Groove Patrol was the eighth and final album by High Inergy. It was unique among their albums because instead of using a plethora of producers, the entire album was produced by the same production team. It featured the song, "He's a Pretender," that was a Top 30 Dance single on Billboard and one of their few recordings to hit the Hot 100 pop charts. Smokey Robinson also appeared on two songs. The song, "So Right" was also the title track of the group's previous album. "Groove Patrol" peaked at #62 on the R&B charts.

Although original member Michelle Martin Rumph is pictured with the group on both sides of the album, she left just before the album's release. She was replaced by dancer Pat Douglas who performed with Linda Howard and lead singer Barbara Mitchell on Motown 25 and on Soul Train promoting this album. Shortly after those performances Barbara Mitchell left for a solo career with producer George Tobin and Motown retired the group.
