      Interesting to note, the entire arrangement was orchestrated by Sinead, along with her band. Prince was enraged at her treatment of the song, probably because she did such an excellent job.
      Also interesting to note, she dedicated and devoted this song to her mother. Not about a boy or boyfriend. That's where the tears came from.

      There's a story behind that famous tear. Apparently Sinead's mother had passed away not too long before this video was filmed, and the line "All the flowers that you planted in the back yard / all died when you went away" totally set her off because that's exactly what happened in her own mother's back yard shortly before - you even hear her adding the word "mama" into the line, where it wasn't intentionally written there. Sinead says she had a very troubled relationship with her mother and that this line hit her hardest of all. It really shows here

    Prince never recorded this song on any of his albums!! Sinead was given this song and it rocketed her to fame! Afterwards Prince would sing it at concerts mostly due to it being loved thanks to SINEAD... Btw Sinead had a crazy abusive childhood by her mother and became a punk rock singer after her mother died in a car crash when she was 18... She channelled her emotions from her child abuse into her music becoming a huge punk rock singer! Check out her song TROY live in London 1988... It's recorded live yet the RUclips video plays her live recording over the official video imaging... You will hear the power of her voice and her emotions capitaved the crowds she played for!

      Medicina, you're wrong Prince recorded this as a demo. After 'The Revolution' fell apart and the former members were in several projects like 'Wendy and Lisa' and 'The Family' he helped 'The Family' and one of the songs he gave them was this one. If you don't believe you can search for that version at youtube. He didn't gave that to Sinead, for a matter of fact he was about to put this on single, and right before that Sinead did it, and that was the reason why he was mad at Sinead. And well it is recorded and you can find it at 'The Hits and B-sides', a compilation album with a few newer songs like 'peach'.

      And I do believe you cuz she got rights to record it from The Family and Prince did try to intervene on Sinead recording it, before* she recorded it, and she has a story he was hitting her in the face (with a pillow) and arguing with her to not record it. Apparently he didn't like her foul mouth and strong aggressive style... She made the song a huge success though as we all know... Afterwards Price did record it for release (Hits & B Sides) and also performed it live which you can see on RUclips..

    In 1985, the funk band The Family released their only album, The Family. It contained songs written by Prince with "Nothing Compares 2 U" being one of those songs. The song appeared more-or-less as filler music on their album and was not released as a single and received little recognition. Prince had earlier recorded the song in 1984, which went unreleased until 2018 as a posthumous single released digitally in April of that year. Sinead O'Connor recorded the song for her second album I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got, released in 1990, where she and producer Nellee Hooper gave it a completely new arrangement. The song became an international hit for O'Connor. Prince took no interest in performing it in concerts; however, in the years after O'Connor turned it into a hit in 1990, he began performing the song live. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nothing_Compares_2_U

  • @thesolitaryadventurer
    @thesolitaryadventurer 3 года назад +22

    For the record, Sinead's version is the definitive version. Period.
    The history of the track though is years before her version. Prince wrote it for one of his side-projects in 1984. "The Family" recorded it in 1985 and it was on their album of that name and that year. Prince's manager at that time became Sinead's manager a few years later and that's how the song came to her attention. It wasn't offered by Prince nor by The Family. Prince seemingly wasn't super happy with her covering a song of his - as he refused permission for all covers of his songs if the artists were to ask him.
    Once it became a worldwide smash hit, Prince began to introduce it to his live sets, where it stayed for the next 25 years - being played at most gigs and even in his final piano-only gig. He released a live version as part of a hits compilation in 1993 that became HIS definitive version - a duet with the great Rosie Gaines.
    I hear the songs as two different beasts as the arrangements between Sinead's and his live versions are so different.
    However, the final twist is that his original demo was released after his death. And there is a closer arrangement to the Sinead version on there. I think his demo with saxophone by the masterful Eric Leeds is - to my ear - a more poignant version than Sinead's.
