[supermagic414]

S.o.S Band for Life - Super Magic Brussels

[dokterklavan1]

One of de best songs from SOS.

Whit tanks to TL and JJ

[JonneyeTV]

MY JAM! I'm about to loop the intro....beat is too dope!

[Beechboy68]

Im an 80's (1982) baby...this OG version is tight. born and raised to this shit right here...but yall cant forget about Warren G's sample of this in the 90's on his song "Back Up"...always liked that one

[fishnet9002]

If its real music why put the term Old School on it, to me it sound as good as it did when they laced the track, actually to me it sounds better then when they made it back in the late 90's because we need those song and times even more now. I think the term old school should go to the way side like parachute pants and mean muggin'.

[TYCOONLAGOON]

I love my parents. They used to play old classics like this all the time in the crib. I appreciate the Old School/real music

[djredbonediva]

man...this is music... i can still picture myself in the mirror with a hair brush and beads in my hair...lip-synching... oh man...my jam!!!!!!

[thecrazyrandomgirl1]

This is when they actually USED instruments rather than computer generated shit.

[jackie9847]

ive always thought this sounded so much like the finest the tune im talking about

[SeanX503]

THIS NAKES ME THINK ABOUT THE NATION OF ISLAM! I START CRYING BECAUSE FARRAKHAN SAVED MY LIFE!!

[iwantMJ1]

HOW DID WE GET TO THIS MUSIC TO tyler the creator , lil b , nicki minaj and lady gaga smh ???

[shjtyu]

@iwantMJ1 Don't leave out rihanna, lil wayne, trey songz, beyonce, neo, and so many others. Real R & B singers just aren't promoted or given record deals these days. The record companies are only into these white-washed pop wannabes, who don't talk about anything meaningful or that promotes and stimulates deep thought.

[iwantMJ1]

@shjtyu Exactly!!...everything is pop-washed .... no soul, feeling into it ...... the genre rnb doesnt exists anymore its either pop or hi- hop ...

[fredgeniusarmstrong]

THIS MUSIC CHANGES THE FEELIN AROUND ME, LOVE THIS SONG! THIS IS FRED GENIUS!!

[JakeHunter2010]

[spoogy45]

you guys like this? just wait its gonna come back stronger! and just for us! fuck the rest of em.

[prophetess1992]

What music back then, music has changed so much, back then you had a few junk artist where you were going "what in the world" but then you had so many other great talents. Now it is totally the reverse, these artist now your constantly going "what in the world". No really real talent, all overdubs and studio work. I long for the days of raw talent, like the sos band, EWF, Midnight Star, the dazz band, Charlie Wilson and his crew dread! raw talent.

[l5afb]

Many Thanks KeefMcclain. I am in the uk and can you believe I-tunes will not allow downloads from US.

[KeefMcclain]

[LOPEZFARVE91]

Rest In Peace Lena Shiela Perez 7/30/72-7/1/11 La Loca Shorty My Varrio Girl!

[l5afb]

Gutted. I had this album on vinyl. Sadly lost. Where can I listen to the whole album?

Anyone help?

[KeefMcclain]

@l5afb

iTunes has this entire cd for less than 10$...though its well worth much more

[midnightmassager]

I'm happy to say I was fortunate enough to be part of this generations music because this stuff I hear today would be at best be "b" single material.....sos band, midnight star, imagination, james ingram were quality.

[ClainDoleBoy]

[louishenna]

@phtbryant : I know right have the new age r&b singers cant even sing or have any substance to their material. If I ever get a chance to produce a song im using the influences of the 80s and real vocalist.

[babah77088]

[Supaflaii]

[MsCargento]

THANK GOD FOR THE OLD SKOOL!!! SHE WAS THE BEST SUPREME!!!

[bjcapital]

My fav band of all time. SOS albums were released under " Tabu Records" label which had a motto saying :

"The Earth Has music for those who listen".

They were absolutely right !!

[txnurselawlvn]

DAMN! Take me back!

[MsKathunter]

Love SOS! My favorite band of ALL Time. Come back to Mpls.

