American Reacts to The Effortless Quiet Storm Cool of Sade!

[@zinnia2980]

Sade has just returned to release an amazing and very emotional song about her son called Young Lion ❤

[@grantdmc]

Northern Soul was in the early to mid seventies. It re-emerged in the early 80s on the back of the mod revival moment and has resurfaced again in recent years. It still has plenty of followers.

Never heard of Prefab Sprout?!! Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque!

In Denmark we had a pirat radio station as well from 1958 to 1963, because danish radio was stricked too about what music to play; mainly classic and jazz, and the young people wanted pop and rock music more, so there was also send a boat into international waters to broadcast radio from financed a lot by radio adverticing and the radio station was called Radio Mercur(Mercury in english), the government tried hard to shut it down, and in 1963 the danish radio broadcast got it shut down and made their own popular music channel P3(program 3) to cater to the younger demografic. I love Sade, she has such a soulful voice and my favorite of her/their songs is No Ordinary Love.

Dusty Springfield had her own show on TV in the 60's and was the 1st to showcase Motown to the UK

[@LalaDepala_00]

Sade is the Queen ❤

[@carolineskipper6976]

Northern Soul was still going strong in the '70's and '80's. I gave you a round of applause btw when you worked out that Clacton was the scene of one of the Mods and Rockers debacles! It's great to see someone putting together bits of information they have gleaned previously with new stuff! I remember Sade singles from the 1980's very fondly. They just oozed class.

[@delithnutkins6017]

Yes Northern Soul started in Manchester and Wigan. It was basically obscure American soul music usually flip sides to more well known songs but with a good dance beat. Peppered with a few good Four Seasons songs . It was fabulous Oh those days 🎉🎉

#KTF fam!!

[@duncanny5848]

Love Sade's independence. And of course her music.

[@alunchurcher7060]

Sade was a great band playing fantastic music that was sweet to listen too. The sound was a pleasure to the years even for a rock rock rock listener as myself.

[@christopherhazelwood777]

Timeless & so effortlessly romantic ❤️

[@carlosdeferrer3585]

Great choices with the trash theory docs. Many thanks JJ.

[@alandyas7929]

You need to check out , Northern Soul 1977, the Wigan Casino . All nighters are legendary.

[@scotmax8426]

I've loved Sade since they appeared. No ordinary love is a beautiful track that if you haven't heard mibi give a wee look to.

[@Ayns.L14A]

Hey JJ , don't forget you can drive from the northernmost tip of the UK, (John o'groats) to the southernmost tip of cornwall (Land's End) in 14 hours

[@kildogery]

Haha, the way you segued into "...he's dead now." While talking about MJ made me spit out my tea.

[@milton1969able]

You need to watch a video on Northern Soul. Just try and find a good quality one that has high viewing numbers.

[@philjones45]

Sade was at art school in London with my girlfriend in the eighties. She said she was quiet but stylish. She wrote her final dissertation about elephants apparently. Not sure if she finished the course. I was at a different art school.

[@marktubeie07]

I do wish people would pronounce saxophonist correctly - it's _'sax-off-in-ist'_ - sorry just a pet peeve of mine JJ 😊

[@AlexByth]

Ah, but IS it, really? Are they playing Saxoffens?

[@jimmeltonbradley1497]

Having been in an aspiring band in the late 70s, I know what it's like to be a victim of the "reverse snobbery" of the British music press. They're a ghastly bunch. (PS Love your Michael MacDonald)

[@rolon-will3362]

You have 100% heard of Prefab Sprout - everyone knows King Of Rock ‘n Roll.

[@MrGrahawk]

Diamond Life is such a great album. Not my usual thing but class will out.

[@paladin5163]

Radio Caroline. Happy days.

[@peterkarlsson1825]

Prefab Sprout is a must.

[@adamaalto-mccarthy6984]

Look up Paul Weller, The Jam, Style Council & Solo Stuff. Genius.

[@Kelly-MarieLott]

Sade and The Cure should have both been higher uo that list. My mates uncle reckons he got off with her at a party in East London lol

[@GoldilocksZone-665]

Ohhh... Prefab Sprout... Oh boy.

[@marksanders2784]

Cool, so South Essex has TOWIE, those of us in the North of Essex have Sade and Blur, I'll take that. Easier to jump on the train for London, you can be in London Liverpool Street in less than an hour, sod driving there.

[@rolyons]

Niche travel comment - love it! 😅

[@firstsurname7099]

@@rolyons well not really niche, only lazy selfish eejits (and 'mericans coz they've no choice in their land) are gonna drive in(to) London

[@fishtigua]

I lost my virginity to this album. I was 17, she was a saucy 24 yo waitress.

[@cazziefores2183]

Love Sade... JJ Please please can you do some reactions to Angelina Jordan.. She is the best vocalist I have ever heard.. She's also got a fantastic fan base... Love and light from across the pond xxx 🎷🎵🎶🎙️😘😘😘

[@KC-gy5xw]

The other singer in the band Pride that she played in before she went solo was a superior singer for me (and her RANGE!! Wow!!), however that singer's boyfriend wasn't Bob Elms... Sade is nice enough, but I've always found her voice a tad boring after 2 minutes.... Good for her for making it big time though, and Stuart Matthewman writes brilliant songs, he was the real superstar for me.

[@jimmeltonbradley1497]

Clacton's current MP is, unfortunately, the ghastly Nigel Farage who, given half a chance, would have deported Sade's mother back to Nigeria

[@Swedishpolymath]

Goldbridge Djurgården HJK 5th December. Are you interested. I’ll be there with two friends of mine. The trip is paid by US government. Also football clubs are our blood and soil.

[@gallowayeuan]

Clacton is not a nice place. Maybe 40-60 years ago it was ok

[@alexmctear5420]

I found this item on Sade a bit irritating, your constant interruptions did not help, hope you listen to Smooth Operator in it's entirety to understand how good her music was.

[@gigmcsweeney8566]

I saw her performing at Live Aid in 1985 and she sang off key for most of her short set.

[@firstsurname7099]

OMG, let's so weird, coz she says the same about you...
