Troubled just about covers it. A shame nevertheless.

I first heard of her back in the 80's when she sang Mandinka,I thought that she had a great voice,but quickly concluded that she was a mad bird.
She seems to have had lots of troubles over the years & whenever she made the news for something other than her singing it always seemed to be for something negative.
A troubled soul RIP

A troubled soul indeed. A product of the good ol' Catholic church's Brothers and Sisters establishments imho.

I'd guess that the death of her son last year played heavy on her troubled mind.

Walking along the beach front today, I decided to roll back the years and play 'that' song through my posh headphones.

Wish I hadn't. Didn't enjoy it. Wish I'd left the memory in the past :(

If you’re talking about Nothing Compares, I prefer Prince’s original. Some of her own songs were outstanding though.
