I've posted this before, but this is perhaps one of the greatest concert openings I've ever seen.....simply brilliant:

Everyone cites "Nothing Compares......" which is indeed fantastic and deserving of the accolades it gets.

But her first album "the Lion and the Cobra", recorded when she was just 19 or 20 was simply breathtaking. The writing, performance, raw guts, and sheer power were astonishing. And that voice.........absolutely unique. No auto-tune, and a recording that wasn't compressed to death like everything is these days (her power actually created distortion in the process a few times).

The track "Mandinka" became a pop hit, and that's exactly what it was....a pop song. But then there was "Troy", which was just amazing. There's a lot of diversity throughout the whole album. This is perhaps my favourite track from it:
