- Watch the sexiest woman in percussion tear this stage up! Starts out with The Glamorous Life then goes into a drum solo. Live in Oakland, Ca. at the Colliseum @ the Prince concert on February 24th 2011

Prince was no dummy.He kept her playing in his band after all those years...because he knew she was super talented and had a name.And stage presence.The baddest chick that ever touched a drum set!
@dora C and Sandy from the Runaways!
You aint never lied......
Prince was no dummy ? Dude......he was a GENIUS.
Absolutely 🥁
Are you familiar with Tito Puente?
Anyone surviving on stage from the
70’s to this decade is a legend. What a musician, what an artist, what a woman.
There has never been a hotter drummer than this woman in the history of the instrument. Everytime I see her perform it takes me back to being 10yrs old in 84 and i get chills and stare like a child. Shes amazing.
Cindy Blackman Santana smokes her like a joint
Total crush 🖤
Oh get a clue fool. So many dudes smoke her lame ass.
Rite!
She must have been around 52...
She outperformed people half her age! What an outstanding lady! Love Sheila E💜💜💜
The Queen of Drums and Percussion!!!!!
Sheila E is a CLASS ACT! She recently came to Memphis and performed w/out The Time who cancelled. Her talent and time were appreciated. While in Memphis, she visited kids at St. Jude Children's Hospital and brought gifts to them. What a lady!
What a legend, no one on the planet can kill a drum like this lady and no one looks more beautiful doing it!! ❤️❤️🔥🔥
I don’t think anyone ever will like her! She’s amazing!
Fyeah
Linda!! Agree 100% 👍👍👍💕

That's the truth
A fan from the beginning, up to this very moment. Sheila E was a badass with class. No one does it better than her. No. One. #Legend
Only Sheila E. could pull off wearing an evening gown while murdering drums lol. She's always been such a badass lady and I've always loved her. I've yet to wrap my head around the fact of never seeing her perform with Prince again. His passing has left a huge empty hole in my soul. I always knew I loved him, I just never knew how much until now. Damn. just damn.
yeah me too he was the best songwriting musician ever and Paul mccartney 2 of the best in music history. RIP dear Prince you are loved
See her. She still tours. It's not to late
Sparkie McDoodle.
Its called percussion not drums
And fixing her hair while playing
She is ridiculously talented! Like off the charts! I LOVE SHEILA!!!!
Man those percussion skills are fire and might i add she looks amazing 😍
her dadddy was a member of Santana
alise taylor i agree
alise taylor I guess that's a drum machine 2, LoL
Thanks
yeah
This women is phenomenal!!!
Sheila E was giving her hometown fans in Oakland a special treat. It's so sexy to see a beautiful woman like that with "REAL" talent, playing instruments, singing and all. That Prince is a lucky man. He's been with some very beautiful women, including Sheila E.
and we loved seeing her here in oakland that nite with prince representing heavily...it was epic..!! RIP prince...
Man only poured top shelf
They were just good friends.
@@saambaya you know that Sheila E was the only person in this world that could have saved PRINS from his drug abuse, he died in misery all by himself, I STILL can't believe that his staff left him, they all knew what AND was going on SHEILA WOULD HAVE BEEN BY HIS SIDE, TO FIND HELP SHEILA I LOVE YOU!! AFTER ALL, YOU LOVED HIM SO MUCH I HURTS ME THAT YOU WERE NOT CLOSE BY TO SAVE HIM AND MAKE HIM MORE COMFORTABLE, HE SHOULD HAVE HAD A LITTLE BOY FROM YOU, THAT WAS HIS WISH. LOVE YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO TO REMEMBER HIM, RIP PRINCE YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She makes it look like so much fun playing those drums!
That performance was off the charts. Sheila we love you in Philly!!!#🌹🌹🌹🌹
Well, AllRight! 🌹
No one compares to Sheila E. Undeniable legend 👏👏👏
Sheila E still got it after all those years she rocked the stage love you sweetie
For 40 years now.
Her drum performances are spiritual! She is overcome when she plays. She is amazing and one who has always remained classy over the years. Love it! She just gets better with time. You definitely see the Prince influence even in her mannerisms.
She rocks. Always goes hard! 💕
Undeniably awersome.. Most talented female drummer ever!!! Thanks prince for her..
Im reading her life story "The Beat Of My Own Drum". She went through a lot as a young child. But finally she was later blessed to have some happiness and success. Love her.
