"Take Your Time (Do It Right) Part 1," the S.O.S. Band (6/28/80)
First things first: lead singer Mary Davis should've had a massive career, both within S.O.S. and upon leaving. Her widescreen voice is a marvel, and the subtle growl she slips into during "Time"'s choruses is indisputably sexy. Second things second: "Take Your Time" is a remarkably dirty song for a 1980 #1 (please, you know it's about sex). Third things third: as funky as this song is, it feels like there's something missing, almost like it's a European concept of funk as opposed to a white-hot band from Atlanta. And it's a good minute-plus too long. Fourth things fourth: B
