About Oh Sheila

"Oh Sheila" is a song by R&B boy band Ready for the World, it was released in May 1985 as the third single to their self-titled debut album. The song is commonly misattributed to Prince, due to the similarities to his vocal & musical style, heavy use of the detuned rimshot in courtesy of a Linndrum & the belief that the song's lyrics allude to frequent Prince collaborator Sheila E. The use of a faux British accent during parts of the song was the preference of Melvin Riley Jr. .
