In a world that pushes us to move fast, hustle harder, and chase success at breakneck speed, what happens when we slow down and trust the process? In this soulful episode of Good Vinyl Mornings, host Prentiss "PL Sweets" Thompson dives into the classic groove of The SOS Band’s "Take Your Time (Do It Right)" to explore the art of patience, persistence, and letting things unfold in their own time.

Released in 1980, this infectious funk-R&B anthem, produced by Sigidi Abdullah and featuring that unmistakable Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis sound, wasn’t just a dancefloor hit—it was a philosophy. The song’s smooth bassline, hypnotic rhythm, and uplifting lyrics remind us that rushing leads to regret, but moving with intention leads to lasting success.

PL breaks down how the message in this timeless track applies to careers, relationships, personal growth, and creativity. From artists perfecting their craft to entrepreneurs building their vision, the ones who last aren’t always the fastest starters—they’re the ones who move wisely, steadily, and with purpose.

So, what’s your hurry? Whether you’re working toward a dream or navigating life’s challenges, remember: taking your time doesn’t mean standing still—it means doing it right. 🎶✨
