cooked carrots Sade Live - Smooth Operator - Ronnie Scotts - London -1982

This was the first time the original band of SADE consisting of Paul Denman, Paul Cooke, Stuart Mathewman and Helen Adu performed the song Smooth Operator at Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club in London in December 1982. This version is quite a heavy
version on the drums but you have all the elements there that went onto make it a huge worldwide hit for Sade. To me it has a very Sly & Robbie feel to it as we have Sade singing to what is a drum and bass line with Stuart on sax. I guess we pioneered drum and bass at the time? This is a perfect example of what was the original drum and bass line that got refined by the original band over time.

To re-cap ‘My Sade Story’. The singer in October 1983 transferred without my knowledge the rights of the RCA sessions and recordings to CBS on the 19th October 1983. Including songs such as Smooth Operator & Your Love is King.

The producer Robin Millar and his engineer Mike Pela sampled my drums in the RCA sessions and then in November 1983 without my knowledge used a Linn drum and a session drummer to re-create some of the songs such as Cherry Pie et al in isolation from the rest of the band?

In January 194 the singer Sade Adu sacked me from the band and gave me an invoice for work done in the studios sessions as if I was a session drummer. This was in consideration of her contract with CBS Records. Further to this in 1996 I was represented by the record company as a session musician on some of the Sade recordings for Diamond Life?

In 1984 I performed with my former band Sade on the BBC ‘Top of the Pop’s show performing the drums for ‘Your Love is King’. The singer Sade Adu represented the band Sade as five members of the group signed to Epic Records her record company.

In 1985 the record company Epic Records removed my drums on Smooth Operator for the video track. I was replaced on the video by John Rose who was later convicted of drug dealing in the same year. A non drummer. My drums had been re-performed by a session musician called David Early.

In 2001 or thereabouts the band Sade re-recorded Smooth Operator in The USA removing my drums once again and creating a new version of the song that appears on ‘Sade essentials’ product by Sony.


Undeniably the singer was the genius behind the bands success and the remaining band members just along for the ride.
