Love Sade! My faves songs from her have to be "Sweetest Taboo", "Love Is Stronger Than Pride", "Hang On To Your Love", "Paradise", "Your Love Is King", "Nothing Can Come Between Us", "No Ordinary Love", "Smooth Operator", "Is It A Crime", "Never As Good As The First Time", "By Your Side" and much more.

All her albums, the only artist whom I can listen to ALL her albums STRAIGHT THROUGH NO INTERRUPTION!!!!

THE ONLY ARTIST EVER!!!!!

Who can beat "Your Love Is King" and "Hang on To Your Love"...? But my shit off the "Diamond Life" album is "Sally"....whew when that woman sangs her heels off on that track!!!

The best song hands down off the "Lover's Rock" album is "Somebody Already Broke My Heart".....

her music has gotten me through some breakups for real. she knew how I was feeling.

And hands down, can't nobody tell me "Bullet Proof Soul" is like the most funkiest semi-slow song ever.....

Like Santana

I love Sade, but its definitely music for a certain mood

My fave album would have to be Promise with Is It a Crime being the story of my sad, pathetic life

thekidsgirl said:

Exactly!!!

Oh my god, ya'll gonna make me pull out her albums tonight!!!

or like Labelle

These two are tied at 1st for being my favorites. "Keep Looking" is a really good driving song. It's stood the test of time too. My mom used to play Sade while driving.

Go ahead, laugh at my misery!

funkpill said:

...well, does that one really count? Since Patti kinda named herself after the band?

thekidsgirl said:

wait, that's not her real name?

sosgemini said:

OMG! I feel like I'm about to tell you that Santas not real!
ummm, pretend I never said anything!!!

sosgemini said:

The group went from Patti Labelle And The Bluebelles





To Labelle

But Patti wasn't born a Labelle, I figured that would make it kinda different

I own her "Best of" and Lover's Rock.

I'm assuming from the love on this thread that it's worth it to buy all of the full length albums. In other words, the non-single album tracks are that good.

Plus, Sade albums are cheap, even new. I think I've seen the first three albums sold together in a three-pack for a very good price.

thekidsgirl said:

True, but as Labelle..They were a group

funkpill said:

True, but we better stop Pattifying this Sade thread!

thekidsgirl said:

yeah...you're right

Oh honey, I forgot to mention the remix to Cherish the Day I think it's the Ronin mix I like the best, LAWD

I'm listening to "Love Deluxe" now. It opens so great... very smooth. I can't help but think that the name "Love Deluxe" was inspired by Trane's "A Love Supreme." The two have a very similar ring.

I don't care what anyone on this God given Earth says, "Lovers Rock" is one of the most beautiful albums EVER!!!! "Somebody Already Broke My Heart" is a masterpiece!!!!!

She was so beautiful too.

red lipstick on brown skin...eee

I think I'm in love with her, her music, and her name.

Gotta disagree. 1985. Prairie View A&M freshman. 17 years old. Me and everyone I knew on campus played Diamond Life relentlessly. Took most of us to bed each night.
