This song has Prince's fingerprints all over it. One of my favorite songs from the 80s.
Prince wrote the song.
You don't hear his voice in the background!!!!!
The choreography in the video is all Prince too.
Yeah and he had his fingerprints over her 😜
I thought it sounded familiar and didn't know why. I played it on repeat and looking at her gestures and dance moves again, it looked even more familiar and then I went to look for the lyrics and saw that Prince wrote the song. Doooh! Now I know why 😁
The Year 1984 .We Had Michael Jackson, Sheila E ,Prince, Lionel Richie, Tina Turner ,Irene Cara ,Morris Day And The Time, Luther Vandross, Denice Williams, Cameo, The Pointer Sisters, Boy George, Hall And Oates, Debarge ,Obryan, Stevie Wonder, Too Many To Name. Great Year In Music 🎶
I was born in 84. What a great year for music.
peter wolf, billy squier steve perry
And Kool and the gang
Born 1974. This was one of my favorite songs. I miss the 80’s. 😢
Same here born 1974 and also miss the 80's we had the best music in history
Prince encouraged and promoted female musicians. Always ahead of his time 💜
I saw her & Prince live....truly unforgettable for this old person.
4out
And cha cha with them people on the street 😊🎉🎉
Yeah, promoted them right to his bed too 😂
@@LeTrashPanda Wish I saw with you Prince and Sheila E must had been amazing
this song is dam near 40 years old.
still banging
You know she doesn't need a mans touch.........
As Is Sheila Herself
Absolutely💯
Seen her a couple years ago she’s still 🥁💃
Classic
No-one gives Sheila E enough credit. She's brilliant! 5 decades!!!! 🥁🤟🎵
Saw a video of her the other day at the store with her son, looks great!!!!
This is all Prince that's why
When this song first came out, I heard it so many times on MTV and the radio it was humming in my head all day during my freshman year in high school. 😁😎
I give Shiela E Lots of credits
Prince is in Heaven
Sheila is one hell of a talented woman in her own right! And beautiful too.
Graduated college in 1983. Served in thr army as an officer 1983-1986. Lived the 80s in the prime of my life. Great song. If your feet's aren't moving, call 911.
She tore this song all the way up. Imagine being in rhe 80s and this came on in the club! My God. I know the dancers went off!
You are CORRECT!
She helped to end the Disco era ; )
Absolutely.
We sure did!!
We did!
I love this song. Shelia E. Was jamming on this song. She was the female version of Prince. They were perfect together! Rip Prince.
the finger print Prince put on music from the '80's forward was huge. And yes, i too was one of those guys with a crush on Sheila E. so thanks for that too Prince
I just thought the exact same thing. So it's true then.
@Denise Williamson You are SO correct: both Prince AND Sheila E. did great songs on their own, but when they got together, they REALLY made unforgettable music! How I wish that Prince was still with us!

I want to go back in time and stay there!!
This will always be a classic! 2024
LEGENDARY. That cymbal kick still gets me almost 40 years later. Pure talent and appeal. Sheila was (and still is) it, man. Incredible.
Yes Lord Shelia e
I've legitimately been stuck on watching this video for about 5 months now. She's just such a badass. And those moves with all of them simultaneously. Nice camera work. Etc. Yeah- Great video and great lyrics in my opinion.
only LEGENDARY 80's And Bad Ass 80's Vocals 💪🏿❤️👑💐
Oh Shelia 😂
And don't forget how she could bounce a stick off a drum head then catch it! ❤
Her percussion had such chaotic energy! Her and Prince together was a force to be reckoned with!!
I wholeheartedly agree. 🙂
AMEN
You should see her father, Pete Escovedo - legend.
All day Facts💯💯💯
Another prince production
The way you can hear the underlying track of Prince singing along. This is such an underappreciated song. Pure greatness.
The Glamorous Life is A VERY UNDERRATED SONG and it is A SONG ABOUT LIFE!!!
Yep, his distinct vocal is panned off-center left in the background.
Omg, thank you.
Back when you had talent, no voice alterations, filters. You sang and played and that was enough.
Well Said
Or Autotune
They did use voice alterations lol. You can actually here it 😂. However, they were definitely talented.
