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.

I was going to let this lie, and maybe I still should. However….

Yes, I was “unaware of this”. Please explain your first sentence, and who the people are that you are speaking for and who you claim despised her. Apart from yourself, obviously. And why, exactly.

I couldn't give less of a fuck about her. Maybe try a news source.

I think it stemmed from the time she ripped up a picture of the pope on Saturday night live offending lots of American catholics.

She wasn't wrong though, considering the amount of nonce priests in Ireland that were quietly shipped out to the US when they got found out.

And the Catholic Church still absolves itself of any blame

Of course they do.

It was God's will. Suffer little children to come under me.

I bought her first album when I was 12 or 13 after seeing her on TOTP, but she tended to fly under the chart radar for the most part.
