Shelia E is music royalty. Her Dad is a superb drummer who taught her, her godfather is Tieto Puente, her uncle is Alajandro Escovedo. Many in the Escovedo family were pioneers in music. She played with everybody including Prince.
Totally agreed. Very talented family.
"royalty" is pathetic
didnt play with the goat mj
@@AC-mp7cx all 3 together with janet on a song would have been too much to be shown live - the crowd would pass out everyone of all ages
Agreed
Sheila has aged like fine wine. Legend in the music industry.
She is classy.
Yes she has. She's prettier now than when she 1st. started in music.
Omg she Is so gorgeous.
she neds a makeover. hair color is too heavy.
Sheila E. and Prince were the perfect male/female counterparts of each other. Both multi-instrumentalist prodigies. Sheila E is such a musical genius to me.
talent isnt measured by ability to play many instruments
Nope
You can still see the pain in her face from the loss . She is a legend .
What a lovely person Sheila E is. I could listen to her stories for hours. Such a kind and gentle soul.
Yes, I like how chill she is. Her voice is calming.
Such a humble and beautiful woman, with a career, talent, and love for music like not many. Young people learn...
Bad woman right there... she could play every instrument on stage🎤🎷🎸🎺🎹🥁
She is so humble and a straightforward person. I adore her. Thank you for sharing this. God bless.🙏🍀❤️
Sheila is a legend & as far as I'm concerned she is and will remain the greatest female percussionist of my lifetime. I don't remember how.... but years & years ago I started a Lionel Richie fan club and at one point told him she was going to break off on her own because of her talent. Watching her banging on those congas is life-changing... then the lights go out, she grabs something and ALL YOU SEE ARE THOSE STICKS GLOWING AND FLYING and YOUR HEART Races. For more than 30 years I have followed her and god I can't speak enough about how wonderful, personable, and sincerely genuine she is. I sat next to her on the bench in LB at a celebrity basketball game and she was just so cool, and she is little too. And Prince I can not talk about because there is too much i need to say. we did not deserve his genius. He was a GIFT that wasn't cherished
In the past i was in a abusive relationship from 17-19 years. At 19 i finally chose for myself and broke free. When i was 20, i first heard Prince' music. I truly felt liberated from the pain left from the relationship. I'd also like to thank Sheilae e, for her wonderful music. She is a strong woman and i am truly grateful for the music she makes. Greetings from Holland. San Roses.
Love her & she’s still gorgeous!!! Miss Prince;(
Shelia E Thank you so much for being who you are, what you have done ,what you are doing now. I admire everything about you. There will never be another Shelia E 💜💜💜💜😘
There will not be another Shelia E💜💜💜😘
She is beautiful and just down to earth. loved her since the 80's.
She seems gifted, classy and I love her speaking voice
She is still stunning. Still amazing (see her tribute to Prince) musically.
I absolutely love her. What a beautiful soul.
Always had a crush on Sheila E., love that woman!!!
Me too.
HAD??!?! I still do and always will!!!!!
The music industry needs to create more outlet platforms to keep music alive and important in people’s lives.
Love me some Sheila E. Ain't no other like her, she's beautiful n her music is a part of history 💜💜💜💚❤
Prince was a one in a original entertainer so unique in his profession; He will be missed
Did y'all see Sheila's reaction when Larry said Prince name, she gasped. I felt that. She loves him, really loves him. They are soulmates.
Yes , she gasped !
So what was cat, mayte, Manuela Andy and all the others he probably didnt look at in broad day light? Just thinking about your Commit....he just sang with her unless she had A secret no one knows about. Cat as well.
She was really affected in that moment.
I really like her attitude. She seems genuine to me. I hope she can do whatever it takes to encourage music as an art is kept alive. It all starts with an instrument and practise. I admire her stamina to. Nice interview.
Agree,the music business needs more like her.
She's got a beautiful soul. That's why they loved eachother. Woman with class
She's got great stage persona...off camera she's a bully !
I love this woman. Classy, family oriented, grateful, and super talented.
Very humble lady especially to have that sort of status in the music industry. I love watching her playing, she has that special kind of something about her❤️
Just like you said,the late great Larry King,"What a delight"she is.She's well spoken,very talented and so knowledgeable and experienced.Wonderful interview!
