"The Glamorous Life" is a song written by Prince in 1984 and first recorded by singer/percussionist Sheila E.. The dance song has lyrics which reflect a cynicism for the decadence and materialism of the song's protagonist, referred to in the third person, who "wants to lead a glamorous life", although she is aware that "without love, it ain't much".
"The Glamorous Life" was originally intended to be recorded by the short-lived replacement act for Vanity 6, girl group Apollonia 6. Prince allegedly had several tracks lined up for the trio to record for their 1984 debut album (and by some accounts, their follow up album as well) but abandoned the idea when he learned that lead singer Apollonia Kotero had no desire to stay in the group beyond her contractual obligations as designed for her movie role in Purple Rain.
Prince decided to give the song to Sheila E. who was fresh off her duet on Prince's "Erotic City". "The Glamorous Life" would be recorded by Sheila and go on to launch her solo career.
"The Glamorous Life" was the title track and closing song on Sheila E.'s debut solo album, and reached number 7 on the U.S. pop charts, as well as number 1 on the U.S. dance charts, and earned a Grammy Award nomination.
Sheila's live performances of the song became memorable events, most notably for her percussion solo towards the end of the song. Depending on the occasion, she would either spin around several times while drumming without missing a beat during the rigorous solo, place one highly elevated foot on a snare while standing on the other leg mid-solo, or perform with glow-in-the-dark drumsticks. While the solo featured in the song helped to bolster Sheila E.'s fame, all subsequent versions of this song have no drum solo at all.
Shelia plays drums like a virtuoso, sings marvelously, and does it all in HIGH HEELS! LOL! How could you possibly beat Shelia E! C'mon folks am I right?

I’m a death metal drummer and Sheila is one of my favorite drummers.🤘❤️🥁
Billy Squier and Richard Marx playing a Prince song with Sheila E. Bizarre in the best possible way.
Ringo lets her shine and plays drums on her songs! Sheila E in high heels! 👠
SHEILA E IS MY GIRL. I'M A PERCUSSIONIST AND WHEN I SAW HER, AFTER THE GIGS, SHE EMBRACE ME AND I FEEL, APRECIATE IT. SHE ASK ME, WHERE I WAS. MY RESPECT FOR HER. A LOT OF PEOPLES, DON'T APRECIATE, WHAT'S A GREAT PERCUSSIONIST.
Wow! She killed it. Ringo really did a good job with these tours.
That's why she is the Queen of percussion!
She is great!
Ringo had some groove going on there also.
how can you not love sheila E? she's BAD ASS.
a great percussionist with an excelent drummer at the back! :D
And don’t forget, mr Winter at keyboard 🎹, such a talented
Musicians!!

chinita 67 Yeah plus you have to remember who her relative is. But still yeah awesome.

Love how Ringo shares the stage.
Clean and soft voice beautiful performance Sheila E. 💝💝💝💝
I love this song and it never goes out of style AND homegirl doesn't seem to age!!!!!!
she killed that solo
My Lord. Talk about age gracefully. She's not old, it's just beautiful to see her get older. Just all kinds of pretty. I can't.
+Mannchild11 I like her better now. I thought she was pretty before, but now? Ohhhh Yeah! Talk about aging gracefully...ever see Amii Stewart lately?
@@jukingeo just seen her to night she 62 and she is super pretty
Sheila is fantastic. Women drummers are rarity, especially of such big talent
Ringo and Sheila E. Wow!!
What a combination. I never thought Ringo would do a song like this though.
WAIT!!! WAIT!!! I MUST BE IN HEAVEN!! Ringo playing drums on a Prince song AND holding it down !!! A Beatle jamming on a Prince song!!
Prince jamming on a Beatles song - While My Guitar Gently Weeps 2004
Happy birthday Ringo 7/7/23 🎉☮️💜
Sheila kills it but this is probably also the only time Ringo has been on drums alone on an all Starr band tour
Love Sheila E. Great drummer and she can definitely sing. She looks amazing here
Just realizzed that Richard Marx was on guitar!!! Holy balls!!! So badass
I saw Shelia E with Ringo Starr's All Star Band in Wheeling West Virginia a few years ago. I wasn't expecting much, BUT...I walked away with a profound awareness and respect for Shelia E. If Ringo wasn't on stage it would have been a Shelia E concert. SHE was outstanding...She stole the show from everyone with her talent and energy. She was amazing!!! She was on fire and spot on with everything she did on stage. WOW !!!
Great Shiela E... great female drummer ,her name was on the limelight in the 80's..
Wow is Sheila E. amazing or what? I so wish that I could see her perform alongside other greats like Edgar Winter and the whole Ringo Starr lineup... wow!
Well now you can! Introducing UA-cam...only 29-ninety-nine-99-95 per day. Some exclusions apply.
A 50 year old Sheila E.
Just blown away
Say Ringo years ago and the thing I remember most is that everyone in the band: (a) was really good; (b) seemed to all genuinely like and respect each other, and (c) looked like they really had a good time playing together. Ringo as a bandleader seems a role he handles well.
George also played guitar on Billy Preston's early albums , John played and co-wrote fame(David Bowie) , Paul had several R&B HITS . Just more proof the BEATLES were the greatest band all time. I love Sheila E she was on a poster in my dorm room ...lol. PRINCE RIP
I always wanted to be just like her when I was younger!#1fan
Muchas felicidades grandes músicos juntos como el universo
Wow, she absolutely rocks!
I always thought Sheila E should lead her own all-star band of musicians (with Ringo's blessing, of course), consisted of all famous female artists. Here's who I can envision Sheila E's Lady All-Stars, at least back in the day:
Sheila E - lead vocals, drums
Joan Jett - lead guitar
Susanna Hoffs - (The Bangles) rhythm guitar
Christine McVie - (Fleetwood Mac) keyboards
Tina Weymouth - (Talking Heads) bass
Candy Dulfer - sax
Roxy Petrucci (Vixen) - drums
Cesare Augusto That would be a hell of a band!
Unfortunately, I think Christine McVie is retiring.
Pure Genius!!!!
Sheila E, what a drummer, Love it!
SHEILA...BRAVISSIMA
Goodness! She's got mad skill and she is so fine!!!
hard to believe that this December this Beautiful Queen will be 60 all i can say is WOW😍❤❤❤❤❤

