Prince backing vocal on Glamorous Life? I was just listening to this song on my headphones and I swear I can hear a male voice in the far background singing along. Has anyone else noticed this?
Could this be a "guiding track" Prince recorded for Sheila to sing along to? I heard he does this but didn't think it would be in the final mix. Or is he actually singing background to add some bass to the vocals? | |

It's hard to hear...they match perfectly. Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind. | |

I think it's hard to hear him, but once you know he's there, that's when he stands out. I didn't know it until Kasey Kasem told me....

But it's really easier to hear when you have headphones on (I used to listen to it on a walkman all the time back then!) I remember Pops Escovedo saying in an interview that if you listen to it you can hear him on there. I don't remember hearing him on other Sheila songs other than ones he's credited on (ie Love Bizarre, Yellow etc) | |

I can hear Prince's vocal all over this song.Listen to the part where Sheila sings "True love is real scary",you can clearly hear Prince singing along with her. | |

If you caught the NAACP awards earlier this year.... Sheila E sung The Glamorous Life. She was a bit off, but Prince was openly singing backup and it was clear that he was helping her get back on track. It sounded like the same blend as in the album.
Not that I'm faulting Sheila.. she's not really a singer and she was banging the hell out of the drums at the same time. Come here, babe.. yeah... | |

Unfortunately, my DVR box crashed and my recording of that is gone now, but I watched it like 3 times and I dont' remember her being "off". Sheila is not a singer like Patti, but she can definitely sing and has had her moments (Forever In My Life in SOTT movie). I thought it was cool that Prince was openly singing his part which he did on the record. I thought she stole show on that performance..... the same thing happened at Musicology NYC last night. | |
