Another great, deep & narrative writing from Tim; thank you! I worked on a few radio, promotional & charitable events revolving Walsh between 1985-1988. Indeed, both her & Cliff Richard were two "Greats" that came from that "Other Side of The Atlantic"!!! Just a couple years back, 2018 or 2019, before I retired from the radio broadcast field, I had my final opportunity to work again with Walsh at a Retreat "Radio Call-In" Counseling Program; she STILL had great advice & observations she shared with both the small invited studio audience & the call-ins. Again, much thanks Tim on your VERY extensive writing on the beautiful spirit of Shelia Walsh. Finally, in other news, do keep me informed on your book that you mentioned that will be published soon. You clued me in, that it will feature a bit more writings on Teri DeSario; her recalling her last, final swan song "Christian Pop" recording; the lead vocal she delivered on the track "LIFELINE" along with The Maranatha! Singers, directed by Walt Harrah, during the 1989/1990 charting season. That AMAZING cut quickly rose to the #1 position, at the radio station I was with at that time. (...well, me being Music & Operations Director there, I was able to give that wonderful song a bit of an "extra push" up the local playlist!)
In reality, most of my classmates did not abide by these stipulations. Because of that, I learned about artists like Madonna and Duran Duran from my worldly classmates that I was secretly jealous of. I was, as a preacher\u2019s kid, forbidden from listening to this music (although my mother did, thankfully, sneak us off to movies). My only context for the music my classmates raved about came to me in flickers when I would covertly glide by MTV and VH-1 while clicking our remote control to one of the three Christian television stations that played non-stop in our home. I loved the fashions of the eighties: spandex pants with oversized duster jackets, Converse sneakers, jelly bracelets and spiked hair and I wished we were allowed to be a part of those trends at school. But we were not.
Around that time, I saw a British CCM artist named Sheila Walsh on one of the Christian music video programs I watched. She\u2019d made a video for a song called \u201CMystery\u201D that seemed a little closer to what my friends were watching than, say, Silverwind\u2019s \u201CA Song In The Night\u201D or Tami Gunden\u2019s \u201CThen He Comes.\u201D I knew getting Sheila\u2019s music in my house would be a challenge. She didn\u2019t say \u201CJesus\u201D in the song and that probably wouldn\u2019t fly, but I started asking for her album War Of Love (which \u201CMystery\u201D came from) anyways, despite her leather jacket. They finally relented and I realized quickly that certain songs had to be played lower than others\u2013electric guitars and synthesizers also set off my grandparents alarms\u2013but Sheila became a favorite of mine.
War of Love was a state of the art pop album, co-produced by British pop icon Cliff Richard and Craig Pruess, filled with well-crafted pop tunes like \u201CMystery\u201D and \u201CSunset Skies,\u201D and theatrical new-wave influenced tracks like \u201CSleepwalking\u2019\u201D and \u201CPrivate Life,\u201D that gave Sheila\u2019s operatic soprano (compared to Julie Andrews far too many times) some crunch. Graham Kendrick\u2019s songwriting (of later \u201CShine Jesus Shine\u201D fame) brilliantly made spiritual matters palatable without regurgitating clich\u00E9s or Christian lingo that would make the album incomprehensible to the unchurched audience Walsh was clearly aiming for. Some of the stories on the album took place in England, others were about particular kinds of people, places and experiences and I loved traveling where the songs went. We were a deeply fundamentalist home and we lived by The Word\u2013we didn\u2019t talk about our feelings. Sheila\u2019s songs did and that drew me in.
I learned years later that the album was released in England as Drifting, the title drawn from a love song she\u2019d recorded with Cliff Richard that they\u2019d hoped would introduce Sheila to the pop market, three years before Amy Grant would record a similar kind of song with Peter Cetera, \u201CThe Next Time I Fall.\u201D Sparrow Records replaced \u201CDrifting\u201D on the American release of the album by a Christian radio-ready Christmas song, \u201CStar Song.\u201D That the American CCM market was shielded from \u201CDrifting\u201D makes clear just how forward thinking Walsh and her management were. She told Billboard\u2019s Bob Darden in 1984, \u201CIn some ways, I think the English have a healthier attitude about Christian performers. In the U.S., if you become a Christian, you have to leave your secular career altogether. I think that is narrow minded. If I was a Christian butcher, does that mean I could only kill Christian cows?\u201D
"Oh Sheila" is a song by American R&B band Ready for the World. Released as a single in 1985, it reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, the Billboard Hot Black Singles chart, and the Billboard Hot Dance/Disco Club Play chart. It was the first of two chart toppers for the band on the Billboard R&B chart, preceding their 1986 number-one R&B hit, "Love You Down".
