- "The Glamorous Life" proved to be a major solo breakout for Sheila E. in 1984. The classic pop track was one of her man collaborations with the legendary Prince, but Sheila E. already had a long history of playing with legends.
Sheila E. joins host Peter Csathy on the 13th episode of The Story Behind the Song to discuss how "The Glamorous Life" helped put her front-and-center for the first time. She talks about working with Prince and trying to outdo each other as they wrote, played, and sang in the studio. She also shares insights on a personal selection from her catalog: her recent salsa collab with B. Slade, "Bailar." Throughout the interview, Sheila E. shares personal stories about working with other legends, and discusses how she persevered when pursuing her passion for percussion in a world of frequent artistic male prejudice.

Sheila E is truly an incredibly gifted and intuitive artist whom I respect and admire for her musicianship and as a human being. She is blessed to be from a musical family and to have the support of the music community around her. She represents Oakland positively with love and joy! 🙏🫶
Wow, glad to hear the story of how Sheila E came up with the hit The Glamorous Life which actually came from Prince who went under alias Jamie Starr/ The Starr Company
She's still the greatest ..... My teenage crush on her has never faded .....💓💓💓
I saw Sheila when she toured with Ringo in Boston. She did a mind blowing drum solo for many minutes, incredibleeeee!!!! super talented. Thanks for the moment and for accompanying in great style the All Starr Band Love you Sheila🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
She's a Legend Incon and My inspiration at 50 to start beginning to learn how to play the drums. My bestie rented an electric drum set. Her fiance and her want me in their band.
I LOVE SHEILA!! She is truly one of the hardest working musician out there. She doesnt flaunt it either. A true musician! I just learned she is playing percussion on Beyonces track, CUFF , her latest album!
Great interview! I’ve seen Sheila E. live so many times…she is the best! What a strong, wonderful role model for all women! Thank you for the music and the memories!

“There is no other, that is what I’m saying”. -Sheila E.
What an amazing interview. Thank you for sharing it was great to hear Ms. Sheila E amazing journey through out the years people she worked with wow what an amazing career she has & still going strong. Stay safe bless and healthy Ms. Shelia E.💜💞💜
Shelia is the main reason I love and play timbales
Apollonia who co-starred with Prince said she had something to do with the song lyrically. Prince probably took ideas but never credited people. But, I wasn't there. So I see it as a Prince and Sheila E. I saw her live back in 1987 on drums in Prince's Band for his"Sign O the Times". Sheila probably got the years wrong. I know in 1978 his debut album came out. He locked the deal with Warner Bros. in 1977. She said when she met him his hair was straightened already. He had a Afro in that poster she was talking about. Plus she and Prince were lovers as well. So there was a lot of chemistry.
Lovers? It's said that he proposed to her in concert! Stayed together a year around '88. Prince truly a minister of badness! Haha
@@jasfan8247 Yeah, she said he proposed to her on the " LoveSexy" tour back in 88.
@@garfieldharrison510 What a trip. Never heard this before. I can't keep track of all his "ladies". I didn't think he could pick her. ("U got the look" is a give away, realise now she played on it-it's about Sheila-not Sheena) It's said their engagement lasted about year. She's quick on the feet! It would have been fair to have Sheila on the LoveSexy cover. "Two Vigins"/"Love Cymbal" style.
I got chills listening to her out of body experience at 15! 😭😭
Adore Sheila E and i adore salsa and salsa dancing
Sheila e the one and the only glamous life drum Queen

I use to sceard no more
If you go online ( RUclips) there is a demo version of Glamorus Life with Prince singing the whole song. I don’t believe her version . Why would he make demo if they worked on it together. She probably added her drum parts .
Yes, I reckon you're right. I think that he totally wrote it and did the demo and she came in afterwards and put her vocals and percussion on it. 🙂
Playerhood part off life
Resolved problems of to it like switch to light
Amazing that even with the original base version of this song completely done solo by Prince (vocals and all) having been released in 2020 she is still overstating her involvement with the composition and production. She sang lead vocals and added percussion and every else is Prince. How hard can it be to just admit that? It wouldn't make her any less talented or legendary for that matter.
you were there?
College of correct study of worte of serious

Skip to 16:30 to get to the subject. IMO she’s hyping up her contribution and toning down Prince’s
Typical Sheila…
I heard The Revolution and Apollonia don’t get along with Her at all. And even Prince and Her hadn’t spoke in years before His Death. She’s going to hype Herself more than actually was doing.
Lord the Prince fans are out here cutting up as usual, ya'll leave Sheila alone and let her be great.
@@erictalbert4633Apple-Phoni is just a hater and wishes she had a career like Sheila’s . I can see why the revolution doesn’t like her because she literally out worked them and took the spotlight . I have heard of prince not talking to her either because of money that he donated for some charity but didn’t see where it was going. No doubt in my mind Sheila and prince had many great moments but like all friendships and relationships sometimes people grow in different directions my mistakes and bad decisions. The real question I would want to ask Sheila E. is the truth of what happened

Of set up correct to make not oppressive
People yes respect Babyface pink smart
She just looks like a totally different person from when she was younger like her nose is so large now her nose was much smaller and her features were more keener even her eyes are different from then I love her music but just curious about her looking totally different now and I’m not talking about age wise either just look back at her video glamorous life then look at her now on this she really looks like a different person 🤷🏽♀️👀🤔
We all age & as we do, our features change.

Bed not way work
Its been bad
I find it interesting how she keeps trying to insinuate that she was on par with Prince, when clearly that was not the case. If that was so, she would have had a longer solo career and not been a part of Princes band at one point. Not to mention her band members leaving her for Prince. Just look at her costuming and look, they were right out of Princes book. There is nothing wrong with coming in second to Prince. He is one of a kind. Makes me wonder of those things Apollonia accused Sheila for were true?
I'm still waiting on her to just say PRINCE wrote the dang song Glamorous Life. She was talking too much.
@@victorsanders9750 100%
My hope for her is she stop promoting herself & reminiscing about Prince. I thought them both talented but I pray she promote Jesus Christ.
@@sil8446 There is no hate. Her behaviour after his passing is suspect and has even been called out by Apolonia. So please stop with the nonsense, I was simply calling out her BS remarks. No on said she wasn't talented.
She only had 2 hits??huh!
