  Speaker 1: Music's lost history. Arrow Collins is back, back, back. Name
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: the artist before we tell you. Music's lost history. Hey,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: what's going on? Welcome back to Music's Lost History, the
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Artist's Edition. First, and embarrassingly, I admit that when this
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: artist first appeared on the American radio scene, I absolutely,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: without a doubt, destroyed their name. The pronunciation is everything
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: in that department of promotions. Now, get this, though. That
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: promotions department that I'm talking about isn't what put this
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: performer inside the global limelight, which is very rare. I mean,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: there are expectations an artist is supposed to meet with
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: continuous music, interviews, tours that never end, and of course,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the ever-popular reinvention process. More than that, this artist was
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: into something that really was very unknown. She built her
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: career on sophistication, emotional restraint, and unbelievable amounts of patience.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: She became a huge moment in music history without having
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: to act like that rock star. Before music, her love
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: and life was fashion. She was in total control of
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: that band's identity. And oh, those press photos had to
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: be a work of art and nothing less. She really
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: didn't need the 80s pop scene to get her higher
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: in that field called popularity. Name the artist before we do.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Here's one more clue. Coming up next, developing your own style.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: There are five things that you need to master. Aero Collins.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Music's lost history. Name the artist before we tell you.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Music's Lost History. Hey, thanks for coming back to Music's
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Lost History, the artist edition. Developing your own style. There
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: are five things that the average artist has got to master.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Or it's going to be one of those, who is
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: this again? When it comes to describing he or she
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: to the radio and MTV world. How about this for
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: this performer? Soul and R & B, jazz, fusion, instrumentation, sophistication, pop,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: smooth rhythms, and lyrics of love, loneliness, and vulnerability, as
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: well as betrayal. Dun, dun, dun, dun. What is this,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: a true crime novel? Who is this artist? She picked
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: up four Grammy Awards and created six studio albums. There
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: could have been more, but the physical cost of such
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: an adventure proved to be too much for her. Radio
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: absolutely loved her because this singer-songwriter's music easily fit into
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: every single format, and it worked in all time zones.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Her greatest victory is her heart. She never allowed the
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: music business to dictate that entire chapter. Her famous quote?
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Sometimes an artist will build longevity not by being everywhere,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: but by making people care. NewsX! The artist we're talking
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: about is Sade. I'm Arrow, and that's music's Lost History,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: The Artist Edition.
