![]() Prince’s lyric might’ve come off mocking delivered by someone else, but with Sheila it’s just there, a vessel for her to fill with a star’s worth of potential energy-much of it via percussion solo, deployed live like a sudden tornado.

Actual version of history: Prince had-still has-an uncanny knack for spotting (and frequently dating, but still) talented female artists, and giving them world-class platforms. One version of history: Prince’s genius is such that it trickles down to everyone he works with, elevating the ordinary and the non-notable of the world.
