Tell me about it! Time to wake up or what? :) I just never associated
the name with "Smooth Operator." "This is No Ordinary love" and some
other number I heard were really smooth with a laid back funkiness. Does

Hehehe... I think I'll pick up Sade's Greatest Hits or whatever it's
called and suck on that smooth sound. :)
