"Nothing Compares 2 U" - Prince
James E. Green - Alto Saxophone
"Nothing Compares 2 U" is a song written and composed by Prince for one of his side projects, The Family. It was later made famous by Irish recording artist Sinéad O'Connor, whose arrangement was released as the second single from her second studio album, I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got
In 1985, The Family, a funk band created as an outlet to release more of Prince's music, released their first and only album, the self-titled The Family. "Nothing Compares 2 U" appeared on the album but it was not released as a single, and received little recognition.
O'Connor's rendition reflected on her mother's death in 1985.
Prince performed the song as a live duet with Rosie Gaines, subsequently released on his 1993 compilations The Hits/The B-Sides and The Hits 1. Prince also recorded a solo version of the song for his concert film, Rave Un2 the Year 2000, as well as for his 2002 live album, One Nite Alone... Live!

Hey James, this is really great and I have something to ask. My friend lost her husband recently and wants to play this at his funeral. Would you grant you permission for this please?
Hello Denise! I'm so sorry to here of your friend's loss. Sure ... please feel free to use this. I wish you all the best.
Thank you so much.
Could you offer the notation at all? I'm learning saxophone also and this is one of my mums favourite songs. Thanks
saxophone its timbre is the one that most resembles the human voice
Where can I get the sheet music to this song and accompaniment music? I want to pay proper royalties. :)
I transcribed the melody while listening to both Prince and Sinead O'connor. If I recall, the backing track I purchased from iTunes??search: Nothing Compares 2 U (Originally Performed by Sinéad O'connor) [Piano Instrumental Backing Version]. I hope this helps
It does, Thank you !
