For this week’s installment of “120 Minutes” Rewind, we present this “120 X-Ray” segment on Sinead O’Connor that aired Jan. 28, 1990, and ends with host Dave Kendall introducing the world premiere of the soon-to-be-iconic video for the Prince-penned “Nothing Compares 2 U.”
The interview and premiere aired about two months before the release of O’Connor’s sophomore album, I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got. Kendall introduces the premiere of the “Nothing Compares 2 U” video by imploring viewers to “sit down, pour yourself a stiff soda pop and be prepared for your spine to tingle.”
He wasn’t wrong.
