It all kicked off in Hull ft Paul Cooke and Paul Denman from Sade

We are still live for pledges from the general public in my 2024 case against Sade and Sony at Crowdjustice www.crowdjustice.com/case/sad...
Please support my case so that justice can be served in the courts and I can regain the rights to my music performances stolen from me in 1983 by all concerned.
This video is all about Paul Cooke and Paul Denman originally from Hull band 'The Posers' who took London by storm in the 1980's and formed one of the biggest bands of all time Sade and subsequently went onto help write, produce and record the bands biggest and most successful album of all time, Diamond Life.
Paul Anthony Cooke established his 11 piece latin jazz group Esposito in 1984 year 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.

Music is dirty job. I was 24 years old fretless bass genius, but rotten people killed my carrer. But.... Life is many roads.
