Lyrics
He's laughing with another girl
And playing with another heart
Placing high stakes, making hearts ache
He's loved in seven languages
Jewel box life diamond nights and ruby lights, high in the sky
Heaven help him, when he falls
Diamond life, lover boy
He move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy
City lights and business nights
When you require streetcar desire for higher heights
No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
When sentiment is left to chance
No place to be ending but somewhere to start
No need to ask
He's a smooth operator
Smooth operator, smooth operator
Smooth operator
Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale
Face to face, each classic case
We shadow box and double cross
Yet need the chase
A license to love, insurance to hold
Melts all your memories and change into gold
His eyes are like angels but his heart is cold
No need to ask
He's a smooth operator
Smooth operator, smooth operator
Smooth operator
Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale
Smooth operator, smooth operator
Smooth operator, smooth operator
Smooth operator, smooth operator
Smooth operator, smooth operator
Smooth operator, smooth operator
Her band absolutely kicks ass. She's getting 100% from everyone on stage. That kind of synergy doesn't just happen.
nope
@@MakeSomeNoiseAgencyPlaylistsyou have no room to talk "17 subs". Get out of here.
@@dionchannel4222 I agree with you, but subs are not an important metric if you're not a content creator. Just let people vent.
Nope, that’s the power of music.
@@dionchannel4222 You do realise that @MakeSomeNoiseAgencyPlaylists was most likely simply agreeing that that kind of synergy doesn't just happen?
Seems to me that many people are ready to squabble at the slightest excuse.
anyone in 2024?
yea
Yes, Carlos Saints junior!
Smoooooot operation 😊
Toujours top 👍❤️
🎉
Always!❤
here for our smooooooooooooooooooooth operatorrrrrrrr
edit: also after the GREAT win in Australia GP!
so real I love this song for that
@@doeshehaveone ikr!! He was majestic in australia!
@@sainz5516 he was effectively acting like max that race but it was better bc he isnt max, so im not complaining
you know the songs is good when you find the live version.
Its not just Sade, but its the band, the producer, and the entire production. Classy
Nah it's Sade.
Yea, she is the very best. Amazing woman.
@@elliottburgess9562 XD
all of you are newbs. the band is called "SADE."
elliott Burgess
the band is called “SADE.”
The saxophonist is fantastic. all of them really.
Stuart Matthewman
Don't get me wrong, the bass player was great but I thought she disrespected the sax guy by not bowing to him too...
@@andysimreviews3143 I don't think that's the case. Stuart has been with the band since day 1 when the 4 of them were in a jazz band and Sade was singing backup. Stuart had written a song and asked her to write lyrics. The rest is history. He's sax and guitarist and is co-writer and producer to all of their songs. When she introduces the band, she calls him her "bestfriend and brother".
that isn't the first time she's done that. Sade has been doing that for years.
Jkaterchannel Yes, Indeed. The saxophonist guy made the most of this timeless song. In reality, the entire band plays flawlessly.
Sade is in the studio right now working on a new album. Keep your fingers crossed that it will be released in 2023.
Can't wait, can only be a bullseye
is she really ? where did you get that from ??? Man I can't wait if thats true
hyyyyyyyyyyyyyype
😭😭😭
Can't wait!
God I hope so! I loved her for decades! I'd love to see her in person before I die.
Saw this set live. I’ve been to concerts by every major artist for the last 45 years from Elton John to Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson and everyone in between. Sade and her band’s performance was hands down the best concert I’ve ever witnessed. Stage presentation, musicianship, vocals. Unbelievable! Love Sade❤❤❤
Totally agree
I really hope she announces a U.K. tour. My mum saw her in 2011 with friends and said she was just absolutely amazing.
Согласен. Она божественна!
Which MJ tour did you go to??
@@Zacks1603
1988 ‘Bad’ Tour and 1993 ‘History’ Tour
She oozes sensuality, with a voice as silky smooth as a good wine, the band is just flawless
Ooozes
Speechless!!
I need a cigarette after this song. And I don’t smoke.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol
F*ck I just quit 2 weeks ago... LOOOOOOOOL
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
We’re blessed to still have this Legend from the 80s with us … May she live to a 100 to enjoy her legacy
No matter what time you are in, 80s music will always be the best
She would be perfect for a James Bond film.
Comment of the day, excellent idea.
Or 80s porno movies
totgaming a licence to thrill 😂
like 10000000000000000000000000000000000 times better than dirty head billie eilish.
