Summary:  From the Grammy Award–nominated singer, drummer, and percussionist, a memoir about the healing power of music inspired by five decades of life and love on the stage. Sheila E., born Sheila Escovedo in 1957, picked up the drumsticks and started making music at the precocious age of three, inspired by her legendary father, percussionist Pete Escovedo. By nineteen, she had fallen in love with Carlos Santana. By twenty-one, she met Prince. Both a walk through four decades of Latin and pop music -- from her tours with Marvin Gaye, Lionel Richie, Prince, and Ringo Starr -- to her own solo career. At the same time, it's a heartbreaking, ultimately redemptive look at how the sanctity of music can save a person's life. Having endured sexual abuse as a child, Sheila credits her parents, music, and God with giving her the will to carry on. Rich in musical detail, pop and Latin music history from the '70s and '80s, this memoir is a unique glimpse into a drummer’s singular life and a testament to how the positive power of music serves as the heartbeat of her life.
