I wasn't a fan of her specifically, but her song Nothing Compares 2 U ranks pretty close to the top of my favorite songs of all time list.

I remember it came out in 1990 while I was a young rookie cop in CLEET. It was one of the very things that motivated and drove me to finish, and it brings back a plethora of memories whenever I hear it even today.

Being a big advocate of suicide prevention (my mother killed herself) it saddens me that those demons, that haunt each and every one of us, eventually won their fight over her. So tragic.

PLEASE if anybody here is contemplating the act of suicide, I beg of you, find some help. Talk to someone. Your parents, your kids, siblings, best friend, myself, ANYBODY! Life is such a precious gift. Don't throw it away. Whatever issues or struggles you have going on, they will soon pass. Trust me...I've been there.

RIP ya wee irish lass. :cry3:

I recognized her name, but I don’t know anything about her or her music except what’s in the article. Sounds like a really tragic situation.
