From Dr. Funkenberry:

Prince Likes To Do That Conga

Posted in Celebrity Gossip, Celebrity News, Entertainment, Music on December 30th, 2008 by drfunkenberry

777 Chick Hearn Court has been a popular hang out spot for Prince lately. What? Did you think we were gonna talk about the Miami Sound Machine?

2 Friday’s ago, Prince made an appearance at the Conga Room where he checked out Mike Phillips & Brian Culbertson perform after midnight. There were rumors that the funk man was going to perform with the band, but something didn’t smell right, don’t know if it was my buddies cologne or what, but we knew it wouldn’t happen and it didn’t but while Prince was in the VIP section, Mr. Hayes from his band “The NPG” did get up on stage and solo.

Then the purple one was seen rooting for KG & the Gang Green of the Boston Celtics against The Dr’s Lakers. We may have bounced Kevin Garnett like it was the Wolves in the first….round of the playoffs that is, but something tells me Prince might be celebrating another championship by the former Minnesota player round June.

Last Friday night, Prince returned to the Conga Room to check out the mixings of DJ Rashida & Viktor Duplaix. The crowd was in for a surprise as his longtime friend Sheila E. guested on stage, belting out “The Glamourous Life” and several other songs in the mix. The place was packed and jumping, you woulda thought it was 1984 instead of 25 years later. Truth be told, music n funk that good just doesn’t age, it keeps it’s freshness long after other songs rise and fall off the charts n out of our hearts. Even Earth Wind & Fire’s Philip Bailey got on the stix at one point.

Prince was also seen briefly at Bardot as well over the weekend in Hollywood with Bria Valente who dropped a song on us during that time.

With all that is going on, it sure looks like 2009 is gonna be mighty fine!-Dr.FB

I'm glad you said it.

It's nice that he's having fun. I just wish he were doing something that...ya know...the "common folk" could partake of.

It's been a really long time...

I wish he would have listed the rest of the songs in the set.

Sheila's one of the owners of the Conga Room, so hopefully it will remain a good place to see her play live regularly.

Then why did you post it?

I'm sure there'll be something for us in 2009. We have to be patient.

Sounds like a lot of fun.

There's a new update on the story, and they got video footage of Sheila E performing at the Conga Room!

So he's going out like he should and having fun living his life. He' suppose to plus he's SINGLE.

Just because, I guess. It is cool 2 know what he's doing, but I would really prefer 2 hear more "important" Prince news... musically related.

...and NOT just some teasing about a song that evokes "Controversy" that we still haven't heard.

Excellent Footage. I love watching Shelia E especially when she sings PRINCE TUNES. Her Latin Familia was really Great also.

Well something is better than nothing. You know what it's like around here when it's deader than a door knob in here. When it comes to Prince news, I take what I can get, no matter how small. For all we know, it might lead to something big in the future, so I never dismiss "small" stories.

Prince newz!

darn it, mad I missed that, can someone please get Sheila on a NYC stage please!!!! LA always gets the good !@#$!
