Given the events of this week this song’s title* could be the most appropriate for the sentiments we have witnessed being expressed.
O’Connor most well-known hit by far. (Even if it was written by Prince/TAFKAP/Symbol.)
Just to be different, this is a live version.
Sinéad O’Connor: Nothing Compares 2 U
*I do of course deplore the text-speak in that title.

Another total shock. Another untimely death. Prince was even younger than Victoria Wood.
There was a lot going on in my life around the time he started to make his way in the music business so it wasn’t till the single Purple Rain that I really became conscious of his work.
There were rumours he was very prolific; Wikipedia lists no less than 39 studio albums 17 more of various stamp. There are also rumoured to be hundreds of unreleased tracks hidden away in Paisley Park.
Prince was very protective of his intellectual property so there’s no video in this post.
Hum Raspberry Beret to yourselves.
Prince Rogers Nelson: 7/6/1958 – 21/4/2016. So it goes.
