@UCNo0ZcBcAmycm4F3of7gUPg I still remember hearing "Hang On To Your Love" when I was in my early 20's. I ran out and bought The "Album". She was the biggest Jazz Sensation since Billie Holiday and she won The Grammy for Best New Artist. In future years alot of UK Artists have had Band Members like these Fellows. The Late Sharon Jones, James Hunter and even Girls Aloud when they did "The Promise."
I was a teenager when Sade was popular, always loved her elegant and natural poise. Like a goddess. The jazz elements in her voice, the warm tone, the floating gorgeousness of sound when she sings. A+++. That is natural talent, not learned, not studio created. Not many people realize that Sade is Nigerian and moved to the UK as a child. She is fabulous.
Sade was the soundtrack of my younger days....It's magnificent.....No other band comes remotely close....Finally saw her in concert many years ago...she is the prettiest female of the human species....STUNNING!!!! from a white southern boy.
Sade has so many great songs,They all are beautiful. I even like 'Jezabel".Her voice is mesmarizing,sooooo soothing. When she performs ,barefoot and dances effortlessly across the stage you want her to go on forever.
I used to dj in a tiny little coffee house/nightclub and I used to come in early and play warm up for fun ahead of my scheduled sets. Once I played Kiss of Life and this young woman came on the dark empty dance floor and danced seductively for the entire song. I put the lights on for her. For me, one of those unforgettable human moments.
Sade is on a different level, check out ‘Please send me someone to love’, ‘Your love is king’, ‘Is it a crime’, ‘No ordinary love’, ‘Kiss of life’ and ‘By your side’ 👍🏻
Sade is one of the most idiosyncratic and instantly recognisable singers of recent times. A shout out and CONGRATULATIONS for another, Joan Amratrading, the Caribbean diva of blues who was honoured by the Queen this week. She was a mentor of Sade's.
Hi from the UK, Sade was one of the beautiful, people of that era" this is from a lady who appreciates that we are all not beautiful, " and her voice so smooth and sexy, 🤩🤩🤩🤩 .
I remember seeing this video at around nine years old...as soon as I saw her shimmy across the floor in those jeans I fell in love forever... She is still my number one... I have yet to see another woman with her style and class and voice...that combo is deadly.
She's not only good singer, got to check out this song her performing on stage 2011 "sweetest taboo" she was dancing around barefoot girl got it going on, she's half Nigerian half english online said she's a gma this year from her son.
You can’t get enough Sade and neither can I. Excellent reaction to this classic. I’ve seen her perform live twice in Nashville years ago. She in a class all her own. ❤
Sade and Me'shell Ndgeocello are musicians, not just singers. Sade made some fantastic business decisions and brings out albums every decade or so, which keeps the public wanting more. I've been following her since the 80s. She and Me'shell are my two favourite artists.
First learned of Sade from movie Blame it on Rio, which is a must watch...anyways she sings Smooth Operator in one scene and I immediately loved her voice.
The videos for Smooth Operator, Sweetest Taboo and Is it a Crime are a continuing saga so that is why the same guy is in all three videos. You have to check out Is it a Crime next to get the whole story, plus the song is a musical masterpiece.
What I love about her is that she doesn't even need to show her body or look and sound vulgar to have men and some women ( me included and I'm straight) hypnotized
Sade took the world by storm with her first hit record. I remember watching it on MTV (when MTV really WAS MTV back in the day). Wow! Her style and voice was unlike anything we had heard before and she became an instant smash star! So many good memories. Wonderful memories. Very happy you have found Sade.
I remember exactly where i was the first time i heard her. 1984, working in a hospital warehouse and smooth operator came on the radio. We all stopped working. We never heard anything like it. 👍
I was a teenager when Sade came out with this song and I remember how she was criticised for her style of singing. People would say that it wasn't melodic enough and hardly lived up to the standard of the music surrounding her voice. She kept pointing out how difficult it was to sing in such a reduced way and that there was a lot of art to it. From your take on her music I can see that times really have changed, particularly for female singers as they are no longer expected to sound girlie girlie. They can if they want to, but they can also be very grown up and mature in their way of singing these days. I loved Sade's voice as a teenager because it was so different and I love it now because it's so refined and free of all stereotypical singing. It just is. And she will always be - Sade. One of a kind.
