Sheila E. Performs “The Glamorous Life” | 2024 A Capitol Fourth

[@NjoyLife_yall]

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!

[@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% 😂

[@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.

[@maewest4192]

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

[@maudinerichardson3361]

The Queen of Percussion ❤

[@charlese1293]

She learned from her father Pete Escovedo😂

[@tiffanysanderson8369]

...right 👍🏾

[@angelahannon-littlejohn]

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

[@Mellie]

NOBODY does what she does, nobody and it's been that way since the 80s.

[@phillipscott1881]

She took her shoes off, so you know she was putting her heart and soul in it😊

[@mymovingcrewsupportteam4491]

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

[@rhondalong152]

She still has it,after all these years!!!!!!

[@elove2.038]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾‼️

[@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.

[@MrMwolf69]

You're only old as you feel,and I remember the good times.

[@richardmoreno1338]

Bring the American people together Sheila.

[@Charmayne7]

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]

Her band is really amazing

[@waltersanchez2356]

She looks and sounds Amazing 😊😊

[@VocalVirgo]

This may very well be the best live musical performance in the last decade! Damn Girl!!

[@tooniemama6959]

Wow!! The incomparable Miss Sheila E!! Amazing performance!! She has an amazing stage presence and she is a phenomenal performer!! She looks fabulous! It's not hard to see why Prince loved and admired her, immensely! I always loved this song! Love you, Sheila! 🇺🇸 ❤

[@sk8queen]

40 years ago we played this song in our high school band. The memories!!!!!!

Sheila and Prince would have made an extraordinary couple. Just think about the amount of more music that they would have created. She did a tremendous job in this performance.

[@kishadykstra7503]

Im over here like sheesh if I was in the crowd, it would be word for word! They just don't know!

[@fingerforce]

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

[@auntiegravity7713]

Sheila E. is so underrated. This looks like a masterclass in how band members communicate almost telepathically. This is so tight and impressive. The audience, however, is another story. I think it went over most of their heads.

[@Greenz1100]

God bless her. Queen Sheila is amazing.

[@BiBlackCar1]

We cannot ignore the Princess sound is all over this performance

[@tooniemama6959]

Yes, and the guitar sounds like Prince ❤

We gotta give it up for how amazing it is for her to play those drums and sing at the same time. That takes great skill, coordination and talent!!!!! PROPS to a LEGEND!!!!!!

[@RodelRamos-m1t]

DAMN - I had the 45 of this single! Sad no one seems to know the words to the song. One of the best!
