Sheila E. sings the 'Glamorous Life' at the 1985 AMA's

I love Sheila E.  She's my absolute favorite female percussionist.  No, scratch that.  She's my absolute favorite percussionist.. period.  I will never forget sitting in front of the TV in 1985 watching the American Music Awards.  Sheila E. performed her hit the 'Glamorous Life' and I was transfixed.

I had never seen a drummer with such showmanship and talent on the Timbales, not to mention such a beautiful one at that!  Check out the performance below that will forever remain burned into my memory banks.  If you don't want to watch the entire video, skip ahead to the 3:03 mark and see what made my jaw drop and gave me chills from head to toe..
