Kate Bush Queen Of British Pop

Ten minute 2009 documentary that does just what it says on the tin! Kate Bush (born Catherine Bush 30 July 1958) is an English singer-songwriter, musician and record producer. Her eclectic musical style and idiosyncratic vocal style have made her one of the United Kingdom's most successful solo female performers of the past 30 years. Bush was signed by EMI at the age of 16 after being recommended by Pink Floyd's David Gilmour. In 1978, at age 19, she topped the UK Singles Chart for four weeks with her debut single "Wuthering Heights", becoming the first woman to have a UK number-one with a self-written song.

After her 1979 tour — the only concert tour of her career — Kate released the 1980 album Never for Ever, which made her the first British solo female artist to top the UK album charts and the first female artist ever to enter the album chart at No. 1. In 1987, she won a BRIT Award for Best British Female Solo Artist. In 2002, Kate's songwriting ability was recognised with an Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music. In 2005, she released Aerial, her first album in 12 years.

Maybe POP & BEYOND...

There is too much experimenting for it to be defined as just pop.

Pop? Queen of ROCK!

So far this is the best YouTube documentary/interview upload. Thank you so very much for loading this for us. I've been a fan since I was 10 in 1979 when I first heard "Wuthering Heights" and she's always amazed me. To those that do not know Kate's music, it's worth exploring. It takes some getting used to but is worth it in the end.

Fascinating to say the least... her brother looks like a wizard:)

You know there was a vote on the programme's BBC website - and KT got more than all the others put together!

I'd be tempted to call her 'the people's goddess' but that's just cheesy

Nice piece. Especially liked hearing from the brother.

I never got the feeling that Kate was trying to control her community.  I think it was more of an "If you sing it, they will come" sort of thing.
