Both Sheila E. & Sheena Easton were part of Prince's "U Got The Look"
oh yeah!
Definitely need to check that one out.
THEY BOTH HAD THE LOOK!
So hot!!! 🥵 🔥
Bomb!
It’s definitely not Morning Train. 😂
Her skills are genetic! Her dad played percussion with Santana for years. Royalty. She is a beast & she still plays. ❤
Thank you for the reminder of the Santana years.... Totally forgot about that 😎👍🏻
And her uncle also.
Been waiting for this❤ Thanks
And she played with Lionel Richie and George Duke .
I would like them ro react to The Time" I Don't Want To Leave You and Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam "I Wonder If Take You Home "
At 66 , Sheila is still killing’ it… performing, recording & celebrating life ❤️😇
Prince also wrote another banger for her called "A Love Bizarre". He's on backup vocals for that song as well! 💟☮️
They covered that song already on this channel.
@@user-xe5fz6se9j I wish they would do the live version. It’s so much better
@@michellemelton9751 It definitely is.
@@user-xe5fz6se9j oh oops lol. I'm gonna go watch it.. thank you 😊
That sounds familiar as hell. I was a kid back in the 80's. Gonna have to check that out. Might be one of those long lost songs
Manager: “ The cowbell is not a sexy instrument.”
Sheila E. “Hold my wine glass 🍷…..”
Seeing her perform this at the AMA’s is what did it for me. I was hooked for life. 😍
Best comment ever! LOL
Sheila E was a very popular drummer (jazz and R&B) before working with and for Prince. She even toured with him and they were briefly engaged. Prince produced her 1st 2 albums and like with most of his proteges, he also wrote songs and played multiple instruments.This song flew up the charts so fast that Sheila asked her siblings and cousins to be in the hastily filmed music video. It was the first time many of us had ever seen a female drummer/singer. She's still working in the music industry.
Some of us already knew about Karen Carpenter.😉
@@TheKatdawg65Sheila is better. Everyone's a fan of Karen.
well Im glad someone else know more than pop life
@@bonepicker1 not everyone knows Karen was a drummer before she sang.💁🏻♀️
@@TheKatdawg65 It's a generational thing. I'm a 60s baby, so it easy for me to say that about Karen. These last two generations don't know about a whole lot of stuff from previous generations.
I can not believe that it has been 40 YEARS since this song came out!!! 40 YEARS!! i WAS 15 years old!! lol...I'm old...we are old..lol
I love to hear 80s jams cause it takes me to that time in my mind... but than... I trip out cause I'm up in age👴🏽
I was 13 and as much as this sounds like a Prince song, this felt like nothing I'd heard before.
same
me too
yes, indeed....in those rare time some maverick plays this on the radio how high can the volume go....
Miss Shelia E ...She sings, she plays the drums, she dances, she does everything plus wearing high heels !!!!
You forgot she can rap too
@@Battle_Faith-Ministries Yes she can !
Big mama Cuban queen
Sheila comes by her percussion roots naturally. Her father Pete Escovedo is a percussionist and so is her younger brother and other members of the family. Her dad, I think at one point even played with Carlos Santana.
@@db-gb5xi *Escovedo
@@diegodelavega1883 And I knew that when I hit the post. Thanks.
I also heard that one of Sheila E's family members was the biological parent of Nicole Richie (Adopted daughter of Lionel Richie).... not sure where I heard this but it was about 15 years ago when I found out.
@MommaHub1966 If I remember right, Nicole is her biological niece.
And her godather was Tito Puente.
Shiela was surrounded by some of the greatest Latin musicians of the 20th century. Her father was the great American Precutionist "Pete Escobedo" and Shiela had played the congas in his Latin-Funk band "Azteca" when she was quite young. Her Godfather was the incomparable "King of the Tambalas, Tito Puente, and a good family friend to her father was " Celia Cruz " or The Queen of Salsa. Her talents as a Precutionist and overall musician caught Prince's attention and the rest is funkadelic history. Not to mention her beauty, sex appeal and stage presence. What an artistic 80 s package of perfection. Canadian Grandma Lori. C.
