Actually Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis produced all the SOS Band hit songs. That’s why Prince fired Jimmy & Terry from The Time. Which as you can see was a blessing

"Just be good to me" "Tell me if you still care"

No they wouldn't be disappointed. The SOS Band was one of the best bands ever. EVER

The lead singer of the SOS BAND on this song is MARY DAVIS. Amber picked a winner here! This was their first big hit in 1980. You guys definitely need to revisit this band. They were on fire in the early-mid 80s. Next song should be "Just Be Good To Me" or ""Just The Way You Like It. SOS Band has a great discography, and their lead, Mary Davis, was a great singer. Very smooth, distinct voice.

The lead singer is Mary Davis. I first heard it when they opened for one of the large concert tours (6-8 acts). They literally rocked it for at least 20 minutes. A week later the song broke nationally. Good times.

One of the hottest Jams from back in the day. EVERYBODY LOVED THIS SONG.

Oh, baby! Taking me back to high school with this one! Heard this with Chic's LeFreak and Taste of Honey's Boogie Oogie Oogie! GREAT Female Friday, Miss Amber!

Finally got to the early 80’s roller skating all time band. Such a time

This was like getting into a time machine and going back to 1980. I feel it down to my bones, how things were back then, the vibe, the life, everything. I was in 8th grade, good times!!

Your skating was NOT official unless that, It's Nasty by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Genius of Love by the Tom Tom Club, Cars by Gary Numan, My Sharona by The Knack and Rock You Like A Hurricane by The Scorpions.

The Funk and Soul tunes of the 70s and 80s was absolute fire!

I got to see them in concert. My date and I were invited back to their hotel. We did go and we all ended up staying there half the night talking about so many diverse subjects from psychology to philosophy.

Oh the Disco Funk era.... Some great music!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I was a dj in High School in these years. We did tons of dances and roller world nights. This one always got em in for some 80s funk Line Dancing .

I swear you just don’t ever want that song to end.

This was such a big hit when it came out, Jay and Amber. Other tracks to check out by them are: "Just The Way You Like It", "Just Be Good To Me", "The Finest", "Weekend Girl", "High Hopes". There are many more but these are good ones to continue with.

Sounds Of Success!

Never really noticed the amazing recording quality on this song before! Magnificent!

Never was in a roller skating rink.....but Jammed on the dance floor many times to this groove!🎉🎉 Nobody left sitting when this came on!!

I grew up listening to SOS. Absolutely love them. You need to watch the video for this.

So happy y'all got around to this banger! This song takes me right back to the roller rink. Rollerskating to this song with the beat bumping and colorful disco lights flashing... Man, I wish I could go back and bottle up that feeling from those fun moments of my childhood... Luckily, music carries that ability! This band has a couple other Club bops you'd both enjoy. Also, Chic, Sister Sledge, C+C Music Factory, Cameo, and Boney M. Y'all keep smiling now!! 🎶🛼🎶

S.O.S. sounds of success. This bands whole discophery is 🔥🔥🔥

ONE OF THE BEST EVER DONE.. THE HORNS, DRUMS, VOCALS, THE BEAT, EVERYTHING.. 2024 AND STILL THE BEST.

So grateful for being born in the early 1960's, able to enjoy this incredible band (and so many others...) in real time!

Produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis - two of musics visionaries and pioneers - not to mention all their work with the Janet. It was pure joy watching you two enjoy this song for the first time!

Fun fact! I was in my early 20s when this song came out, and at that time, I was married to my ex husband.

I reflected on that night many times, and never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that a band I would see would one day become famous!

One of the greatest disco/dance songs ever made. It's so good on so many levels. And the vocals are unreal.

This was high school for me…the SOS Band is classic Soul Funk R&B! The lead is Mary Davis.

This is the radio edit version of the song. The album cut is nearly 8 minutes and it was definitely awesome when they played it at the skating rink.

Still know the words. Such a great song. Shake you body and do it right. 💃

A 1980 SPRING/Summer CLASSIC. EVERYONE heard this song on the radio. I was only 6, when this JAM came out on the airwaves, but...even I KNEW what she meant by, "...Do it tonight!" The VOCAL on this is eternal. And, the FUNKY BASS AND PUNCHY BRASS!Enjoy!

I was just watching you guys with my 10 year old grandson and he started singing the chorus!!😮😮😮 like hooowwww do *you* know this song??? Great reaction!! And it has to be a classic if you a grandson knows it! It was a *GREAT* era to be in your 20s and be able to go to the club with no beefs, no fights, no shootings, no one acting crazy, just literal non-stop dancing to a ton of great music!!

Now that's a groove!✌️❤️

Damn this band was TIGHT

the emotion you display is exactly what we felt SMH we had so much fun 70s early 80s all i can remember is fun , fun, fun!

This is the "45" version of the song. Listen to the "12" version of this classic. This was a dance club monster jam. Check out, "Just be good to me," and "The Finest."

Love this song! Clubbing in the 80’s

The roller skating jams back then was Bounce, Rock, Skate, Roll by Vaughn Mason and Crew, this song, Cutie Pie by One Way, Bad Mama Jamma by Carl Carlton, Don’t Stop the Music etc

The SOS Band were fabulous back in the day. A one-hit-wonder female singer you guys might like from this same year was Anita Ward, with her song "Ring My Bell"...

Love me some SOS band. My favorites are "Have it Your Way" and "Even when you Sleep". So them homecoming week at Texas Southern University 1983.

Growing up in the sixties and seventies was so cool from a musical perspective. We had it all, Blues, R&B, Rock'n'Roll, and Disco. So timeless!

Chandra Currely is a singer but she's more known for her singing in the Atlanta area and Tyler Perry movies. Mary Davis is the lead singer for the SOS Band. Sigidi Abdullah produced their first 2 albums. Ricky Sylvers from the Sylvers produced the 3rd album. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis produced the 4th album.

This song came out when I was in the seventh grade, seventh grade dances. When I heard this song, I thought there could never be a better song than this ever made.

This song was a huge hit in the summer of 1980. I was going to school at the University of Colorado in Boulder and during the summer break, I was hired as a Peer Counselor for a College Prep program. I'd listen to the local Denver radio station and this song was getting a lot of air play. I had to pick up all the high school students flying into the old Stapleton Airport and take them to the dorm they stayed in for the month they were in the summer program. The girls would all want me to turn up the volume on the radio when this song came on as I drove them to the campus. I was 18 going on 19 years old and it was such a fun summer.