I'm curious why you couldn't stand her before? Funny how some artists are perceived differently from person to person. I've loved her and her band since I first heard them in the early 80's. Have seen her live a few times and she's amazing.
@@nickywarren8002 I can see that as our tastes in a lot of things change as we get older. I would suggest checking out more of her work, especially some live concerts. She and her band are so tight live. I've seen a lot of concerts and I'd put them right at the top.
Why though? I mean i understand if het style of music is not your cup of tea. But she's so chill what's about her that made you can't stand her? 😄 She's one of those performer that look like they doesn't care if nobody listen to them
Jay , Sade has one of those voices like velvet , she can make even a rainy day have sunshine ... loved her songs since the 80’s .. for a treat check out the live version from Sam Diego of this song , I promise you will not be disappointed
I have always said if I could look and sing like anyone it would be her. The good news is she has a HUGE body of work and you literally can't find a bad one or even a "just okay" one! Only thing is, my personal preference is to always watch her live. If you think these official videos are sexy, well honestly nothing is as sexy as seeing her live. But again, you can't go wrong whichever way you chose! She has been my girl crush forever!
I fell in love with Sade when I was 14 years old when this video came out. I'll be 50 in November and I'm still in love with her. You should watch a love performance. One of her dressed in all white dress.
brotha i've been in love with Sade for years (like 25) and it made me laugh and smile your reaction at the very beginning. the rain comes in, she hits a few notes and all the sudden YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS! Momma is home and she is in TOTAL control, yes lawd. nice video, thank you man.
sooooo funny when this video came out (MTV produced) NOONE had heard anything like her! ..did not know she existed..........this CHANGED QUICK! SADE still rocks out today. I have never been to see her live but I have seen enough TH-cam to know that she is BETTER LIVE!! = TRUE artist! LOVE HER
Great reaction for one of the best female singers ever! More of her songs to checkout are “Cherish the Day”, “Hang on to Your Love”, “Never as Good as the First Time” and “Maureen”, which is a musical tribute to a friend of hers who died. Sounds sad but she does it so tastefully it makes a great tribute to her.
"NEVER AS GOOD AS THE FIRST TIME"; "IS IT A CRIME" & this song are my favorite songs by her. Even though its a really hard decision to pick one from her catalogue.
Love,love,love, her!!! Nothing or No one compares!!! And she's absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! She's a mood by herself!!! Would be a all time high to see her live in concert!!!
Jay, this was one of the few top favorite songs when I was high school in the 80s and I was so attracted to Sade. This song and video will never get old to me. It’s timeless!
Her music is called "smooth jazz" that's why you don't hear it on a lot a radio stations. You will also never hear another voice like hers, it is one of a kind and instantly recognizable. So you know she's probably about 60 yrs old now and takes very long breaks between making music. She's been married twice but divorced twice too. If you like older women you might have a chance.
keep up the great reactions brother!.sade cherish the day or is it a crime are a must in her body of work.one classy lady,which comes through in her classy music as well.she is unique been listening to her since 1984 still never tire.
I watched Sade and her band in concert in Sydney. Stripped bare stage, just super talented musicians and the soulful sultry voice of Sade - zero fills. Entranced the whole time.
Sade operates in a lane all by herself........and absolutely owns it.
Well put ....
That's the truth!!
That's so true
💯.
If sensuality had a voice it would sound like SADE...
SHE'S THE TRUTH...
Nicely said! 👍👍👍💖
YASSSS! You nailed it!!
Sade= Class act,,,she could teach a lot of these young "singers" how to do things right...her music is timeless
Yeah she could teach them how to sing!
She's like the female Marvin Gaye = Sexy mood music.
Excellent description!!! 👍👍👍💖💖
she is the female barry white lol, i wonder how many babies have been made listening to her music lol
Na that's hitting the nail on the head DAM!
💯.
Gotta hear "Is it a crime" to get her vocal range. Such a good song.
Is it a Crime is my favorite Sade song....so incredible
I agree!!!!!
The live version too
The live versionnn
You're exactly right...but this is pure "smooveness" 😉😎
Try - Your Love is King, Is It a Crime, By Your Side.
A song that’s impossible not too like. Sade does her thing, and does it brilliantly.

