I remember seeing some TV special at the time (probably on cable) where she performed this song live, with her band. Man, the percussion/drum setup she had was amazing, and she never missed a beat, even during a lengthy solo. Simply awesome!

Another great Prince song. I absolutely adore this track, and Sheila E.'s percussion really adds to it.
Just a little trivia, Prince originally wrote and produced this track for Apollonia 6, but gave it to Sheila E. at the last minute. He also wrote and produced "Manic Monday" for Apollonia 6, but gave it to The Bangles at the last minute as well, you can download the Apollonia 6 demo. "Take Me With U" from the Purple Rain Soundtrack was originally supposed to be on the Apollonia 6 album, but was put on the soundtrack at the last minute. All three songs went on to become hits. The moral of this story: Apollonia 6 got screwed big time.

I like the song!
Last year, I heard the dance-remix of that song...on an mainstream AC station, believe it or not!

I heard this song on the radio this morning and it was stuck in my head for awhile. But I like it.
Whatever happened to Sheila E?

I think she was a drummer before she became a singer.

I think she was a drummer before she became a singer. She was a drummer for prince and she was a singer as well. She mixed the two with her solo records. |

Sheila E's best song (though I also adored "A Love Bizarre"). When I was younger, I often heard this as an 80s flashback on V103, defunct 103.5 Jammin' Oldies, and B96 I think. Still a great song and one of the best Prince productions. can't find the music video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Whgun28BYg |
