She hasn’t aged a day!
I love “In Another Time”. Wow!!!! Go to LaLa.com and you can listen to all songs, once. If you sign up for an account, they will give you 20 free web songs of your choice.

I have all of Sade’s earlier albums, plus a video. Sade’s music (including her vocals and the band’s playing) always was tasteful and classy, imho, refreshing compared to the popular music out there at the time.
LOLOLOL....
but the lyrics are so sad sometimes
she is hot
