Join GFM’s DJ Polished Solid, Love Man and Jehan from The Music Snobs as they embark on a lively discussion, analysis, and celebration of Sheila E.’s 1987 eponymous release celebrating 30 years today!
Some of the questions we debate are:
Has Sheila E, the album, held up over the years?
Should Prince, Sheila, and D’Angelo have adopted James Brown’s “Good God” in their live performances?
Do we need Cat (& Sheila & TC Ellis & Tony M) to rap?
Should we do a TC Ellis True Confessions episode?
Are Prince & Sheila E dissing Jerome & Mazarati on Love is a Blue Train?
Does “Wednesday Like A River” sound like a country song or a Wendy & Lisa song?

First time I learned about your podcast, excited that Sheila E’s excellent third album is being reviewed. Shame that you guys go all over the place and forget to review the actual album for the most part.
