Don't get me wrong, both are great, but Prince voice just gets 2 me. I love hearing Eric Leeds playing in the background, while Prince sings the touching lyrics... makes my eyes water up  .i'd love 2 hear prince sing this song i had the family's album and i love all of the songs 2 stand outs are: river run dry and nothing compares 2 u beautiful and moving album | |

I've been looking for it for years.I'd be more than happy to send you an original copy of this, since I already have it on CD, that is if you're interested. Orgnote me with your details. . "You don't frighten us, English pig dogs. Go and boil your bottoms, sons of a silly person." | |

THE ORCHESTRATION. THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS I LOVE ABOUT THE FAMILY'S ALBUM. PRINCE'S VERSION IS RAW AND I LIKE IT OF COURSE BUT IT LACKS THE DRAMA OR WHATEVER THAT MAKES YOU FEEL THE SONG. | |

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who likes The Family versions of those songs better.
I think St. Paul's voice is amazing. Even if he was following P's instructions/lead, his tonal quality is so emotional.  |

You are definately not. I love the entire Family album and prefer that version of Nothing Compares 2U over Sinead's AND Prince's.I think St. Paul's voice is amazing. Even if he was following P's instructions/lead, his tonal quality is so emotional. | |
