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.