The Escobedo family are truly talented. I have heard them together in concert, and still have my Azteca album. Another great performer who played with Prince is someone I know you will enjoy, Candy Dulfur
@@erniefranchino7284
Isn't she a saxophonist? I think she's German or something. I could be wrong. Wow, I will need to check her out. I do remember she was an incredible talent on the sax. Thanks for recommending her. I love exceptional saxophonists. I can't remember her song titles. Can you recommend a greatest hit? Canadian Grandma Lori. C.
@@user-eh8zq1vi4e Candy is Dutch , from Holland. Her father was a musician as well. Her most well known song is probably her cover of Average White Bands song "Pick Up The Pieces" or her collaboration with Dave Stewart (Eurythmics) called "Lily Was Here".
@@user-eh8zq1vi4e Dutch ,her father also played the sax. Pick up the pieces, Lilly was here, are some of my favorites
@@erniefranchino7284
Thank you. I will check them out. Lilly was Here sounds familiar. Be well. Canadian Grandma Lori. C.
I saw her perform this live at a Prince concert at Madison Square Garden. She was an intermission act while Prince took a break.
He was incredible, went through about a dozen drumsticks, and in the end got a bigger ovation than Prince himself. And she was so humbled and overwhelmed by the praise.
She’s an amazing drummer
Yay! Another Prince protege! She was an amazing drummer before Prince got a hold of her. In fact, she created the twinkle percussion in Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough" with glass bottles of water in different "notes." Listen to MJ's song again and you'll hear her.
Wow! I've been a Michael Jackson fan for many years and that's one my favorites my Michael. However, I did not know this fact.
@@RastaSaiyaman She has a video showing how she did it. If she's lying, that's on her.
I love this song. You can tell it was written by Prince, it has his signature sound. He and Shelia E. had a romantic relationship and a very close friendship that lasted until his death. She traveled with him and his band a lot. Sheila's dad, Pete Escovedo, is a very famous percussionist, like father like daughter! 💖💖
Sheila E is a legendary drummer. Serious, legendary drummer.
Sheila is in the 1985 hip hop movie "Krush Groove", which also has New Edition, The Fat Boys, Run-DMC, Kurtis Blow, & a few other rap acts. She was also a session musician before working with Prince and released 2 jazz albums in the 1970s with her father Pete Escovedo.
I remember skipping school to see that movie in the middle of the day! Still a nostalgic favorite.
She’s 66, still performing and GORGEOUS!
Nobody else seems to have mentioned this, but on the Sign O the Times tour, Sheila wasn't just the drummer. She was the musical director for the band and the tour. Actually, Prince hired her as the musical director, and she hired herself with Prince's permission as the drummer for the band.
FINALLY! I’ve been waiting on this one! You should watch her perform this live with the glow in the dark drumsticks.
This song was written by the genius himself, Prince
🎯🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵
Yep. I'm pretty sure I heard a bit of background vocals from him, too.
@@jenniferfoster1692 u did...
Man I just love 80’s music! It has THAT sound and it’s fun and timeless, glad I grew up in that era!
80s I lived it
90s I laughed how I was
2000s i was in denial of my age
2024... I look back and embrace how that time was😎
If Prince put his stamp on you,you were legit. Sheila E. Was that girl. Major talent.
Sheila E is a breathtaking drummer, I was lucky enough to see her live with Prince and it was an unforgettable experience! Go look out her work, both with and after prince.
?? She has very few songs.
She played on a George Duke video at about 19th Years old. Moving On is the song.
She is the daughter of the legendary SANTANA Drummer Pete Escovedo. She has been performing on stage with her dad, Pete...and Uncles including HOF PERCUSSIONIST J.T. "COKE" Escovedo since she was 5. Groups ESCOVEDO, SANTANA, AZTECA and MALO.
They need to hear some Malo!
What a boss! How is this the first time I noticed she kicked the high hat & then she spun around, threw her drumstick in the air & caught it!🔥
Yes! That was badass!
those were her signature moves.
This is still a JAM! She worked with Prince a lot. 💃💃💃
That's a soprano saxophone....like Kenny G plays.
