About The Record:

Just Be Good To Me (12" Single), by SOS Band, features extended and special versions of the iconic synth-funk track originally from the group's album On the Rise. Produced by the then-emerging duo Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, this release marked a pivotal collaboration that helped launch their legendary careers in R&B production. A unique aspect is the heavy use of the Roland TR-808 drum machine, creating a deep, pulsating bass groove that became influential in boogie and electro-funk sounds. The title song, with lead vocals by Mary Davis, remains a fan-favorite classic for its infectious rhythm and bold lyrics about overlooking infidelity. The single achieved significant success, reaching No. 2 on the US R&B chart and No. 3 on the Dance chart.
