Sinead O'Conner's "Nothing Compares 2 U" was actually written by Prince, but made famous by O'Conner.

Long before she rebelled against the Catholic Church, Sinead O'Conner took the music scene by storm with her shaved-head version of the Prince song, and her intense glare into the camera during the video captured my emotions!

The year was 1990, and I was serving in the military overseas, far away from "my girl". I really connected to the lyrics of the song, and have liked it since (though, my roommate Russ probably got tired of hearing it on repeat!).

 

Prince was an incredibly talented musician, singer, producer, composer and, from what I'm hearing in interviews, friend.  The world will miss his music.
