Definitely she's hall of fame worthy for playing those instruments I think she is considered under the same umbrella as the Minneapolis sound even though her music has a little salsa / Latin flavor to it
This was written by Prince and he sings back up. Shelia E was a drummer in his band and a fabulous percussionist. Both Shelia E and Sheena Easton were in the U Got the Look video. You guys need to check out The Glamorous Life by Shelia E next. It was another huge hit.
Well, HERE we ARE... Back in the day, that was the first time I heard the term "3-way" with no idea what it meant. But now, lookin' back...Prince with BOTH of them....mmmm DAMN!

Can you hear Prince in the background vocals? He is ALL OVER THIS SONG! I love Shelia E. I use to be a flight attendant, and one night I had a passenger in first class flying from Phoenix to LA, by the name of Shelia Escovedo. Well I didn’t put two and two together until I went to her seat and asked her if she would like a pre departure cocktail…so, I’m looking at the passenger manifest, and I see her name and then see her face under a huge white large round brim hat and I about choked on my tongue! I said wait….hold on…Ms Shelia E?!?!?! I told her how much I loved her and her music and she was SO SO SO SO FREAKING NICE!!!! She called me baby…lol! She took pics with me!!!! She was the nicest celebrity I ever had in my first class!
Sheila E. joined Prince's backing band as their romance grew, and as she recalled in a 2016 Billboard interview, they became briefly engaged after Prince proposed in 1987. However, by the 1988-89 Lovesexy Tour their relationship fractured, and Sheila E. subsequently left Prince and the band once it came to a close. Sheila Cecilia Escovedo went on to have a solo career. Her dad was a musician, as well.
Her father, her uncle, her brothers.. the entire Escovedo family is legendary! Also Tito Puente was Shelia's godfather. She's Latin music royalty! She also played with the legendary George Duke years before Prince.
Xanda Tonge You’re right she was involved with other artists before Prince. She also played/toured with California band Con Funk Shun. You can hear her playing on their song “When the. Feelings Right,” she has a brief solo, you definitely can tell her sound.
@@caseymoe816 and don't forget alt-country artist Alejandro Escovedo & also Nicole Ritchie was born an Escovedo too...Sheila is her aunt...until Lionel & Brenda adopted her...
She was a Prince protege (Prince is singing in the background of this song and he wrote it). This song was a hit and her other big hit was "The Glamorous Life". She was also in Prince's band for a period on drums. You did "U Got The Look" recently, she was in the video for that song. She's also sings background on the Prince classic "Erotic City".
@@rwfrench66GenX She was in his band for a period, as in "a length or portion of time:", no one said anything about that period being a month. She was part of his band and toured for about two years. She played on songs that were on Prince albums years before that time, but she wasn't part of his band until the late 80's.
@@maureenloftus6717 established percussionist yes, but she did not have solo career as a lead until Prince. So I believe she can be called his protege.
"The Glamorous Life" is probably her most popular song. Also, Sheila E. played drums in "U Got the Look" by Prince, while Sheena Easton was the one singing with him. You reacted to her song "9 to 5 (Morning Train)". "Erotic City" by Prince and Sheila E. (the drummer) is a jam, but contains "the F word". Sheila didn't want to say that word, so she replaced it with "funk", while Prince said the actual curse word. 🙂 Good for Sheila!👍🏽 She comes from a famous family of Latin musicians. Her dad is percussionist Pete Escovedo. Her niece, actress Nicole Richie was adopted by Lionel Richie and his first wife, Brenda. A lot of talent circles these people.
Sheila E = Sheila Escovedo. Her father, Pete Escovedo, was a legendary Latino percussionist and Sheila learned from a master. Sheila went on to work with Prince, and then had a nice run as a solo artist. Her biggest hit as a solo artist was "Glamorous Life". She also recorded at least one album with her father - that was fire.
I remember hearing in an interview that she has her percussion set up the opposite of how they're usually set up, because she would watch her dad and air drum exactly what he was doing, but like a mirror reflexion of her dad's set up
Sheila E , Vanity 6 and The Time were essentially Prince's band and backup vocals. If you saw them live back in the day, each group or artist would perform a set and then remain on stage to support the next performer until Prince came out in front of a stage full of great artists. It was an amazing experience !!
