Sade - Frankie's First Affair (with lyrics)

[vandergraaf78]

In my humble opinion this song is the best thing which Sade ever recorded! Amazing tune. It's very underrated track.

[GR3AZYxJUICE]

this is my favorite song by her.

[Poetiksound85]

@MzLaLaLove do you have any tips to be a good writer .. im poetic but when it comes to writing a song i loss the very thought and progress to another project .. ADD maybe

[Poetiksound85]

I love this song .. this pic of her is beautiful .. sexy .. i used to have a neighbor who looked just like her & i had the biggest crush on her ..man ..what a lady

[zinniakhan92]

When I first heard this song, I though George Michael was singing it.

[NovaRemakes]

wheres the part drake sampled ????

[Rappatiligoe0419]

@NovaRemakes wrong song

[SuperCleanheart]

Sade writes beautifully, and she did not want to become a singer. But, thank God her band mates convinced her otherwise.

[basariji]

song is hot as hell

[dvdobregon]

She is as classy,SEXY as it gets!

[thepoopie2]

This song wasn't even a hit. People are is dumb. Her interpretation of how a women gets back at a man by having their own affair, is what all women should do. Frankie was just smarter than the rest of us. And Sade lyrics makes her actions have class and dignity.

[mikey007462]

i could listen to this song all day

[scp06cmb]

Easily the best song from this album.Too bad it never became a major hit.

[jimichild]

[hittzthagreat]

[kwkable11]

My girl Sade. It's funny that the songs that I really LOVE by her weren't singles, this being one of them.

[JKEE99]

I found this song on vinyl among my uncle's collection.

i especially love how she controls her voice at 2.30 - 2.32, that note is sublime...

Sade...she just makes me stop in my tracks to listen, whenever she is on

[hittzthagreat]

i have to get all of her cd's now, i bought the best of sade off of amazon and lovers rock...i felt bad for downloading Promise but im gonna get the cd and her whole collection very soon i love her music and im just 23..she was soo before her time its crazy, its 2010 and her albums blow anything thing thats out now out of the water!

[Scarabeus56]

Music of: "Sade - Frankie's First Affair" - Developing a good singing voice in her teens, Sade worked part-time jobs in and outside of the music business. She listened to Ray Charles, Nina Simone, Al Green, Aretha Franklin, and Billie Holliday. Sade studied fashion design at St. Martin's School of Art in London while also doing some modeling on the side.

[brandon32ify]

She is the best!!! I still kick myself in the back side for not going to see her in concert. It was either see her or play softball. We lost anyways. THis was 20 years ago.

[fightclub000]

@sungoodness lmao, yeah karma's a bitch Frankie!

[TheCancio68]

[tonyt73]

SEL500...way to represent it baby! Good job to you! Thanks!

I agree Sade is the epicenter for all things fabulous when it comes to music. I have been a loyal fan since I was 10! (that was 1984) :)

[kezzer2]

Isnt she so gorge..great track/post...cheats rot in hell!

[pimpedvw]

SADE is timeless.

[SEL500]

i was about 12 years old when I first heard Sade's music. Since then many many SO-called artists have come and Gone, But greats like Sade stay and just get better.....It makes me sooooo happy to know that I can relate to you writing those beautiful things about her......as a guy its so hard to try to convince people of her music.....only real appreciaters like yourselfs CAN....well done you and WELL DONE

Sade and the Band.......

[maryinblaque]

I was a little older when I first heard her, but when I did, I was hooked. I know everything she has ever done in her career. I have even been at one time, compared to looking like her a couple of years ago, that was an ultimate compliment.

[bukemaster]

well in that case i must propose marriage to you because you are a beauty indeed! write me please! with love ,brian

[los1975]

@maryinblaque

You sound beautiful. I would love to see a picture of you. But anyway, her music is classy, timeless, heartfelt, sexy, touches your heart like few.

[Khunyork]

Sade is 50 years now - like me - but I love her from the beginning - until now !

[g33mini]

beautiful queen I owe my mother for... playing her cassettes when I was growing up and I started to really hear her at Love Deluxe and went backwards enjoying all of her catalog...Oh her last tour I bought myself 2 tickets to see her in Chicago best birthday gift I ever gave myself!!! If she comes back you all MUST see her!!! Goddess is right.

[g33mini]

bella reina le debo a mi mami que me introducto a Sade!!

[queenlibya]

I remember when my aunt brought home the "Diamond Life" album and she played this song. I feel in love then, and I was only 5! She is one of the original goddesses of R&B!

[kppresent]

Saxaphone and piano are awesome on this video...... absolutely awesome. She has an awesome band behind her.

[sammeister1]

Stuart Matthewman on Guitar/Saxophone and Paul S Denman on Bass and Andrew Hale on Keyboards. Each very very good musicians that are often not fully credited in Sade's songs.

[tolgiatiDEX]

Stuart is FIRST on sax, then on guitar!

[jamardjk]

frankie........why

[areyoureadylondon]

O.M.G.!  Sade, hail to da queen of sultry, smooth vocals. Her voice resonates and soothes my spirit. This song is the ultimate! For years to enjoy! Thanks for posting this on you-tube, I will visit this religiously.

[MANILABOY6631]

[tanny1800]

Thanks for all the Sade music! Her voice. makes me soar to another place. We can all use that these days. Thanks again.....

[xstaci1988]

[sunflowermother]

The first time I heard the entire album I just met my husband. What a wonderful time and such great memeories. I love this song so much. It was so funny because at the time I listened to this album and this song so much that my husband asked me did I know a Frankie. Sade is amazing. Thanks for this great song and video. *)*

[shalula9]

[MANILABOY6631]

SADE, your songs are so full of meaning. I will never tire of listening to them. How i wish that we could talk sometime , i want to know what's on your mind, and what you have to say about the world now, . . a world that has lost so much love and beautiful songs . . so much war, hate and sadness. . .

[youngjay563]

wow it's true, I feel like Frankie right now :/

[envymeforgood]

wow what a beauty!

[junkanoo13]

my mother used to sing her songs all the time when i was growing up...i love her voice.

[smoothie6ft3]

This was the first song where Sade cut loose on the vocal range.The others on this album are more mellow.

[wandongluv]

I remember I wold sing this to my sister's boyfriend Franklin, haha - even though he had no affairs....

But this song is so awesome. AGELESS!!
