She’s no slouch herself: As member of the Family, a splinter group of the Time, she co-sang the unique model of "Nothing Compares 2 U" and co-wrote certainly one of Prince’s sweetest songs, Sign o’ the Times’ "Starfish and Coffee." In line with Melvoin, William Orbit provided her some tracks to put in writing melodies and lyrics to and sing over for what she thought would either turn out to be her solo debut or an album by Orbit’s Strange Cargo project, which she - and, it seems, Madonna - both beloved. Melvoin maintains she also wrote the original lyrics to Ray of Light‘s "Swim," which, she says had been "changed, but not significantly," in addition to the unique melodies, which she concedes had been "manipulated." Yet on this case Melvoin didn’t get credit or compensation. I've by no means been to something that’s hers that she didn’t have the final say on it. She’s hands-on. People can say whatever they need, however I remember when she did Dick Tracy, I had never seen anybody work so laborious. "That’s not common. Say ‘Live to inform,’ for instance, our first massive single. The first one yielded "Sepheryn," which Leach altered and sang parts of over the instrumental track given to her by Orbit, who had assumed Leach solely wrote what she sang.
