Sheila is an original 1980 Bride of Funkenstein who rejoined the P-Funk All-Star lineup last year in '95 (Editor's note: Sheila has since left the group to pursue solo projects).
She is a terribly charming lady who, as one of the few females left in the current Mob, must fight for respect and an occasional solo showcase.
And you were on the 2nd Brides of Funkenstein LP.

The Brides were still Lynn Mabry and Dawn Silva at this time, although they added some backup singers known as the 'Bridesmaids' to help recreate the layered vocal effect found on their albums.
Otherwise, it's a fairly straightforward performance of a truly strange song, with the Brides asking 'May we board you?' "Birdie" is truly hot, with Blackbyrd absolutely sizzling on guitar and the Brides getting down and dirty vocally.
The 'Brides Maids' were three female backup singers, added to the live set to help recreate the original vocal textures of the album.

 Tuwa's Shanty: Brides of Funkenstein
Brides of Funkenstein was one of many George Clinton/P-Funk offshoots, featuring Lynn Mabry and Bernie Worrell (who you might also have seen on Stop Making Sense), as well as other bits of the Clinton crew, including Phelps Collins, Gary Shider, Michael Hampton, and Bootsy Collins.
The Funk or Walk LP is good for the most part, with a few standouts and one stinker ("Just Like You," a nine minute soul track that's so soft it makes Pee Wee Herman look like a contender).
"Disco to Go," the album's opener, was a hit for the Brides, but it was the only one they had.

These three ladies oozed funk while their counterparts, The Brides of Funkenstein, were more conservative.
Parlet was a dammed funky group of ladies, they just somehow got lost in the shuffle of the growing P-Funk Universe and were often the victims of lack of promotion.

 Deep Groove Encyclopedia - Gap Band
The trio of brothers from Tulsa, Oklahoma -- Charlie, Robert and Ronnie -- tore up the charts with some of the hardest funk of the 80s, but the influence of the P was as clear as crystal glass.
For example, the breakthrough hit "Oops Upside Your Head" steals an entire section from the Brides of Funkenstein's "Disco to Go" at a key interval of the song.
The throbbing, clap-happy backing tracks were Parliament run through a sonic strainer, delivering a comparable level of funk power without the overload George Clinton would inject into the mix.

The group is similar to the Brides of Funkenstein in that respect, but perhaps a bit less conservative.

Their sets are wilder than the Brides' performances would later be.
During the "Motor Booty Affair" tour, three vocalists are utilized to give singing support to both the Brides and P-Funk during their sets.
Babs leaves the Bridesmaids around the same time Lynn leaves the Brides, so both groups join together and the Brides of Funkenstein become a trio.
