Whether you were a Prince fan or watched “Krush Groove” a million times, Sheila E. is a part of your glamorous life.

The Oakland-born drummer first burst on the scene after a fateful relationship with Prince turned into a solo-music career with hits like “The Glamorous Life” and “A Love Bizzare” as well as singing on the seminal “Purple Rain” album.

Since Prince’s death, Sheila E. has been one of the most visible bandmates to pay homage, but today it’s all about paying respect to her — the funky drummer who does it with class and style.

WATCH: How Sheila E. actually met the man who would change her career forever.
