Ahead of the 75th birthday of music giant, King Sunny Ade, a journalist has paid him a special tribute in a single titled ‘Dancing Mood’.
The journalist, Mrs Dupe Olaoye-Osinkolu, popularly known as Mama Labour, earlier mentioned in one of her music tracks, E-Melody, that King Sunny Ade inspired her. She recalled that she was encouraged by KSA when her first album, ‘Lagode Kuramo’, was presented to him at a function.
“He prayed for me and gave me money to encourage me when Alhaji Wahab Oba, former Lagos NUJ Chairman presented my album to him in Lagos,” she said.
According to Olaoye-Osinkolu, KSA inspired her as a very little girl, much so that she saw singing as a goal she must achieve.
The E- Melody crooner described KSA as a philosopher whose music has touched lives positively over the years. She prayed that God spare his life to live beyond his centenary birthday.
