I’ve been a fan of Sade since I was a little girl and can remember exactly where I was the first time I heard Smooth Operator – my cousin’s bedroom in Miami. I recall playing the cassette she gave me over, and over, and over again, and going back to school that Fall with a slick back pony tail, just too proud of the size of my forehead. (Til this day, my go-to hairstyle.)
Words cannot express what it meant for me to see this beautiful soul in concert. I always thought people who cried at concerts were pathetic, until I became one of them. I’ll gladly a shed a tear for this woman. The love I have for Sade is beyond ordinary…