[MrKayRM]

i just listen to music like that...

oldmusic... music with heart ...

 dunno why but i thing its way better then the music of today and im only 18 :)

[MsKathunter]

@MrKayRM You go MrKayRM! You know what you talking about.

[Yadada2626]

SOS band was in a class of their own.....I love all their music ....I was born in 1982 and can remeber my parents bumping this music on vinyl when I was little

[DIJV79]

Sounds of Santa Monica, Ca. LA in the 80's was unstoppable.

[Supaflaii]

Fuck all this nowday's fakeass music-industry bullshit !

70'..80'..early 90 true shit will never come back

[quitestorm29]

@Supaflaii thats why you better get out there and colect it damm right

[Supaflaii]

@quitestorm29 i'am already out there for about 12 years :D

[XXXXLOWRIDERXXXX]

@Supaflaii EXACTLY HOW I FEEL..TODAYS MUSIC SUCKS  AND WILL ALWAYS SUCK..AS LONG AS THE DUMB RECORD COMPANIES CONTINUE TO SELL AMERICAN IDOL GARBAGE...BUNCH OF AUTUTUNE BULLCRAP..SUCKS..

[kikoderealengo]

@Supaflaii Yes! yes!

I'm a Brazilian fan of real music. I didn't know this one but it's great!

I was born in the wrong time! I'm 26, but I wish I was at least 40 to enjoy this songs live!!!

[MeAgainstTheRadio]

@Supaflaii

What are you talking about?

The 90s is when EVERYTHING started to suck.

The 2000s and 2010s is just a continuation of it.

[KnockoutNed1]

@Supaflaii never say never

[lbra3]

CLASSIC

[MCQuaya08]

i love this song. This is some real ness. =D

[thohunt]

SOS was one of the best groups ever. they didn't have a bad song on the albums. This came out when a good time was just that a good time.

[musicmellody1]

IM Getting Money~2Pac

[tedmuss]

this song completes me :D

[sentiment2u]

Luv, luv, luv this music era!

[hansenmichaelkaare]

soulfunk on a high level

[segetti]

Quality all through... Sooo underated IMHO

[poser237]

Beautiful!!!!!

[TheSW67]

One of the many, many superb songs that were around at the time - I never had them off my walkman (yes kids - it was tapes n vinyl then!). Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis certainly knew what they were doing! Takes me right back to the good times...when music WAS music!!!

Some other classic songs of this era:

No One's Gonna Love You - S.O.S Band

Gene - BB&Q Band

Will You Satisfy? - Cherrelle

Haven't You Heard? - Patrice Rushen

[luvdirtys]

Wow! This song is tough!!!

[LadyxLegend]

These days still rule - these songs still King... ♥

[YalkOne]

4 seconds in and i knew id love this!

[gregorymmm2]

people it is not possible to compose this high calibur style again........cause today's artist are too pyschologically challenged to begin with........today insanity and pathological behavior is accepted as normal. Groups like the S.O.S Band will never be again. you have your selves to thank 4 raising these bad azzed kids lol

[sunshineinct1995]

sweeeeeet!!! Love it!!

[ladysoreal]

slow groove dancing, fingers popping!

[sthmps34]

This song takes me back. Wow !!! Doesn't get any better than this.

[msJ5ful]

this is a great copulation....

[KrayzayKilla187]

ohhh! funkin up muh ears now ;)

[huneynutts]

this is when muzic was muzic

[9bigstep]

@huneynutts u took the words out of my mouth

[mysteriously01]

brilliant song

[kunleeko]

This were the days when music was meaningful.

[mysteriously01]

epic song......

[stephenngipson]

THIS SONG IS A VERY RELAXING SLOW JAM

[gloobowski]

I still have this single on wax from my aspiring DJ days.back then it had tie instrumental the long version and the acapella to make your own mixes

Those acapellas gave birth to mix tapes .We used to take rap insrtumentals and mixes them with the vocals back in 86 and 87,Those were the days

[ONEOfAKiND805]

i wasnt even thought of when this came out l0l

im 17 now..but i gots good taste in music!

i hate the music they play these days..

