They're producing Peabo Bryson whose new CD is about 2 drop in a few weeks and they're workin' with Janet, so why not The S.O.S. Band again too? LOVE Mary Davis' voice and still dream about meeting her and taking a pic with her! She's my all-time fav'rite R&B female vocalist and doesn't even KNOW it.

No doubt,it would be interesting but are the S.O.S Band currently signed to a label these days? They haven't done any new music in awhile,have they? It's nice to see that Jam and Lewis are still active,though.

Too late now imo.

It's odd to hear "It's nice to see that Jam and Lewis are still active, though.". Have they ever not been? Their discography is long and varied and consistent.

The SOS Band, or anyone, could get a FlyteTyme production if they scheduled the time, talked turkey, and ponied up the money required after negotiations.

But money aside, maybe SOS Band wishes to do other things & explore other sounds.

They play Peabo's new song "Love Like Yours and Mine" to death on one of our old school stations here in Philly, I had no idea Jam & Lewis produced that, good tune!

They've been touring Europe for the past four years, had a Pledge account to release a new album, but that went nowhere. Their last song was called "Just Get Ready" and it was a "Just Be Good To Me" clone without Jam & Lewis, but sounded remarkably like them. The song itself was not really that impressive and sounded very dated. I think it won some Brit award tho. As always, Mary sounds the same as she ever did, which is AWESOME! <3

Absolutely LOVE his new joint! And quite honestly, although the album boasts only 8 songs and a live medley featuring Chante Moore, it's got some pretty good shit up on there! I'm SO ELATED that radio has picked up on it! He's a LOVE legend in my book! <3

Remember they did have a new single a couple years ago someone posted and we gave it good reviews. Can't remember name of it.

yep "Just Get Ready".It sounds alot like "Just Be Good To Me".

I agree! I was just listening to a few of their collaborations for 8/08 day!

Hell, even a Mary Davis album would be cool at this point.

My all-time favorite voice in R&B for YEARS!!!! Sumpthin' SO SPECIAL about her tone and delivery. No one even SOUNDS like Mary! I'd luv 2c Jam & Lewis lay some trax down with her! <3

It DOES, but not in a very GOOD way. It's like a cheap clone of it that cops all the stuff Flyte Tyme created way back when. Lyrically, it's not very good either. "Just Be Good To Me" had substance in its lyrics, phunkdaddy. <3

World's best band...no bullshit

I frequently post on a Facebook page that is focused on old R&B music.Someone posted this song recently.It's a rare,obscure 1976 song by a lady named Mary Davis and yes,it sounds just like the Mary Davis of the SOS Band! Can it be her?

think it's 1976 but it might be from earlier in the 70s.

OMG! That IS MOMMA Mary up in them records! I would know my favorite female R&B voice for over 35 yrs ANYTIME I hear it! It's also in the way she sings "CAIN'T." Those are both Mary Davis records!!!! Hard 2 believe she's been sangin' all those years! Of course, the BEST Mary vocals are with The S.O.S. Band, more so the Jam & Lewis ballads! LOVE my girl!!!! <3

she's an amazing singer! Soulful and gritty.After she left the SOS Band in 1987,did she ever do any solo albums?

Speaking of the S.O.S Band.......I got this song in my head today........Take Your Time (Do It Right) (1980)

A timeless classic that never gets old, I love that groove in the middle the best

To my knowledge she recorded 2 albums after leaving the band. One was called Seperate Ways. I think it was her 2nd but I'm not sure if it was her first or second album. But her second album had a lead single called Don't Wear It Out which was produced by the LaFace team of L.A. Reid and Babyface. Surprisingly, it never took off in a major way.
