Also, I assume in some universe Prince wanted Candy Dulfer to be the next Sheila E, right? I guess that didn't work.

Does anyone else like this lady's first two albums like I do?

I agree "A Love Bizarre" needs a chorus, though.

Album or single? Single = Classic Album = undecided

Wasn't sure which way the quoting of me was going. Had just woken up.
Peak Sheila E. moment (albeit Prince dominated) = The live performance of "A Love Bizarre" from the Birthday Parade video - will always put a idiot grin on my face.
And where is the love for "Toy Box" from In Romance 1600?
― Jedmond, Monday, 21 January 2008 00:20 (sixteen years ago) link
A live performance of A Love Bizarre from the Birthday Parade video! I'll have to seek that out. I was so disgusted by what I saw of her performance in that Krush Groove movie. What the hell was she doing a rap song for?
― Bimble, Saturday, 26 January 2008 09:25 (sixteen years ago) link
Does "Love Bizarre" even have much of a tune?? I always thought "The Glamorous Life" and "Belle of St. Mark" totally blew it out of the water, but maybe I'll go back and listen to it someday. (Then again, maybe it's just overrated by people who overrate Prince, after, like, 1982. In my head it sounds like a fair-to-middling Prince song.)
― xhuxk, Saturday, 26 January 2008 12:45 (sixteen years ago) link
There's really nothing too exceptional about A Love Bizarre. The song simply goes nowhere. It's pleasant enough, but goes nowhere. She's got so many other good songs from the first two albums that it doesn't matter.
I still say Prince was far less involved in what she did than the general consensus seems to be. Pure sexism, I say. Read the fucking liner notes. Tendency is to attribute nothing to her and that pisses me off.
― Bimble, Sunday, 27 January 2008 06:54 (sixteen years ago) link
And yes I know Prince gets a writing credit on A Love Bizarre. Big deal.
― Bimble, Sunday, 27 January 2008 06:55 (sixteen years ago) link
It's not "consensus" -- it's fact. He wrote or co-wrote most of those songs. I was disappointed when I found out!
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Sunday, 27 January 2008 08:30 (sixteen years ago) link
On her first two albums you mean? What about her third? And where is this information coming from? Why was she given writing credits and not him?
I'm not being accusatory or necessarily doubting you Alfred, I'm just trying to get more information. Her website doesn't seem to mention it...a Prince forum I found seems to assume he wrote one song...
― Bimble, Sunday, 27 January 2008 16:51 (sixteen years ago) link
Alex Hahn's Possessed: The Rise & Fall of Prince confirms his authorship of the first two Sheila E and most of the first three Time albums, and all of the Vanity 6 thing.

1st side of this album is perfect

why is there not more discussion of the Romance 1600 LP on ILM
I mean besides Love Bizarre which I am jamming now
interesting to think about this record in the context of "year after Purple Rain"
RIP Bimble

all sheila e enthusiasts should listen to the sheila e episode of this podcast http://www.thetrapset.net/sheila-e-solo-artist-prince-e-family/(you should also read her book but this is a much shorter route) she talks about everything and she is a legend and i love her
― La Lechera, Saturday, 8 August 2015 13:49 (eight years ago) link
Cool! I've listened to a couple eps of that podcast and Joe Wong is a drip, but Sheila E is worth diving back in.
― Johnny Fever, Saturday, 8 August 2015 14:09 (eight years ago) link
his line of questioning was really lame in the beginning (and periodically afterwards, i've listened to every episode i think) and i was worried about this episode but it's way way way better and he actually talks about drumming her description of how her dad's west coast style is different from trad latin drumming was really interesting and her description of a day in the life hanging out with My Friend Prince warmed my heart. i really enjoyed it. she has been through it all and is an inspiration.
― La Lechera, Saturday, 8 August 2015 14:13 (eight years ago) link
well he asks her about it, he doesn't talk much at all, thank goodness
happy 60th birthday sheila e!
if you have never heard this 9 min version of "The Glamorous Life" with added saxophone content and want to feel ok about life for 9 minutes, listen to this
