Sade (1st TV interview) 1983 - Loose Talk - London Ft Paul Cooke скачать видео бесплатно

When you are nearly famous it's always hard to get any respect off TV presenters :) Sade has some awkward moments in front of a crowd of band supporters from Hull when asked about Pride and her backing band. Sade was formed by Pride members Paul Cooke, Stuart Mathewman, Paul Denman and of course the singer Ms Adu. Andrew Hale had not joined the band at this stage, this video features the original line up aka The Martini Boys, Paul, Stuart & Paul:) My Sade Story Part 1 now at #Amazon

To re-cap ‘My Sade Story’. The singer in October 1983 transferred without my knowledge the rights of the RCA sessions and recordings to CBS on the 19th October 1983. Including songs such as Smooth Operator & Your Love is King.

The producer Robin Millar and his engineer Mike Pela sampled my drums in the RCA sessions and then in November 1983 without my knowledge used a Linn drum and a session drummer to re-create some of the songs such as Cherry Pie et al in isolation from the rest of the band?

In January 194 the singer Sade Adu sacked me from the band and gave me an invoice for work done in the studios sessions as if I was a session drummer. This was in consideration of her contract with CBS Records. Further to this in 1996 I was represented by the record company as a session musician on some of the Sade recordings for Diamond Life?

In 1984 I performed with my former band Sade on the BBC ‘Top of the Pop’s show performing the drums for ‘Your Love is King’. The singer Sade Adu represented the band Sade as five members of the group signed to Epic Records her record company.

In 1985 the record company Epic Records removed my drums on Smooth Operator for the video track. I was replaced on the video by John Rose who was later convicted of drug dealing in the same year. A non drummer. My drums had been re-performed by a session musician called David Early.

In 2001 or thereabouts the band Sade re-recorded Smooth Operator in The USA removing my drums once again and creating a new version of the song that appears on ‘Sade essentials’ product by Sony.

Undeniably the singer was the genius behind the bands success and the remaining band members have just been along for the ride not really contributing anything worthwhile to date..
