Sheila E. is a part of one of music’s most legendary organizations, Prince’s organization. However, she is a legend in her own right, and she has hits under her belt. Her debut single, “The Glamorous Life,” was her highest charting hit single. However, Sheila E. had her impact on the music industry for the better part of the next decade. Forty years later, her music is still getting play. To Sheila’s own surprise, the people still know her, even in the mall.
Sheila E. represents the 1980s and music in the 80s doesn’t quite exist without her. The 1980s were a transitional period in music and in real life. As a result, many figures who dominated the 80s were an afterthought by the 1990s. However, the 2010s began a nostalgic period, where people began to embrace music from previous generations. Now, many people are receiving the recognition they deserve as the legends they are.
Sheila E. was recently in the mall and she noticed something. All these years later, she noticed an appreciation for her music. While she was at the center of the mall, a man was playing her music on a boombox. As Sheila E. heard this, she was pointing out how the man was playing her music, but probably doesn’t know who she is. Immediately after she said that, the man walked up to her, said “What’s up, Sheila E.,” and hugged her, as he walked off.
