Sheila E has had quite a career.
Check out our new episode here. Listen
She has a new Salsa collaboration with Gloria Estefan out and she considers it some of her finest work.
She is considered the greatest female drummer of all time, and she discusses her musical beginnings, playing with The George Duke Band in the mid-70’s, the impact her father had on her career and of course her time with Prince.
We discussed how she first met Prince and I asked her about his sense of humor and how true to life Dave Chappelle’s skit was about Prince shooting hoops. You’ll have to listen to hear what she says.
If you saw the great documentary about the We are the World session “The Greatest Night in Pop”, you know she is part of the storyline and we had to get her reaction to that piece of music history. I also asked her about Bob Dylan of course as well.