Prince wrote, ‘The Glamorous Life’ for Vanity, not Sheila E. When Vanity left the fold, the song was given to Sheila E.
Other songs of hers to check out include, A Love Bizarre, The Belle of St. Mark and Sex Cymbal. And of course another one with Prince and her called Erotic City. Another Prince protege is Rosie Gaines (you've seen her in the Diamonds and Pearls video). She did a solo song called, I Want You (with a sample from Marvin Gaye's song of the same name, that you should react to). There was also Vanity 6. Rick James had the Mary Jane Girls and Prince had Vanity 6. The song might make Jay blush but check out their Nasty Girl.
@@GlenEly already been done
Erotic City. What a blast from the past. Great recommendation.
Sad she only had a few songs ..
Sheila E's uncles include Javier Escovedo, founder of seminal San Diego punk act The Zeros; Alejandro Escovedo, founder of seminal San Francisco punk band The Nuns; Mario Escovedo, who fronted long-running indie rockers The Dragons; and Coke Escovedo, who was in Santana and formed the band Azteca.
Lots of firepower in that family
The two lady band members in the movie Purple Rain also have a great album. They are known as Wendy and Lisa
More than one album, and they still write music together for TV.
Sheila E is a percussionist, one of the best ever and a legend. Love her own music and her work with Prince but she has a seriously impressive resume of artists she’s worked with. You should take a look at her bio, you will not regret seeing more of her work.
She is Royalty in the music world. She started out singing background and keys with George Duke on his funky record called "Reach For It", There is a live version on youtube. The song is a staple in the Lowrider Culture
Royalty? I love her but she had very few songs!!😢
@@michaelasay8587 Not just because of her songs. She was the Music Director for dam near every Awards Show & Night time talk show during the 80’s & 90’s. She has toured with so many greats And done so much outside her own songs
Guess who is playing live on NBC at the DNC
Percussionist Extraordinaire, Sheila E. has recorded with some of the finest musicians in the world.
Her musical repertoire covers the entire musical palate--including Latin, Jazz,
R&B, Rock, Pop.
She can add spice to anything she touches.
To this day, I still use "If-You-Have-To-Ask-You-Can't-Afford-It" to describe something real expensive. :D
Thank you, Sheila E.!
I crushed on her so hard. She KILLS that percussion man, she's a MASTER!
Sorry to break it to you, at 1:59 she was winking at me.
Sheila E was never on a prince video playing the keyboards that was windy. She was part of the revolution,, I believe Sheila’s father was a conga player with Carlos Santana.
Sheila E. the queen of percussion!
Sheila E may be the most famous female drummer ever, but she comes from a very talented family of musicians. Her dad, Pete Escovedo, is a legendary percussionist himself. I saw Sheila E and Pete Escovedo in concert together many years ago. What an incredible concert with the 2 of them. You ought to look into his lineup too. Oh, he even played a bit with Santana. For example, I believe he played percussion on Santana's Oye Como Va
Sheila E's swag is off the charts!! When she kicks that hi-hat!!
I got to see Sheila open for Prince in 1984 in Detroit on the Purple Rain tour. One of the best concerts ever. And yes, they did perform some songs together. 🎵 ❤💯
Sheila's brother (Peter Michael Escovedo) is the Biological Father of Nicole Ritchie (Nicole Camille Escovedo) prior to Lionel Ritchie adopting her.
Tito Puente was Sheila's Godfather.
Sheila's Father (Pete Escovedo) and her Uncle (Coke Escovedo) were once members of Santana.
Sheila E. and Prince were briefly engaged.
Sheila plays awesome, this cowbell-timbales/cymbal with lots of authority as well and great dancer back line, absolutely, The Escovedo family are very talented folks, musicians and percussionists, this video spells all hair-suits 80`s style, and she performed a killer jam during the 1985 American Musics Awards ceremony, so please, it is a must to check this one, don`t miss it, it will blown you guys away, this video is the tip of the iceberg. We love Sheila, for ever.
Such a talented performer and percussionist! This song was HUGE when I was in middle school.
