    I’ve been aware of her since she was the background singer for World Party. And that ages me, I know.

    Also her first album was The Lion and the Cobra, NOT the one with Nothing Compares 2 U, as the media keeps reporting. And that first album is pretty much an under-appreciated masterpiece.

    She was so mistreated by the media and the world, man.

    Such a fucking shame :(

    RIP

      Indeed! Her love versions of “Troy” give me the chills. It’s a good song on record but her intensity of the live performances lifted it into legend territory.
