Sade



Sade is an English R&B band that formed in 1983. The band's music features elements of R&B, soul, jazz, funk and soft rock. The band is named after their British Nigerian lead vocalist, Sade Adu (born Helen Folasade Adu on January 16, 1959 in Ibadan, Nigeria). The members of the band are: Sade Adu (vocals), Stuart Matthewman (guitar and sax), Paul Spencer Denman (bass), and Andrew Hale (keyboards). They were all members --along with Paul Anthony Cook-- of the band Pride which formed in 1982. However, when Andrew Hale joined the band in 1983, Cook left the band afterwards in 1984. Due to the fact that Sade got more attention than Pride, the latter band broke up and Sade remained and signed a record contract with Portrait Records. All Sade albums were released through this label until it was absorbed by its parent label Epic Records in 1986. Sade's debut album, Diamond Life, went Top Ten in the U.K. in late 1984 and sold platinum. In 1986, Sade won a Grammy for Best New Artist. Sade's US certified sales so far stands at 23.5 million units according to RIAA, and has sold more than 50 million units worldwide to date.
