"Smooth Operator" is a song by the English band "Sade" from their debut studio album, Diamond Life (1984). Songwriters Sade Adu and Ray St. John.
"Smooth Operator" is about a fashionable con artist who moves in high social circles. He is popular with women and breaks many hearts. The lyrics "Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male / Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale" suggest that he also uses women to make his income.
Helen Folasade Adu, known professionally as Sade Adu or simply Sade, is a Nigerian-born British singer, known as the lead vocalist of the band "Sade". One of the most successful British female artists in history, she is often recognized as an influence on contemporary music.
In 1984, when our Band "Saturday" was at its absolute peak, this song was a top hit in the Danish nightclubs, and has therefore earned its place in my musical memoirs.
Hope you will bear with me, it’s been a challenge as an older male singer, to perform the lyrics in the original key.
