Swing Out Sister is a rock-jazz-pop musical group best known worldwide for their 1987 song "Breakout", their only song to reach the US top 10. Various listeners have classified their sound as everything from smooth jazz to cool jazz to acid jazz.

Swing Out Sister was formed by Andy Connell (keyboards), Martin Jackson (drums) and Corinne Drewery (vocals). (The name came from a 1945 movie starring Arthur Treacher, called Swing Out, Sister.) Both Connell and Jackson had been playing in other bands prior to forming SOS, while Drewery was actually a fashion designer before joining up with the band.
