Sade - Smooth Operator - REACTION! How did he pull SADE & The Hostess!?

[@ginalolajupiter2942]

Her voice is like warm caramel in my ear. Nothing but class and talent.

[@looneygardener]

Perfect description!

[@matthea5362]

Oh boy, check out "The Sweetest Taboo". The quintessence of female elegance, beauty and charm. As a woman myself she inspired me.

[@kenneth2875]

Wikipedia-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 Adu sings near the end, "his heart is cold".

[@lunadyana3330]

So, basically, a high end pimp

No he's just a Gigolo. He is the one going Coast-to-Coast with his love for sale he's a smooth operator

[@Tread1775]

Classic soft feminine voice, with complimentary lyrics and instrument arrangements. Kinda reminds me of how the Beatles intentionally constructed their songs to highlight their individual strengths into a cohesive unit.✌️

[@MamawT65]

She is so classy! No nudity just class! Love the reaction ❤

[@deshaunx776]

Is nudity automatically unclassy? Sade wears makeup and form fitting outfits that are sometimes quite revealing. The class is in how she carries herself.

[@ractmo]

[@kevinsears7382]

Sade’s live performances are amazing. Her band is top tier and engages is some phenomenal instrumental jam sessions. Sade always commands the stage and keeps the vibe in its tracks.

[@annephillips8494]

You can't go wrong with Sade, she was massive.'No Ordinary Love's, Your Love Is King', so many to name but two.

[@fayesouthall6604]

Your Love is King is probably my favourite of theirs

[@samsonjpedroza]

legendary vocalist and performer ! no bad songs ... this lady is angelic !!! Fan since the 80's !

[@ChrisEchoes]

But more remarkable is the fact that Sade is in fact a band. Record company wanted to sign just her but she insisted that it only would happen if they were signed as a band, and so it happened. Band has been together ever since and lineup has been unchanged ever since.

This is the correct list 💯

[@Bumperump]

In concerts Sade always performed barefoot, she's totally awesome and amazing!! She's British, now lives away from the limelight and has lived in Jamaica for a number of years now. She was born in Nigeria to an English mother & Nigerian father (parents had met in England), they moved (back) to England when Sade was about 4 or 5 yrs old.

Sade is the name of the band

[@noother964]

@@jonibz1456 She's known professionally as Sade or Sade Adu (since... it's her name).

[@twofarg0ne763]

Not only was she a singer, she was also one of the top runway models and fashion designers in the 80's. A voice like liquid velvet.

[@ChrisEchoes]

What a lot of people don’t realize is that although Sade Adu is the lead vocalist, Sade is in fact a band of which she is a member together with their guitar / sax player, keyboard player and bass player. They were already a band before she joined them, record company only wanted to sign her but she insisted it only to would happen if they were signed as a band (they write songs together so that made sense). And to this day the line up is unchanged. Now that is staying true to yourself and being loyal to each other.

[@deshaunx776]

Close but not exactly. Sade Adu, Stewart Matthewman (guitar/sax) and Paul Denman (Bass) were ALL members of the band Pride. The band Sade debuted in 1982 and Andrew Hale (keyboards) joined in 1983. Sade Adu is the lead vocalist AND lead songwriter as she typically comes up with the melodies and lyrics. When the band writes and performs without her, they are called Sweetback.

[@christopherone1]

ah, no! and people don't 'realize this' bc what you said isn't even factual. Everyone knows who Sade is, bwhahahha

[@ChrisEchoes]

@@christopherone1 you are exactly proving my point. Please read up on the history of Sade ... go check out their wikipedia page and you will see.

[@OldGoat-cw8he]

Sade's greatest hits album is a must have. The entire thing is just classic.

[@AppalachiaRRlover]

She’s got a bunch of hits including Jezabel, Your love is king, No ordinary love ( my personal favorite),The sweetest taboo, Kiss of life, among many others

[@NoNameNoFace-rr7li]

Sade sings "sharp" which is what makes her so unique. Similar to Astrid Gilberto she has this beautiful exotic jazz vibe that will be listened too for 100 years.

[@jojones1082]

Sade is a true queen, and yes, there are many bangers of hers that you need to experience!

