In the May Issue of VOX magazine there is part eight of the VOX Encyclopaedia
of Rock,this includes Kate under the b section.This is what they say word
for word about her:
  KATE BUSH
Precocious teenage singer/songwriter/pianist who shot to fame in 1978 when her
first single,'Wuthering Heights' topped the charts in Britain,Australia and
elsewhere.Pink Floyd guitarist Dave Gilmour had shown an early interest,and
encouraged EMI to sign her as a schoolgirl to give her time to mature before
recording.
Her debut Number 3 album The Kick Inside contained another hit,'The Man With
The Child In His Eyes'.Lionheart late in 1978 made Number 6 and included 'Wow',
a Number 14 single untypical in its weakness as a song but provoking as ever a
showcase for her remarkable high-pitched voice.
Her shows involved elements of mime and ballet,but tours became fewer and
farther between:her only live recording remains an EP,'On Stage'(1979).Never
Forever in 1980 entered the LP chart at Number 1:the peak of her fame.It
included the far-sighted 'green' single 'Breathing' and the Number 5 'Babooshka'
The Dreaming in 1982 was her first self-production and the only Top Three LP
that year by a British female singer in a chart full of Duran Duran and Culture
Club:concerned with Australia's Aborigine culture,it included Rolf Harris on
didgeridoo!Hounds Of Love topped the chart two years later(including the Number
3 single 'Running Up That Hill') and was her first US Top Thirty LP.The Whole
Story compilation gave her a third  UK Number 1 LP in 1986:it included a version
of 'Wuthering Heights' with a new vocal.
Bush collaborated occasionally with Peter Gabriel on his albums,as well as
demonstrating a sense of humour in Charity and Comic Relief appearances.She
described her most recent album,The Sensual World(1989),as 'an expression of
positive female energy':it was inspired like 'Wuthering Heights' by literature
(James Joyce's Ulysses) and encompassed even more exotic and ethnic elements
than usual including Bulgarian vocalists Trio Bulgarka.The title track was a
hit single,but the album was blocked from the chart summit by Phil Collins.This
Woman's Work a box set issued in 1990,included all her recordings and was
highly acclaimed.
Kate Bush's all-round talents are likely to keep her visible for the forseeable
future-but she remains determined to do it at her own speed.




Well there you go!!
Incidentally Trio Bulgarka's vocals are being used on a Make-up advert in the
UK at the moment.
