The S.O.S. Band [1982] - Have It Your Way [Tabu #ZS4 03527]

A lovely, deep 'n sweet soul ballad by The S.O.S. Band from their 1982 'S.O.S. III' album, released as a single in US but not UK.

The group is from Atlanta and were originally named Sounds Of Santa Monica, they changed their name to S.O.S. Band (Sound Of Success) in 1979.  This is was their third album, but the first produced by Jimmy Jam Harris and Terry Lewis who had the 'Midas touch' in the 80s.

This album also includes, what I consider to be, their best record 'Groovin' (That's What We're Doin')', which did virtually nothing chart wise in US as it only appears to have been released as a 12" single, but reached #72 in UK charts. The 12" version is longer than the album version (below). It also has another great track 'High Hopes' (below)
