Cracking track.

Fair point. As a pedant myself, I can appreciate your point.

I think original version was by The Family in 1885.

RIP. A very complex character but I watched the documentary on her and she came across as a good pesron who has had a troubled life. Excellent and unique artist

I'd say that, basically, she was a good person. Did she have flaws? Of course; who doesn't? Tact and diplomacy were strangers to her, she called things as she saw them. Which a lot of people don't like. Hopefully, she'll find some peace now, at the end of a troubled life.

Possibly one of the most powerful vocal performances of that generation. And the ultimate example of a cover version being better than the original.

One of the greatest songs of all time...

 

[One Fan Clapping]

Shocked. Sad.

If you want to listen to her lesser known sad tracks;

The last day of our acquaintance.

You cause as much sorrow

I like melancholy stuff and she hits the spot.

RIP

Prince recorded it but gave it away

I think Prince wrote it for a Side project “the Family‘ who released it on their album in 1985. Sinead’s version was recorded in 1990 - so it was a cover version but not by Prince.

He recorded it then gave it away