Now you gotta add Krush Groove to your movie list. This scene was filmed at the legendary Disco Fever in the Bronx. One of the few clubs that embraced rap music in the early days where everyone had to go to perform and be seen.
Miss Sheila Escovedo. Though she is widely known for her drumming and her association with Prince, the lady had a unique voice (and still does). "The Glamorous Life" was her first big solo hit, and some of her other bangers are "The Belle of St. Mark", "Sister Fate", "Hold Me", and (I kid you not) "Sex Cymbal". Thanks for reacting!
Sheila E! The legendary percussionist, singer and former protégé/partner/lover and very nearly his wife of the legendary late, great Prince! I was kind of hoping for the glamorous life when you put up Sheila E but love bazaar was another one that was cool! They both (Sheila E & Sheena Easton) were in your previous Prince video. By the way, the white guy in this video is mining prince. The original voice on the song he is actually prince singing.
Both Sheila and Sheena were in the "U Got The Look" video. It's funky for one reason. It's Prince. Also you need to change the title. The song is called "Love Bizarre".
I was fortunate enough to see Prince on the Purple Rain tour and Sheila E. was his opener. As amazing as Prince was what i really remember is how utterly amazing Sheila E. was to watch perform. She was an unbelievable percussionist and put on a hell of a show.
So much to say about this. First of all it was written by Prince, as were most of her early hits. Prince is also singing co-lead on this song. Sheila E. and Sheena Easton were both in Prince's U Got The Look video. Sheena Easton was singing co- lead, Sheila E was playing drums. Sheila has played drums for many artists including Marvin Gaye, Lionel Richie, Michael Jackson, and ironically Ringo Starr. I believe the video for this song contains scenes from Krush Groove which starred Sheila E., along with Run-DMC, The Fat Boys, The Beastie Boys, LL CooJ, and Kurtis Blow. Krush Groove was basically the first hip hop movie.
Uh, "Beat Street" would like to have a word... 😀 But, yeah, Krush Groove (1985) was awesome as was Beat Street (1984) and either one would be a great choice for J&A's movie reaction channel.
Wife here.., I work out to this all the time..An ABSOLUTELY stunning woman..,Who can SING.. PLAY DRUMS..,And is sooo STUNNING!!.., One of my favorite songs from the eighties!!..Fun Fact:.She was one of the very first Muscician's to utilize EBAY to sell Drum Lessons!!!..Sooo Graceful Ms.Amber..
Prince met Sheila E. at a concert in 1977, when she was performing with her father. After the show he met her and told her that he and his bassist Andre Cymone "were just fighting about which one of us would be the first to be your husband." He also vowed that one day she would join his band. The two would eventually join forces during the Purple Rain recording sessions. She provided vocals on the B-side to "Let's Go Crazy", "Erotic City" in 1984. Though taken under Prince's wing, she proved to be a successful artist in her own right
Sheila E is an amazing drummer/singer! Prince sings and plays many of the instruments on this song which I'm sure that both of you can hear that Prince flava while listening to this! 😊 Please check out Glamorous Life also by her because it is the jam for sure!
Back in the day... & it's both Sheena Easton and Sheila E. Sheena Easton hung out she was a flavor of the month... Sheila E. recorded and toured w/ Prince for @ least 15 years in total. DJs back in the day used to prove that they were badasses by mixing Love Bizarre, Erotic City, and Nasty Girls.
This song was used in the movie Krush Groove. It was kind of a retelling of the start of Def Jam records. Run DMC are the stars but it also features LL Cool j, the fat boys, Rick Rubin's, and Sheila e. She performs the song Holly Rock in the movie. That's my favorite song of hers.
Sheila E. AND Sheena Easton where in the 'You Got The Look" video! Sheila was playing the percussion instruments. She's from a family of well known musicians!
Nobody ever talks about the off-the-hook, utterly insane bass line going on in the background through the whole song. That was Prince on bass and it's the best bass groove I think I've ever heard.
She was the opening act for Prince on the Purple Rain Tour that I was lucky enough to see in Greensboro NC back in 1985. Had 5th row center seats She was absolutely AMAZING and GORGEOUS!!!
