Hey JJLA, I really do think you have the best reaction channel, I don't comment that often but I never miss a video. You have it sussed, you learn, we learn and we also get all your insights. Don't ever change ❤️!
I think Sade is one of the most beautiful women to ever grace a stage. Not only that, she has a voice like melted chocolate. She still looks and sounds good today. Timeless.
Yes Northern Soul started in Manchester and Wigan. It was basically obscure American soul music usually flip sides to more well known songs but with a good dance beat. Peppered with a few good Four Seasons songs . It was fabulous Oh those days 🎉🎉
Sade was at art school in London with my girlfriend in the eighties. She said she was quiet but stylish. She wrote her final dissertation about elephants apparently. Not sure if she finished the course. I was at a different art school.
Diamond Life is one of the greatest albums I have ever owned. It was cool knowing that I grew up in Clacton at the same time as her. She was in the year above my brother at school. I only ever saw her once in Clacton, after she had become famous. I have to say she was even more stunning in real life!
Northern Soul was in the early to mid seventies. It re-emerged in the early 80s on the back of the mod revival moment and has resurfaced again in recent years. It still has plenty of followers.
@@tonyjohnson1405 I was squatting in Brighton, and Oxford, although never London, I was and am too lightweight...I always had a toilet...and hot water mostly...and once or twice a telephone. Possibly not having those amenities was a special skill...in 'The Way We Wore' Robert Elms' says "we literally didn't have a pot to piss in..."
@ The most extreme was living in mid wales on my own on top of remote hill near Welshpool..no car no electricity no running water had to collect from a well which was up another hill…the house was haunted by an 19 th century parlour maid who committed suicide in the house and I whose presence had driven everyone else away.. would bathe when it rained in all weather..I had to find work so worked on a local farm where only Welsh was spoken. I lost the art of communication ..he paid me 50 p an hour I worked from 6 am often till 10 at night in the summer…I was like Tarzan.. don’t think I’ve ever been happier..returning to London was horrendous..oh and the rent for this five bedroom house £10 a month..this was 1974
@@tonyjohnson1405 I lived one summer in a shack in Appalachia, the main problem was heat and long periods of boredom, the boredom I filled with book...but I still have a hard lump on the back of my head from where the fat covering my skull bubbled and solidified in the Southern Ohio sun, which everyone failed to warn me about...now where I live, in Herefordshire I collect our drinking and cooking water from the well by choice not neccessity. I had to do a DIY and only temporarily successful exorcism in the first year here, as there were ghosts from too many eras within and without the old worker's cottage we rent, and our daughter was young. It has calmed down somewhat after a dozen years in terms of out-and-out haunting but remains the most uncanny place I have ever lived. I have theories, partially supported by inexact cencus records, that the main offender, who I knew by osmosis was called John, who I never saw but felt as a palblable presence, was the estate overseer from around 1900. For around six months when our daughter was approaching five, most of which she spent in our bed, she reported too regularly of "scary man and woman" at her bedside saying they were "going to eat her". There is a particuarly onimous understair cupboard in our bedroom which I try to avoid thinking about. Anyway, this thread has taken a very off topic turn... S.
I knew sade when she lived in Clacton, she was cool then and still is. You could also look into the cool voice of Alison Moyet who comes from the same part of the UK.
Northern Soul was still going strong in the '70's and '80's. I gave you a round of applause btw when you worked out that Clacton was the scene of one of the Mods and Rockers debacles! It's great to see someone putting together bits of information they have gleaned previously with new stuff! I remember Sade singles from the 1980's very fondly. They just oozed class.
Sade was a great band playing fantastic music that was sweet to listen too. The sound was a pleasure to the years even for a rock rock rock listener as myself.
In Denmark we had a pirat radio station as well from 1958 to 1963, because danish radio was stricked too about what music to play; mainly classic and jazz, and the young people wanted pop and rock music more, so there was also send a boat into international waters to broadcast radio from financed a lot by radio adverticing and the radio station was called Radio Mercur(Mercury in english), the government tried hard to shut it down, and in 1963 the danish radio broadcast got it shut down and made their own popular music channel P3(program 3) to cater to the younger demografic. I love Sade, she has such a soulful voice and my favorite of her/their songs is No Ordinary Love.