I agree
She hasn't aged a day, her voice is still amazing. Absolutely gorgeous still.
She is ageless, she doesn't age.
She is a woman that will be beautiful even in her 70s
@@bettyjones7739 no one is immune from aging , Helen will pass someday like all mortals .
@@mikewallace8087 that was a figure of speech if you can understand that. Common Sense tells us that we all can die but I was referring to the fact that she's aging beautifully whether she lives longer or not.
@@bettyjones7739 a more proper figure of speech is, She seems ageless, almost as if she doesn't age. Can you understand that Betty? Your words were literal Betty.
Sade, the drummer, the guitarist, Carlos, everyone is amazing.
I never get tired of her. Her music is timeless.
Me either!! Loved her and her music since I was a little girl, growing up in the 80s!!😊❤👍
In 1984 i was thirteen: the most of the guys had the poster of Madonna in their bedroom but the mine was a beautiful picture of Sade.She was and she is still so classy ,a pure beauty and a wonderful voice
Farrah was the 70's. Whitney and Donna Summer. I grok you.
me to and I was 24
In 1984 I was five! And this song impacts me until now.
Madona too
Poster is haram akhy!!
She is so gorgeous and yet unpretentious. No need to show skin. Pure class and elegance. She is a smooth operator, and I love the vibe of this live show. ❤️. And of course, that iconic sax...
sax is great
Oh true the sax and her voice she draws you in.
Modesty.
Kooool
Amazing woman
Her band is her! The blend is beyond perfection ❤
That's the coolest stage entrance I've ever seen ❤
her facial expressions are just so sensual. she's flirting with the crowd and its so amazing.
absolute cauldron of class and sensuality.
all the band her long time friends are deeply moved and in sync...
I am sad she did not have a career in films also...James Bond films or something romance genre or action
She loves her men her team she's an exception I don't know any famous person to do this. Divine soul really advanced.
She Is Just From Another Universe
Well said.
Hopefully
Take me there . Please
She's the one that's smooth.
Deee Legend I’m totally agree with you 😁
One of the absolute best songs ever made
The saxophone solo gives me goosebumps..touches the soul
She manages to kill the beauty game with a slicked back ponytail every time. Just wow.
Sade, byname of Helen Folasade Adu, (born Jan. 16, 1959, Ibadan, Nigeria), Nigerian-born British singer known for her sophisticated blend of soul, funk, jazz, and Afro-Cuban rhythms
Her style didn't look dated even then. Still relevant
Which also lends one to recognize the feature brothers,good naturedly, joke about sisters with a 'Sade Forehead'.
She is an african goddess....
That because beauty isn't hair. Something brack woman need to understan
We need more music like this in today’s world. So talented and classy .
its out there you just gotta look for it...
How true heather
We don't have this today..she needs to comeback and show everyone how it's done!!
@@ZazVocals can you suggest me something?
@@guzmann7345lianne la havas
A never-outdated classic jazz
Reine Ästhetik, Kunst, Musiker, Künstler, die wirklich etwas konnten .... und alle stilvoll gekleidet... Wo ist diese Niveau heute noch groß zu finden? Ich bin glücklich, dass ich meine Jugend in dieser Zeit leben durfte.
She was 51 when singing this live! WOW! Timeless beauty, one in several billion singer. I have never heard a voice as amazing and timeless as hers. She is my favorite singer.
They can't break perfect I know none of us is perfect on this fallen Earth that she is the exquisite liquid of human that's as close as it gets! 🤍🙏🌺🔥
When Sade's "Smooth Operator" was released in the mid 1980's I loved it. I Still do. Sade is a very classy act and her voice is oh-so smooth. Her band is tops at professional musicianship.
She can show young singers how to sing... what a class act she is ..as is the set-up stage the band ... suits and all... very good music wrapped in a earcandy package!!!
She looks exceptional!❤ beautiful voice and love this song!!!
Give Lhasa De Sela a try
One of the finest female vocalists ever.
Damn right my friend!
the whole song is a masterpiece, but what really makes the song is the sax….absolutely amazing 💞
Everything in this song is out of the world. It’s a timeless masterpiece.
I don't care how she looks, they will play Sade in 3017 just like we're playing Today.
She's definitely a Smooth Operator.
for real. wholly cow.
right?! I was headed down hear to say the same thing
AMO a sade
She put you in a trance lol
I whole heartily agree," that live performance was only missing me." That band was exceptional,the bass guitar throwed down,the saxophone was incredible." The background singers got off, even their dancing was tight." the performance was critical acclaimed." I love " Sade " forever."