I saw Sheila E backing up RIngo Starr in 2003 as part of Ringo's All-Starr Band. She was great. Others have mentioned Glamorous Life as her big hit, seeing it live, with a timbales solo was amazing. Yes, Sheila E did also back up Prince.
Can’t help but hear Prince singing background. Funky! He wrote and performed it with her. He was well known for Lin synthesized drums kits in the 80’s. Genius. She was styled by Prince for this video. 💜💜💜
Prince doesn’t appear in the video but that’s HIS voice. He & Sheila did another song together “Erotic City” it was the B side of Let’s Go Crazy from the Purple Rain album
This is Prince’s all time protege , she’s a pure entertainer, percussionist extraordinaire, she’s done it all from solo career to playing in his band. That’s him singing background. Try “ Glamorous Life”….
Sheila E is a world renowned drummer who worked with many great artists. Prince wrote/produced and played instruments on her debut album. This song is basically a duet with Prince . You should check out The Glamorous Life, her debut monster jam/hit. She eventually joined Prince's band as his drummer (and eventually his fiancee). Both Sheena and Sheila were in the You've Got the Look video with Sheila playing drums on it.
Thank you so much for playing one of my all time favorite songs by one of my favorite female artists. You guys are on fire tonight. 🔥 This song is from the movie "Krush Groove" from 1985 which was a great musical film that had artists like LL Cool J in it (and which Sheila E had a part in also). You may want to play this one on your movie channel since it's about music.
Sheila E. might be my favorite drummer. I saw her in concert with Prince in the late 80's, she blew me away when the lights went out and her drum sticks glowed.
I forgot about this one. She's so talented (and good looking). Her Dad or Uncle played percussion with Santana for quite awhile. BTW, you should see her play percussion. Stellar.
Amazing percussionist. She was a big fan of Karen Carpenter. She was young and watched the televised Battle of the Bands in Los Angelos in which The Dick Carpenter trio won.. It was Richard and Karen playing jazz. All instrumental I believe Karen was 16 at the time. She gives Karen a lot of credit for highlighting female drummers. Sheila took after her father and went on to be a top Percussionist in the music world.
Hey Squad!! Love Sheila E! She is one of the best female percussion/drummers out....react to The Glamorous Life. By the way, Sheila E is in the movie Krush Groove.
My favorite is Belle of St Mark. Sheils was part of the Revolution, playing drums and any percussion. Sheena teamed with Prince and he wrote songs for both.
As others mentioned, the song was written with Prince who sings backing on the song. The highly recognizable sound is part of the “Minneapolis Sound” sub-genre that Prince pioneered.
The first time I saw Prince, Sheilaa E was playing drums with the band. Chaka Khan was the opening act. Fantastic concert. You should give a listen to "Erotic City", a duet with Prince.
You barely see Sheila E. in the "U Got The Look" video (a shame because she looks AMAZING in the white body suit) - towards the beginning when the band walks in, and when she bounces a drumstick off the floor, catching it in perfect time
Sheila E. (she's an incredible drummer who performs in some Prince music videos) and Sheena Easton worked with Prince (he's singing background on this track that he wrote).
This is a scene from the 1985 movie "Krush Groove" which was actually pretty good, but it wasn't no "Breakin'".... Huge '80s controversy 😂😂😂 but "Glamorous Life" is undoubtedly Sheila E's greatest hit❤️
Sheila E is the absolute BOMB! However, you can’t help but notice your boy Prince is all over this track. Please check out Glamorous Life next. Sheila is so bad a** is that video too. You guys will LOVE 💜 it for sure.
You ABSOLUTELY have to do “The Glamorous Life”, which was her debut song and biggest hit! Sheila is an amazing percussionist.
It is a must, great video as well.
Definitely she's hall of fame worthy for playing those instruments I think she is considered under the same umbrella as the Minneapolis sound even though her music has a little salsa / Latin flavor to it
YES, YES, YES!!! Please do the live performance - you’ll love it!
ruclips.net/video/efkS7NUFPDI/видео.html
Sheila E is the best and so talented!!!!
Yes!
This was written by Prince and he sings back up. Shelia E was a drummer in his band and a fabulous percussionist. Both Shelia E and Sheena Easton were in the U Got the Look video.
