More famous for being an activist and a loon than being a singer. Seems to have had a sad life really. 

 

Shame, cos she was definitely a talent

One unwilling to conform

she only had one song and borrowed it off Prince

That's a wind up surely. She did some.amazing albums. The lion and the cobra, I do not want what I haven't got, am I not your girl? All brilliant albums.

A true punk spirit, very sad stuff.

Nothing compares to you was the only one of hers I could immediately remember. I knew she'd done other stuff but atill surprised how many albums shes done. I'll have to give some of her other stuff a listen this week. 

Presumably she topped herself? Poor lass.

Aye, but still a memorable voice at a key time for me.

Don't know much about her, but from reports she clearly was prolific in recording (up to 2014 apparently) and composing.

She said she was when she was younger, then retracted the statement I think

Aye fair dos on that. She also exposed or helped to drive the expose of nonces in the Catholic Church.

And got cut adrift by the industry for it.

Two weeks after she ripped up a picture of the pope she got boo-ed at all places 'Bobfest' a Bob Dylan tribute concert, and went onto to do a version of War by Bob Marley.

Shocking that so many in a Bob Dylan concert would be so conservative.  Mind you, her screeching at the end hardly encourages me to check out her other stuff!

Paul Reubens aka Pee Wee Herman 

Loved his Big Aventure film as a kid 

Shame he was a bit of a nonce

Fascinating career - a non-entity in his own country, a superstar abroad

My co director is South African, she adores him and went to the massive concert in 95. But also had no idea no one had heard of him. Interesting how locked off culturally a country can be due to politics.

I got into him through I Am Kloot as they loved his album which is great.
