This is the performance I paul Cooke did for the BBC TOTP's with the band Sade in 1984, he was sacked from the band by the manager Lee Barrett in January 1984, but they asked him back to do this show for some reason? Paul never did get paid for this work as Sade represented the group as all signed to her record label. This was the subject of a court case in 2004 when Paul discovered the contracts through a MU lobby of the BBC performance. Paul won an out of court settlement from the BBC and was awarded compensation.
Paul Cooke also established his 11 piece latin jazz group Esposito in 1984 and they released their first single on Zarjazz Records in 1986. Paul was also offered a recording contract with London Records and Zomba Publishing in 1985.
Helen Fola Sade Adu or Sade was orignal a fashion designer and had no musical backround at all she founded a fashion company called Lubell and Adu but this went bust very early into its launch. She then auditioned for Pride after she had worked for the earlier band called Arriva a Latin Jazz band from Clacton Essex the singers home town. She was actually rejected by the band as her vocals were not good enough and she was then asked back by the manager Lee Barrett a few weeks later. The singer took her revenge when she formed a smaller band within Pride called Sade and she was courted by RCA who paid for the bands recordings of Smooth Operator and Your Love is King and Hang onto Your Love in 1983. Jack Stevens from RCA suggested that Helen Adu be pulled out of Pride and they would commision the recordings. The groups manager chose this option with Paul Anthony Cooke, Paul Denman on the bass and drums and the bands sax player Stuart Mathewman. RCA actually rejected the singer because they had been concentrating on the Eurythmics international launch at that time and they also didnt think much to the songs. The manager then found a deal for Sade with CBS later in the year, but the company wouldnt sign up the whole band only the singer. Paul Anthony Cooke objected to the new sound and change of the old songs created by the bands new producer and also the fact that the singer signed a solo deal. Paul was asked to leave the band in January 1984 but rejoined the band in 1984 to perform some promotional TV work for Your Love is King on BBC Top of The Pops and the BBC's Oxford Road Show in Manchester.
In response to making it big i did, in 1982-3 i formed Sade:) I then recorded the songs we had created for the band and the album became famous, i recived a triple platinum disc from the BPI. I also played more than once on TOTPS with the band i formed and played the song i had worked on with the band to millions of people via TV. After that I pursued various musical careers and worked on an incredible amount of music projects sometimes with other famous muscians such as the band Madness et al
Great to walk around the old homestead with my 80 year old mum in 2019 that’s a blessing 🙏

She looks...wow...just beauty at its finest,...
you are right to tell the truth. that music is so smooth and beautifull and she's taking all the credits of it whithout having write a single note; it's terrible why refusing to pay someone for his job having so much money it's desgusting
I love your job and I completly agree whith you
Dude...all the crying needs to stop! Paul Cooke Music...how many times does a person have to say, "Quit yelling about old wounds?"...So, you got fired... Sade's band didn't want you...ok, we all get it. But, now you're willing to belittle yourself by telling about Sade's "warts"?...Really?...Wow... Good or bad, her band has billions of fans. Maybe get out and blaze your own trail. If Soldier of Love was mediocre...sure brought in millions in concert $...Either way, hope you get what you want.
All good thanks ;)