You guys need to check out The Glamorous Life by Shelia E next. It was another huge hit.
She co-wrote this. The rest of the songs on this album were written solely by her.
A lot of us LGBTQIA+ people MtF dressed and learned her moves this is where I learned to dance.

You have not even scratched the surface of this bad ass. You HAVE to watch her play the drums live. She is a BEAST.

Her kicking the cymbals in those boots.

"Glamorous Life" by Sheila E is amazing!
There’s a video of Sheila E. her dad Pete Escovedo and Tito Puente playing drums , timbales together. It’s really cool to see.
They were both in the video for
" U Got The Look ". Shelia E was in a relationship with Prince.
" The Glamorous Life " is a must by Sheila E.
This is a classic Prince groove, shake it
Can you hear Prince 💜 love you two! You bring me back to my youth….the 80’s was absolutely amazing!!!! Love Sheila E
She is an awesome percussionist, her father is Coce Escovido, check out her playing on Princes video, off the chain

Nobody ever talks about the off-the-hook, utterly insane bass line going on in the background through the whole song. That was Prince on bass and it's the best bass groove I think I've ever heard.
She was the opening act for Prince on the Purple Rain Tour that I was lucky enough to see in Greensboro NC back in 1985.
Had 5th row center seats
She was absolutely AMAZING and GORGEOUS!!!
Sheila E. song GLAMOROUS LIFE live is PURE FIRE!!!
Her dad was in the original Santana band, came from good genes
I saw Sheila E backing up RIngo Starr in 2003 as part of Ringo's All-Starr Band. She was great. Others have mentioned Glamorous Life as her big hit, seeing it live, with a timbales solo was amazing. Yes, Sheila E did also back up Prince.
"The Bell of St Mark" has always been my favourite Sheila E song, love watching her play her drums!💜
I love The Bell of St. Mark too. I hope there is a video out there for it...
@@leeharrison8222 It was while ago, but I do remember seeing one. Right I'm going to look for it now😂.
You can tell that Prince wrote this even without his backing vocals xx
Can’t help but hear Prince singing background. Funky! He wrote and performed it with her. He was well known for Lin synthesized drums kits in the 80’s. Genius. She was styled by Prince for this video. 💜💜💜
Sheila E is one of the top drummers in the music industry she is LEGENDARY !!!
Preach my brother
Prince probably wrote this song for her you can hear him singing in the back round
Prince DID write the song.
She will always be remembered standing behind drums in a lace catsuit
Prince doesn’t appear in the video but that’s HIS voice. He & Sheila did another song together “Erotic City” it was the B side of Let’s Go Crazy from the Purple Rain album
Prince's backing vocals are so distinctive and highlighted, it's almost just a Prince song. Of course he wrote the whole thing.
Prince was all over that record
Prince was always championing female artists. Sheila E is the daughter of a famous procussunist. She, in her own right, is an amazing pricussunist.
Drummer with Prince connection. This brings me back to my youth. Totally enjoyed.
“The Glamorous Life” is amazing, written and produced by Prince and performed by Sheila E.
This is Prince’s all time protege , she’s a pure entertainer, percussionist extraordinaire, she’s done it all from solo career to playing in his band. That’s him singing background. Try “ Glamorous Life”….
Prince's protege. She played percussions on so many songs. One that comes to mind Con Funk Shun "Chase Me" You should do that when it's a good song
Sheila E and her dad are renowned percussionist
Sheila E is a world renowned drummer who worked with many great artists. Prince wrote/produced and played instruments on her debut album. This song is basically a duet with Prince . You should check out The Glamorous Life, her debut monster jam/hit. She eventually joined Prince's band as his drummer (and eventually his fiancee). Both Sheena and Sheila were in the You've Got the Look video with Sheila playing drums on it.
Thank you so much for playing one of my all time favorite songs by one of my favorite female artists. You guys are on fire tonight. 🔥 This song is from the movie "Krush Groove" from 1985 which was a great musical film that had artists like LL Cool J in it (and which Sheila E had a part in also). You may want to play this one on your movie channel since it's about music.
You guys should watch Sheila E's first hit The Glamorous Life!!!!!
