Did you hear it before or after you were first hipped to sliced bread?

RipHer2Shreds said:

that's funny , but i honestly really did not hear this song up to about 3 days ago

Awww..that's ok.

Have you heard anything from the rest of that album yet? Good stuff!

Nikster said:

not yet butim hoping too

Yeah, this is one of P's best songs that he gave to someone else. I remember when this came out, it was huge! Perfect first song for Sheila. Another one that I suggest is "A Love Bizzare". This also, is banging!

The best song on that is oliver's house!!!

whats up with all the songs being extra long on the albums though? its gets boring after a bit...same w/ The Time..

I used to really like that back in the day. I remember buying the Sheila E record in 1984 and opening it to see "The Glamorous Life: 8:58"! I thought damn, I really need to hear this. It must be epic!

Looking back I think Prince was just covering for the fact that his artists didn't have enough songs.

sextonseven said:

Exactly. That was DEFINATELY the case with The Time. But, like u sexton, I loved P's long ass songs! And I really loved the "long versions", like "Let's Work".

blackguitaristz said:

I feel the exact same way. I love the extended versions of Prince's songs (most of the time), but all those long ass versions of otherwise great Time songs are obvious album fillers. It's almost enough to ruin a good song.

Xavier23 said:

I recommend getting the album if you can also get her second album that's a good one also.

Xavier23 said:

I'm starting to feel really old. Where's my geritol?

artpal said:

You and me both. I bought that record over 20 years ago!

sextonseven said:

Age is just a number and a state of mind. That is all. Should embrace your age and to becoming more mature and experienced. You can handle what life throws u without flipping out and you're better suited to make your dreams a reality.

Shiela is soooo pretty and talented... I love that woman.

I'm partial to Noon Rendezvous and Next Time Wipe The Lipstick Off Your Collar.

Xavier23 said:

Unbelievable... U've barely heard this song?

paul0478 said:

yeah, i know it's sad isn't it

Yea but, just think, this person is listening to it for the FIRST time. How cool is that? Remember the first time you heard 1999, Sign O' The Times, Purple Rain, etc.

To have that experience now at my advanced age (33) would be v.v. cool.

I believe that great music is timeless, however the 1st time, wow!

The entire album is AWESOME,and its greatness still holds up today, all this time later. I remember the first time I heard it when it first came out - my friend had brought it with her to school and I listened to it on headphones during a study period. I was like .

Glad you are enjoying it !

Just listened to that whole cd again a few weeks ago. Glamorous Life is the gem, in that collection. Belle of St. Mark was also a fun single (sounds a little dated now though)

Universaluv said:

Indeed. Shelia old album is the jam but the 80's sound is dated.

Hey BG, I need to print this out and post it. I got a birthday rolling around soon.

blackguitaristz said:

I couldn't agree w/ you more BG Baby. Age is definitely a state of mind. With age comes wisdoms, maturity, and knoweledge of self. The complexities of life become more routine and you learn to deal with any outcome that life may throw at you that may be positive or negative in nature.
