You are absolutely right!! I saw Sade many years ago at Symphony Hall in New Jersey. By far one of the BEST performances…and her band, Ooommmgg just as 🔥
Sade's voice is not only powerful, it is sultry, soulful,sensual and intoxicating. I could listen to her all day long...which I have many of times. She is one of a kind. Nobody has a voice like hers. Take a deep dive into her first and second album Diamond life and Promise. Then you'll understand just how amazing and hypnotizing her music is. Btw....this live version sounds almost identical as the studio version!
I'm an old metal head, I have Sade's greatest hits. It's excellent to chill around the house with. Ordinary love, Smooth Operator. Are a couple of her hits.
Sade is a whole vibe in and of herself. I've been in love with her music since she first came out until today. Go down that rabbit hole and you'll never come back!!!! Check out Smooth Operator too (actually all of her music. She's never made a bad song).
Sade is definitely one of the best female vocalists of all time. & the eighties early nineties with her jazzy euro kind of musical flavor hard to explain She's a one of a kind artist. This song ( is it a crime) is a masterpiece
Boo boo, it would appear that you have, at last, been introduced to classy and incomparable Sade ... Happy trails cuz she has so much more to offer for your listening enjoyment!
Sade's band is truly exceptional, delivering live performances that rival their studio recordings. The concert I attended in 2011 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas was an unforgettable experience; it was so moving that I found myself overwhelmed with emotion several times.
Drake isn't in her class now someone like Stevie wonder yes she's a vocalist real musician so is Stevie wonder drake a rapper I bet her and and Teddy Pendergrass together Lenny Williams man that would be magical
Live Aid was such a huge event for my generation.....Check out Sting with just his guitar standing there performing in front of 100,000 souls at Live Aid (Over 1 billion around the planet watched on TV)...amazing performance. Love the channel
Sade is an ENTIRE vibe…they (it’s her name but, also the name of the band) dropped album after album of gems. Their music takes you some place deep in your feelings…it is definitely grown and sexy…and so much more. Reactions or just for yourself…that’s a rabbit hole you need to go down.
I love Sade (shar-day)! The band and the vocalist share the same name! She is a legendary British songstress from the eighties! She always had that beautiful voice and cool jazzy sound. I love this clip which is from Saturday, July 13, 1985, the amazing Live Aid concert! That was a magically concert to help famine in Africa and it was broadcast from London and Philadelphia Live across the globe. It was a magical day...I remember it well!! You will love the studio version of the sound!! 💖💖
In 1984, the world of adult contemporary music was sooo ready for something different. Then, almost simultaneously, we got Sade...AND, Anita Baker. Two uniquely different, yet sublimely similar artists. At the time, there was NOTHING on the music scene like either of them. But two years later?...EVERYONE was trying to replicate what they brought: Style; Elegance; Charm; Class. Qualities that these women brought to the music industry--and graciously laid them at our feet. And, they did it in such an unforgettable way that now "our children" honor & revere them, forty years after their arrival on the music scene. The moral of the story?: -be different -be true -be classy -be respectful -be yourself ...and your audience will find you. Because whether they realize it or not--they are in need of what you have to offer.
Live Aid was a multi-venue concert and had one of the largest satellite link-ups and television broadcasts of all time; an estimated audience of 1.9 billion, in 150 nations, watched the live broadcast, nearly 40 percent of the world population.
only one sade she is still so beautiful and i have been a fan since 1985 her voice is amazing it sad there no one like her for this generation the artists and music was amazing the 80's to me here.
Sade - no words needed. She is in her own sphere. No one ever comes close - and really no one even tries. Some get lucky to come close to Adele or to Amy Winehouse. To my opinion no one managed to come close to Whitney Houston. And so is Sade.
Sade can put on a live performance worth anything it takes to see. She is also constantly giving praise to her band. Lately my favorite Sade live performance is of William DeVaughn's "Be Thankful For What You've Got".
This live performance was at Live Aid in the UK. It was split between two staduims with about 150,000 people seeing it live and millions watching on TV.
She's an elegant lady of high morals ,sophistication style and classy Jay z an Drake isn't in her class of style she don't need their money I love that little classy lady makes me smile strong sister
Sade is my favorite artist to paint to. Sade doesn't need dancers or an elaborate stage, her voice and music speaks for itself. If Sade announced a tour today it will sell out in 1 day.
Ashley, her name is pronounced "sha-day", short "a" in the first syllable and long "a" in the second. Her birth name is Helen Folasade Adu. She is known professionally as Sade and that is also the name of the band.She is Nigerian nationality and her ethnicity is Nigerian-British. English band Sade have released six studio albums, one live album, two compilation albums, two extended plays, 23 singles, six video albums, 20 music videos, and have achieved four top 20 singles on the main chart of both the US and the UK. The name Sade represents the entire group, not just the singer herself. Following a record deal, Sade's debut album Diamond Life (1984) was released. At the time of release in 1984, the album sold over four million copies globally, and currently stands at six million copies globally. Following the release of their debut album, Sade went on to release a string of multi-platinum-selling albums. Their follow-up, Promise, was released in 1985 and peaked at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart and the UK Albums Chart, and went two times platinum in the US at the time of its release, and now stands at four times platinum. Singer Sade would later go on to make her acting debut in the film Absolute Beginners, before the release of the band's next album, Stronger Than Pride (1988). Subsequent albums included Love Deluxe (1992) and Lovers Rock (2000), all of which went multi-platinum in the US. After the release of Lovers Rock the band embarked on what would be a 10-year hiatus. The band later reunited and released their sixth album, Soldier of Love (2010), which has been certified platinum in the US and won a Grammy Award.
