Oprah: Sheila played percussion and sang backup for Jennifer Lopez's
performance of "If You Had My Love", very similar to the appearance on The
Late Show with David Letterman. Sheila got lots of camera time.
Jennifer's vocals were mostly pre-recorded, but Sheila's voice could be
heard clearly (although her percussion wasn't miked properly).



Motown Live: Sheila only appeared during the final number, James Brown's
"Sex Machine", performed with Eric Benet, Cherokee and Foxy Brown. Sheila
sang vocals and only had a cymbal stand in front of her. Cherokee, a
female singer whom host Robert Townsend mentioned was influenced by The
Artist, did quite a few trademark James Brown/Prince moves like spinning
in place and jumping into leg splits. The closing credits for the
broadcast started during the song, and it only lasted about 3 minutes.



At the Los Angeles LaVaLee shows in March 99, Sheila had mentioned to a
friend in our group that the band had just taped Motown Live. The band
performed "When Doves Cry" and "Girls & Boys" at the taping. But there was
some kind of trouble in getting broadcast approval from The Artist and/or
Warner Bros for the Prince songs. Therefore, those songs would not be
aired.



Instead, to fill the hour, there were 4 songs from Eric Benet, and 2 each
from Cherokee and Foxy Brown. Benet's band included most of Sheila's
(Eddie M on sax, Renato Neto on keyboards, Tony B on bass, and John Paris
on drums). Kat Dyson played guitar during "Sex Machine".
