Nothing Compares To You

A white hybrid tea-rose from my garden.

This is a rose for Sinead O'Connor.

 

A legendary singer from Ireland who took on the world with her bold and incisive lyrics, and defied significant mental health issues to reach No. 1 in the world with her 1990 cover of the Prince song:

'Nothing Compares To You'.

 

Dead at only 56.

Goodness me. That's so young.

 

Here's her amazing, but little known, cover of Bobbie Gentry's 'Ode To Billy Joe'. Note the haunting Irish music that, along with Sinead's unique vocals, really distinguishes this version of the song.
