The S.O.S Band S.O.S LP 1980 DJ Promo Take Your Time ( Do it Right) #1 Disco Hit
Take Your Time took over the Floors and still fills em
One of 1980's most promising R&B debuts came from the S.O.S. Band, whose debut album is a classic. This sleek yet gritty album went gold in the U.S. (which isn't counting sales in Europe), and the infectious "Take Your Time (Do It Right)" soared to number one on Billboard's R&B singles chart. It isn't hard to see why the S.O.S. Band's first album was a hit; all of the tracks are excellent. That is true of up-tempo funk-dance gems like "Take Your Time (Do It Right)," "S.O.S. (Dit Dit Dit Dat Dat Dat Dit Dit Dit)," "Love Won't Wait for Love," and "Take Love Where You Find It," as well as the melancholy soul ballad "What's Wrong With Our Love Affair?" In 1980, there were plenty of inconsistent albums that failed to live up to the promise of an exciting single, but the S.O.S. Band's debut isn't one of them. Those who bought this LP after hearing "Take Your Time (Do It Right)" on the radio were not disappointed by the other tracks -- they were happy to learn that the S.O.S. Band's first album is impressively consistent. And they also discovered that the Atlanta outfit had a major asset in lead singer Mary Davis, an expressive, big-voiced belter who demonstrated that she could handle up-tempo material and ballads equally well. Not all of the S.O.S. Band's subsequent albums were consistent, but this release is superb as well as essential.
S.O.S. is the debut album released by the R&B band the S.O.S. Band on the Tabulabel in the summer of 1980. It was produced by Sigidi Abdullah.
The album was a hit at nightclubs and "Take Your Time (Do It Right)" became a disco classic.
The S.O.S. Band (sometimes written as S.O.S. Band; abbreviation for Sounds of Success) is an American R&B and electro-funk group who gained fame in the 1980s. They are best known for the songs "Take Your Time (Do It Right)", "Just Be Good to Me", and "The Finest".he album peaked at No. 2 on the R&B albums chart. It also reached No. 12 on the Billboard 200. The album yielded the Billboard R&B number-one hit "Take Your Time (Do It Right)" which also peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, No. 1 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart, and No. 51 on the UK Singles Chart. Two following singles, "S.O.S. (Dit Dit Dit Dash Dash Dash Dit Dit Dit)" and "What's Wrong with Our Love Affair?", also charted on the R&B chart, reaching numbers 20 and 87 respectively. The album was digitally remastered and reissued on CD with bonus tracks in 2013 by Demon Music Group.
Take Your Time (Do It Right)" is the debut single by American R&B group the S.O.S. Band. It was released as the lead single from their debut studio album, S.O.S. (1980) on March 18, 1980, through Tabu Records, three months before the album's release.
"Take Your Time (Do It Right)" peaked at number three on the US Billboard Hot 100 and was a disco hit.
What an album! Of course we have "Take Your Time (Do It Right)" but S.O.S. (DitDitDitDatDatDatDitDitDit) is also a real heater and up in the leagues with Take Your Time in my opinion. The other songs are slammers as well. Surely one of the best disco albums ever made and you should definitely grab it if you're serious about records!