[StarX81]

To this day I STILL have "Sands of Time' on cassette that I bought in 1986 when this album was all over the place! I was 21 then. So I grew up to great music like this.

[2006canna]

I was 20. Thanks GOD.

[mrswayed1]

Man our generation will go down as the greatest ever. If you were in high school in the 70's to about 1986, then you are from the greatest generation of music ever.

[bumpin1ohm]

I was 17 when this dropped. Still lovin this cut.

[bosnian03]

Timeless piece... I was 17... Great album...

[glamlove35]

I was 16....

[TheJedi365]

They do not make music like this anymore. The music industry is being controlled by corporations that are out of tune with real music. But when i listen to this song i can always tune in. TIMELESS

[VintageSoundsNumber1]

I got it too (the entire vinyl...) even the album cover used to rock !! (and still does !)

[sardhouse76]

i have the entire LP. respect for the SOS Band

[Lovernu]

Back in da day I had a girlfriend and we would fall asleep on the phone, wake up to hear each others voice first thing in the morning! LOL seems like it was all an illusion, a fantasy. Unreal! But these songs are far better than the new ones they make about love, there is no poetry in it! I think that to hear the beauty of love in the form of a song is better than having a dreaful, brutal love in your life. DREAM ALL YOUR TROUBLES AWAY...Twinkle in your eye. This is the stuff dreams are made of.

[MyNatboy]

the 80's and 90's omg!!!!! the music was AWESOME

[jfilesbooks]

Not to get off the beaten path or anything, but does anyone notice the album covers from this period?. Check out this one...it's vibrant and funky. Artists really worked on these album covers back in the day. Now, you just have portraits, like all the artists are fashion models or something. Nothing wrong with lookin' good, but there's something to be said for substance beyond the cd jacket.

[4Joa]

the bestt love is when a person can dream of how wonderful it is .... love that is!!!

[lannes82]

I love this song!!! The 80´s rules!

[wickstarr]

2pac gettin money !!!

[805FiltrosFunk]

@wickstarr ,,You cant bring up 2pac when it comes to songs like these! No comparison! haha

[Entropy161]

@805FiltrosFunk ...He was referring to the fact that the 2pac song in question sampled this song. People do it all the time on this site...

[lunejersey]

@wickstarr You sure i sounds like it but im not sure

[koolheat55]

SOS Band, Midnight Starr, Atlantic Starr, bands that played and performed. They gave us (those of us from that era, LOL) party songs and love songs hat we remember today. Some of these songs even help create our Kids (LOL) Mary Davis' voice made some Brothers wish she was theirs, I know I did.

[Renaydapinkgirl]

thanx for posting. everytime i hear the sos band i go into a trance of memories good n bad.x

[tindo114]

I just found my exgirlfriend from back in those days on facebook..she used to sing this to me and i would really like to just say hi to her but i dont want her to think im trying to rekindle anything.We have all moved on but I just thought it might b nice to say hi nd remember this tune.Any advice ppl.

[pacaha]

@tindo114 i met an ex from oooh 20 years ago were good friends now she has kids i do 2 i found her through facebook nothing in it just good friends

[tindo114]

@pacaha thx for your advice.i am gonna send her a note and i will let you know how it goes. i just needed someone like you to give me a push.Thx again

[pacaha]

@tindo114 your welcome an good luck

[VALlewellyn]

@tindo114 just email her the clip and say "good times, hope all is well with you", Nothing more than that, really. If it was me, I would appreciate the gesture. Best of luck!

[simplythebest40]

This song!! What can I say about 80's music. The best!!!!

[excelsior544]

This lp kept this hillbilly's turntable as hot as the summer of '86 itself! Wore out the grooves and the rug too. What higher praise is there?!!!!

[CruiserMike1965]

[steveehardcore]

[dabruzg]

Love them!

[greg42687]

Nobody can touch jimmy and terrys production. And they recorded this just up the street frm me in MPLS!

[kidablue]

Laid back and relaxed for the lovers of good music

[In2Tech]

TImeless!!

The only modern producers o come close to this rich R&B was the Neptunes with "Excuse Me Miss" for Jay-z

Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis are clearly geniuses for this track
