My brother was three years older, and when he was 17, he started to drive, so he could take me places.
I suppose I started going out to dance when I was 14 or 15. Eventually my brother bought a record player. SADE: It’s not too bad, but we didn’t have a record player. “Whe-e-e-e-ere is love?” And we had Dinah Washington’s Greatest Hits and Sinatra and Basie.ĪLETTI : Well, it’s not as bad as it could have been. We had three records in the house when we were young: the soundtrack to Oliver. I think maybe because we were quite deprived of music, when my brother and I grew up and discovered it, we really got excited by it. In 1988, after three sold-out nights at Radio City Music Hall, the elusive pop singer sat down with writer Vince Aletti for our 1988 November issue. In honor of Lady Sade’s birthday, we revisit the best moments from her Interview cover story, where she opens up about her love for dancing, the tabloids, Prince, and why she “would never go to the Limelight.”
The band found success with the instant classic 1984’s “Smooth Operator,” turning Sade herself into a music superstar and a reluctant fashion icon. In her early days she went to fashion school in London, had a brief career as a model, and eventually formed the band Sade. Born to a British mother and Nigerian father, the songstress never intended to become a music icon. Today, Folasade Helen Adu, the artist better known as Sade, turns 60.
