For those of you that don't know the song nothing compares to you which was sung by Sinéad O'Connor was actually a cover song which was originally made and sang by Prince. personally I prefer Sinead O'Connor's version of the song. I know Prince was a genius when he came to music and singing but I didn't like the way he sang it even though it was his. Anyway the website mental floss wrote an interesting article about prince and the long contentious history of Nothing Compares 2 U song.

The Long, Contentious History of Prince’s “Nothing Compares 2 U”
Prince may have written the haunting ballad in 1984, but it was Sinead O’Connor who turned it into a hit a half-dozen years later. That was just the beginning.
