Talk:King Sunny Adé

Tone (2009)

The tone of this article needs to be addressed; it is far too sycophantic, esp. towards the end. Feel free to delete this message after fixing. --Adoniscik^{(t, c)} 01:17, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree. This sounds like it was written by a determined fan or an egomaniac giving himself credit. Many of the outlandish statements are subjective opinions with no references made. wjs, 13:07, 24 February 2009.

Trey Anastasio quote

"Trey Anastasio, American guitarist, composer and one of his devout followers, once said, "If you come to see Sunny Adé live, you must be prepared to groove all night.'" This quote has been prominently displayed in the article for over five years, and it seems to be found abundantly now throughout the Internet. But I cannot locate any sources for it that predate its introduction by an anonymous editor on 6 February 2008. Reluctantly I've added a CN tag to it: can anyone provide a source?

Grammy awards not listed

There is a section called Grammy Awards with no mention of actual Grammy awards received. Just mention of a nomination. That's nice but it's definitely NOT a Grammy.
