#200 Sade, 'Diamond Life' (1984)

‘Diamond Life’ is the debut album by former model and backing vocalist-turned-frontwoman, Sade Adu. To be fair, Sade is a essentially band named after its singer. The album opens with one of the smoothest sax melodies of all time. ‘Smooth Operator’ is a song I remember constantly being on radio when I was a kid. The album takes its name from this song; “Diamond life, loverboy.”
