She don't need.

Sheila E is one of pops icons. This is a reflection of her great artistic ability. July 9, 2007

Drums

I bought this for my dad after he and mom went to a Ringo Starr concert. He thought she was just fabulous. January 15, 2007

A Glamorous Album

I first heard the single edit of "Glamorous Life" on an '80s compilation. Let me tell you, that was nothing compared to the 9 minute full version.

Sheila E. is a fantastic drummer, right up there with Keith Moon and other greats. She sings great too. Her mix of styles range from light pop to deep R&B. The resulting CD is very good.

The title track, "A Glamorous Life," is easily the standout track here. I also enjoyed the beautiful "Next Time Wipe The Lipstick Off Your Collar." Some of her drum solos on this CD are quite amazing too.

Earlier this year, I had the priveledge of seeing Sheila E. perform with Ringo Starr and his All-Starr Band. Too bad she only got two solo numbers. But it was a great show.

Buy this CD, and hear what good drumming sounds like. September 2, 2006

Great album, terrible sounding CD

If you are a fan of this recording then get it on vinyl. Find a copy pressed in 1984 and dont get a reissue. It sounds way better than the CD. The CD sounds so bad they warn you on the back of the CD. Most of the Prince related stuff from the early 80's have this problem. June 5, 2006