Prince singing wit her…y can hear it
Amen
Here in 2024…. 40 yrs later. Still 🔥🔥🔥
Me too!🌟😎
Sensuality and sex appeal absolutely poured outta Shelia E. Her eyes, mannerisms, the way she carried herself... She wasn't overt or sleezy. She kept it classy and was still sexier than a lot of others who didn't.
Classy
You couldn't be more right! She was & still is a Goddess.
Her and Prince look like they could've been brother and sister.☺💙🎶
Well said 😉
Absolutely.
I was born in 1982. I remember my mom cleaning the house dancing like the queen she is to this masterpiece. 😊
Me 85 an mama played this everyday cause I heard it one time n I was hooked I'm playing it now on repeat
Born in 80 and I do it now....miss this type of artistry
Blah you 80s babies don't know anything. I'm a 70s baby...I LIVED THIS!
@@BrickCityBella 😂😂😂
@@ChocTy80 😁😄
"Big thoughts.. big dreams.. and a big brown Mercedes sadaaann" I love that line ❤
The Mercedes being brown is sooo 80s luxury lol❤
She can sing
She can dance
She can rock the house
And she's gorgeous
The 80s are incomparable
Damn good drummer too
great music, horrible fashion, greed took center stage as something to be celebrated & indulged in unashamedly well, look where that's gotten us
For real incomparable on all levels . Its Friday & the vibe is like a stormy monday . People are the walking lost dead now!!!!😪😪
This was before when Won they would never stepped outside & they decided that
The will never step outside looking like prostitutes
And she holds the key to Prince's Vault, too...
When MTV was dope!!
Yes
Yes, big time now it just sucks. Yes, I will admit it I have this song on my IPOD.
And we were all smoking dope.
@@timishere1925 Not I. . .
Spittin' TRUTH!!
that's it I'm throwing an 80's party
I wanna go!!🎉💃
Invite?😄
Can I come? Let’s dance 💃🏽
I will bring the Cocaine to your party so that we can all party like its the 80s
Invite?
I was in the 10th grade when this song came out. Smooth nights at a friend's house, going skating, or being at movies will always remind me that I grew up as a teenager in the best decade!💪💯
Cherish those memories of having fun!!
No Doubt about that indeed! I can definitely relate to that. Lol, those were DEFINITELY the "good ole days", as they say. Lol!!!
Another BAD ASS FUNKY ASS JAM From Back In The Day That Still Stands Up IN 2024!!!
I had forgotten how good this jam was. She can really play those drums. Really big sound. She kicks that cymbal like "Bam!" Too hot!🔥
She was even better live, IMO. As good as this video was, it doesn't fully do her drumming and dancing skills justice.
Ok popp0000000pp
A
Hot Babe!!!
"She wears a long fur coat of mink, even in the summer time." The 80s had its own cool.
The golddigger who this song reminds me of did, in fact, wear a long fur mink coat in the summertime in Manhattan. She was 18, grew up poor, he was a millionaire.
@@raygordonteacheschess5501 Wanting a better life doesn't make you a gold digger. It's make you smart. Poverty is its own destruction.
Own cool, for the old school! 😁💃
@@raygordonteacheschess5501 you we're speakin on this here person like she was digging gold out of you. Nonetheless, what made her a gold digger? I'm sure he was askin for sexual favors, considerin her age. So, in turn she was askin for material things-This, seem to be the narrative.
@@imnetworking2k12 You just described a gold digger. It's not a the end of the world to call what you described for what it is. Going out with a person just for money is gold digging. lol narrative?
this song doesn't need any more cowbell. It's perfect.
+ Tim D Chistopher Watkins would disagree !!!! LOL. Needs MORE cowbells.
it's just not sexy enough, where, WHERE is the passion lol
MORE COWBELLS CHRISTOPHER WALKEN 😂
@@nadiradutt8470 I was about to type the same thing till I saw your comment!!🤣🤣🤣
Lol....classic
Watching this in 2024
Here!!!
Yes!
Legend. A women who stood next to Prince and brought it musically. Damn my respect ❤️
They wore each other's underwear.
