Sheila E - The Belle Of St. Mark • TopPop

[@AlexanderNevermind888]

I remember buying The Glamourous Life album the day it was released, back in 1984. Hitting play at the very beginning and hearing this amazing song as an opener. I knew then that I would wear that album out, and I did. The zone Prince was in during the 80s was the thing of legends. He was churning out amazing music for himself, Sheila E, The Time, Mazarati, The Family, The Bangles, Stevie Nicks...he was existing on an entirely different universe than the rest of the world. We will NEVER see another artist like him.

[@marknc9616]

Sheena Easton too.

[@EightiesMusiqLover]

@@marknc9616 and Apollonia 6.

[@danielwebb1171]

Absolutely correct.

[@edward737]

True there will be no other artiest like Prince , I will love Prince 4 ever

[@WizardOfWhoopee]

Prince's late 70's stuff was a little odd. You cannot find it anywhere nowadays. It's as if he had it removed from existence. The super-high-pitch vocals and prancing videos.

[@eddieboyky]

You absolutely cannot get more 80s than this

[@briansaiditsoitmustbetrue4206]

I would say Depeche Mode... Just can't get enough, Can match it for "80s ness"

[@acefrehley3797]

DON'T YOU BEN LIEBRAND FROM 1983 UNTIL 2023. EVERY YEAR OLSO: "THE GRANDMIXEN" FIRST ONLY ONE HOUR. AND LATER THREE HOURS. SO WHEN I AM OUTSITE. I HAVE ALWAYS GOOD MUSIC. BEN LIEBRAND DOES MORE. AND HE IS EVEN MORE TIMES WORLD CHAMPION MIXING MUSIC.

How could you not love the 80s? I can smell the hairspray from here.

I bet they were good if you were straight or in a large city.

I love & miss the 80's music. Sheila is great ..I love her songs Glamourous Life, Love Bizarre & Hold me . but unfortunately I just don't like this song .

[@sasicmirko]

The Prince's masterpiece. A true pop artist.R.I.P.

[@darrellspencer3934]

Fantastic song, brings back great memories. I hear the "Prince Sound" all over this tune. God, I miss the '80s!

[@charlienorton2337]

that would probably be because prince played all the instruments on this song

[@Themanwhocameback2]

I came home today feeling kinda down. i though of this song and this video, and came here. Pure Joy. I feel so much better now.

[@_KeepingitReal]

Even after 30+ years its still one of my favorites! Her voice and drum skills are phenomenal.

[@anthonybrown429]

Oooooihv Yeah.. Forgot about that

[@Karazorel.Ms.PG1]

She so classh and talented and i love how the band is behind her. Her voice and band has healing powers

[@longstreet0163]

Brings back memories. You can tell that prince has his stamp on this song. Both visually and sound wise it's the Revolution alright.

[@original.dwornboy]

Prince was The Revolution. He played ever instrument on the record. The others only joined him at love concerts pal.

What a brilliant performance. Can't stop watching them. Choreography out of this world compared to others.

The Jets

[@jondishmonmusicandstuff2753]

You were doing good until you said. The choreography was the best that you've seen trust me. It is not that good but the song is great trust me. You should try listening to the jets crush on you if you want to see choreography from a group or a band they were amazing.

[@yotubek]

Does it really get any hotter than this 80s funk diva? She is spectacular here. There was something so incredibly beautiful and seductive about the way she sang and moved on stage back then. And what a beautiful voice for this style! I always thought Sheila was like the perfect Prince partner, her and the earlier Vanity stuff. Sheila E. forever, and peace and love to all of you who loved her from the beginning.....as did I.

A lot of work must have gone into the choreograpy, really pleasing to watch. First time i've seen this.

I was searching for a Sheila track outside her two hits and wasn't feeling what I was finding and then stumbled on this gem. Great vibe and killer performance by the whole band.

[@MrCatalysis101]

Put very simply, I absolutely love this.

[@jigsterify]

I think this is the clearest 80s music video clip I’ve ever seen

[@ajs41]

Most of the videos on the TopPop channel are very clear like this.

[@KevinAnderssonW]

@it's me This is a P. A. Paisley Park did not produce a music video for the song.

[@zeddeka]

Back in those days, North America and Europe used different television systems. America used NTSC which had a much lower pixel count and produced worse picture quality. Most of Europe used the PAL system which had a higher pixel count and therefore much better picture quality. Top Pop was made in the Netherlands, so better quality PAL pictures.

You can hear the sound of prince everywhere. He was the closest thing to the source of music that this world has ever seen. The source lent them to us for a few years, and then I guess wanted him back. We are so fortunate to even have had him for a few years.

On one level, this is hilarious. A "band" mocking a song where it's pretty much just one guy (Prince) playing keyboards and drums. They did the whole "everyone steps the same way" thing that all the Prince projects were known for (and there were a lot of them in the 80s), but also... This is a very good pop song.
