I decided to give this one a new rip with my newer Ortofon Super 30 stylus. But for those who may have missed it or if you are a new reader just discovering BTG. Originally I posted this one on February 18, 2011. Taken From The Portrait LP: “DIAMOND LIFE” The US 12″ promo contains an exclusive nearly nine minute version. Some radio edits have shortened the instrumental saxophone solo, as well as the first repeat of the lines that come after the Chorus portions. Some radio edits have omitted the spoken Introduction, and proceeded with the opening sung line of the title of the album, “Diamond Life”. This song is noted for Sade’s spoken recitation in the song’s introduction. It is also clear that he does not return the affections of these women, as Adu sings near the end, “His heart is cold.” The lyrics “Coast to Coast, LA to Chicago, Western Male, Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale” imply that he uses women to sustain himself. He is popular with women and breaks many hearts. “Smooth Operator” is about a fashionable man who lives a jet-set lifestyle. John later went on to play guitar with the band Halo James, which scored a UK Top Ten hit with “Could Have Told You So” in February 1990. John left Pride shortly after Sade joined. The pair co-wrote the song in 1982 while still members of Pride, yet did not get around to recording it because St. John, who co-wrote “Smooth Operator” with Sade Adu, was previously a member of Adu’s former band Pride, although he was not a member of the band Sade. charts, and their most successful single internationally. Although “Your Love Is King” remains Sade’s biggest hit in the UK to date, “Smooth Operator” is the band’s breakthrough hit on the U.S. The song spent thirteen weeks in the Top Forty, and also topped the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart for two weeks. This was Sade’s first Top Ten hit in the U.S., peaking at number five on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for two weeks in May 1985. “Smooth Operator” is a song by the English group Sade, released as the fourth and final single from their debut album Diamond Life (1984). This 12? is also being posted in 24 bit flac for the very first time! Originally I posted this one on February 17, 2011.
