"The Glamorous Life" was originally intended to be recorded by the short-lived replacement act for Vanity 6, girl group Apollonia 6. Prince allegedly had several tracks lined up for the trio to record for their 1984 debut album (and by some accounts, their follow up album as well) but abandoned the idea when he learned that lead singer Apollonia Kotero had no desire to stay in the group beyond her contractual obligations as designed for her movie role in Purple Rain.

Prince decided to give the song to Sheila E. who was fresh off her duet on Prince's "Erotic City". "The Glamorous Life" would be recorded by Sheila and go on to launch her solo career.

    Love this song and (as a fellow drummer) greatly appreciate Sheila E's talent, but she never reached Prince's level of fame and production. Most people couldn't even name two other single's she has released.

    I used to think Sheila E was a bit of fluff with the drums, but recently saw a vid with her behind the kit. The lady was killing those drums.
