Really sad to hear this just now. Always liked her stuff, from the first time I heard Mandinka on a car stereo in 1988. A true original; not only musically.

Amazing voice - the lion and the cobra, I do not want what I haven't got and Universal Mother are incredible, albeit very downbeat, records.  I haven't listened to them for years because they're so emotionally raw.

As is always the case when something like this happens, I'll pull them out now..

Amazing person, unique voice and seemed to be passionate in all she did, reflected in her music.


Just listening to Last Day of our Acquaintance - amazing!

When my wife told me I had an even bigger shock. I used to have a colleague called Sinead O'Connor and I bumped into her at lunch time and had a chat. My initial thought was that it was was her.