Her live performances sound exactly like the recorded versions. This video is from "Live Aid" a benefit concert in 1985. Live Aid eventually raised $127 million - around £105 million - in famine relief for African nations, and the publicity it generated encouraged Western nations to make available enough surplus grain to end the immediate hunger crisis in Africa. Bob Geldof was later knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for his efforts.
I was a backstage guard on a concert in the 80's for Sade - when she passed me to the stage I was impressed by her long nose. Still next to Barry White one of the best singers at that time - I love her "King of Sorrow".
This half British, half Nigerian queen is Helen Folasade Adu. Sade (Shar-day) for short. And as with Santana, Van Halen, and Robin Trower, the whole band adopted her name. The other members are Stuart Matthewman, Andrew Hale and Paul S. Denman. When they record and perform without her, they are known as Sweetback. This is a great performance but there is an even better one on line. Check out "Smooth Operator", "Sweetest Taboo" and "Nothing Can Come Between Us".
Sade is like gravity. It just takes one song and you just get pulled in. What an absolutely stunning woman!
Sade and her band gives one hell of a concert!!! I see them every time they come close to Philly. Smooth & sexy and captivating... 💯🔥🎶💖
her vocals and musicians are one of the best of our time.
You are absolutely right!! I saw Sade many years ago at Symphony Hall in New Jersey. By far one of the BEST performances…and her band, Ooommmgg just as 🔥
that band is also superb
Sade is like 65 now and can still sing like this. She is a totally classy woman. Loved her music since the 80's.
The studio recording is the 💣💣💣music, the vocals, and the vocal arrangements 🔥🔥🔥
Sade's voice is not only powerful, it is sultry, soulful,sensual and intoxicating. I could listen to her all day long...which I have many of times. She is one of a kind. Nobody has a voice like hers.
Take a deep dive into her first and second album Diamond life and Promise. Then you'll understand just how amazing and hypnotizing her music is.
Btw....this live version sounds almost identical as the studio version!
You will find that her studio and live versions are one in the same. Her band is supreme!!! Too many hits to mention. Perfection all the way. 💯
I'm an old metal head, I have Sade's greatest hits. It's excellent to chill around the house with. Ordinary love, Smooth Operator. Are a couple of her hits.
She did not miss!!!!!! What a blessing it is to listen to Sade serenade us
Her recorded version sounds exactly like her live version She sounds exactly the same
She’s the GOAT! The Greatest in my eyes.
yea no studio singer here
Fall in love every time I see or hear her.
Superstar!
Ashley, you have now been Saded😅😅 once you hear her voice, you’ll keep wanting more. 😊
Sade is a whole vibe in and of herself. I've been in love with her music since she first came out until today. Go down that rabbit hole and you'll never come back!!!! Check out Smooth Operator too (actually all of her music. She's never made a bad song).
YOUR LOVE IS KING is my number one favorite. I love Sade .
She is an amazing artist! HER VOICE IS RASPY AND BEAUTIFUL!
Hopefully she will headed to THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME!
GREAT REACTION ASHLEY!
❤😎
❤
Sade is definitely one of the best female vocalists of all time. & the eighties early nineties with her jazzy euro kind of musical flavor hard to explain She's a one of a kind artist. This song ( is it a crime) is a masterpiece
Any artist who can take a decade off and return as if she never left lets you know how great her music still.
Very jazzy with the sax. Love Sade. The performance hit it out of the ballpark.
Boo boo, it would appear that you have, at last, been introduced to classy and incomparable Sade ... Happy trails cuz she has so much more to offer for your listening enjoyment!
Sade's band is truly exceptional, delivering live performances that rival their studio recordings. The concert I attended in 2011 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas was an unforgettable experience; it was so moving that I found myself overwhelmed with emotion several times.
The QUEEN OF SMOOTH ❤👏🏽👏🏽
SADE - no words 👌🏼🔥🔥 Drake was obsessed…. begged to do a duet, she politely turned him down.
Glad... 🤢🤮
Because he can't sing. 😅
It didn't happen 'cause
Kendrick said:
"WOP WOP WOP
Boy, shut yo' ass up!"
THANK GOD !
Drake isn't in her class now someone like Stevie wonder yes she's a vocalist real musician so is Stevie wonder drake a rapper I bet her and and Teddy Pendergrass together Lenny Williams man that would be magical
1985 was a HUGE musical all-star benefit year between "We are the World" and "Live Aid". I grew up in the 80s so I remember it vividly 😎
Along with her beautifully unique voice, Sade exudes class, grace, and soul.
Hehe.. every version of this song she sang is a 'masterpiece'. She and the band always changes things up.
Sade is an icon!!!!
I’ve always loved Sade’s voice paired with her Caribbean/Jazz style music …Paradise …The Sweetest Taboo …Haunt Me 🎵
The LEGENDARY Iconic Ms Sade Adu ❤

