WATCH: Carlow native performs fantastic rendition of ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’

Colm Boohig

The song written by Prince and made world famous by Sinéad O’Connor.

Prince’s legacy will live far beyond the songs he just performed, as he wrote a series of legendary tunes that he passed onto other artists as well.

‘Nothing Compares 2 U’, which was played worldwide during one specific time, is one of the more famous examples, with Sinéad O’Connor’s version of the hit in 1990 going down as one of the greatest performances by an Irish artist ever.

JOE reader Dave O’Neill, a singer songwriter from Carlow, paid tribute to both artists in wonderful fashion with this excellent rendition of the classic tune.

Enjoy.
