I still remember the first time I saw her, which was in the video for World Party's "Private Revolution" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLgt934yXUY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLgt934yXUY When her debut record came out, "Mandinka" was a staple on college radio, but that album barely got into the radio overall. I never really liked "Nothing Compares 2 U" but really loved quite a lot of that sophomore record otherwise. Besides her debut, her album "Faith and Courage" is still a major highlight. She was a tortured soul that could transcend herself through amazing talent, but she suffered throughout her life; this was compounded by being a public figure with very little fear and no compunction of speaking her mind. She is finally at peace, however sad it may be to hear.