Fun Fact: Her father was Pete Escovedo, a very famous Mexican jazz percussionist.
Awesome reaction to a huge hit by one of the most talented woman percussionists (known as the “Queen of Percussion” and I saw her in that role in the George Duke Band, a few years before this came out. And as many have already said, she came by it honestly, as he father, Pete Escovedo, was a master percussionist and eventually hired by Carlos Santana for the Santana band), even before anyone had ever heard her sing.
In case, you get to read this comment, that saxophone that went straight out like a clarinet, is a soprano sax. One of the greatest masters of that instrument as well as the tenor sax, was my favorite musician and composer, Wayne Shorter, who played with Joni Mitchell, plays the solo on Steely Dan’s song “Aja”, and was co-founder of my favorite band of all time, instrumental jazz-rock fusion band, Weather Report (to whom someday, I hope you’ll react. Maybe start with their biggest hit, “Birdland”. There’s also a vocal version with lyrics by jazz harmony group, The Manhattan Transfer, who I also think you’ll love, as they combine rich harmonies with jazz and crooning).
I loved Wayne and got to see him many times with Weather Report back in the 70’s and with his own quartet a bunch of times in the 2000’s.
He just died last year at 89. I got to talk with him at one of his gigs I went to see here in San Fran about 9 years ago. I went out to see him 5 times in one week as a celebration of my birthday that year.
I hope you get to see this and react to some Weather Report music. You will love them. It’s like if Pink Floyd, and Miles Davis, and maybe Earth, Wind and Fire had a baby that played mostly instrumentals. Lots of keyboards and synths.
Sheila E. Is a known percussionist. She still performs live events today playing drums
Oh man….I remember about blowing out my speakers in my college dorm room listening to this song circa 1984-85. I absolutely LOVED this song. Written by Prince for Shiela E. She NAILED it!!
I was lucky to have been able to see her play with Prince on a few different tours. Amazing! But then I saw her play in a small club in San Francisco (Yoshi's near Geary & Fillmore, not in Oakland) and she was with her dad and brother(s). Small club, maybe less than 200 people. They were absolutely mind-blowing!!! Prince had a habit of surrounding himself with brilliant musicians. The musicians that have played with Prince is like a list of all-stars.
Her drumming on The Glamourous Life pt 2 is insane
Sheila E also played on Marvin Gaye’s last concert tour before he passed. She is phenomenal.
He basically wrote the entire album! It’s great and Sheila E. Is the bomb on percussion!
OOOOOO - LOVE me some SHEILA E!!! YAY!!! Had this album!! THANKS, YA'LL!!!
Check out Prince You Got The Look. Has both Sheena Easton and Sheila E. Also check out the movie Krush Groove. Sheila E is in it. It's the start of the Def Jam records label. You got Run DMC, LL Cool J, The Fat Boys, The Beastie Boys, Kurtis Blow, New Edition, Full Force. Great movie and soundtrack
They don't really do old school rap. I do wish they'd do Krush Groove and Beat Street. They'd really enjoy both.
YES! This was such a HUGE jam back in the day! Everyone was feelin' this track. It had crazy crossover appeal.
3:55 - Sheila E is one of the most famous drummers ever in music history. You guys should really check her out drumming live on stage. She's a freakin' BEAST!! She's 66 years old now, and still going strong with her live performances.
There is a SPECTACULAR Live performance version of Sheila's LOVE BIZARRE with Prince on stage with her where she goes OFF on the drums. - One of the best live performances you will ever see :-D
I've always loved this song. Still holds up.
100%
This song was actually written for Vanity(Denise Matthews ) a Prince muse, protege and love interest. Denise and Prince had a huge disagreement over money (he wanted to lowball her for staring in Purple Rain,which Apollonia took over….and Denise wanted her romantic involvement with Prince to be exclusive.) She walked away from his ”camp”in the early Purple Rain era. In turn ,when Sheila joined
later on and Prince created an entire LP for her,he gave “Glamorous Life” to Sheila. You can hear Prince’s vocals and guitar in the background.
Thank you. I came here to say this!