That sax pose is on point. Somebody rain water on that man.
I hope at some point she does a documentary or autobiography about her life, because we don’t know a whole lot about her life story. I would love to see that
There is one by Trash Theory on UA-cam 👍
@Tezxsr30, her mother is British, her father, Nigerian. She was born in Nigeria, ibadan but raised in the UK.
back in time when music was really art
João Zamae she is Jesus 🤩
Indeed sir
Hey, plenty of good stuff going on today, you just need to dig a little deeper :)
SADE PLEASE TOUR AGAIN....come on girl!!!!
She's always been one of a kind. Was lucky enough to see her live back in '85. Unforgettable.
One of the sexiest songs ever. Wow
Sade always fascinated me. Their music was incredible. And she just came across as so chill, refined. Perfectly dressed, a straight ahead direct beautiful woman, with a beautiful voice. I loved their style of music.
Still listening to this song in 2020 love this song and her 😍😍
Ditto - killer opening fitting the song
Killer bass playa
2021
Yeah I meant to say 2021
@@samanthastewart2066 yes 😍 2021 and still the smoothest mfking operator Lol
When someone is equally perfect from 1984 to 2011 ... great, gorgeous sade adu
indeed
The world needs more bass solos.
Beautiful voice puts a lot of today’s singers to shame she is timeless
The real bond girl
Finally found an asian that knowing this
@@DandyIrzani he not Asian. he muslim. big difference. Asian study hard. Muslim sleep with sister
Why no more genre like this nowadays. No more good music like this. I'm having eargasm.
Beauty personified. What an elegant human-being.
every time I make a comment on youtube I get bagged out but in my opinion Sade rates as top 5 all time female singers and top 3 alltime to look at. for more than 30 years she's been a star
Absolutely. Forget the haters. They are delusional.
no question and she can step out of the game for 10 years and come back and still sellout every where
Right on, bro! Right on! Don't let the muggles get you down.
Well, I wont bag on you, because I agree with you 100%!!!
That band entry is as smooth as it gets...
it sure was:)
I’m 55 .. and I’m still in love with everything about her.
I don’t know her personally… but I’m sure she’s a smooth operator.
I've never seen a band dress better. Full class whole thing
This is ART. Thank you Sade!
This Art and Soul
Let's have some love for the AMAZING BACKGROUND VOCALS, shall we? Good Lord, everything about this is incredible.
Likely the best live production I have ever seen!
Incredible band.
Happy 60th Birthday, Sade - January 16, 2019.
Sade and Susanna Hoffs, from The Bangles are two of the sexiest 60 yr olds, I've ever seen. 😍😍
I'm opraetta Cynthia Corcoran opraetta 🦁 Amy Winehouse pilot and the United Nations j
She's 60? What the flying fuck
Happy Birthday too. WUATB. Sorry to late.
And today she turned 61.
Happyday Sade
So wonderful to hear her singing the song flawlessly. She is in her own league. Incomparable.
Wow she has a beautifull voice....very classy lady....
One of the most talented artists to come out the UK in the last 40 odd years - her band are so insanely good as well. They sound like they’re in the studio even when live; it’s immense ❤
This entire performance is amazing. Every musician, the backup singers, and of course the queen
This will always be one of my favorite songs.
mine too!
This tour was amazing to see live. I had never seen such a rapport between audience and singer. Everyone was enthralled by Sade’s presence. It’s like we were all hypnotized.
I saw this performance in Dallas 2011! Unforgettable performance! L❤ve Sade!
That bass solo is epic, I remember the first time I heard Smooth operator, I was blown away by the voice of Sade, and that band of great musicians, the bassist, a genius
Such class. Pop music today could learn so much from Sade and her band - the whole presentation is wonderful.
agree wholeheartedly.
You nailed it! Class act.
I can't wait till she does another concert. Sade is great and beautiful
When I was 10 I became obsessed with this song... 37 years later... Yeah: STILL OBSESSED ❣️
I met this women back in 1985 I was 6 she took a picture with me and my mom a wonderful women,
How are you?
Lucky
Shaun McGrew I was 6 in 1985 too!
Is English not your native language?

SADE IS QUEEN.
Absolutely 💗
YESS !!!!!!!! I totally agree!!!!!!!
Her name is actually Helen, not Sade.
Holy smokes !! It's 4:30 in the morning. Getting ready to hit the hay. Saw this link. Hesitated to hit it. Glad I did. So wish I was at this concert. Comments say that they appreciate the performance of the band. They recognize brilliance. I am not a musician. But boy are these people right. They gotta be !!