Fuck she goes off on them drums.
She can drum on me anytime! What an amazing talent!
Ringo and Edgar Winter playing a Prince song? Nice.
id bet edgar could do some magic with prince
+batlizard37 I thought the same thing! Prince and Edgar Winter would make an interesting team!
Love it. How old was Ringo when this show was filmed? Still rock steady after all these years. Just wind him up...
Immensa Sheila !!!
I love her .I have been with her since I was 5 now 45 oh yes girls rule lol
i like sheila e thats my favorite drummer . i like drumming but i dont have drums.in 2005 i watch sheila e drumming my favorite song of sheila e is the glamorous life
la amo.
Prince is in her...... Wow!
OMG... I'm only 1 month older than her!!! Makes me absolutely WANT her, still hot n stunning at 52... almost 53! (the drumming isn't bad either!)
Think Rihanna or Miley Cyrus can do this? REAL TALENT!
Right.... some entertainers "act" sexy.... and some, like Shelia a-r-e Sexy. :)
Rihanna's voice is her instrument, there's no need to compare you can like them all! Just because someone doesn't play an instrument doesn't make them less of an artist, tell Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson or Mariah Carey they're not talented artists!
Oh Shit Ringo's wearing a Def Leppard t-shirt!!
Is it me, or is Ringo wearing a Def Leppard T-shirt?
sm...sm...smmmokin hot!!
Sheila E. looks amazing! Even though this video is from 2010, Sheila would have been around 50 at the time but doesn't look it. Even today she looks great.
+Amy Beth The video is actually from 2006, and she does play good for a 50 year old
Ringo keeping time......good for a 70 year old also. I love Sheila E.......
géniale :-)
Who they went their yes who 😊
Love Sheila Love Ringo but where's the Revolution when you need them?
You can easily tell and see how close Prince and Sheila E are have been, because in the end she is acting like Prince! Consciously or unconsciosly when people are close they are taking over some mimics e.g. behaviors.
Go Ringo! Go! What a match! This should have been performed for the Queen! Those snobbish Brits. They dont know what theyre missing with this match! The best he's ever played in a lifetyme! observe his stability of rhythmic technique upon which she goes wild with invention. Go girl! Teach those naughty arrogant brits! Give them bloody hell! The 👑 queen would have loved that! Then the world would have witnessed the real her! Observe though Ringo never really got rid of that traditional british stiffness. He's still a brit. on drums.
😮💃🌛🌷🎤🥁
Edgar Winter playin keys on Glamorous Life? I believe Prince woulda loved it.
Look at Ringo getting down on the drums! That is probably the closest thing to funky he ever played.
Straight 4/4 beat. My cat could play it.
que señora mas marchosa
best moment 3:17 - 3:37 owwwwwwwaoooooooooo
:51😍
Baddest Grandmotha on the fkn planet
2:40 to 3:18 beyond proof, ...(breaks a stick and grabs another without any one noticing) then till the end (at about 4:00)........If you cant play like a girl...then you should go home....PS: I'm a dude!
First time viewing for me - Yes; she's Bringing it. And playing like a girl sounds pretty good. Peace - D
I guess playing drums will give a girl great looking shoulders!
3:07 = Fellow foot men! Alert! ;-) lol
How hard is it to play drums like that?
VERY
Edgar was checking her out all along, oh yea
Ringo wearing a Def Leppard t-shirt
Poor Sheila....the band doesn't keep up with her! Check out her version with Candy Dulfur
She's still hot!
I believe Sheila is 49 here