@@seanfoy285 what does that have to do with anything
@@seanfoy285 how the hell do you know? You swapped with them? If you didn't have anything to say worth a damned, shouldn't have posted!
She had a BAD AZZ FATHER to teach her... Prince recorded and wrote some of his best shh right there at Sheilas house in the basement.. Pete Escovito is a VET at being a A1 musician. It only Right his daughter can hang with Prince.💯🌉
Man= one male; men = more than one male, so woman= one female, and women = more than one female
My man on the clarinet knew this was his time to shine.
He did his thing very sexy..and Glamorous..❤️
😂😂
Tenor sax lol
@@batgirlp5561 its actually a soprano
Not a clarinet. It's a Soprano Saxophone😉. . .
I feel like we dont give her enough props for being way ahead of the game.
💯
I always loved her
We didn't. Hopefully she will be appreciated more in the modern era, I'll never forget seeing her play with Prince in concert.
I saw her live at the Howard Theatre in Washington, DC, 4 weeks ago. Trust me, she's only gotten better, & the band she tours with is incredible, too. She evolved her sound into a jazz dynamo but she still lives & loves the soul & rock.
I did 😂one of the hottest acts ever !
I love the eighties music! The videos!The clothing, the hairstyles, the dance! It was so perfectly entertainy! Key word: Creativity!
The '80s were so awesome!
Thank you Prince for Sheila E.
YEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Thank Sheila's father who was a musician the renowned Pete Escovedo! Prince had nothing to do with her talent other than knowing her!
@vincespell You sound crazy as hell..Prince is the one who got her the record deal and wrote and produced her biggest damn song ..Thats what he means. If it wasn't for Prince Sheila E. would have just been a session musician
I love how Prince's fingerprints are all over this song, the wardrobe, the visuals, etc. He really was a trendsetter. You knew if someone was associated with Prince or was trying to imitate...lol!
Listen to the Prince Originals CD
First thing that came to mind!
After all he did write the song
Ready for the world, oh shelia……definitely trying to mimic prince
That's not the only place his finger prints were !
The best era of all time 💯
Shelia E is the female version of Prince, her drumming is amazing.
LONG before Prince entered Shelia's life. she was already a fantastic musician. Shelia comes from a TOP musical/musician family.
Sheila Her Family Dad ok her music abilities . Pete Awesome Dad Ok .
When saw her episode of Unsung, I never realized how much a toll drumming took on her, but yet she STILL PLAYED...she only stopped bc she was on the brink of paralysis from her spine being messed up (drumming long hours plus the high heels)....now THAT'S dedication 😊
@@rosejones9978 Phil Collins, too.
"She saw him standing in the section marked :If You Have To Ask,You Can't Afford It" Lingere".Who else would write something like that?What a legend! I am 45 so I was able to see MTV in its prime.I miss him!
Does anyone understand how talented this woman is...the beauty is just a plus. How many ppl do u know who can tear up drumsticks like this, sing, throw them in the air and stay on beat? They don't appreciate men and women like her enough and it's sad. Instead they have these manufactured, studio chicks like Beyonce. Look at this woman...just look at her! God gifted.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I so agree with you and am double pleased that you called out the main example of popularity over-hype.
Talent over packaging and promotion.
So true
I was seriously to young to have a crush on her when I first seen Crush groove at the age of 10
Was loving your comment until you fell into the same ol tired Beyonce hater bandwagon. When are y’all gonna learn you can praise an artist without having to compare them to another, esp Beyoncé. Are they not good enough to stand on their own merit?
She just killed it on AGT!!!! She is an ICON
Vanity was gorgeous but Sheila was right there with her. Beautiful.
That "CLAP!" on the backing drum just does it for me.
Yep. That CLASSIC Linn Drum sound that Prince made all his own back in the '80s.
Sheila E is a legend!!
With all due respect, one hit song doesn't make you a "legend".
@@kvernon1
She had other hits.
She's not a one hit wonder
The percussions on this song are totally unreal. It low-key turns the song from great to a classic.
PRINCE wrote this song and damn what a song it is !!!
“Boys with small talk and small minds really don’t impress me in bed.” - Sheila E.
Best line EVER!!!