"There's 100's of songs that I recorded with him that I've not heard yet" Sheila E. WOW!!!! can't wait till his music in the vault starts being released 🤟💜
Seriously!!!!! His archivist said that he has enough to release 35 songs a year......for 2,500 YEARS!!!!!!!!
@@jeffffro7674 what are they waiting for😩😄🕊
Would love to hear new Prince music.
WOW.....and wonder "who" has THAT catalogue?????? Interesting....🤔
Yeah...right
Prince was unique. He was the best.
I want to live that life , The Glamorous Life , I'll always respect and ador Sheila E and Prince💜🛐💜🛐
She is one of the best period and a classy womqn
Shelia E's tribute to prince was the best blowing everyone else's away
i'm glad she mentioned Karen Carpenter!
Me too! People forget that Karen played.
Beth Mills I did.
Well apparently Larry too dumb to be aware of ANY other ladies playing drums!
You are one BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, both in and out and in every way!!! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent with us all, the great energy you put out, and all your hard work!!! Miss “The GREAT Artist” too and always will. Love ya Shiela E. ❤️🙏🏻
I am so glad to have had the pleasure to hear Sheila I learned so much from her Thank you
I love her. She is so beautiful inside and out. Also R.I.P. Larry King
I got her autograph. She wrote backwards and I had to look in a mirror to read it. 100% unique individual.
O my gosh she looks great miss u prince
The song is really sweet & goes back to when they were both just kids. A love like that (even a friendship) only comes along once in a lifetime. Even though now there's pain since He's gone, the ride was phenomenal & worth it. The song means a lot even to me because I was a kid when I first saw/heard him in '77 (not '78) playing/writing/singing on his cousins album (Minneapolis Genius) j& I have the album. Seeing him on the cover of For You......then Prince & the first time on American Bandstand, I was in Love? as a kid (not even a teenager). In concert years later when he said "I Love You too Baby" (He actually heard me I was so close & the arena was quiet during the intro to Purple Rain). He captured my heart for Always! PRINCELUV4EVER!!!
I have loved his music since he made Purple Rain
his mid 80s albums were good
Love you Sheila E, missing Prince.
Her eyes are watering during this video. She was still grieving.
What a sweet, wonderful person she is! I felt that already yesterday when we were at a fantastic concert here in the Netherlands!
Her father has to be one of the proudest Dad's in the world! Sheila E & Prince are from my and a misunderstood underappreciated generation, Civil Rights War babies. Respectful intelligent revolutionary's. Forever lovable!
Excellent Interview Shelia E. Much success to you. Beautiful and beautiful song Boy Meets Girl - loved the strings !!!! Thank You Shelia E.
I love that La Sheila E mentioned Karen Carpenter. Love them both ❤❤
Sheila E will always be stunning and a super talent 100 years from now people still be listening to Prince I love you Sheila whose beauty is matched by none
such a lovely soul she is.
PRINCE WE MISSE YOU A LOT.. RIP..!
This woman is so classy and talented. A bright bright light in the world.
She is a great musician and a great lady also and has had a great career and I hope she is doing fine.
Love You Sheila E
Sheila!! Sheila!! You made me want to be musical and strong. Thank you for sharing your Love.
Such a gorgeous woman! Bless her! I hope she can one day release that music and share with the world! 💜
Sheila's a great drummer, interesting to listen to, really liked Prince's music growing up, would love to hear some of the songs they did which haven't yet been released!
She Is so Classy... Never Sold Prince Out.
Ummm not so sure.. according to Apollonia , she did.
Shiela is so beautiful every time i see her she’s expressing 💜🧚🏾♀️🧚🏾♀️ Her infatuation with prince she’s so into prince well she did spend 🧚🏾♀️ Many many years around prince you can see she’s a huge fan of prince Im sure she would have loved more out of her and prince relationship 🧚🏾♀️ Love you girl and I know how hard it was to hold your desire around prince
you are so right that she is so beautiful and respectful
Sheila E , your a great Inspiration!!!
In away prince gave alot of women a push to be there best! in the music world.
Fantástica entrevista con una Sheila E espléndida dando unas respuestas que me ha permitido conocerla mucho mejor, gracias por compartirlo con nosotros Larry
Be on time. Be courteous. Be respectful.
