It was later made famous by Irish recording artist Sinéad O'Connor, whose arrangement was released as the second single from her second studio album, ''I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got''. This version, which O'Connor co-produced with Nellee Hooper, became a worldwide hit in 1990. A music video, which has been described as iconic, was shot and received heavy rotation on MTV. Its lyrics explore feelings of longing from an abandoned lover's point of view. ==Background== In 1985, The Family, a funk band created as an outlet to release more of Prince's music, released their first and only album, the self-titled ''The Family.'' "Nothing Compares 2 U" appeared on the album but it was not released as a single, and received little recognition. O'Connor's rendition reflected on her mother's death in 1985. Prince performed the song as a live duet with Rosie Gaines, subsequently released on his 1993 compilations ''The Hits/The B-Sides'' and ''The Hits 1.'' Prince also recorded a solo version of the song for his concert film, ''Rave Un2 the Year 2000,'' as well as for his 2002 live album, ''One Nite Alone... Live!'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nothing Compares 2 U」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
