Chinahand Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) That's so sad. I've really strong memories of listening to the Lion and the Cobra with life long friends and watching her perform on a tiny black and white tv in my bedroom! Another really strong memory is a student night at Coventry Uni Students Union. It was after her mega success with Nothing Compares to U, but she joined a touring punk band as a simple backing singer. The students drove the band ... and especially the lead guitarist ... mad by continually chanting 'nothing compares, nothing compares to you' at the band. He literally went mental - but then again it really made him play! Here's one of my favourite later career songs from her. All Apologies. She had a tragic life, but leaves a great musical legacy.

Both times I was shocked how good she is. She is humble, vulnerable, generous, a beautiful singer, has strong songs, she's humane, funny, witty and passionate. Of course that was followed by ...

code99 Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 We were privileged to see her in concert at the Villa. It is horrible to think that she will never again light-up a concert stage, how very very sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
