Sade - The Best Of [2xLP]

The Best of Sade is the first compilation album by vocalist Sade Adu and her band...and when it comes to perfect 'best of' tracklistings...this is a timeless example. It was originally released in November 1994. Sade formed in London in 1982. However, three of their members were originally from Kingston upon Hull in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Their music features elements of soul, R&B, jazz, soft rock, and funk. Sade's 1984 debut studio album Diamond Life, was a hit internationally, reaching # 1 in several countries and the Top Ten in the US where it has sold in excess of 4 million copies. In late 1985, Sade released their second studio album Promise, which peaked at No. 1 in both the UK and the US. It was certified double platinum in the UK, and quadruple platinum in the US.