I liked this comment years ago and I'm finishing her memoir (testimony) today! 📖
Sheila E - is incredible. She never disappoints. I never get tired of watching her.
Yes! She's awesome! I 5hink her Dad taught her. Prince ed wouldn't let someone faking it play in his band.
Ever!
He did SO MUCH for women in Music , she is incredible and so VIBRANT !!! What roll models for young women in the 80's , we were so blessed and didn't even know it !
God bless you all Much gratitude too much gratitude to out into words .
Although Sheila was already famous in her own right before meeting Prince.
This is a concert, this is performance, this is music
Glad her and price got to play together again. RIP Prince.
Seen her a few times in my life & each time is an absolutely wonderful memory in my heart. BIG thank you Sheila E👏👏👏👏
Neil Peart is a drumming god...and while I might get some backlash from this, I'd like to say that Sheila E is a drumming goddess.
May they both forever live on as legends of their craft.
Classic!!! People need to understand, the youth today...Sheila E is bad, she ad Prince are artists who actually play REAL INSTRUMENTS. She's bad! Few if any have anything on her. This is class. Feminine strength with no need to be other than a lady. LOVE HER. Prince and Shiela E, excellence!!!
Man, she is still fine even at her age!!! Music truly has been kind to her in every way.!!!
Prince have found talented singers that made an impact on our lives. Shelia E is a perfect example of it. Prince will live on through his music and through the talent of his discovery. thank you for the music Prince. you will be missed!
Jerri Robertson she was a famous percussionist and session musician long before she met Prince though he did help catapult her solo career
Sheila E was a working musician before her connection with Prince; the connection was useful but she didn't need "discovering!"
Was there a romantic connection between them? If so, I wonder if she would have been the one for him. I always thought Mayte was too immature for him.
Prince didn't discover her... She has been around for much longer and her mentor was the King of Percussion the Late Tito Puente 🇵🇷
@@jackielromero They did date. I just made a similar comment recently on another video, that I wish they could have made it as a couple.
THAT is how a lady plays the drums!
The Bay Area's musical lineage is blessed with the Escovedo blood and when Prince moved to Marin, he was taken in by their family and introduced to a whole world of Latin rhythm and groove. I remember this concert and the amazing victory tour vibe. Every night he brought local music legends like Sheila E. and Carlos Santana out to share the stage with him. He played so long that but for Oakland and Alameda County ordinances, I thought he'd never stop. (He literally broke the law by playing so long into the night) It was incredible and infectious. Thank you for that.
Hands down one of the BEST drumers to do it...PERIOD! AND, she will ALWAYS look absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

i. Am Hymn yeah she’s good but Neil Pert from Rush is the best.
i. Am Hymn i
i. Am Hymn ABSOLUTELY. I LOVE SHIELA E!
@@89hybrid88 Ok, best WOMAN then!
Not over playing, not over bearing, hitting every note in every space needed.
Knowing exactly when and when not to hot the xymbal to let the song sound good, A disciplined drummer.
PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THAT SHE,S BEEN AROUND SINCE THE 70,S BACKING ALOT OF JAZZ AND FUSION MUSICIANS LONG BEFORE SHE MET PRINCE BY , THE WAY TO - PRINCE - R I P- BROTHER YOU MADE ALOT OF PEOPLE HAPPY WITH YOUR MUSIC . AND BEST WISHES TO HIS FAMILY.
She was part of The Late George Duke Band. Shelia you roc .
Her whole Familys been playing since the 50s
Shes got Family thats been in a lot of bands even now.
Her Family goes back some Generations in Oakland.
For those of us who grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area we know this and more. Close in age to her. Before backing all of those other musicians she would play with her father as a teenager. Saw them play together many times. They even did an album together. Check it out if you can find it.
@John Fray Godfather not Grandfather.
Thank you for this info on Sheila E. Was she the former wife of Prince?
Awesome! I was in grade school when this song came out but I still jam to it whenever I hear it. Queen of the drums!
Sheila E. is the MOTHER EFFENN MANNN!!! I've always Loved this woman playing, goes to show, that Woman can do it just as good as a Man or better!!!!!
you missed the drummer behind her, playing most of what you are hearing. lame feminist wrong again!
Not true.
Def Leotard Eat Butt & Live Jerko!!
@@robokingofthecosmos7308 we know the difference between the kit and timbales, Lerch
RIP Prince. One of the greatest artists in music!
In high school, our band director would not let girls play the drum. He said that girls didn't have enough stamina. I wonder if he later saw Sheila E. in action & felt a rush of guilt.