Sheila E. SPOKE FOR MANY WOMEN with these very POTENT WORDS!!!
so you got a car . . . Thelma and Louse met Sheila and Shania lol
It is the truth! You must be able to make love to someone’s mind as well as their body to have a meaningful relationship
@@overcomerbtbojesus My former boyfriend Dean and i. My How Much i Miss him.
@@tonyfriend7413Dean was wearing skinny jeans BEFORE they were trendy......😅😅😅😅😅😅
Listen closely and you can hear Prince with the backing vocals.
He's the one that wrote the song.
@@Ozzy242 I was thinking that this reminded me of a Prince song. Including the choreography.
Didn't Prince Date Sheila E?
I hear him
@@the.penthouse---barre6792 he dated everyone he put on
The way she beats the drum drives me crazy, 80s for life
We did her show in Peachtree City, Georgia and she signed my crew pass! Her and her band were amazing! So much energy. She's still as youthful and vibrant as ever!
If you have hi-def, noise cancellation headphones, you can hear Prince singing the lyrics for timing. Shout out to the band for jamming it up too. Classic's Crate.
Prince' DNA written all over this jam
this song was everything back in the day!
もう少しで600万回再生！！！
しかし、こんなイイ曲って考えると、600万回でも少なすぎるくらいだ。
カッコいいですよね～何回も観てます!
I remember my cousin who is a drummer - a big guy - was at her concert at this time and said he was amazed at her stamina and how hard she hit those cymbals. He called her a skinny little thing and fell in love with her right then.
Daaaannnng Sheila E was baad back in the day, reeeealll music.Thats right.
Prince's harmony on the song is subtle, but it's there if you really listen. They performed this together on one of the Latin award shows and it was extremely well-received.
Great song....... gorgeous lady
Her one handed cowbell is the most impressive percussion performance I’ve ever seen
lol ffs calm down
@@Captain_Rhodes 😂😂😂 I may have been intoxicated when I wrote that
Oh my God. I can’t take it anymore. I’m devastated I’ll never be able to actually live the 80s.
Yeah, you missed it. Back then you have to have talent to even get a record deal to begin with.
Dang! Still love the percussion and beats of this song...80's music 4ever!
This song came out in 1984 that was the best year for music.
Listen closely and you can hear Prince singing along with her.
I played this in my junior high school band with my baritone horn. The bass parts are awesome!!
I agree with your statement.
Cool
lmao I played trumpet and baritone love playing this song
Still to this day this song on repeat 80s music ruled now days music hella watered down it's sad
I saw her post on IG about not being recognized. Unfortunately I had no idea she sung this till today. Always loved this song. Thought a dude sung this.
"Love is forever. That's all your life. Love is heaven sent. It's GLAMOROUS!" Long live Prince Rogers Nelson. Sheila E., you're fire, girl!!!
One of the reasons I play percussion, Sheila is such an inspiration. She does what no one has done, such a true individualistic artiste
So blessed to be part of the 80s music.
Quite possibly the absolute BEST drummer of the 80's!
My mommy loved this jam! I loved it too. My little self following my mommy. Didn’t know what a gem it was!! Glad I still have a ear for great music! RIH mommy!!
Love how music connects us with memories...
Me and your mom!!!
May your mom Rest In Peace but still listening to this great hit!!
No one else could have done this song justice like my girl, Sheila E.
Sheila we will always love you ! 😍
The fact that Shelia E. has her siblings in the band and video shows the entire family's talent.
I love this jam!!
Sheila E & Prince are LEGENDS!!
Man I would give anything to go back to the 80's, those were the best times of my life!!
Sheila's talent and beauty are unquestionable... But the amazing thing about her is how precise she is in her choreography in this video! She commands her physical space. Wildly underrated as an entertainer ❤️
+1 I am mesmerized by her stage presence. I've watched her live in other videos, the same is true in live performances. Also didn't realize her dad/brother/ were the Escovdeos. Her uncle is Tito Puente, hence the killer drumming.
She does all that, while keeping rhythm and in heels.
@@sarahmarrero5386 a true Latina 👏
Man touch.