Sade - no words needed. She is in her own sphere. No one ever comes close - and really no one even tries. Some get lucky to come close to Adele or to Amy Winehouse. To my opinion no one managed to come close to Whitney Houston. And so is Sade.
Go down that rabbit hole, you'll discover many hits along with her unique style.

Sade can put on a live performance worth anything it takes to see.
She is also constantly giving praise to her band.

Sade is my favorite artist to paint to. Sade doesn't need dancers or an elaborate stage, her voice and music speaks for itself. If Sade announced a tour today it will sell out in 1 day.
Sade started out as a fashion designer she fell into music scene on a fluc.
Helen Folasade Adu BKA SADE a legend in her own time!

72,000 people were at Live Aid if I'm not mistaken!
Ashley can you react to Maurice White i need you. He was the founder of earth wind and fire. Very beautiful song. Might make some tears come.
Sade is a goat def an OG
Side note the band is actually called Sadé. Her name is Helen Folasade Adu…
She had so much talent. Unlike today she could sing with her clothes on.
This half British, half Nigerian queen is Helen Folasade Adu. Sade (Shar-day) for short. And as with Santana, Van Halen, and Robin Trower, the whole band adopted her name.

They wonder why we're not buying the new music..............
Check out her song Kiss Of Life
Wait, this is the 1st time you heard Helen? Oh my! She's been my crush since 85'
