The reason that the SOS band's songs sound similar to each other because they had a "signature" sound which the electronic drum beat and I think their basslines were done with a synthesizer...
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis used an 808 drum machine on the SOS Band tracks. They were fired from the Time by Prince when he found out they were producing the SOS Band.
Something about their songs.... IT'S CALLED "JIMMY JAM AND TERRY LEWIS/FLYTE TYME from "THE TIME!" and it's the hand held synthesizer! That's all LIL' BROTHER!
You can also look at "B. B. & Q. Band", cool songs from them : "On The Beat", "Genie", "Dreamer", "All Night Long (She's Got the Moves I Like)", "Imagination", "Hard to Get Around", "Children of the Night", "Time For Love", "We've Got To Do It", "Starlette", "(I Could Never Say) It's Over", "Riccochet".. Love the Brooklyn, Bronx, and Queens Band !
Another great Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis cut. It's time for Imagination and "Just An Illusion" and Princess doing "Say I'm Your Number One", both British acts from the same period as this.
I'm adding to you list: Holy Ghost, Move you boogie body, Lovers should never fall in love, I adore you, Don't hang up, Make believe lovers, Let's have some fun, Flying high on your love & Hit and run
JJ can you please react to Another Man by Barbara Mason....the beat on this tune is so cold that I wouldn’t be surprised if you started using it for your intro’s 👍

Great comment!😎
SOS BAND est une odyssée .Mieux que ça dans le style, je ne vois pas ! Merci Just Jammin'.
I leaped into the club whenever I would hear this jam come on!
Check out these S.O.S. Band jams: “Groovin’ (That’s What We’re Doin’)”, “Sands Of Time”, “The Finest” and “Even When You Sleep”.
Also "S.O.S. ( Dit Dit Dit Dash Dash Dash Dit Dit Dit )", "Borrowed Love" and "Do You Still Want To?"
Those are jams.

I love it! Remember you can't be done with SOS until you listen to their first hit, "Take Your Time (Do It Right)" and "The Finest"!