Definitely a 100% Nigerian ... well maybe 30%, lol.
@@ckobo84 😂
@Lexine Bate and her real name is helen folasade adu, and an absolute beauty
Why did I think she was Caribbean ?
Right with you man, she was and still is..something else
Sade, hit after hit. The world was always waiting for her next CD. Not just one song, the whole CD.
Facts.
Take. All. Of. My. Money. Sade!!!! I own every album.
@@godivadark
Same here.
the image of sade singing behind the window while it rains is one of the most iconic images of the 80s
Oh you forgot her photo where she's resting her face on her hand with leather glove. That one decorated the wall of hair saloon all over the world.
@@arapaimagold8088 nice one
We all are lost in her voice. The same main musicians have been with her from the start and they are still playing occasionally. World class
She is absolutely beautiful as a singer and as a person. Always have loved Sade
She’s amazing!
There’s no one like her. There is a uniqueness to her style.
It never gets old.
Her music and her style are timeless.
amazing choice! She's so smooooth... we grew up listening to her at midnight in the 80's
Next should be "Is it a crime", "Your love is king" and "Love is stronger than pride".
Stunning beauty with a voice of an angel, her band is simply superb too. She is unique in every way
I love your handle, mate!!! 👍👍👍💖

Sade has so many great songs,They all are beautiful.
I even like 'Jezabel".Her voice is mesmarizing,sooooo soothing.
When she performs ,barefoot and dances effortlessly across the stage you want her to go on forever.
Jezebel is one of the saddest songs ever, but still utterly beautiful.
Barefoot is sexy!
Her music during the 80's...... a chilled dark club, whisky and champagne, cigars, that jazz atmosphere.
Loved it....
“Kiss of Life” is one of my favorites by her. Her voice is just so smooth
Definitely in my top three by her!!
Yep, absolutely 👍🏻
I used to dj in a tiny little coffee house/nightclub and I used to come in early and play warm up for fun ahead of my scheduled sets. Once I played Kiss of Life and this young woman came on the dark empty dance floor and danced seductively for the entire song. I put the lights on for her. For me, one of those unforgettable human moments.
Sade - Is it a crime. How can vocals be so powerful yet so silky smooth? My fave.😀
IF this song is not sexy, there is no such thing as sexy music. Smoking hot.
I hope you do her song “Paradise” it completely takes you away...magical. Instantly transports you to the beach at sunset far, far away. :)
Yeah. That one is my favorite
totally agree.... thats one of my all time faves from her
I played her cassette tapes constantly in high school then played her CDs constantly now I listen to her constantly streaming😄❤
Sade is on a different level, check out ‘Please send me someone to love’, ‘Your love is king’, ‘Is it a crime’, ‘No ordinary love’, ‘Kiss of life’ and ‘By your side’ 👍🏻
You can try her newer albums too. Everything she does is magic. She's THE artist.
Anything Sade sings sounds amazing, she's such a beauty!
"Sharday" or Sade is magnetic smooth jazz. Her live videos are amazing. "Paradise " "No Ordinary Love" live . Incredible
Oh yes, love the way she sings. I grew up with her songs in Nigeria. Can still remember my aunties dancing to her songs.
Sade is one of the most idiosyncratic and instantly recognisable singers of recent times. A shout out and CONGRATULATIONS for another, Joan Amratrading, the Caribbean diva of blues who was honoured by the Queen this week. She was a mentor of Sade's.