Apparently he hadn't heard of Karen Carpenter. Outside of their mellow hits, she was a beast behind the kit.
Very good question and my guess is, if he was that far gone then...he didn't feel a thing, or shut it off, even. He could have fought the school policy (or his own)--he was the adult in the room.
My drum teacher (a man) and me (a girl) would only teach me during his lunch period. He'd eat, have long conversations with other adults who came into the room, and taught me next to nothing--seriously. It has taken me until now, age 54, for me to get comfortable with my percussion instruments. With the help of a great cassette tape (ironically, for children) that goes from simple rhythms to more and more complex ones, it's made drumming almost as easy as pie.
I wonder if you later saw the real drummer in the song playing most of the drum parts behind Sheila E. in action & felt a rush of guilt for not realizing who's making all those sounds.
WorkingWoman that’s a load of shit! Coming from a female drummer
WorkingWoman lol your band director was a moron
I was really feeling this! I accidentally had my headphones fly off my head a couple of times jamming so hard xD
I've been listening to Sheila E since 1984 aged 12...she's freaking awesome !!!
An absolutely incredible visceral live performance. This will never not be outstanding.
Hello dear how are you doing over there ?
First Denise (akaVanity), now Prince.....please Lord, let us keep Sheila for a long, long time.
I'd like to second that!
+MamaBoots1111 Amen! Was thinkin' the same thing while watching her rock that stage like she's 20. Respect!
+MamaBoots1111 Vanity is dead too??
+Michael Bauers she died in February of this year due to kidney failure
Amen
I love this woman. No broken high heels nor lost earrings! And still looks amazing! Thank you Prince for including her in the women whose careers you kickstarted.
I am so fortunate I was at this concert!!! I love Sheila E.! She is truly an amazing unique musician & a wonderful & strong woman. And Prince will live on 4ever in our hearts his music will never die. Thank you for your inspiration Sheila, & Prince.
I'm devastated. We love you Prince.
I was there at this concert . I was there with a friend that I now think of with any prince song that I hear. Was the best concert I have ever been to, very talented and very glad I got to go with my friend♡ We have since tried to see him again but every single show sold out! Within seconds, so this show will be the last memory of our concert days♡
She is unbelievable....talented...beautiful....wow!
WOW!!! GLORY 2-GOD...Our Prince has gone on 2-B with " THE PRINCE OF PEACE "...AMENTHE 1 & ONLY SHEILA E. who is like this girl today?B Encouraged Sheila Prince is not resting in peace...He's up there JAMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Prince is sooo awesome findin talent and Sheila E is one of them
Hey dear how are you doing over there ?
I keep watching this over and over... Sheila, you're the best!
Prince's stage was designed so that there was NEVER a bad seat in the house......he worked EVERY inch of that stage. Rip in peace beautiful one.
She is incredible! 🎹🎼🥁🥁🥁🥁
Hey dear how are you doing over there ?
Sheila E. was such an important band mate , and even more a friend through thick, and thin, and ups and downs for Prince....They had a very unique, and respect filled complex, but beautiful friendship....My heart goes out to you Sheila for the loss of your dear friend....We all hurt over this ....
💜💜💜💜💜
I know!!! Everybody was saying they wish he married Sheila, Im glad they didn't because they prob wouldn't have been friends till the end like they were. The love they had for one another was bar none. When Sheila heard of his passing she was on the first thing smoking to Minneapolis.
+ashpar21 ...they had a beautiful relationship. I know Prince was very private but I wish she would write a book about him.
Read her book 'The Beat of My Own Drum' she talks about him and their relationship in a few chapters.
+ashpar21 ty, I sure will!
One of my favorites percussionist Ms. Shelia E.
I would freak out if I saw Sheila E. I love sheila e
Saw her in Oz .....just 4 or 5 mtres away......incredible ,
She is amazing live
She is indeed xx
She's so bad ass! I saw her live when she opened for Prince on his Purple Rain tour. Seriously incredible show!
Me too in NY. Her drum sticks were lit up.
Boy I miss those days of Gold. 💃☔
THE BADDEST DRUMMER IN THE PLANET YASSS HUNI!
For damn sure!!!!!
For sure Sheila the best drummer $$$..
Nonsense. Merely box ticking.
I was better than her when i was ten.
I love watching her play!!!
