  • Smooth Operator est une chanson du groupe britannique Sade extraite de leur premier album Diamond Life. Elle est écrite par Sade Adu et Ray St. John. Elle est sortie le 3 septembre 1984 en tant que troisième single extrait de l'album. Il s'agit d'une ballade dans le style smooth jazz ou sophisti-pop. Le single est sorti aux États-Unis en février 1985 comme deuxième single américain de l'album. C'est le premier titre du groupe à atteindre le top 10 aux États-Unis, il a même atteint la place no 5 au Billboard Hot 100 pendant deux semaines en mai 1985. Il a également atteint la 9e place du Top 50 en France. Bien que Your Love Is King reste le single le mieux classé de Sade au Royaume-Uni à ce jour, Smooth Operator est le single de percée du groupe dans les classements américains, et leur single le plus réussi au niveau international. Smooth Operator signifie « charmeur » ou « manipulateur ». (fr)