Prince just gives megahits away he has so many.
Idolmaker on top of everything else.
Sheila E. might be my favorite drummer. I saw her in concert with Prince in the late 80's, she blew me away when the lights went out and her drum sticks glowed.
I forgot about this one. She's so talented (and good looking). Her Dad or Uncle played percussion with Santana for quite awhile. BTW, you should see her play percussion. Stellar.
She also played with Santana before she played with Prince.
I saw Sheila E. open for Prince for the Purple Rain tour in Lakeland, FL in 1985. One of the best concerts I've ever been to.
Amazing percussionist. She was a big fan of Karen Carpenter. She was young and watched the televised Battle of the Bands in Los Angelos in which The Dick Carpenter trio won.. It was Richard and Karen playing jazz. All instrumental I believe Karen was 16 at the time. She gives Karen a lot of credit for highlighting female drummers. Sheila took after her father and went on to be a top Percussionist in the music world.
Don't forget to check out the duet Kate Bush did with Peter Gabriel.
I'm surprised y'all didn't notice that Prince was singing backup! He wrote this song for Sheila E.
She was phenomenal in concert with Prince. The two of them were total bad ass!
Hey Squad!! Love Sheila E! She is one of the best female percussion/drummers out....react to The Glamorous Life. By the way, Sheila E is in the movie Krush Groove.
If you can't tell, that's Prince doing the backup vocals. That he wrote this song for Sheila E.
My favorite is Belle of St Mark.
Sheils was part of the Revolution, playing drums and any percussion.
Sheena teamed with Prince and he wrote songs for both.
As others mentioned, the song was written with Prince who sings backing on the song. The highly recognizable sound is part of the “Minneapolis Sound” sub-genre that Prince pioneered.
The first time I saw Prince, Sheilaa E was playing drums with the band. Chaka Khan was the opening act. Fantastic concert. You should give a listen to "Erotic City", a duet with Prince.
Sheila E AND Sheena Easton were in the "U Got The Look" video. Shela was playing the drums, and Sheena was singing.
Should've did the live version in Oakland....Prince & Sheila E killed it🔥🔥🔥
Sheila E - Glamorous Life ......This has Prince all over it, he even made her look like a female Prince
You barely see Sheila E. in the "U Got The Look" video (a shame because she looks AMAZING in the white body suit) - towards the beginning when the band walks in, and when she bounces a drumstick off the floor, catching it in perfect time
This song is written and played by Prince, you can hear his vocal behind Sheila’s
Sheila E. (she's an incredible drummer who performs in some Prince music videos) and Sheena Easton worked with Prince (he's singing background on this track that he wrote).
You definitely can see Prince's influence in her performance! I love her. ✌️♥️
I’m still crushin’ on Sheila E. 40 years later 😂
A LOVE BIZARRE MY TOP 10 SONG OF THE WONDERFUL 80'S 💯🔝💯
This is a scene from the 1985 movie "Krush Groove" which was actually pretty good, but it wasn't no "Breakin'".... Huge '80s controversy 😂😂😂 but "Glamorous Life" is undoubtedly Sheila E's greatest hit❤️
Man I can't even tell you how many times I saw Breaking. And of course Breaking 2: Electric Boogaloo 🤣🤣😂
Sheila E. Lionel Richies adopted daughter Nicoles, bio auntie. Lucky girl.
She’s an incredibly talented drummer too. Prince wrote so many songs for people back in the day!
"GLAMOROUS LIFE!!" Best song ever from her!
Sheila is amazing and this was written by Prince I believe.
Have to do Glamorous Life and see her show off her drumming!❤
A Glamorous Life is Sheila E's best song!
Sheila E Played in Prince Band
Superior percussionist!! Not highlighted her, but that’s her thing! Did ya’ll not HEAR Prince in the background??!!
Sheila E. AND Sheena Easton was in the Prince video! Sheila E
played percussion for Prince in some songs.
Sheila E is the absolute BOMB! However, you can’t help but notice your boy Prince is all over this track. Please check out Glamorous Life next. Sheila is so bad a** is that video too. You guys will LOVE 💜 it for sure.
I love this song from her. Also Glamorous Life and Sister Fate.