Hello Mr. Cooke
It's an honor and a privilege to finally meet such a legend such as yourself. My name is Teddy Bryant band leader of bands "Urbyne" and "Moonlight ora" .I've been a fan for years since I first heard "diamond life". Your music has inspired me as a musician from my humble beginings. Sade is more than just music to me it's to me the very fabric of how music should sound Diamond Life changed music for me in that way. I really want to collab with you musically. I've always wanted to make music with sade or anyone from the band.
Glad that you are sharing this on RUclips about your personal experience with Sade. I was surprised at first that Sade was like what you described her to be. Then I realized that celebrities will put on a nice personality in front of the camera, but then have an evil persona behind the camera. People will be quick to attack you Paul because they don't see how Sade is behind closed doors. They only see how she acts in front of the camera on interviews, which she gives off a nice, quiet, humble, and shy persona. People don't want to believe the truth, so they attack you to keep you quiet. The entertainment business is a cut-throat industry, so it would be understandable that Sade would be the way you described her to be such as being cunning in order for her to achieve fame. Just keep your head up and don't fret over people that have done you wrong. The more you hold in anger, the more it takes a toll on your immune system and wears you down. You are very talented enough to start your own band.
When we hooking up??
This is so definitely TOTP - Have the entire programme that this was taken from on VCR
Stuart Mathewman became the MD of the band due to the singer not being able to write music. He was a former classical musician and before Sade played in an Elvis covers band. He was always looking at and playing the band other people's music so we could replicate it. And I remember many sessions in the singers flat in Harringay doing just this.
THE ORIGINAL: SADE DRUMMER I had no idea Sade couldn’t write music. However it sounds like you had a great experience working with the band. Do you know why the band takes 10 years to put out an album and tour?
@@Glad2BGolden yeah they get stoned a lot lol
If the manager Lee Barrett had dumped the singer in Sade when he put us with Andrew Hale and his friend we would have been one of the first 80's boy bands 👍genius ....
I agree with you on the problem part, i do have one in-regards to my moral rights and intellectual rights related to my work with Sade in 82-83-84. We had formed the partnership and all our money from gigs paid for the studio and paid to promote the band to record companies. We where the band and had our musicians? including the singer we chose eg: Ms Adu from Pride.
aww love you aunty x
well we all used to sleep together a lot , i once spent the night with stuart the sax player and sade in a hotel room in Vienna and have pictures to prove it:)
THE ORIGINAL: SADE DRUMMER really
Just reading it now…you’re clutching straws Mr Bitter & twisted. You’ve claimed that you deserve credit for starting and creating Sade there performer and band. Yet after all these years none of your claims have stood up in court. So someone must be lying lol.
strange how she look so human beautifull ,and finally as I understand she have a manipulative personality and as I understand the all band lie saying that you have nothing to do in writing the songs of the first album I love the songs of the first album so much I have the vinyl album from the 80 and they mention your name as a drumer to thank as Dave Early it's realy a shame and people have to know that, where is morality?
you are a very special musician and i like your work thank you
didn't know musicians got royalties from televised performances.
I hope the settlement was worth the work you put into the album and the interest accrued. Diamond Life is unquestionably the best of the Sade output.
well she was called 'sharday' in the press when we first started out as no one could pronounce SADE.
My conclusion on Sade after being involved with the band and writing a book on Sade generally is that there was an element of genius in the singer along the lines of that within most famous artists, Dali, Picasso and the like who had a genius for artistic endeavor but also for self promotion and building the brand etc. I think in the design world she could have been even bigger but never got the chance to realise that ambition, her art through music was somewhat restricted by the partners she met as she didn't have that natural ability to play an instrument, she wasn't a musician but an artist and this was conveyed in her writing and presentation mainly. I came to this conclusion from re-recording the drums fro Cherry Pie the original version and the song metering and composition was in fact genius and could only at the time have been attributed to her. Given that she had lost the original producers and band members in 1985 when she blew up, she could have been a lot bigger but had to rely heavily on all concerned to do what she needed to do and I guess never took the risk, they restricted her in a lot of respects. I think a new broom being introduced on the second album, say with Quincy Jones producing or someone of that caliber and higher level musicians would have seen her rise to greater heights as such, but this was never introduced and the music to be honest remained mediocre throughout. She had a lot of potential but was let down by those she associated with due to their mediocrity even though they have spent a lot of time in the preceding years shouting about how great they all are, they in fact contributed to her mediocrity in the end.

@visualart139 She still recording & performing. Just recorded new video for her website. Google her name & I think you should find it easily.
Sastal I agree
Did Sade appear on Top of the Pops in 1985 for any of the songs from the Promise album, such as The Sweetest Taboo? I think the answer might be no because I can't find anything on RUclips. In fact I have a feeling Sade only appeared on Top of the Pops during 1984 for Your Love Is King (twice) and Smooth Operator. Maybe the group also appeared on TOTP for When Am I Going To Make A Living in May/June 1984 although I can't find that on RUclips at the moment.
yeah it was totps
Hi Mr. Cooke...just a question: who played the guitar in this studio recording??? (St.John or Matthewman)???
RAVING RUPERT _ WOW :)

This is the performance I did for the BBC TOTP's with the band in 1984, I was sacked from the band by the manager Lee Barrett in January 1984, but they asked me back to do this show for some strange reason?

If you want to read more about other Sade monkey business, representing me as Paul Cooke adding and 'e' to my name on all the album credits. Re-recording Smooth Operator in 1985 and 2001 to try and negate my claims to my original drum track? Not presenting my Triple Platinum discs from the BPI until the late 80's?

MY Sade Story read all about Sade, warts and all.:) at myebook
Were you in the same bed?
Yes I shared and slept in the same bedroom as Sade once with Mathewman lol in Vienna when we played the u4 club
Someone informed me the other day that Sade's latest album Soldier of Love was mediocre somewhat ironic isnt it guys:)
Sade once had the cheek to send me a postcard suggesting that she would have given a credit to me for Smooth Operator if I was a genuine writer. Yet she never wrote any part of Smooth Operator in the first place? But got 50% anyway as she was the singer and had the recording contract? Cheek of the devil:) Bless her cotton socks........but not white ones.
royalty payments, intellectual rights, artistic payments etc is a very complicated part of the music business and to be honest the musicians don't understand what is really happening that is why they get ripped off so much, and that is why management is full of criminals as they consider it "clean crime" no one gets hurt and no one goes to jail and the financial rewards are vast, but it destroys many artists, turning them to drink and drugs and in some cases suicide, Steve Marriot is a prime example turning out fantastic music but Rod Stewart sang for the same group and made millions, Rod had good legal advice and Steve didn't i guess,
So you finally got paid mr. Cooke?
I met her mother in London it was weird she was really white and middle class.

Thats right James our Gay - Drug dealing manager, and I don't mean that with any disrespect as it was a fact, did get the boot. A lot to do with the fact that he jumped out out of a car in Texas and Stuart Mathewman got arrested outside the hotel out of his tree? I did need a good witness statement from him in 96 when I took them all to court but he declined as he was just trying to reach an out of court settlement with the singer? She most probably made him sign a clause saying he couldn't offer any evidence to Paul Cook in the future:) But she did offer me 20.000 pounds in 1996 not to write my book on Sade:) I wrote the book!
This channel is for discussion about Sade and birdbrained comments from stupid Sade fans who cannot separate reality from fiction will not be responded to. You are welcome to your delusions and fantasies about Sade? Unfortunately she is not what she seems? Sorry to disappoint you.
