Biography

When Sade first came on the recording scene in the '80s, her record company, Epic, made a point of printing "pronounced shar-day" after her name on the record labels of her releases. Soon enough the world would have no problem in correctly pronouncing her name. In January 1985, her debut album Diamond Life was released in America, and by spring it went platinum off the strength of the Top Ten singles "Smooth Operator" and "Hang on to Your Love." Her second album, Promise (November 1985), featured "Never as Good as the First Time" and arguably her signature song, "The Sweetest Taboo," which stayed on the U.S. pop charts for six months. ~ Ed Hogan
