David A (UK) said: "Sunny Ade - This is one of his greatest Albums. It has to be rated alongside "Syncro System", and "The Message". Great Funky, Melody, African Soul Music. I think I must have returned to the UK when he released this album. When I asked one of my Aunt's in Nigeria about Sunny Ade, they said his album "Sweet Banana" was breaking Sales in Nigeria and it was being played a lot at parties and social events."
special thanks to Global Groove for posting the files for this music:

I have listened to different cuts of this album, many come with breaks in rhythm and beats, this is the complete one. Ose babami.

I am sitting here and suddenly done on me how Sunny Ade was part of my DNA and having download of memory. Obviously, groovemonzter had tried but no one can ever have complete works..I am remember the track....Odun titun..allelua a sope, kasi mayo. Another Igbagbo mi duro lori apata. another Kini ayo re nigbati Jesus de o..kini ayo re, ore sofun mi..haaa

@Anonymous - I've been searching and wondering about the album "the message" as well. I have been told that it is one of KSA's finest. I was also outbid on it once on ebay. If and when I get the files for it.. I'll post it.. promise. Cole
yo, splendid blog this. splendid!
and this top five album list was good.
I almost agree on them albums.
But I would put in king sunny ade's most experimental and far out album: "The Royal sound"
peace to all.
