Female, black mathematician who worked on the Apollo programme. Clearly good with the numbers.

I recently watched a film about them.

Sinead O'Conner. A troubled girl...

I went birdwatching with Sinead once.
We saw 7 Owls & 15 Jays...

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

Yeah

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.

She was her own worse enemy.

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.

Eh?

She went out of her way to ensure people despised her, were you unaware of this?
