This is really great. I would just add what I put in above in Green

boriquateddy said:

Good list and that would be a perfect the best of Sheila E. My favorite songs by her is Hold Me, Sex Cymbal, Girl Power, and Sister Fate.

DavidEye said:

why not ask for LOVE AND SEX as the bonus track?

madhouseman said:

where is this from? I remember it was listed as a track for the 3rd album but it dissapeared.

NorthernLad said:

I would definatly by this album but I would throw in a live track at the end of this album featuring some of her drum and precussion skills.

madhouseman said:

i don't think i've ever heard of that.

PurpleJedi said:

I didn't know there were Sheila E versions of these tracks floating around.

I'd add "It's Gonna Be A Beautiful Night," simply because I adore the Transmississippi rap.

SHeila does the backging VOX on Scralett Pussy.

What is Latino Barbie Doll??

GaryMF said:

That's an unreleased Mayte track.

sextonseven said:

I remember reading that Sheila also recored this as well....

boriquateddy said:

I downloaded a version of Latino Barbie Doll that was CREDITED as "Mayte" but is clearly Sheila.

What is "Love or SEx"?
I remember it being on tracklisting for 3rd album but it never came to be.

Is it like Girl Power? An unreleased track?

GaryMF said:

I don't know if a song where Sheila sings background should be included on her best-of, but that's just me. I mean, she has so many tracks, why include a song that hardly features her?

sextonseven said:

Hey , it wasn't me who suggested, I was just 'splaining.

But couldn't the same be said for Erotic City? I don't remember if the sleeve says "Backing vocals" or "co-lead vocal" Sheila E.

And speaking of which, wasn't that the first official credit to "Sheila E"?

sextonseven said:

BECAUSE she's prominently featured in it.
...so THERE.

GaryMF said:

Yes, I wouldn't put "Erotic City" on any Sheila E best-of either. "The Glamorous Life" single was released before "Let's Go Crazy" I think.

i can't believe that nobody said
the world is high
or
save the people

tripp said:

I'd put Save the People and Too Sexy over the World is High

A Sheila E. compilation would NOT be complete without including River God from the 2001 album - that's my favorite song from that album, and one of my favorites of all time. I was going through some very strong growing pains when that song came out, and whenever I would play it (sometimes I would have to play it over and over), I would calm down and go into a peaceful state. It really is the most beautiful expression of what God is that I have ever heard.
