英國歌壇神秘美人〔莎黛／Sade〕──高雅流行/輕爵士經典──描述國際花花公子行徑的〔Smooth Operator〕

〔Smooth Operator〕
Hes laughing with another girl
And playing with another heart.
Placing high stakes, making hearts ache.
Hes loved in seven languages.
Diamond nights and ruby lights, high in the sky.
Heaven help him, when he falls.

Diamond life, lover boy.
We move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy.
City lights and business nights.
When you require streetcar desire for higher heights.

No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
When sentiment is left to chance.
No place to be ending but somewhere to start.

No need to ask.
Hes a smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator.

Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male.
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale.

Face to face, each classic case.
We shadow box and double cross,
Yet need the chase.

A license to love, insurance to hold.
Melts all your memories and change into gold.
His eyes are like angels but his heart is cold.

No need to ask.
Hes a smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator.

Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male.
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale.

Smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator...

Hes laughing with another girl
And playing with another heart.
Placing high stakes, making hearts ache.
Hes loved in seven languages.
Diamond nights and ruby lights, high in the sky.
Heaven help him, when he falls.

莎黛（Sade）其實是一女三男組成的樂團

但卻時常被美麗的女主唱Sade Adu蓋過其光芒

１９８４年２月　莎黛在推出首支單曲〔Your Love is King〕

拿下英國榜＃６　打響其名氣

７月發行第一張大碟〔Diamond Life／鑽石生活〕　登上亞軍　單在英國就賣了４白金（＞１２０萬張）　並暢銷全歐

接下來莎黛又推出〔When Am I Going To Make A Living〕〔Hang On To Your Love〕為主打

１９８４年９月　〔Smooth Operator／溫柔的接線生〕成為專輯第四首單曲

此曲由莎黛跟她以前所待的樂團‘Pride’成員在１９８２年譜寫　但沒灌錄

結果收在１９８４年的專輯

〔Smooth Operator／溫柔的接線生〕描述某位國際花花公子的糜爛生活

他騙曲女性的感情與金錢為生
這首歌曲將Pop, AC, Jazz做了相當出色的結合
打擊樂器的採用讓它帶有濃厚的拉丁味
貫穿全曲的薩克司風則添加了浪漫的氣息
在莎黛有如蘇格蘭絨般柔軟嗓音的詮釋下
讓　〔Smooth Operator／溫柔的接線生〕洋溢著一股性感慵懶的風情
此曲在英國拿到＃１９　法國＃９　德國＃１１　奧地利＃１２　瑞士＃１４　愛爾蘭＃１７　荷蘭＃１９　　也是他們在國際市場最成功的單曲
