The Finest was a 1986 hit single for the R&B act The SOS Band. It's the 5th track on their 6th studio album Sands of Time and it is one of the group's last songs to feature the vocals of original lead singer Mary Davis.
Singing alongside Mary Davis in the song is Tabu labelmatea Alexander O'Neal & Cherelle. The Finest was a major success on the US R&B charts, reaching no.2 and was their last entry on the Hot 100, where it peaked at no 4. On the dance charts, it peaked at no.8 and was also a hit in the UK Singles chart, reaching no. 17.
From the backwards xylophone intro which is repeated later on in it's intended direction) to that loping Jam & Lewis backing track and Mary Davis' memorable vocals, The Finest is well named.
