This song is still being played by marching bands with musicians who weren't even born when this song was written - and they LOVE IT!! I still love the original
Yes. This song always reminds me of high school and college marching band during stands and parades. “SOS” and “Backstabbers” by The OJays were always crowd pleasers.
1979/80 walking into the club and hearing this blasting before we could get thru the door. The party started right there. We dance our way thru the door straight to the dance floor dancing with each other and everybody else on the floor 😄 OH TO BE YOUNG AGAIN!!😂this takes me back in a good way. In the U. S . NAVY, at that time, San Diego California!!!
I still have this song Dit Dit Dit Dash Dash Dash Dit Dit Dit and the album S.O.S. on the original ivory yellow cassette tape released in 1980 from Tabu/CBS Records. This is a real C-L-A-S-S-I-C groove from one of the best groups in this genre of music S.O.S. Band!!!!!!
One of their early hits that sparked a movement to many generations and the R&B industry. Remember like it was yesterday as a young teenager. Miss those days.
I'm with you in thought. I miss those good old days when we can party til daylight, and not have to worry about getting shot by some crazed teen with a gun.
This is very SERIOUS groove. In addition to the synthesizer being on fire..there are so many jammin'hooks in this song, its craZzy-awesome-bopping-cool!!!!
I remember when i was 15yrs old in Stockton, Cali. Playing handball at stribley park listening to this jam while everyone was enjoying themselfs; Cruising around the park blasting this, at bbq pits, it was beautiful time in my life as well as others, I just wish the kids today could have experienced the same,i feel so blessed to experience the whole lowrider movement and it wouldn't have been the same if the Music wasnt right, So thank you Sounds Of Success
When this song first came out back in the early 80s I was in high school I went to Pacific Palisades High School in California heard this song on the radio I almost lost my mind , with just the way it starts out it's just incredible This Groove is a Groove that you can just get down on the floor and roller skate I read some of the comments and just like they said I'm all up in my feelings about this song cuz it brings back so many good memories especially when I was with Uncle jamm's Army back in the days . YES , HELLO BABE !!!!
Reginald T Hammond Sr Great Comet Reginald. My father wrote this song. It made me smile to see such a wonderful complement. I am also from Los Angeles I went to Hamilton. I also went to uncle Jim’s army LOL
@Barbara Dyce I read your comment thank you so much & it was an honor & Pleasure to put a smile on your face to the person who father wrote this song I always love SOS band right along with a lot of different other Artists & Bands back in the (70s 80's 90's) . All these 3 decades was truly a huge explosion of R&B & funk . It will never ever be the same again . May God continue to bless you & your family❗️❤️ To The Sounds Of Success❗️👍🏾😎✊🏾
THIS Was the Song that GOT The S.O.S. Band NOTICED by The MUSIC World ! I Got The DEBUT Album my Senior Year of HS. I KNEW this Band Would Be a MAINSTAY.
Mohmar-Kwesi Nosakehne' Great song! However you are incorrect. Take your time do it right was what made the world hear THE SOS BAND Check out the producer and writer SIGIDI Abdullah. Rest in peace Daddy.
i was in 6th grade when this came out and was obsessed and mead OBESESSED to the point i would call every radio station in mpls and ask to play this track cuz i felt everyone should hear this jam. im dacing and typing this. LOVING YOU for this
Meenn this was the REAL DAMN MUSIC. When this song was released I was only 6 years bro, however, I am a true lover of this music because of my father. I GREW Up in this music flow I even imitated my dad's funky dance style. Can't forget it.
I feel you guys I know exactly what you was talkin about I was a young buck running around myself doing this time that was one of those records that I jammed to
This particular song was hard to find at one time, not being on any of their collections so if you didnt have the cassette tape or original album...it was impossible to get! So finally they reissued the album on cd, and I was able to buy it...so yippee!!!
I used to go there; or African Square Park, National Guard Armory, Disco City, Miami Jackson and Northwestern High School dances. Kind of miss those days.
Quand tu fais un morceau pareil ça veut dire que tu as tous compris à la musique du pire son ta3 les ouffffs dingue de groove de style de funky sound dû pure son venu d ailleurs merci SOS BAND pour ces morceaux inoubliables 😬🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
I was recently exposed to this group and they are truly phenomenal. I've always loved "groove"as a music style. The talent & range that this group has is "above". The instrument and layering range of sounds, just is 'music' for the soul & body to move🕺🏾💃🏽🌟💃🏽🔆🌛🔥🔥🎊💎🥰🤩〰️〰️🌟🌟
I loved this song. My high school band played this. So many marching bands HBCU and high schools all over the world played this. Still slamming in 2019 December to be exact!

I sure wish these bands would come back...now this was music where you actually played an instrument. Those were the days!
