Love Muffin Request: Prince’s “Nothing Compares 2 U”

August 28, 2007



Yesterday I featured the Flashback Video: Sinéad O’Connor’s “Nothing Compares 2 U” and one of my love muffins left this comment/request:

YOU SHOULD POST PRINCE’S LIVE VERSION OF THE SONG WITH ROSIE GAINES PUTTING THE STANKY STANK ON IT. HE WROTE IT IF IM NOT MISTAKEN.

Love muffin you’re correct, “Nothing Compares 2 U” was written around 1984 or 1985 by Prince for The Family. Due to the song’s newfound popularity by Sinéad O’Connor, Prince began to perform it in concert and included a live rendition on his 1993 compilations The Hits/The B-Sides and The Hits 1. Prince’s version features Rosie Gaines, who at the time was in his group the New Power Generation. And yes Rosie Gaines put the “stanky stank” on it!