[@Trac489]

I love Sade, she is just gorgeous and her voice

[@jonibz1456]

[@TheDivayenta]

“ Is It A Crime?” video and song is fantastic by Sade. Everything she does with that killer band of hers is amazing. ❤ The man in this is a gigolo. Sade is Nigerian/British.

[@mledbetter]

My absolute favorite!

[@tomsilk1235]

I don’t know that there has ever been a more sensual artist than Sade. The vibes are you’re on a beach. I still listen to her today and will play it when I have a ”friend” over that I believe could also feel the vibe. If she doesn’t feel it? She gone 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@zivo24]

I remember reading an article a few years ago - I think it was in Rolling Stone that told the story of how when she released the album, ‘Lover’s Rock’, in 2000, it had been 8 years since her last album. It immediately hit the top of the sales charts just on name recognition alone, not on radio play of any of its singles. It noted how incredibly unusual it was for any artist to disappear from the scene for years and then release a new album and have it fly off the racks just based on the reputation of the artist. As many have noted….a lot of children have been conceived to the sound of Sade’s music.

[@jayeisenhardt1337]

Sounds wild but too believable for her. I'm gonna grab lucky 7 off a playlist to hit the right spot, cuz I know they just will. . . is it a crime, the sweetest taboo cherish the day, no ordinary love hang on to your love, paradise love is stronger than pride Are these from the same album?? They all work for me but I don't know if these are some of her older stuff.

[@jennifermcdonald5432]

She is so smooth, honey in your ear! An amazingly beautiful classy woman, with so much talent it just pours out of her!

[@melanieze603]

Voice like melted chocolate fantastic British singer Paradise No ordinary love and Sweetest Taboo

[@CazkiwiNZ]

1987, 12 years old, trip to Sydney from New Zealand and I bought my first small “boom box” tape deck with my very own money…. And this was the second song I taped off the radio (the first was Pet Shop Boys It’s a Sin), these songs remind me of that time from the first note to the end 🫶 It wasn’t a particularly happy time of my life, but I love these songs)

Sade definitely one of my faves. You'll want to check out her other huge hit The Sweetest Taboo

When this was released all summer bars in Greece played to the death.

[@MithrilMagic]

I love Sade! My husband and I will be married 18 years in October. Our “first dance” at our wedding was Sade’s “Cherish the Day” and we had that phrase engraved inside of our wedding bands with our anniversary date. She is so great. I just love her music so much!

[@GinaGeeILuvu]

Sade is a British band and lead singer Sade Adu is a British artist! This was Sade’s first big hit in states! Sade has so many hits, like, Sweetest Taboo, Kiss of Life, No Ordinary Love, Cherish The Day, Is it A Crime, and more! Check them out! She is legendary and her music is truly timeless with that beautiful voice and soulful jazzy sound!❤❤

[@Songbird-59]

I remember when this album came out. Sade was everywhere. What a voice. So smooth, sexy, elegant. All of her music is just magnificent.

[@TheColdrush22]

Sade is one of the absolute best artists of all time. Hated her music when I was a kid, but holy moly, every album is incredible. Diamond Life is the name of this album (her first). Still, I was always a clumsy operator. LOL. I am begging you to do something that isn't super popular but that I think you would love, and that I want others to experience before he is forgotten. Terence Trent D'Arby Holding Onto You Live in London. Everyone will want you to watch some of his hits which are fine, but are watered down and subdued. This performance is one of the best you will ever see. I am putting a link in a reply to this comment (because I never know how links work on YT)

[@LibraALLWoman]

Bkack Pegasus, When I was in High school, my best friend (at the time), two of her male cousins, and I would hang out at her house while listening to Sade's second album, "Promise", when it was released. We listened to that album, practically, every, single, day. I believe it was hers. It was, so, wonderful and unique, that she had to share the beauty of it all. We never spoke while the album played. That was a precious time between the four of us. Please, believe me when I state that from the debut album to her most recent, you WILL NOT be sorry. Here is a list of her albums in order. 1. Diamond life 2. Promise 3. StrongerThan Pride 4. Love Deluxe 5. Soldier of Love Please, avoid her music videos and the greatest hits album because she has many more album gems than commercial releases. Sade has so few albums because she would release them every 5 to 10 years. However, each album was ,so, outstanding that it would carry us through until the next masterpiece would be released. I reiterate that Sade's music is, most definitely, worth your time and attention.
