This was my favourite track from Pride the band that first hired Sade as a backing singer then we took the singer and formed her band Sade in 1982-1983. The band was quite large and never got a look in with a deal until we formed the smaller group and started writing songs with the singer Sade. Smooth Operator was actually called Diamond Life and Sade changed that Sade also used Diamond Life as the name for the first album:)

It's weird you didn't do well at the Hac, you (and early Sade) just sounded like the band Factory needed back then. They had ACR, Swamp Children (and Kalima), Quando Quango... I bet you knew those bands... ;)
I think you'd have become their biggest act after New Order, it would have become a great scene. But after all people in MCR didn't really care about the funk back then, it didn't have success with ACR, it was just with the Mondays because they were more laddish...

Yeah man you got it but we were ahead of the curve dont forget in London remember there was no house scene then, it was post disco studio 54 time, in fact i think Pride were one of the first groups to drive the bass drum just like we know today with the house thing. Yeah we liked ACR but again they had that funk thing going and we just used to drive the music forward on the beat most of the time. hey you can think me for that:) pc
