I wasn’t too much attracted to Sinéad O’Connors music except for Nothing compares 2U and I didn’t know anything more about her.
Yesterday while zapping I came halfway across a 2022 documentary about her.
I got to know about the background and history. Now I understand more and can really appreciate her music. And I now also understand why this documentary ran.
What an incredible and brave person she was, a fighter and a hero, an inspiring voice in every way possible for man and woman alike.

From Wiki
Just as the second album was getting off the ground, one of the group’s core musicians, 27-year-old keyboardist Jo Bruce, (son of Cream bass player Jack Bruce), died suddenly of an asthma attack.[14] The band was devastated, and the album was put on hold. Sinéad O’Connor then collaborated with the band and helped them cope with their loss. “[O’Connor] blew into the studio on a windy November night and blew away again leaving us something incredibly emotional and powerful,” McNally told Katz. “We had this track we didn’t know what to do with. Sinéad scribbled a few lyrics and bang! She left us completely choked up.”[full citation needed] The band used the name of O’Connor’s song, “Release”, for the title of their album. Volume 2: Release was released in 1999, and by the spring of 2000 it had sold more than half a million copies worldwide. Release is also used as one of the GCSE music set works in the UK that students are required to study for their exam.[15]

I listened to the Lion and the Cobra again today. It’s an amazing album, well worth trying. This all makes me so sad, she was incredibly talented.

Who?
That guy from The Eagles. He co-wrote ‘Take It To The Limit’.
Wonder what the Americans made of him when he first went over there to wrestle.

Seems he got to do what a half of Britain would have loved to do, and give Jimmy Savile a bit of a kicking:
