The Glamorous Life - Sheila E

A unique and amazingly talented performer. This live performance is scintillating. Beyond that, for me there is a mystique around this 1984 song and others of its time because I wasn't listening to top 40 at the time yet there were some really really great pop songs emerging. There's an abstractness about this particular song that I've always found appealing. It's almost like the song was wasted on most of the ears it hit. Ephemerality is a key character of most pop. They didn't know what they had there.