Sheila E and Sheena Easton are in the Prince video "You Got The Look" You reacted to this video. She is also the girl in the red dress in the Lionel Ritchie video you reacted to "Running With The Night"
She has always been smokin' hot! Great player and artist! I miss this from back in the day.
Oh the rabbit hole you have started now!!!!❤
I remember when this video came on MTV, loved watching her play those drums and dance her dance! She is gorgeous and sings, plays and dances! So awesome, like Prince!!🔥🔥
“Love is heaven sent. It’s glamorous.”
Prince......what a legend. The man was so confident in being insanely great at what he does that he wrote songs or added to songs for other artists and it wouldn't be revealed till years later that he was involved... all songs became hits. Like this one, Manic Monday (The Bangles) , Nothing Compares 2 U (Sinead Occonor) , Jungle Love (Morris Day and the Time, Sex Shooter (Apollonia 6) and he even added synths to the 80s hit Stand Back for the queen of Rock Stevie Nicks.
Sheila's dad, Pete Escovedo, legendary Mexican percussionist, snd her mom is Afro Cuban.
Sheila E. Is an amazing drummer and percussionist. She comes from a musical family. I saw her playing live at a "drum clinic" once, alone and with other drummers and she was fantastic.
Sheila E. was, and still is, fierce! If the spirit moves you, snoop around TH-cam and watch videos of Sheila E. performing with her father, legendary percussionist Pete Escovedo. 😊
Saw her on the PBS July 4 special. She still looks and plays great!
Hey y'all!! Great reaction and song choice! I got to see her perform in Jacksonville, Florida a few years ago and she was still KILLING it!!! And she brought her dad out and they performed together! CLASSIC! 🔥🔥🔥
You have to watch her live Grammy performance. She really plays percussion
Thanks for the awesome reaction!The drums she’s playing are called Timbales. Used mainly is Salsa music, in fact her father was Pete Escovedo a Latin jazz percussionist. Also the sax being played is a soprano saxophone, which I also happen to play. I’ve been requesting a reaction to this song for over a year…
shelia is one the greatest ever love then and still now this one my favorites songs.
Jay&Amber, for female Friday: Jackie DeShannon - "Put a Little Love in Your Heart" or "What the World Needs Now Is Love"!! She’s one of the early singer-songwriters. She co-wrote Put a Little Love in Your Heart. She wrote the music for her original “Bette Davis Eyes”, words by Donna Weiss.
Kim Carnes cover of Bette Davis Eyes was a worldwide hit/record of the year, w/a very different arrangement(which you’ve heard).
She is AMAZING! Prince knew he'd found a(nother) gem. Who wouldn't be attracted to her: percussionist, drummer, singer, dancer... You have to watch a live performance, with Prince is even better from the 80s. She's still rocking on stage, after all these years.
Cyndi Lauper sings a Prince song too...and she kills it!! When You Were Mine 🔥❤👍
Check out Mitch Ryder's version. It's the bomb.
When I was a flight attendant, I was lucky enough to have Sheila E in my first class section…at first I didn’t recognize her…she came on looking fabulous in a white pant suit and this huge white brim hat, and I thought to myself, that’s one stylish babe! When she and her (I can only assume her husband/boyfriend) sat in their seats, I introduced myself as their first class flight attendant and began to ask them by name (cause I had passenger manifest) if they’d like a pre-departure beverage or cocktail when I realized her name resembled that of one Sheila E! I did a double take, and my jaw to ground, I was gushing over her! She was the sweetest, and most kind celebrity I have ever had on my flights over the 8 years I flew. She even happily took pics with me! Absolutely adore this woman!
Jay was vibing out to the music with his eyes closed again. He missed some of the best moments:
Like, her bouncing her drumstick off the floor!! or a couple times when she KICKED the Cymbal ! (fun fact - a high hat is actually 2 cymbals, mounted facing each other. which I only just learned.)
