Her voice was so different. I love her music. <3

The first time I saw her perform this on tv was on a 'Rock goes to college' type thing. She was backed by a band called The Edge (members went on to play with 80s bands The Yachts, Culture Club, PIL, etc.) who worked with her on a lot of her very early stuff. Story goes that the record company took her demo (with The Edge) and replicated it with studio musicians. Anyway, I digress! Kirsty is up there with the very best that Britain has ever produced!

Kirsty co-wrote the song with Phil Rambow - who played guitar on a lot of her first album.
