What a woman💜 Met her in church sitting right behind me! She touched my arm and rubbed it saying she liked my shirt! I never washed that shirt lol (she was brilliant) Sheila you remember giving my sister a call after church? (Bam was the preacher)
Angel_IQue Nieukoop was there ever a extended studio version of this recorded with the "Sitting at the cafe" adlibs at the end? I've also heard that in Prince's demo version of the song.
@@jonylawson73 But the point is that she was an industry recognised musician before they came together, with him even knowing of her professional pedigree on first meeting. Can he be responsible for introducing her to the public at large? Yes. But WITHIN the music industry, amongst their peers, she was already a bad ass, with her career going all the way back to playing with Con Funk Shun (you might want to look them up), and working with Lionel Richie, Marvin Gaye, and Michael Jackson. You know that tingly percussion on "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough"? Yeah, that would be our girl. We're not going to pigeon hole ad disrespect women holding their own within their field here and chalk their entire existence up to a man, when they came to the table with the goods that gave him something to work with in the first place. There's reason why women like Sheila, Wendy and Lisa have gone on to have stellar long term music CAREERS vs. the rest of the dolls he uitilzed for his fantastical projections
This is so freakin cool! Thanks. Those lead and bass solos were impressive, but they went a little long. Shiela's little sweet voice, love me some Shiela! Way more than a protégé..they were there for each other thru it all.
You got to be kidding. Prince's version is so much more soulful with his falsetto voice, guitar and Wendy and Lisa singing backup. Sheila never did this song justice, he should have kept it for himself
Jgutie 15 Just seeing this but I SO agree!! I love Sheila, but nothing compares to Prince's performance of this at his '84 birthday show. It was just so good. And Wendy and Lisa made it all better!
