Music used to be so beautiful! 💖

"Love is forever. That's all your life. Love is heaven sent. It's GLAMOROUS!" Long live Prince Rogers Nelson. Sheila E., you're fire, girl!!!

Prince's Purple Rain concert was my first and still to this day the best concert I ever attended (I was 12). Sheila E. did her thang. Her set was fire!!!!

YOU KNOW IT! PURPLE RAIN WAS MY VERY first concert, too. ABSOLUTELY the BEST...(&Sheila E. upstaged Prince. Yeah...no doubt that HE was excellent of course. I just had never seen a woman be so fierce, so talented, so smokin' hot and so unapologetically "OWNING IT!"

Same here! It was my first concert at 12 years old, February 1985, Daly City, CA!

Sheila we will always love you ! 😍

Fun fact: The guy on the sax is really Sheila’s brother Peter Michael who is Nicole Ritchie’s biological father. The girl on guitar is Sheila’s sister Zina & the guy on keyboard in the red shirt is her brother Juan. Love the nepotism 👍🏾

SHE was my favorite of all of prince,s women!! BAD ass all on her OWN! ALSO loved LISA,WENDY, and TEENA MARIE, a protegee of RICK JAMES! GREAT ,hot, 80,s girls!! confident,talented, and still today, no female music star ,plays her own drums!

My mommy loved this jam! I loved it too. My little self following my mommy. Didn’t know what a gem it was!! Glad I still have a ear for great music! RIH mommy!!

Right???

This song came out at a time when I really needed it. I was getting over a divorce and I remember how much it lifted my spirits every time I heard it. Still does.

Great song....... gorgeous lady

That's some gem! They knew how to make good music back then.
