The Saxxy 80s: 'A Love Bizarre' by Sheila E. (1985)

The Saxxy 80s welcomes you back, and today we are featuring Sheila E.'s legendary 1985 track (which was done as a duet along with Prince), A Love Bizarre. Sheila E. (Sheila Escovedo) is an American singer/drummer/percussionist/actress out of Oakland, California USA, who would join up forces with another 80's legend by the name of Prince and even manage to have a successful solo-career as well. A Love Bizarre is a track written and performed by Prince and Sheila E. which was released on Sheila E.'s 1985 Romance 1600 album. The song was Sheila E's second major hit which would reach #1 in Urban Radio Airplay & Dance/Club Play charts, #2 on the U.S. R&B charts, and #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Pop Radio Airplay charts. The 12-inch version of the song runs over 12 minutes, and that is the version I am featuring here although the video below is the short 3 minute version, so check it out!
