They were simply incredible R&B Group. I am extremely blessed to have lived in that era, that will never come again. If I will make it in Paradise, this is the kind of music I will always want to listen to.
What the fuck happen to the world we live in right now? The 80's was when everyone were happy and getting along and the best thing was the music that brought us all together. I so miss the 80's.
As life goes on we learn to hold on …. I’m 51 I was the little dancer my mom would call me to show her friends that I could dance 💃 to this day this sands of time is my house cleaning record ❤ memories are good I sure many have treasure memories too ❤ love to all
The SOS band ruled the 80's with this classic. When this received play, the floor met many, many, people. A tremendous time when music touched a part of you, and the "GOLDEN" memories are always a part of you.
I heard this at a house party in Forrest Gate, East London, being mixed by Soul II Soul, back in the 80's, it was AWESOME!! and still is. Any one remember Bentleys Canning Town, Stones The Thatched House, Fools Paradise Dean Street to name a few old haunts. Best days ever, never ever any trouble back then, all the raves and sound systems, quality. Every weekend on top of the launderette at Bow, Crucial rockers, Erroll and FATS!!!!! Get in touch.
There was the SOS Band.....until Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis came along. Nostalgic, indeed. Clarence Avant, thank you for keeping faith with the SOS Band. Brilliant joint.
Passam as décadas e o prazer das ótimas lembranças sempre retornam a memória ao ouvirmos The Finest 😢 Que saudade dos melhores momentos da minha vida! 👏
Oh so many memories Birmingham town centre Edward No 7's Saturday night, everyone went crazy when this came on, my favourite of theirs, was listening to Change glow of light when Luther was singing with them and the algorithm brought me here thanks youtube another amazing 80's band, can't believe its nearly 40 years
The oldskool Hardcore/Jungle/Drum & Bass genres from 1991 to 1995 owe a rarely acknowledged debt to 1970s and 1980s soul like this, as so many of the vocal hooks those tunes depended on were sampled from these songs. For example; the sampled vocals from 'Finest' by The S.O.S. Band were used extensively in Foul Play's 1993 underground Hardcore/D&B anthem, 'Finest Illusion':- ruclips.net/video/A8La6y70O8s/видео.html. Respect is due to all of these original artists! 🙏❤

Imagine a gig with SOS Band & Shalamar for 1 night only. I am there now! Nothing could beat it.
Great lineup
A little taste of who I still am!🥰 Ooh! I still have the original 12inch 😉✌️
I was 12 years old lol
One of the best 1980’s RB groups!😊
Still sounds so good after all these years. Classic Jam & Lewis jam, with Alexander O'Neal and Lisa Keith on background vocals.
Jam and Lewis for the win.. Alexander O'Neal..that dude incredible music..that guy in the video lip syncing too funny

OMG! Probably one of the best R&B Song ever - is The S.O.S Band - The Finest. Can be a perfect Wedding song.
So many great Jam & Lewis tunes. Just Janet, geez! If I had to choose one, this is THE FINEST of their entire career. ❤️
Jam & Lewis ran the 80’s!
Listening as I workout in April 2023❤️
The Greatest 80's GROUP
This is one of the those songs which when it’s over, it makes you pause for a second and reflect on what you just heard.
Masterpiece.
It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This Soul Masterpiece. 👌💫
Still can’t enough of this song.
Great song and it will last forever. This type of music is the best created. Of course l am opinionated.
One of the Finest tracks by Jam&Lewis.
Never again, will this type of music ever come again! Never!

If I'm not mistaken, this song came out in the summer of 1986, I think.
Summer of 85- Pretty Sure!!...
There was the SOS Band.....until Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis came along. Nostalgic, indeed. Clarence Avant, thank you for keeping faith with the SOS Band. Brilliant joint.
