I was digging Sade's music before I could even understand it...... comprehension came with age and my appreciation grew that much more........a timeless siren
I found this song on vinyl among my uncle's collection. i especially love how she controls her voice at 2.30 - 2.32, that note is sublime... Sade...she just makes me stop in my tracks to listen, whenever she is on
I love youtube so much because it joins people feelings in every part of this world, I'm cuban and I've been under cuban's regime for a long time, no access to Internet, no access to the outside world at all now that I'm living outside Cuba I want to believe that the world is not that ugly as Castro used to say, there are a lot of people sharing same feeling like hope, happiness, sadness, that's what I'm feeling right now listening this song :) love SADE
SADE, your songs are so full of meaning. I will never tire of listening to them. How i wish that we could talk sometime , i want to know what's on your mind, and what you have to say about the world now, . . a world that has lost so much love and beautiful songs . . so much war, hate and sadness. . .
I have been a fan of this beautiful, talented and gifted artist since she first came on the scene. Sade is a timeless artist and she sings so effortlessly. Still going strong after all these years.
O.M.G.! Sade, hail to da queen of sultry, smooth vocals. Her voice resonates and soothes my spirit. This song is the ultimate! For years to enjoy! Thanks for posting this on you-tube, I will visit this religiously.
I am not surprised or upset about it, but I have to be careful listening to this song - or any Sade LP - as I run the risk of having it stuck in my head for maybe weeks! This song and Jezebel in particular. I guess it is too late now - I might as well embrace the insanity. Sade, you have had your hooks in my for 30 years now. Thank you - G$
i will never forget first time i listened to this record and song my jaw dropped..that good itwas and still is..just phenomenal produced and feeling with her uniqe voice in prime!
SEL500...way to represent it baby! Good job to you! Thanks! I agree Sade is the epicenter for all things fabulous when it comes to music. I have been a loyal fan since I was 10! (that was 1984) :)
When I was a kid I thought she was singing “ Frankie Just a friend”… 😂I was so little then I didn’t even know what an affair was lol 😆 love this song was always one of my favorite songs in her whole collection!
She is the best!!! I still kick myself in the back side for not going to see her in concert. It was either see her or play softball. We lost anyways. THis was 20 years ago.
My man Frankie B..(aka)of Maze)really done a number on her hart it took her a long time to get over that ,it took her to a dark place I'm so glad she was able to recover,because I've been there myself.l love everything she does.
Omg! I love Sade, but this Song I so LOVE it with a passion. I use to listen to this song when I was a young child in the early 90's. Now, I continue to listen to this amazing song but now the lyrics are so much impact-full than before because I have come across a so called Frankie that took my heart. But, it also gave me an understanding of what it feels to love. . . . .
i have to get all of her cd's now, i bought the best of sade off of amazon and lovers rock...i felt bad for downloading Promise but im gonna get the cd and her whole collection very soon i love her music and im just 23..she was soo before her time its crazy, its 2010 and her albums blow anything thing thats out now out of the water!
Someone said it best. I loved Sade’s music even before understanding the meaning of the lyrics. With understanding now her music is a beautiful stimulative of calm and enjoyment ❤❤
Music of: "Sade - Frankie's First Affair" - Developing a good singing voice in her teens, Sade worked part-time jobs in and outside of the music business. She listened to Ray Charles, Nina Simone, Al Green, Aretha Franklin, and Billie Holliday. Sade studied fashion design at St. Martin's School of Art in London while also doing some modeling on the side.
My first love was a ladies man.. He used to cheat on me a lot.. I loved him with my heart mind body and soul.. I would play this song 4 him when I was angry... We would fight and argue but we loved each other to death... Sadly he died in Madison county jail in Mississippi.... They ruled his death as a suicide... Till this day I listen and cry for him every once in a while.... I feel I'm the reason he is gone... Lord help me....
I only heard this cut when I listened to the diamond life album.i am floored that this song never hit the radio.it would have been even bigger a bit than smooth operator.the music itself is worth listening for but the song is so powerful and sultry just like Sade

I love her to so much
Same. She’s amazing
Damn brought back happy memories from college days in the 80s wow 🖤🎶

Of her most underrated song. Love this song
This hits real different when you find out you're *Frankie* after your *first affair.*
Did the lions come for the kill?
THE WHOLE BAND IS SOLID,THEY CREATE MUSIC
WHICH IS TIMELESS!
Definitely. Definitely
In my humble opinion this song is the best thing which Sade ever recorded! Amazing tune. It's very underrated track.

there is a delicious huskiness to her voice, which is very noticeable in this song. It sends shivers down my spine.

+TIPDOG Yep those two songs are her best according to me too. They tell a story.

First time hearing this tune of hers...And your right,I’ve been humming all day in my head...Love it.
'didn't i tell you you've got the world in my palm of your hand' such a beautiful lyric............
the memories of my childhood! Was so young when this came out, she is so unique & no one touches her voice or style!
My pops put me on Sade when I was like 5 or 6 (early 90s). Man!!! I been loving this woman and the music ever since!
My moms put me on bro
My dad did the same
This woman is amazing!
What a smoothness in her voice. Superb band as well
Sing it.. Sing it.. Baby.. Wow... You just feel the song...
Diamond Life Album made my heart love SADE music..
smooth as silk!
Best Sade's song ever
My girl Sade. It's funny that the songs that I really LOVE by her weren't singles, this being one of them.
i will never forget first time i listened to this record and song my jaw dropped..that good itwas and still is..just phenomenal produced and feeling with her uniqe voice in prime!
Best artist of all time still 😍
I agree for sure
This one of my favorite songs and I would love for Estelle, to perform it her voice matches this tempo 2019.
Sade is the greatest everyone should have one of her albums
Sade = Smooth + Classy. Never been another artist quite like her. She lives in her own musical universe. Galatians 6:9
Never stop Sade, keep going we miss your music. Much love David Felix from DC
My wife

Seems like frankies first affair might just be the last she cried out this message.
Beautiful piece
Exactly!! He was in too deep
she has a great sax player
Stuart Matthewman is Sade's sax player --- Cheers :)!!!
Her band released a solo album in 1996. They went by "Sweetback". Loy
