"Smooth Operator" is about a fashionable con-man who moves within high social circles. He is popular with women and breaks many hearts. The lyrics "Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male / Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale" imply that he also uses women to obtain his income. It is also clear that he does not hold sincere affection for these women, as Sade sings near the end, "his heart is cold". He's a professional criminal and she is co-operating with cops. (WIKI)

Sade is the epitome of class and grace. She is stunningly beautiful and I've always loved this song. Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 had a song with a similar "smokey" vibe in 1967 called "The Look of Love". Lounge music. ✨✨🎶✨✨

Smooth operator is or was a term used to describe someone who is good at doing business deals. Now to the legality of those deals is another thing. The song seams to be applying the term a guy who is a playboy or even a player who has a lot of dealings with other people, men and women involving sex. But the video seams to be indicating that the smooth operator is an arms dealer who is doing business outside the rules of how he should be doing it.

💡 This is one of the few songs that Sade did not actually write herself. She has said that it’s one of her least favorites to perform because of that. However, she is listed as a cowriter because she’s a boss. Her bandmates give her full credit for writing most of their catalog, though she insists it’s collaborative.

~obligatory story every time I hear the word Sade~ I used to go to BBQs in Tacoma with my ex bestie's parents on Hilltop in the late 00's and they had a friend named Corinne who ALSO used to show up with her boyfriend at the time, a dude named Robert. Who happened to be incredibly tall, incredibly dark, and incredibly Sade's cousin. I remember that and he was quiet and nice? That's about all I remember ^_^' And that's the story of how I used to BBQ with Sade's cousin, lol.

Love Sade - So loved in the UK and this was played so much in the clubs and discos of the era! It's also a song I have covered when I gig - obviously not as good - but always a good reaction which is a testament to the original more than me, You need to look at Joan Armatrading and her iconic single love and affection kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZLKZHxqi7eLr68 She is still dropping songs - another UK artist held in love and affection by so many fans. Was lucky enough to see her supporting Supertramp in concert before she made it big with this single

No- don’t do that. She has never been called Helen. That is just her “first” name. She has always gone by Sade, which is an abbreviation of her middle name, which is Nigerian (Yoruban) Folasade. Sade explains this herself if you look it up.
