Sade: The Best Of Sade

The Best of Sade is the first greatest hits album by vocalist Sade Adu and her band. Sade formed in London in 1982. However, three of their members were originally from Kingston upon Hull in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Their music features elements of soul, R&B, jazz, soft rock, and funk. Sade's 1984 debut studio album Diamond Life, was a hit internationally, reaching # 1 in several countries and the Top Ten in the US where it has sold in excess of 4 million copies. This album collects the hits from those albums, and the albums that came since, when Sade became an influence on a whole new generation of bands and singers.
