"Smooth Operator" is about a fashionable con-man who moves within high social circles. He is popular with women and breaks many hearts. The lyrics "Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male / Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale" imply that he also uses women to obtain his income. It is also clear that he does not hold sincere affection for these women, as Sade sings near the end, "his heart is cold". He's a professional criminal and she is co-operating with cops. (WIKI)
Sade is the epitome of class and grace. She is stunningly beautiful and I've always loved this song. Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 had a song with a similar "smokey" vibe in 1967 called "The Look of Love". Lounge music. ✨✨🎶✨✨
Love Sade! My dad (almost 78 😄) is a big fan since the 80s and made me notice their music in the first place, I guess. Sade was and still is very popular in Germany 🤩
~obligatory story every time I hear the word Sade~ I used to go to BBQs in Tacoma with my ex bestie's parents on Hilltop in the late 00's and they had a friend named Corinne who ALSO used to show up with her boyfriend at the time, a dude named Robert. Who happened to be incredibly tall, incredibly dark, and incredibly Sade's cousin. I remember that and he was quiet and nice? That's about all I remember ^_^' And that's the story of how I used to BBQ with Sade's cousin, lol.
Mafia figure..... bit worse than just a con man as we can have con men in politics.... and they like to destroy the business of competitors and family who they do not see as allies and not luv them enough in retribution. The mafia will do one in also and that includes family in its retribution.....
Smooth operator is or was a term used to describe someone who is good at doing business deals. Now to the legality of those deals is another thing. The song seams to be applying the term a guy who is a playboy or even a player who has a lot of dealings with other people, men and women involving sex. But the video seams to be indicating that the smooth operator is an arms dealer who is doing business outside the rules of how he should be doing it.
Bro!! You MUST watch Sade LIVE!!! She's so exotic and her band is so cool! Check out NOTHING CAN COME BETWEEN US or Love is Stronger Than Pride or No Ordinary Love. 😊
@ 1:59 Now *that* is one helluva cuppa coffee! lol.... I have to find a cup like that. (laughing) Does it have a heater in the bottom to keep your coffee hot or do you just have to imbibe quickly?
It would help you a lot of you took a minute and read the lyrics of sings before you react. It would add so much more deoth to your reactions. Other than that, I enjoy your reactions.
"License To Love , Insurance to Hold ".. . If I had to listen to only one song for a year , I probably would pick SMOOTH OPERATOR. It's SOOO GREAT. And the next song on the album , kept it going with " YOUR LOVE IS KING ". MUSIC IS MEDICINE !!

I love her voice and music, love the saxophone 🎷!!❤❤
Great one Krizz!❤❤
I played this tape out when I was about 10 or 11 years old! Love her voice ❤
This is still so smooth and sexy
aaaahhhhh...Sade makin' sweet, sweet love to your ear holes :)
I think it was a commenter on a VH1 "Top 100" list that characterized her voice as being his definition of sexy... I can't argue!
A smooth operator is basically a casanovo con man. She is realizing she has been used by this man.

Classy sultry
This could have like a 40 minute remix and it would still be dope.

But a video a video and normally it not the artist vision of the song
The night my husband died I had Sade song lyrics tattooed above my heart
Nothing Can Come Between Us
My hubby loved Sade (I still do love her music).
Great White Rock me. Red Hot Chilli Peppers Under the bridge
Please react to her songs NEVER AS GOOD AS THE FIRST TIME and NO ORDINARY LOVE ❤❤❤ 🔥 🔥 🔥
Bro!! You MUST watch Sade LIVE!!! She's so exotic and her band is so cool! Check out NOTHING CAN COME BETWEEN US or Love is Stronger Than Pride or No Ordinary Love. 😊
That's gotta be the biggest mug I've ever seen 😂
Great vid. I always thought it was about a playa until I saw the vid, it's weird.
Would be nice if she released an album this year. Guess we'll see...
Sade - Paradise🌴
If you've not seen Prince's version of "Motherless Child", it's worth checking out.
We need a saxophone 🎷 solo in one of your rap songs Krizz

Candy Dulfer worked with Prince Tech Nine
She's The Life of the Party!
❤
When I watched this as a teen, my taught was oh come on man you are going to cheat on her!! What were you smoking?
I stiol have no idea what most of the lyrics are and I don't care because Sade is super FINE ❤
💃 💃
Krizz you really want to understand the video they make one that's 8:29 it's called the 12" version watch it.
I always thought Sade was Nigerian but it turns out we both kinda right
It would help you a lot of you took a minute and read the lyrics of sings before you react. It would add so much more deoth to your reactions. Other than that, I enjoy your reactions.
Mc lyte and Queen Latifah look gorgeous to
C'mon, You never heard Smooth Operator? That's gotta be a Huge Rock you lived under.
:) Either that or *you* are exceptionally lucky. :)
If you find yourself at a Waffle House, check out the jukebox. Buried in the catalog is their own WH band's version, titled 'Grill Operator'.
One of the hottest woman on the planet especially in the 80s. My wife doesn’t like when i bring her up
He's a conman. I assume the gun is in case someone he's conned comes after her.
Just do the new Eminem leak Smack You, it’s a suge / ja diss
