Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

A black-and-white photograph of Sheila Escovedo, known as Sheila E., performing. The image is a close up of Sheila E., with part of her head and torso out of frame. She wears a floral printed, one-sleeved garment, a necklace with small pendant, and large, diamond-shaped earrings. She holds up a microphone with her proper left hand, which is partially visible along the right side of the image. Her mouth is open mid-song. Parts of the image are slightly out of focus, as if she is moving. On the verso is an adhesive label with the Eyejammie.com logo and [Title: Sheila E. in Concert / Photographer: Harry Allen] printed in black text.