Jay can't watch a music video all the way through to save his life. On top of that, he has an incredible knack for closing his eyes right before the best parts. 👁👁
I love your reactions! Prince wrote The Glamorous Life, but it's credited to Sheila E. Yes, his influence is ALL over this hit song! I had the pleasure of dancing with Sheila E. at Prince's old Glam Slam Nightclub a few times in the 1990s! Sheila E. is the Queen of Percussion! She gave a great concert and performed "The Glamorous Life to funky perfection at the Dakota club here in Minneapolis at the end of July! We reunited in a selfie video during the song!!! 😊👏🏾♬🎤🥁🎶🎸🎷🎹💯
This was a jam back in the day, and that kick wow
Sheila E is the most amazing drummer. She played with the extremely talented George Duke ( some people may know his song Sweet Baby ) but he toured for years making music and Shiela E was quite young. She also performed with Alphonso Johnson Prince came to see her because she was well known and very talented. Love Bizarre , Hold me and her vocals on Erotic city with Prince are still in my rotation today. My granddaughter plays the Saxophone , the violin and the guitar and she adores Shiela E .
About time..when Sheila E came out she hit the ground runnin.. great reaction
A hugely talented performer! Glad you discovered this one.
Teena Marie--Lovergirl
the best! THE BEST! Sheila E is just so major. When this song was released I was mad for it! I'd never heard anything like it then! I've never heard anything like it since! total perfection. so original. the perfect union of incredible talents all together and wowie wow! I have never fallen out of love with this incredible tune!! yes!! it is a cloud 9 classic!! THE BEST!
Jay is missing sooo much with his eyes closed all the time!!
He's one of the worst "reactors" i've ever seen on TH-cam. If Amber wasn't involved this channel wouldn't be anywhere near as popular as it is.
Jay loves to close his eyes and groove to the music but he missed the parts when she kicked the symbol and bounced her drumstick in the air and caught it.
Sheila E. is from Oakland which is the city that I live in. Represent.
Her godfather is Tito Puente and she learned from him, so when you're the protege of a legend, you get this masterpiece
Sheila E is a mad percussionist, and was popular in 84/85. She was among the black female artists that MTV played in regularly in the beginning before switching to a top 40 format, in November 1984. Along with Donna Summer, The Pointer Sisters and Tina Turner.
One of the greatest lyrics ever in a song.
“Boys with small talk and small minds really don’t impress me in bed.”
And that hand gesture she did.. nowadays they don't know about subtext and sneaky lyrics.
It is a Prince song, so no surprise
The instrument is a soprano saxophone. Another musician who plays it is Kenny G, who's biggest hit was Songbird.
GRAYSON HUGH 'TALK IT OVER'
She's not just a drummer but a fantastic percussionist! Reminds me of another singer you haven't done in a while Jody Watley. React to "Real Love" or "Don't You Want Me". Thanks. 😎
Try going down the rabbit hole...Lisa Lisa and the cult jam songs are 🔥
Yesssss " all cried out "
@ThatsillyChickBeth my favorite banger is I wonder if I take you home
When I was a young girl in the 80s she was Prince (Purple Rain Tour) opening act and she blew me away with her skills. You have to hear this song live to really appreciate her skills. She is still performing today in her 60s
This and Love Bizarre were her only hits, but I still listen to them to this day, and this dropped when I was in the 8th grade! Truly a classic! God bless ya'll.
Her dad, Pete Escovedo, a well-known Mexican American jazz percussionist including with Santana. Her four paternal uncles were also well-known musicians, as was her godfather, Tito Puente. So, precious percussion was pulsing through her veins before birth!
Prince did the backup vocals for Sheila E's other hit ham, "A Love Bizarre".
Love Sheila E! She's bad azz
She performed this song at the Capitol 4th concert last month and still sounded fantastic. Kicking off her heels while hard-beating those timbales.....I was like, yasssss! Her A Love Bizarre is really good too!
Sheila E is drummer extraordinaire! She's also a member of the talented Escovedo family. (That's where the "E" comes from in her stage name.) In the late 1970s, she played with George Duke. If you haven't reacted to any of his music, he has a great discography of ballads, party music. If you want FUNK, please react to his song "Dukey Stick". Sheila plays on that song; you even hear her voice near the end of that song. ❤
