If you can't get enough of Prince/Sheila E. jams then I strongly recommend 'Girls & Boys/Holly Rock' from 7Th Street Entry, Minneapolis, October '86.
It's a slap-bass masterclass. . "You don't frighten us, English pig dogs. Go and boil your bottoms, sons of a silly person." | |

I love the way Sheila just loses her mind near the end of this song...
"Good Gawd!! I can't go to the club without my jewels...Lawd,I'm trying to tell you!!...bring me the black one...THE BLACK ONE!!!...man,come on,GOOD GAWD!!" I think she's serious about this | |

"Toy Box" really should have been the first single from Sheila's 'Romance 1600' album.It's a sexy,funky,exciting song that would have been a smash. | |

I always loved this song, especially the live version on the Romance 1600 video.
That was a cool observation that her persona is a female "Morris Day", although apparently Morris' gigolo persona is really a character Prince used to do also. I doubtthe public would have "gotten" that whole thing at the end though. I also think it is totally NOT Sheila's real personality but it was like a funny joke for us fans. |

It's an outtake and it's an unfinished instrumental version. . "You don't frighten us, English pig dogs. Go and boil your bottoms, sons of a silly person." | |
