Courtesy of mis padres, I stumbled upon a vinyl entitled Promise. It's artist is Sade. We know her from songs like Sweetest Taboo, Ordinary Love, and the famous Smooth Operator. She was a huge artist in the mid 80's to the early 90's, recording and touring with her band of the same name.
The music is heavily rooted in jazz and takes on some of the early characteristics of what we consider today to be classic R&B. Today's Throwback Thursday song is a little known gem by 20-something and younger, yet is a miraculous opener to a wonderful album.
The video is very 80's-esq, but weaves a story around a wonderful song. Enjoy.
