Same here Robbo. Listening to Five Times The Sun - still have the original vinyl album. My favourite track Singing Your Song, loved the opening lyrics, guitar strumming, chord change..

Quite a shock. Recently watched a great doco on her. Lost her 17yo son to suicide in 2022.
What a voice.
RIP.

It was the mix of tones that made you gasp. And the strength when she wailed. Just really sad to think she went like this.

Yes I'm oddly affected by this one. One of those rare artists where there is nothing behind the veil...an iconoclast by very definition. Talent, and swagger, and vulnerability and heck you for days...It was the mix of tones that made you gasp. And the strength when she wailed. Just really sad to think she went like this.

First thing I ever heard was Mandinka.
Was like wtf?
What is she singing?
How did she do that ...whoa...
Couldn't wait to hear it again. I love it when new artists can do that to ya.
Didn't understand that title until I wat ched the doco.

I was watching this one this morning...I just love the juxtaposition of this enigmatic punk rock half siren half banshee backed by a handful of classic late 80s douche wads.
Never destined to live a long life. RIP.
I found this article regarding her most famous song. All the versions are sensational which means Prince wrote a standard for the ages.

Mikal Gilmore offers a portrait of Sinéad O’Connor, one of the great singers of our time, an iconoclast whose performances strike a raw nerve in he and in us. Sinead O'Connor die

This is one of my faves. Sublime voice and teller of truth
She did backing vocals as well with a number of artists who wrote and played world music.
My favorite is a song called 'Visions of You' by Jah Wobble's Invaders of the Heart from the album 'Rising Above Bedlam." Jah Wobble was the bass player for Public Image Limited, playing alongside John Lydon, before he went solo and formed his own band and style of world music.
The first time I heard the song on BBC Radio in London, it totally blew me away. Sinead O'Connor's vocals in this are sublime.
