phunkdaddy said: No one is not saying that RFTW wasn't a Minneapolis influenced band as they hail from Flint, Michigan but for the purpose of this thread yes Oh Sheila was a play on Cameo's style. This song has nothing to do with Prince. Such a hipster comment, trying to build up yourself as a purist and a true music lover. Don't overanalyze something that isn't there. Everyone and their mother knows that this is only a cash-in hit on the success of Prince, who was ruling the Pop realm in 1984-1985. | |

Who the hell are you to tell me I'm trying to build myself up as a purist?  What the fuck does that mean anyway? I actually am a true music lover being that it's had my ears since I was 6 so you can go stuff it. As for the topic at hand it's not that serious. We agree to disagree. My opinion that it sounds like Cameo's Style must be spot on because the OP made a thread about it and he wasn't the only one to agree. Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint | |

lol, the only place on the internet that finds a reason to start a new discussion about Oh Sheila at least once per month. | |

Melvin Riley went on Radioscope back in 85 and stated that although they were huge fans of Sheila E the song wasn't about her but with Sheila E being sexy and the object of every man's desire at that time I could see why people would think this song was about her. Don't laugh at my funk

Imo RFTW's Oh Sheila was more like a generic kinda Prince sound. Cameo was it's own thing. Cameo's sound had morphed by this time but to me at least earlier on their sound was more like a mix of Ohio Players and Earth Wind & Fire. | |