Sade a product of the 80s and classic example of why the 80s had the best music ever.
She's not only good singer, got to check out this song her performing on stage 2011 "sweetest taboo" she was dancing around barefoot girl got it going on, she's half Nigerian half english online said she's a gma this year from her son.
I always say, when I get to heaven I'll be able to sing, and I'll sound like Sade!
Her voice mimics the sax which gives her that unique and quality sound. Unmistakable ❤️
You can’t get enough Sade and neither can I. Excellent reaction to this classic. I’ve seen her perform live twice in Nashville years ago. She in a class all her own. ❤
She is one of my favorite singers of all time. Love every album she has ever made. This song always takes me back to a good place and time in my life.
Even the songs that they never played on the radio and her way less known songs are amazing!
You have to see her in concert. Her band is AMAZING. They are AWESOME together.
Sade light up your face. I have loved her music for ages. Timeless.
Her voice is like a medicine for all humanity...and I'm not exeggerating...she makes me feel better ..!!
One of the most amazing singers....pure raw talent
SADE her voice with those eyes when I was growing up in the 80's. One of a kind.
This was my favorite! Sade song growing up in the 80s on those summer nights. #80sforlife 🔥🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤❤
Women, men, aliens...we ALL fell in love with Sade, her sensuous style, her sultry voice, her talent, her humble manner, her soul...💓💓💓💓💓💓
Totally agree . She owns the stage and she doesn't need to be outward about it . Her stage presence is magnificent
She's the definition of smooth.
her band is absolutely fantastic. they are as good as she is beautiful. ive got to see her live...❤🔥
She was one of my true muscial crushes. Thanks for reminding me how soothing her voice can be. I will listen more.

This is the first song of hers that I ever heard. Try listening to the song while you're alone in the dark.
She is an artist.
First learned of Sade from movie Blame it on Rio, which is a must watch...anyways she sings Smooth Operator in one scene and I immediately loved her voice.
Iconic artist, iconic song. To think the song is already 37 years old, it feels like it was released not so long ago.
Every song of Sade is a gem. But don't forget one of her most recent - Love is Found. She shows she's still got it going on big time!
The videos for Smooth Operator, Sweetest Taboo and Is it a Crime are a continuing saga so that is why the same guy is in all three videos. You have to check out Is it a Crime next to get the whole story, plus the song is a musical masterpiece.
Just love her music and her soothing voice, Sade is so amazing. Thanks Javon for your reaction!
She is pure class, pure talent - no wonder JayVee is reacting like that. I think it's love! ; )
What I love about her is that she doesn't even need to show her body or look and sound vulgar to have men and some women ( me included and I'm straight) hypnotized
One of a kind! Check out her song “Paradise”!

I'm glad your doing sade songs she is incredible what a voice her music is timeless!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩❤❤❤❤❤💯
My favourite Sade song, her voice is just magical.

Classy, timeless and beautiful. Just like the lady herself.
Sade is my go-to artist after a stressful day ... turn it on for the drive home and time jusst floes by ... Love "Cherish the Day"
Seen her in 1985 in Munich Germany what a show she is one of the few artists that never put out a sorry album or song loving it.
Love Sade her songs are timeless. 💕🎶🎶

Haven't listened to this great singer for a while, gonna do something about that! 😄
Sade is one of favorite artist. Listen to" Paradise" too. She have so many hits, I just love her music 🎶.
The "Is it a crime" video directly follows this, basically telling the rest, more wretched part of the story.

Love Sade. Interesting point: Sade is the English band, formed in London in 1982 and named after their lead singer, Sade Adu.
Young man I suggest you check out their entire catalog.
keep up the great reactions brother!.sade cherish the day or is it a crime are a must in her body of work.one classy lady,which comes through in her classy music as well.she is unique been listening to her since 1984 still never tire.
Your Channel is such a joy to watch, you have such a beautiful spirit about you, that’s what brings people hear, and the love you have for music 🎶💃
I watched Sade and her band in concert in Sydney. Stripped bare stage, just super talented musicians and the soulful sultry voice of Sade - zero fills. Entranced the whole time.
