Sheila E. The Glamorous Life January 28, 1985

Few moments in '80s pop were as thrilling as when Sheila E. would get behind her drum set. The Prince percussionist (and eventual Magic Hour bandleader!) tears it up a little in the intro to and between the verses of her still-a-total-jam signature hit "Glamorous Life" here, but once she gets adorned with her fur-coat cape (a la James Brown) and really gets going with the glow-in-the-dark drumsticks, that's when shit gets real. Not many of the Purple One's acolytes could match him in terms of showmanship, but Sheila certainly had her moments.
