No, the singer Sade is not Ethiopian. She was born Helen Folasade Adu in Nigeria to a Nigerian father and a British mother. Sade is known for her smooth jazz and soul music and has gained international acclaim.
'Missing', written and recorded by the English duo Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt aka 'Everything but the girl' in 1994, and a big international hit. Lots of people seem to think the song, particularly the dance re-mix, was actually called 'And I miss you' and was written and performed by Sade, the (also British) band fronted by Helen Folasade Adu (herself better known as Sade) - perhaps because Tracey Thorn and Helen Adu have quite similar voices! There are lyrics for the song on the net titled variously 'Missing', 'And I miss you', 'Like the deserts miss the rain' etc., and attributed to Everything but the girl, Thorn & Watt, and Paul Denman, Stuart Matthewman, Helen Adu and Andrew Hale, i.e. the group Sade.
