I vividly remember Pete bringing his daughter , Sheila ,onto the stage to play with him and I was smitten ! She was awesome and BEAUTIFUL!
Fast forward and I turn on Video Soul and the same beautiful woman was performing “Glamorous Life “ via the video.
She still looks great ! 🤎
Sending Sheila love & flowers for being such a positive & creative musical influence in my youth.
Can't even imagine life without Glamorous Life.
Sheila KILLED that song at the American Music Awards in the 80s.
And it's still relevant today.
Her fashion, her music, her talent, that "tastefully" understated feminine style & mystery she cultivated...
What a blessing to have lived thru & experienced the era of The Minneapolis Sound.
We need to document her journey for the history books.
Bring her back! Monthly!
👏🏽 💐
Awesome Part II. Long live the Ever-Glamorous, Queen of Percussion Sheila E. 👑 🥁