Clacton Pier is officially the largest pleasure pier in Europe, covering a staggering 6 1/2 acres @JJLA Sade also has a song called “Maureen” Love her to bits and I even sing very much like her so others say!. She was so shy, she suffered terribly from stage fright, bless her 🤩
That thing you recognised on the pier is called a helter-skelter which, I am led to believe is not a common thing in the US. This is where the name of the Beatles song came from
What a great review, it was more than a reaction, certainly good seeing what I would call a long form review 👍 I was a Sade fan back in the 80’s, and have remained so ever since
Great piece chap. I’m new to your channel and have not seen you comment on music yet. It fits like a glove. In 1989 when Faith No More’s “The Real Thing” came out, I remember Mike Patton absolutely gushing about Sade. At first glance it seemed weird, but after a minute it all clicked.
Just to correct you, JJ, Northern Soul started in the late '60s at it's height in the early to mid '70s, but still remained popular in the late '70s and '80s, it had a resurgence in the late '90s throughout the 2000s and is still popular today, it's always been a underground movement in the U.K. I knew Sade in the early '80s as I was friends with a lot of people who went to, St Martin's School of Art in London a lot of music came out of there throughout the '80s.
You cannot believe how successful Sade was in Greece during the 80's. When "Smooth Operator" was released every bar by the sea in practically every island played Sade. And we heard her voice on the radio very regularly. So, reading about the band's struggles to enter the US market I found it very strange. I was one of the very few people that rented her concerts from the video rental place
The Band without Sade Adu is called Sweetback. The track "Softly Softly (feat. Maxwell)" is worth checking out. Robin Thicke did a song called "I Need Love", sounded a lot like Sade.
Having been in an aspiring band in the late 70s, I know what it's like to be a victim of the "reverse snobbery" of the British music press. They're a ghastly bunch. (PS Love your Michael MacDonald)
I got into Sade as the band hit the ground. My brother 10 yrs older than me would play her songs and it felt like golden virgin honey being poured into my ears. Until this day I also appreciate Doug E Fresh and old school hip hop. Lol I was only in single digits, but my brothers taste in music, my father and mother's taste in music has sent me on the eclectic appreciation of so many genre's. The only music I don't like is Lovers Rock... as I've commented before my prick of a sister likes that music. SUCH A PRICK.
The narrator is not entirely right, Sade was immediately a huge hit in London and wasn’t associated with yuppies at all. Lots of people dressed in all black in the 80s, more than dressed like New Romantics ffs. If you attended any London clubs you knew about Sade. Everyone had that album, just everyone.
Sade's "Cry Me A River" on this video calls to mind Julie London's version from 1955 ua-cam.com/video/gCGNYJOrebA/v-deo.html My favourite is "No Ordinary Love"
Not quibbling with the soul label, but I think Sade also falls in to the 'sophisti-pop' genre with bands like The Blue Nile, and Prefab Sprout... maybe even Deacon Blue and Talk Talk. They were all more interested in forging their own path, around great songs, rather than following the crowd.
Americans only hearing one or two songs from, primarily British, bands is simply down to US radio stations then, probably still, when they would only ever play one (or two), and play them to death, over and over.
Cool, so South Essex has TOWIE, those of us in the North of Essex have Sade and Blur, I'll take that. Easier to jump on the train for London, you can be in London Liverpool Street in less than an hour, sod driving there.
Love Sade... JJ Please please can you do some reactions to Angelina Jordan.. She is the best vocalist I have ever heard.. She's also got a fantastic fan base... Love and light from across the pond xxx 🎷🎵🎶🎙️😘😘😘
Sade is currently working on new music and is set to release a compilation of her six studio albums on vinyl in 2024: New music Sade and her band are recording at Miraval Studios in Correns, France, which is owned by Brad Pitt and co-operated by Damien Quintard. In 2024, Sade will release "Young Lion", a song dedicated to her son, on the Red Hot Organization's Transa compilation. Transa is a 46-track compilation that celebrates the trans community and raises awareness of trans rights. Google.
