Wow! Sheila E. is 66 and putting on a performance like she's 20!

[@goddess-innergy]

I saw her perform last night… I’m still shook! A total legend!

[@AK-jw7rx]

​@@goddess-innergyLucky!

[@haileyw6609]

She is so gifted and talented!

[@johnrosado8995]

so true

[@gusgrimm7533]

Whoa! That was superhuman. Imagine you're in like 8th grade and THAT's ur grandma.

[@TeXXicJA]

Something tells me that if Prince were still with us, he'd give that performance his signature grin. Sheila E is legendary!

[@Anonymous-by5jp]

He's smiling wherever he is

[@JEANJOSEPHS-cv8ke]

The dead are never really gone… they live through their music, etc.

[@doobly140]

you mean the artist formerly know as.... alive?

[@curtisbryan7614]

So underated. One of the best to ever do it.

[@JEANJOSEPHS-cv8ke]

@@doobly140 No 🤪😜😛 Although dead, he still lives through his music!

[@cathy1520]

She is still beautiful. Women half her age would be lucky to look this good.

[@elenaarman-tang7811]

Yesss 🤩 She is 66 I believe and full of energy.

[@AK-jw7rx]

So beautiful

[@reneereeves8530]

Still look so young😊❤❤

[@benhague3923]

Stop lying, I used to crush on her. Those days are long gone.

Money doesn’t age you😂🤣😂 it help keeps you young🤫

[@maudinerichardson3361]

The Queen of Percussion ❤

[@Dizzy1980]

Not a single person in the crowd knows a single lyric. I'm standing here singing along to the whole song. Damn, I feel old.

[@rollotomassi4768]

yep. i was laughing too. there gotta be one person that remembers her come on.

[@bessk8847]

They may be a young crowd ...they were enjoying it 🎉🎉❤

[@suzannahschulthies1260]

I was just about to reply to the same thing before I saw your post! I'm standing here doing my hair and makeup in the bathroom and singing along, but when I heard her tell the audience to sing, I glanced at my phone and saw that nobody was singing --- because they're all too freaking young to know who she is or know this song!🤣 That, and some of them maybe just aren't cool enough to know this song.😂

[@CrestoneMountains]

Incorrect! (Thank God!) Really young man to the right of her who is immediately to the left of the backup singer sings, "real love, is real scary" at 1:23 and the guy in the sun hat and glasses right behind her at 1:38 sings the chorus. I was sooooo happy to see some singing, especially anyone young!!!!! Gave me hope lol. And I can see because I'm watching on my TV.

[@msekanne2138]

I was saying the samethin!!😩😂😂😂

[@angelahannon-littlejohn]

Shelia E, still rocking the house in 2024💃🏽💃🏽

[@richardmoreno1338]

Bring the American people together Sheila.

[@ObadiahRainwater]

This crowd doesn’t truly appreciate how amazing this performance was. That’s all I’ll say…..

[@dionysusbond3516]

Your average DC tourist is not the target demographic of this epic performance.

[@wildone008]

Some of these folks probably weren't that familiar with Sheila E. To people like myself, I know she's one of Prince's talented protégé. The glamorous life is a classic. But I am sure there are people who may never have heard of it.

[@AK-jw7rx]

Agreed! She's an icon , this is a classic song and not one single person even knew the chorus? Come on! Her guitar player was fire 🔥 also. Smh. She killed this performance. The one and only legendary Sheila E.

[@citygirlingraham]

Right, she’s amazing, love her.

[@alexanderfrantz5299]

@@wildone008 some ? if I had to guess I‘d say 90% 😂

Shelia E is a Legend!!! If you’re singing along, you know who this is. Prince is smiling right now. 💜

I love how most of her band is older also, as if they are all old friends still playing together after all these years.

[@tooniemama6959]

The only thing is missing is Prince's backup vocals. I know he is beaming with pride watching Shelia from above. 💜

…and, her guitarist was NUTS!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@msde625]

When I was in middle school I taught myself how to play the chorus when I was practicing the piano. 😊 Sheila E is an amazing musician.
