Mike and I were discussing the immediate heirs to Prince's legacy - there weren't very many who tried to actually do something with that sound. Then I remembered this 1985 song from Flint, MI boys Ready For The World, which completely cops the beat from the Prince-penned "Glamorous Life", which was a hit the year before for Sheila E.
RFTW went to #1, but Sheila E. & His Royal Badness only got as high as #7...
RFTW - "Oh Sheila"
Sheila E. - "The Glamorous Life"