The other singer in the band Pride that she played in before she went solo was a superior singer for me (and her RANGE!! Wow!!), however that singer's boyfriend wasn't Bob Elms... Sade is nice enough, but I've always found her voice a tad boring after 2 minutes.... Good for her for making it big time though, and Stuart Matthewman writes brilliant songs, he was the real superstar for me.

Goldbridge Djurgården HJK 5th December. Are you interested. I’ll be there with two friends of mine. The trip is paid by US government. Also football clubs are our blood and soil.
JJ... I dont think the Teddy boys would have liked Sade much.... they have been typfied as being rather violent towards POC's... not all of course, but enough of them for it to be a big problem
Clacton may be a nice place (never been there, so I’ll reserve judgment) but just so you know, its representative in Parliament is Trump’s bestie Nigel Farage
20:34 your characterization of Yuppies as hippy boomers made me laugh out loud at how completely wrong it was. Yuppie came from a portmanteau of Young UPwardly-Mobile, so the Young alone ruled out any but the very last born of the boomers. They were Generation X who were hyper-focused on getting ahead - Wealth, Power and Money, all the symbols of status and their desperate climb for it - an antithetical counter-reaction to the 'spiritual' non-materialist ideals of the Hippy generation they loathed. You couldn't have gotten this one any more wrong.
I found this item on Sade a bit irritating, your constant interruptions did not help, hope you listen to Smooth Operator in it's entirety to understand how good her music was.
@@firstsurname7099 I doubt it. I was born with perfect, or absolute pitch (according to the British definition, not the American one. Look it up), so when I sang I sang in perfect pitch.
@@gigmcsweeney8566 well Sade is always going on about how she could hear you singing out of tune at that gig, even over all the crowd coz it was sooooo bad. She never stops banging on about it. You'll probably find her bringing it up in interviews coz seriously she cant stop telling people. Look it up. Nah don't bother sure you're far too busy recording with Beyonce and singing at Glynebourne and shit.
@@firstsurname7099 Very droll. You must be a big fan. To be honest, I wasn't putting her down. It must've been a very hard gig to do, with no chance of a sound check, and not great sound quality and almost impossible to hear yourself on stage, with or without monitors - the delay between the speakers at the back of the stadium to the front was huge. When I arrived it was just as Ultravox was starting their set and the stadium was still half empty, and the reverb near the entrance made it sound like there was two bands playing simultaneous, though slightly out of time. Anyway, If Sade heard me sing she'd have been a very lucky girl and would've remarked on my ability to recall a note perfectly. Toodlepip!
@@gigmcsweeney8566 oh dear oh dear oh dear, suffice it to say its painful enough having to see whatcha writing on t'internet without anyone having to hear you sing or blather on like a self important dullard IRL, petal. I'm sure you've been advised of this in the past but a wee bit of self awareness and humility go a long way.

Sade has just returned to release an amazing and very emotional song about her son called Young Lion ❤
Never heard of Prefab Sprout?!! Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque!
those were dark days indeed
King of rock n roll is a true 80's guilty pleasure, Cars and Girls is just a pleasure.
Great band

It's pronounced "SAX-OFF-E-NIST" in the UK, my last gf, before I got married was a Saxophone player/teacher, and she was superb.
Sade is the Queen ❤
Been a fan since the very beginning. New single released - Young Lion. Maybe more to come.

@@gigmcsweeney8566 oh dear oh dear oh dear, suffice it to say its painful enough having to see whatcha writing on t'internet without anyone having to hear you sing or blather on like a self important dullard IRL, petal. I'm sure you've been advised of this in the past but a wee bit of self awareness and humility go a long way.
Clacton's current MP is, unfortunately, the ghastly Nigel Farage who, given half a chance, would have deported Sade's mother back to Nigeria
That is absolute rubbish.
You cleary aren't capable of understanding the difference between legal and illegal immigration, bless you.
Sade’s mother is English her father is Nigerian
@@bab5panky Glad you think so.
I'm British and I had no idea that Sade was British, whatever, she is perfection
😳
Hated both Simply Red and even worse Style Council..Weller really sold out for that period..yuck
Oh haha The Style Council is my favourite Weller period.
Clacton is now unfortunately famous for a particular politician...😏
