I just found out about Sade. My life has been changed forever.

[Heraclitean]

Sade and her band made that gigantic stadium in the middle of the day feel like an intimate night club. Amazing.

[HYBRED]

The definition of class, style, elegance, fineness, sobriety, talent and natural beauty.

[debhess]

So glad she never let herself be turned into just another pop singer.

[Solus]

One of her eyelashes is worth more in talent than most so-called "entertainers" today.

[PW-umch]

Today’s so called queens of rnb, soul and jazz couldn’t even stand in her shadow. Pure class, beauty packed in a humble personality.

[Alltakenbla]

This is Sade. 80s would not be complete without this incredible voice and amazing lady.

[lew]

The sound of this woman has gotten me through many tough days in this life.

[LisaBrown-wyhi]

Unmistakable voice. You'd recognize it anywhere without even seeing her sing.

[christylynnsosa]

Still listening to SADE in 2024 her voice is so soothing and timeless and the music is mesmerizing

[BLAKEEATS]

she doesn't need over belting or riffs to be great. her soft, charismatic voice alone is enough.

[dallenYT]

I’m truly captivated by how beautiful she is here. No Botox, no lip fillers just raw natural beauty. Her voice is like silk

[michaelobrien]

she held that audience in the palm of her hand - you could hear a pin drop - real presence...wow!

[ginosuarez]

She was born to enlighten our world with her precious velvet voice and beauty!

[jesserios]

Sade Adu is now 65 years old….but she is timeless to me. Her vhs tape used to be my vibe setting music at get togethers back in the day❤

[ultrafaga]

This is just plain sick! Her voice could conquer nations! This performance is absolutely superlative 💀

[idellbrown]

Full class. Doesn't need to get practically naked like so many so called famous singers think they need to, to get rating. Endless talent and dignity ❤

[michaelmadsen-yqkw]

Not only is Sade an outstanding performer, but her band is tight, esp the bass player.

[lothair]

It's a crime that somebody has such a voice and is so beautiful.

[tripmom]

i want to go back to the 80s. best time of my life