This was such a jam back in the '80s. Sheila E is so talented!! Love her! ❤
Music used to be so beautiful! 💖
Prince's Purple Rain concert was my first and still to this day the best concert I ever attended (I was 12). Sheila E. did her thang. Her set was fire!!!!
YOU KNOW IT! PURPLE RAIN WAS MY VERY first concert, too. ABSOLUTELY the BEST...(&Sheila E. upstaged Prince. Yeah...no doubt that HE was excellent of course. I just had never seen a woman be so fierce, so talented, so smokin' hot and so unapologetically "OWNING IT!"
Ouuuu I wish I was alive during that time‼️ just said I should of been born in the 80’s, the music is just everything. I just woke up & had to listen to this before I do anything else
I was there too and her and the Time were amazing!
Flowers fell from the ceiling 🌼 🌸 for his show here in Memphis 💜
Same here! It was my first concert at 12 years old, February 1985, Daly City, CA!
Remember when music told a story but was also fun
Those were the days...
💯🙏
Her famous father played on santana albulms
Prince was that rare man who gave more than he took may he rest in peace
Yessssss
Fun fact: The guy on the sax is really Sheila’s brother Peter Michael who is Nicole Ritchie’s biological father. The girl on guitar is Sheila’s sister Zina & the guy on keyboard in the red shirt is her brother Juan. Love the nepotism 👍🏾
The Sheila E mall video brought me back here!
Me too!😂
@@ValenciaGamble 🙌🏾🤣
SHE was my favorite of all of prince,s women!! BAD ass all on her OWN! ALSO loved LISA,WENDY, and TEENA MARIE, a protegee of RICK JAMES! GREAT ,hot, 80,s girls!! confident,talented, and still today, no female music star ,plays her own drums!
The Baddest Female Drummer I have ever seen ❤️
Best female drummer ever!
Let's not forget Karen Carpenter.
The One and Only Ms. Sheila E. Great Tune and the words ring True in 2022
A Little Drummer Lady.
Those were the days!!!
YEP!!!!!!
For sure!
In a black skin tight jumpsuit. 😆This was my go to jam on the dance floor
@@keepcalmmom I bet those were good times!! I often think... if I could travel back in time, would I go? My only hesitation is because I'm afraid if i did, that I'd miss it even more once i came back to the present. I've had a good life so far, but those years..... they were the best of the best.
I wouldn't want to travel back from the good old days 🥰🥰 @Rhonda😘
My mom swore she was Shelia E back in the day 😂 They do favor A LOT.
Then you must got one hot mama

Sheila E is a legend and the song the Glamorous Life Rules
TODAY IN MUSIC HISTORY
MAY 2, 1984
40 years ago today, Shelia E. released the single "The Glamorous Life." Written by Prince, the song earned 2 Grammy nominations and peaked at #7 on the Billboard Hot 100
[05/02/2024]
Man, why did I miss that highlight? Anyway, thanks for that highlight!
Sheila E is still absolutely beautiful and so talented as a percussionist.
Sheila E: singing, dancing, and playing FIERCE drums in stiletto heels-- I miss the 80's!
Alot salty people here but none of you has Sheila's Talent
Prince was an ALIEN!
He has gone back to his home planet.
Sheila E. Thanks for all the fevers I got back in the 80s after watching your videos.
Hi Amando,hope you’re okay ?
One of the many gems 💎 Prince left for us to enjoy for the rest of our lives. I’m so glad I was a teenager in the 80’s. The best decade of my life 💜💜💜 Can’t believe it’s already been 5 years since we lost the Purple One ☝️ RIP Prince 🍃🍃🕊🙏🏼💔
Hi Auntie,hope you’re okay ?
@@davidtaylor524 I’m ok

Still bumping this in 2024
She’s always been a legend! Just like her daddy! 🇵🇷
She is Mexican not Puerto Rican
The queen of percussion!
Yes
And by a huge margin.
Like many of Prince's protegees, she had a thin voice but the showmanship and drumming talent made up for it 1000 times over. Oh, Sheila! You rock!
Including Janet Jackson.
Sheila E. is even more bada$$... Brains, talent and beauty! 👑
The baddest chick to ever pick up a pair of sticks and lay it down on the drums.
Prince is why I became a musician, Sheila E is why I play drums