I loved Sheila E from the very beginning on! I can remember, I was 2 times at the Prin´nce concert: sign of times, In Berlin, Germany. and wI was shouting my heart of for Sheila E and Cat 🙂. A absolute ÜPower woman to me I admired. Playing the drums (Men domain) in very elegant dresses and high heals!
The 127 that gave this amazing performance a thumbs-down, have not one damn clue! ;)
+Laura Reynolds Takes me back to my " clubbing " days, er, nights I mean. Way back before my 1st name was changed from Robert to daddy.
+1HUFFMAN For reals!
i love the chemistry that her and PRince always had together! both loved the same kind of music, both were genuine artists who loved those old fashioned jam sessions together, and the fact that they remained close all these years says something of the unique character of both. you almost cant separate the two sometimes. for when I think of Prince, one of the first people that comes to mind is Sheila! she must be feeling that loss of her kindred spirit so deep, more so than many because she knew him well and for so long! i would love it if she could help keep his memory alive and help direct this mess of a legacy he left behind! but Sheila, my friend, as a musician, you stand in your own right! a true musician! would love it if you wrote a memoir about your years with Prince and the tour of Purple Rain!
I both love and respect the talents of both Prince and Sheila E
Sheila wrote about her time with Prince in her 2014 memoir (The Beat of My Own Drum). Good book. I finished it today. 📖
the MOST AMAZING PERFORMANCE I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Miss Sheila, you rock it like there's no tomorrow. You're Royalty!!!
Thank you so much for posting this. I love this lady!!
THAT'S OAKLAND MAGIC !!!🌹
Hi dear how are you doing over there ?

One of the pillars of the music industry sheila e can never be touched
Hi dear how are you doing over there ?
Shelia experience woman's fire $$$$☆☆☆☆♡♡♡
We all know MTV and BET planning their tributes to Prince, now.... I think they need Sheila E to perform this song with the drum solo.
+Cornbread For real. Plus, they were still good friends.
I was there! Hubby took me there for our anniversary celebration. FUN night!!
Wow...lots of energy amongst his world as of late! I must say... I will 4ever be pleased to have lived in the time of Prince!
excuse me but she is beating the FUCK out of those drums... standing up! in heels... in a gown. standing up and singing... our generation sucks lmao
Piggy DS check out mononeon no it doesn't....it just doesn't get promoted.
Because there is nothing this great to promote. Show me kids today who can performing like Sheila and Prince. Today they go on tour and then get hospitalized for exhaustion a few weeks in.
I love Sheila. God Bless them all!!!
An amazing lady...oozing with talent!
Been to a couple of Prince concerts, outstanding shame he passed on.
Hey dear how are you doing over there ?
Who plays drums AND sings lead (pitch perfect) at the same time today. Simply awesome.
Shows growing not many great female drummers be blessed
QUEEN betta SLAY!!!
Absolutely amazing to watch and listen! Love the drums!!!
That made me feel good and brought some tears to my eyes. One of Prince's true friends.
That was one of the most entertaining thing i've seen on YT in a long time. Good memories . Thank u :)
I love seeing Sheila on the drums!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She lets every lil girl know they can do anything they put their mind to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG!!! WOW!!! I love Sheila E>> this never gets old..so divine!! as a teenager i'd pretend to be playing those drums
Sheila E was getting it in that dress and heels. She cold women ain't no joke on them drums and looks stunning. And the other lady in the high boots getting it too. I love it working in them heels.
Sheila E. One Prince's baddest proteges! That woman is BADD! Prince always thought outside the box! Loved Him!
She Is Just Awesomeness.. She Lets Her Talent Speak For Her.. She Has Rhythm, & Fire In Her Soul.. {Sheila E. Say It LOUD.. Sheila E. Say It LOUD}..
Damn! Just like I remember in concert during the Purple Rain tour. She tears it up!
+Felicia Barlow Clar I remember her in the mid 80's when she opened for Prince in Indianapolis. They turned off the lights and she played with glow sticks of different colors. To say she killed it is a gross understatement. When she finished bashing those drums, I was the one out of breath.
+Edwin Jones Oh yes!! She is woefully underestimated.
when I was little I wanted to be just like sheila e. :)

Fun-Sized Joan I wanted to be Prince
Badass! She is a percussionist artiste. The spirit of the drums moves her and she makes those bells more than bells. She shines brighter now than in decades past. Thank you, Diva Sheila E, we are blessed to be witness to your enduring talent, charisma and BADASSEDNESS!
PLEASE!,,,,,How hot is that? in a gown no less!
