Sinead OConnor is widely regarded as one of the most infuential female performers of the 90s, not only for her sensational performances and raw vocal emotion but also for her outspoken confdence to express herself publicly Sinead was born in Dublin in 1966, and was discovered by Paul Byrne, drummer of U2 proteges In Tua Nua, while singing wedding covers in the city. After cowriting the frst In Tua Nua single, she left school to focus on music, studying voice and piano at the Dublin College of Music before relocating to London in 1985. The follow-up album to the hugely successful I Do Not Want What I Havent Got album, Am I Not Your Girl? was released in September 1992 and features Sinead performing a collection of songs that she had grown up listening to and which had inspired her to become a singer. It was during the promotional campaign for the album when Sinead made a controversial appearance on Saturday Night Live. Am I Not Your Girl? features Sineads unmistakable voice accompanied by an orchestra, performing big- band arrangements of tracks such as the single Success Has Made A Failure Of Our Home (a Top 20 hit), Dont Cry For Me Argentina, and Why Dont You Do Right?. LP Tracks: Why Dont You Do Right? / Bewitched, Bothered And Bewildered / Secret Love / Black Coffee / Success Has Made A Failure Of Our Home / Dont Cry For Me Argentina / I Want To Be Loved By You / Gloomy Sunday / Love Letters / How Insensitive / Scarlet Ribbons / Dont Cry For Me Argentina (Instrumental)
