that was nice reading through that

I know these 2 periods might be weird

but how about 1985 * David Coleman Suzi Katayama Novi Novog & Eddie M (videos)

1989 * Candy Dulfar Michael Bland Patrice Rushen Margie Cox

just to show a little something transitional happening even if they were 1 off shows?

thanks!

that's right. There were more band members that never were a part of a full blown tour. Eddy M was part of Sheila's band, but performed saxophone on Baby I'm a star and America in '85.

Both Eric Leeds and Sheila E did more guest performances on several shows.

Now there is this mysterious keyboard player in Graffiti Bridge, named Phillip C. Not part of the Nude Tour, never present at tv shows... Found an older thread about the man, who made the announcement on the Partyman video too:

Wow this list is great. You should add it to Wikipedia as the entry they have is severely lacking.
