History

1980s

Sade was formed in 1983, when members of a Latin soul band Pride--Helen Folasade Adu, Stuart Matthewman, and Paul Spencer Denman--together with Paul Anthony Cook formed a splinter group and began to write their own material. Later, in 1983, Andrew Hale joined the band. In 1984, Cook was asked to leave the band. Sade, named for the moniker of their lead singer, made its debut in December 1982 at Ronnie Scott's Club in London, in support of Pride. In May 1983 Sade performed at Danceteria Club in New York City. It was Sade's first U.S. show. Sade received more attention from the media and record companies than Pride and separated finally. On 18 October 1983 Sade Adu signed with Portrait Records. All Sade albums were released through this label until it was absorbed by its parent label Epic Records in 1986.

On 25 February 1984 Sade released its first UK single "Your Love Is King". On 28 July 1984 it released the debut album "Diamond Life" in the United Kingdom.
