Sinead O’Connor, who had a number 1 hit with "Nothing Compares 2 U," was not shy about speaking her mind, even when it got her in trouble. Her tribute is one of 44 short yet illuminating episodes about significant figures in the music industry who passed away in 2023.
To hear "Nothing Compares 2 U," you can go to this video, and you may want to check out the comments too. There are some great ones, including this comment: "Beautiful voice, beautiful woman."
The picture in this episode's chapters was a publicity photo circa 1987, photographer unknown. It was distributed by Chrysalis Records and is available on wikimedia.org.
Also in the chapters, you can go right to the tribute by skipping my intro; feel free to skip my closing remarks too. Both are there to provide context for those who haven't listened to the other tributes.
My guest Sheldon Zoldan, a longtime writer and newspaper editor, wrote these tributes and recorded them. He also writes Song of the Day, a music-related story sent daily to an email list of subscribers. To get on his subscriber list, email shzoldan@comcast.net with the subject line ADD ME TO SOTD.
Audio engineer/musician Mike Villegas edited all the audio for this series. Hope you enjoy these intriguing glimpses into the lives of the people who made some of the music we love.