The song is commonly misattributed to Prince, due to similarity to his vocal and musical style, heavy use of the detuned rimshot sound of a drum machine, and the belief that the song's lyrics allude to frequent Prince collaborator Sheila E.[3][4]
In 1999, Dutch dance duo Angel City covered the song, featuring vocals by British singer Lara McAllen. The song was first released in 1999 and again in 2003. It is the lead single from the band's 2005 debut album, Love Me Right. Angel City's version retains the verses from the original song but changes the chorus.
"A Love Bizarre" is a song written by Prince and Sheila E. The song is a duet between both singers and it appears on Sheila E.'s 1985 album Romance 1600. It clocks in at 12:16, but the single version is 3:46 in duration. It made its debut in the music movie Krush Groove.
The song was a major hit and reached number one on the Urban radio airplay and Dance/Club play charts.[2] On other American charts, "A Love Bizarre" went to number 2 on the US R&B charts and number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and pop radio airplay charts.[3] The German 12" single release is backed by the B-side "Save the People" which also served as the B-side for her previous single "Sister Fate". She performed the song as part of Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band during their 2001, 2003 and 2006 tours.
The club scene from Krush Groove in which Sheila E. and her band are performing the song was used for the majority of the music video with a few scenes from the film edited in. The music video uses the song's single edit.
This song is before my time but it literally sounds different to me. My parents always thought Prince sang the song and never heard of Ready For the World. What I find bizarre is that Prince was never asked about how he felt about the song or the band. You'd think there would be at least an article written or interview of Prince talking about the song. The song could very well be about Sheila E and she never once talked about the song either. You'd think there would be some acknowledgement.
Yes the singer's voice sounds similar to Prince but I can still hear how Prince sang this song even though he never did in this reality. Also how can so many people have always believed this was a Prince song for decades? I wasn't around in the 80s but you'd think the radio would announce before or after the song was played on the radio who it was sung by. Was no one ever paying attention?
I've been experiencing Mandela Effects for the past five years and I'm surprised that no one ever talks about this one, especially since this is a major one for me. Elvis originally sang Crazy Little Thing Called Love and Queen covered this song years later after his death. When I was younger, I vividly remember having both of these songs on my iPod and as much as I love Freddie, I always preferred Elvis' version.
I know that these are Elvis impersonators singing this song now but I wonder when these videos were originally posted years ago if that was always the case. Why would an Elvis impersonator sing a Queen song even if it's in the style of Elvis as tribute to him, it was never his original song. And no, when I was younger I never listened to an Elvis impersonator's version of this song and I'm not getting it confused with Michael Buble's version either. I feel it in my bones, I know that Elvis sang this damn song first.
MY POINT IS THIS. I'm starting to think in these two particular cases, anyone who remembers Prince and Elvis Presley originally singing these songs are not misremembering or confused. In our original reality, these two were the original singers of Oh Sheila and Crazy Little Thing Called Love. However, the explanation in this reality is that both songs are paying tribute to Prince and Elvis instead. If that was the case how come I can remember how Prince and Elvis sounded singing these songs and I'm not just making it up in my head?
In 1986, Love On A Blue Train was used with a one-minute video in which Sheila sings with her band in a TV-advertisement for the HiFI Maclord VCR model manufactured by National in Japan (one another commercial for this brand was also made using the song Hold Me from the same album).
This isn't the first time Sheila has incorporated songs from some of her favorite artist into the newscast. She did it last month when Big Time Rush was in town for a concert. She has also done it twice with Taylor Swift, most recently dropping Easter eggs after the singer released her "Red" album.
We were together for 10 happy years. We literally never argued. I know her love language is acts of service and I made sure to demonstrate that to her and she would often brag on me on social media showing that I left a flower and note on her steering wheel or how I would always meet her in the driveway to carry our special needs teenager into the house for her.