This is a killer performance. This song is one of the all-time arrangements in music history. At least modern history, anyway. Something about it. I recall when it first hit the airwaves. Took the world by storm. Always put a smile on my face. Or at least in my soul. And Sade has lots more where this came from.
So sensual, stylish, powerful - timeless
That's the singer who doesn't need any hair, nail, and fake extensions to be beautiful and stunning. She is operating with her talent and with her radiation.
She’s over 50 in this video which is mad
Totally agree, one of my favorite singers
A REAL VOICE❤️
This is so random 😀
@The bull it is ❤️
2016 tour needs to happen. Man Sade is so damn Beautiful.💯
Beautiful and a sexy voice.
Bassotronics Madonna Madonna songs.
Sade is timeless and elegant ! No one sings like her ! ❤❤❤
Your time to shine, sax man.
she looks incredible and during years, her voice becomes even better.

I'm watching and listening to this wonderful music from inland Australia. I'm so grateful.
❤❤
It's almost 2024 and I am still in love with Sade.
Sade and the entire band are just from another planet. I was always fascinated of her. I also love the fact that she produces music only when she feels she has something to say. Hope she does it soon again so I can get to experience that Magic life.
One of the best performances I’ve ever heard. Everyone was so tight with their respective role. Well done. To everyone who gave a thumbs down, move on to another music genre as this is way too sophisticated for you.
Where was it?
SADE es una cantante de gama alta Perfecta en todo La numero 1 en su género No hay más que decir MITIKA su belleza es perfecta…
She melts me every time. Love Sade
There is a lot of talent on that stage . 😮
Sade is absolutely amazing. I've been a fan of hers since I was 8 years old. Her performances are inspiring to say the least. Sade, you are truly blessed and I thank you for your beautiful music.
InfiNiteDraUght I was 4 years old when I heard the song for the 1st time my aunt is a fan guess my age .
she no hear you
😢Жжждб😂лддздквэ🧱😚😇🏞️🧱🧱🦙🦙🐏🐵🧱🐱😇🌋🌋🌋🌋🧱🏜️🧕😢😮⛺😊❤😢😂
What a performance. The sax is just awesome and Sade is simply incomparable.
The song fell into my mind and can't leave. She started creeping. Before bowing to the Guitarist, She looked mysteriously with this, her unique smile. After that, She wasn't scared to bow to the Guitarist. Distance to herself. Then she started that her simple dance and come back to the singing - smooth with a small hoarseness. And this saxophone background. As if the dialogue between her singing and playing the saxophone. Sophisticated, great, gorgeous, astonishing, breathtaking, I have no words.
Amazing! Many artists imitate others but she is so unique in so many ways no one tries to imitate her.
One does not simply watch Sade and not be mesmerized. One of my favorites. Pure talent and beauty. 🙂👍
I went to the London show! What an evening. Forever etched in my heart.
What a beautiful voice she has. Smooth as silk.
one of the best live performances ever… everything is in place… Sade, the band, the crowd, the song, the spirit… the feeling ❤
THAT BASS SOLO OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Agree. except at 5:22... it wasn't smooth
was that Carlos?! don't remember him have tats; but why else would she give him props like that, right?! What do you think Shitpost?
That's the OG bassist, Paul Denman. He, the saxophonist, and the keyboardist (along with Sade Adu) are all original members of the band Sade.
def one of my most fav parts of this song.
That solo is nothing special, although it's well played. Beides of the fact that he slipped once.
Gorgeous sound.
One of the most elegant bands that have ever existed.
Magnifique !
Mais Sade n'a jamais été un groupe...🤨😑😑😑
year ago when tape players were a thing, I had Sade, Diamond life on one side and Grace Jones Island life on the other. Listened to it nearly every day for about 3 years while working by myself at a company that had very few staff so most days were spent alone. They got me through the days. I still no every word to every song.
I love that she presents the songs exactly as they were produced on the album. Why change perfection!!!!!!!
I pretty much listen to every genre.... even the heavy HEAVY stuff with growls......Sade is and has ALWAYS been..... glorious.
After all these years, just timeless perfection.
Gorgeous, Sade still has such a beautiful voice. Consumate, sublime, timeless. She's one of the greats and her songs sound as good now as they ever did.
Prince is a god, Sade is a mortal touched by the gods, the best shows I’ve ever seen
She's out of this world man ❤👽👽👽
