"Take Your Time (Do It Right)" is the first single by The S.O.S. Band. In the US, it reached the number one spot in the R&B singles chart and number three on the pop chart during the summer of 1980.

On the dance chart, "Take Your Time (Do It Right)" went to number one for four non-consecutive weeks.

The single was certified platinum by the RIAA for sales of two million copies. It is featured on their self-titled debut album S.O.S., which was released in 1980, the same year as the single.

The S.O.S. Band (sometimes written SOS 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," "Tell Me If You Still Care," and "The Finest." The band was founded in Atlanta, Georgia in 1977. The original group members included Willie "Sonny" Killebrew (saxophone), Billy Ellis (flute), Jason "T.C." Bryant (keyboards), Bruno Speight (guitar), John Simpson (bass), James Earl Jones III (drums), and Mary Davis (lead vocals, keyboards).

It was originally known as Santa Monica, but later changed its name to The S.O.S. Band- an acronym for Sounds of Success.

After listening to its demo and being impressed with their sound, Tabu Records founder Clarence Avant signed the group to its first recording contract. In 1980, the group released its first hit single, "Take Your Time (Do It Right)", which was certified platinum and sold over 2 million copies.

Its debut album, S.O.S., went gold and sold over 800,000 copies. Trumpeter, vocalist, and percussionist Abdul Ra'oof joined the band while it was on a world tour.

In 1983, the band joined forces with then-new production team of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, who went on to craft a string of R&B hits for the group, which included "Just Be Good to Me," "High Hopes," "Tell Me If You Still Care," "Borrowed Love," "No One's Gonna Love You," "Just the Way You Like It," and "The Finest."

I gotta break this sleep pattern man... but in the meantime 🤩🤩🤩 . Trust is. I wish more women would just date. Stop worrying so much about “The One” and learn to enjoy the experience of being single. . Cause Men date in and out of relationships. This whole thing is constructed on Men being able to “choose” you! 😳 . All I’m tryna get you to think about is YOSELF! 🤷🏾‍♀️ For once in ya life! Maybe it ain’t about how good your sex is, if you can cook or not or how snatched your waist is? 🤔 Maybe it’s just about the way this person makes you feel right now? . Now my thoughts on commitment are another conversation. And NO this has absolutely nothing to do with my relationship. 🙄 . Just one of my #wildthoughts. 🥰 Just the way my mind works... I came across this post from #TheSOSBand and couldn’t even help myself. 😏 Shouts to @urbanthrowbacks . Chatting a lot more about this on #TeaAndWildThoughts👄! Tuesday morning at 8:30am! Here on #IGLive! #thebeautyinfluencer #oldschoolmusic #theblackgodfather #urbanthrowbacks #latenight #blacklove #blackfeminists #freethinker #lightworker #sundaynight #selflove #selfcare #shadowwork #justbegoodtome https://www.instagram.com/p/ByhASLkhCr0/?igshid=1lsczl9u5glpy