SHEILA .. !! I LOVE YOUUUUU..!!! YOU ARE A GREAT ARTIST..AND BEAUTIFUL WOMAN OF ALL TIME.
For those of you that are paying attention: Here is a man they say died of an overdose of drugs, but his former fiancé says she's never even seen him take an aspirin. Very interesting.
Sheila E. is so intelligent and wise and grounded. Look for a new wave of appreciation for her. She's always been a star, and here she shines with potential. She'd be great in a movie, and I can't help thinking a collaboration with Rita Coolidge would be amazing!!!
💜...............passed the torch🔥
Good interview. Thanks Larry.
Sheila. I can't listen to it. It's so GOOD, it makes me cry. Your Tribute..the on stage Tribute...was the Best. Period. Thanks.
So much RESPECT for this *powerhouse* of a woman! She is such a *LADY* + my goodness, she looks AH-MAZING at age 60!!! ( _This is how you grow older "gracefully" ladies, by taking care of your body + your diet, and NOT by Botox, Silicone, + Plastic surgery!_ )
She still beautiful!
Beautiful! Great interview.
Wonderful conversation - Great Sheila E. - thank you so much
What a great interview! Great stuff.
I love you Sheila E.
Awesome interview Sheila E! You're a legend
Apparently, Prince stopped talking to Sheila and they had not spoken for over 2 years after she was asked not to mention their relationship in her book. She is also fibbing here, as she says something very different in her book about when their relationship ended, it was due to not only changes within the band but he going off with women behind her back. Prince was never loyal to one woman, he was a player..
I always thought Sheila E. was so cool and different. I saw the music video Glamorous Life. I saw how she was playing the drums, and I was mesmerized by this woman who plays the drums. They call it percussion. She is a talented female Latina celebrity and musician in her own right.
Prince put music first, b4 anything or anybody. It was hard 4 any woman to constantly compete with that. So, much respect 2 Sheila. An absolute great talent...period.!!!
My god she is so lovely. Her personality and warmth...just fell in love...
Sheila e is so gorgeous
PRINCE was a great performer and entertained the best..soo missed and in his life ,things just got messed up and everybody goes through tough times once in a awhile,don't you think..but,help could have been needed and given..Prince was a legend at what he attempted ..Prince played the guitar and sang so terrific ..never forgotten in our lifetime..always be remembered and so cool
Badass percussionist and what a beautiful woman
Great interview! Shelia is awesome!
This was a wonderful interview and hearing her talking about Prince, among other things, from an inside perspective was fascinating. She's classy and well spoken, and IMO? A better role model than someone like Cardi B. or Katy Perry. Good show!
I love Sheila E.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love you Sheila!
I love it thanks shelia e i love went prince be together i glad you came back thank you sister keep it going pray pray pray
Sheila E came from the family of great musician & music partner of Prince. What a great talent she is! May 30,2021
She is amazing ❤
Love 💜 Sheila E & everything she speaks on & works towards. Need to connect to her site!
So classy and super talented.
Great interview!!!!
Surprisingly good interview
Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo spécial interview d artistes talentueux.
I love her!
Never like how Larry King interrupts when a guest is answering one of his questions. Really wanted 2 hear Sheila's dialog on Karen Carpenter (08:10).
Nice interview once again.👩🏻🦱
Sheila E is one of my favourite musicians. Prince used to say on stage " not bad for a girl" . It's amazing what she's achieved. As a matter of fact she is one of the top ten drummers of all time. In fact I remain thankful that she played princes lovesexy at Wembley in 88. What a role model for young female musicians.
she is just amazingly beautiful, even more now than before
Such a lovely person, such a class act and so talented. I have been a big fan of hers ever since she did 'The Glamorous Life'.
Always a huge fan of Sheila E from the early 80s to present. Just a great musician👍
Admirable human being.astute,caring and a genius. Sincerely , Dale Bozzio
Sheila E......I'm in awe of you.
Sheila you really should check out Nandi Bushell the 11 yr old little girl from the uk. She’s a phenomenal drummer and also plays guitar, base, keyboards and saxophone. I think Sheila would be the perfect role model for this little girl. She has already caught the eye of many famous musicians. And her appreciation for music is infectious. She’s a ray of sunshine ☀️
