Well observed Jayvee , Kate is an enigma , she is a professional dancer and is usually in complete control of her music , her unique talent has been a big influence on other musicians over the years , some of her best tracks include : The man with the child in his eyes , Them heavy people , Wow , Babooshka , Army dreamers , Sat in your lap , Don't give up ( with Peter Gabriel ) , The sensual world , This woman's work and King of the mountain !

This song is truly a masterpiece. Still as haunting today as it was back when it was released. To me one of the most perfect pop songs ever made.

she was 'discovered' and promoted by David Gilmour and became the first female artist to have a number 1 hit with a song that she wrote herself. groundbreaking and amazing artist

Kate Bush is a modern dancer, a very difficult type of interprative dance. This video is great example of it.

Absolute genius. This song changed how I listened to music at 17. I really compare her to Prince- she writes, sings, plays and produces everything.

In the presence of genius.

The Man with the Child In His Eyes, Babooshka, Army Dreamers, Wuthering Heights, Cloud Busting...The list goes on and on. She is just amazing.

I loved this song as a kid. I was 13 in 1985. I was thrilled it had a second life and reached #1 am over the world. She is a Legend. Her Discography is amazing. She writes and produces her own music.

I have all her classic albums. She is not well known in the US but is a great artist who does it all. Writes, plays piano / keyboards, produces her albums, directs her videos. This song is about her wishing for a couple to be able to "swap places" mentally to truly be able to understand each other's feelings

I have every Kate Bush album, and they are all listened to regularly. Kate is so good at imparting a certain mood, calming and glorious. One of the best singers out there.

JayveeTV has the best reaction videos, he doesnt interrupt and if he does its always something relevant that he says. He covers all genres and songs that a lot of people dont. He seems like a cool guy to hangout with or be cool with in real life. Best reactions hands down!

Kate is so remarkable and unique. "Cloudbusting" song and music video is one of the best things i've ever experienced. I'ts also very different and has a interesting story behind it.

OutKast is one of my favourite musical duos. Big Boy has always been open with his obsession with Kate Bush and I’m here for it. Glad to see a new generation appreciate her has much as Big Boy has for a longtime!!!!!!!

Kate is a unique , intelligent and talented dancer, composer and musician, the hounds of love album was recorded without and cymbals on drum kits. which posed the drummers new challenges, the results were just phenomenal.

I love love love this song, it's one of my all time faves of Kate's. Kate has always been a fave singer of mine since the 80's, she's a Legend in my eyes, she's a really unique artist that's for sure.

Kate Bush is my all-time favorite. You gotta keep going with her. Try This Woman's Work, Hounds of Love, Cloudbusting, The Big Sky... there are so many great songs and videos in her career!

Her song, " The man with the child in his eyes" was just perfect. I danced ballet and improvised to this song so much.

This dude was ahead of his time with this video

Kate is one of my favourites. She's written some of the most original music ever. She definitely is in a category on her own. She wasn't aiming for "hits", and no matter how weird her music, she got a lot of radio play in the 80's. Please, listen to Rocket's Tail from the Sensual World. If it doesn't bring tears to your eyes I'll be surprised!

Kate Bush.... The Sensual World or Hound of Love!

The live performance with Kate Bush, Tony Franklin and David Gilmour is also worth checking out.

I've loved Kate from day one , We in the UK first saw her on Top of the pops singing Wuthering Heights , I was in high school ,and the day after that performance everyone in school was talking about it . Kate is the only ever female artist to write ,produce and perform a number 1 single , and has never being matched yet ,I love all her music .

My lord...she's beautiful (love her auburn-red mane!), talented beyond measure, and a voice so unique yet immensely appealing. Kate Bush has "it all." [shaking my head in astonishment]

Loved Kate Bush the second I heard her voice in Wuthering Heights.>3 She is definitely in a category of her own. Hope you do dig deeper into more of her songs. Other favorites are: "This Woman's Work" , "The Sensual World", "Hounds of Love", & of course, Kate's duet with Peter Gabriel in "Don't Give Up".

Thank you for playing Kate Bush. Please play more of her music. A wonderful talent.

Some context for you Kate Bush , was first writing music & songs by around the age of 11, with her brothers. One of whom , knew a friend of Dave Gilmore from Pink Floyd He met Kate when she was around 17 years old , and after hearing some of the 100 or so songs she had written by that time!!. He took her to a recording studio to professionally record some demo tracks. One of those tracks was Wuthering Heights , which she released as her very first single. It was the first song , written by a female artist to hit #1 on the UK charts. In 1978 Kate released two incredible albums The Kick Inside & Lionheart She then followed up in 1980 with her third album Never Forever ... this is where Kate's work really started to develop into her unique sound. Whilst her first two albums are classics & are both excellent. They were very much a more traditional sound (apart from Kate's voice of course!) With Never forever, Kate started to experiment with snyths and sequencers particularly a snyth called a Fairlight , which Peter Gabriel had been using alot. It enabled Kate's imaginaton to run wild! The next two albums The Dreaming & Hounds of Love , are brilliant examples of Kate's genius! She hears melody and atmospheres in such a unique way. Many fans were disappointed with The Dreaming, as they felt it was way too strange! But I adore that album.... She took another 4 years to make an album. But with 1989's The Sensual World. Kate showed a more personal & mature sound. For me it's her most complete album to date . Whilst its not as experimental as The Dreaming or Hounds of Love , it is a sublime and gorgeus record. Theres still some strange stuff in there too. But mostly its a very seductive record.... There's much more to say about Kate Bush ...but mostly , she is unique & extremely brilliant!

Kate Bush is a brilliant vocalist. Check out her duet with Peter Gabriel "Don't Give Up". Also check out Tori Amos.

Your intuition is spot on. I like her cover of Rocket Man in addition to her own stuff.

Kate Bush...enough said. The first time I heard her was when I was in college and bought "The Kick Inside", and was hooked. I always listen to her when I go hiking, especially "Sensual World", my favorite, OMG. Just turn off the lights, put on the headphones and listen to her. You won't be disappointed. "A Woman's World", is probably, the most rerecorded, but every song, every album is totally different. When she records an album, she wants you to feel different emotions and wants you to choose what you like. Sorry, this is long, but, Kate Bush is not easy to explain.

She cast a musical spell on me in the 80's and I'm re-living it all over again. Love Kate ✨💜

She’s amazing, best female artist ever

I’m so pleased you heard her. There’s a whole world out there. This Woman’s Work is a good one. Great video too.

She does all of it writes the lyrics, writes the music, plays the music, designs her shows, oversees all publicity material.

Funny coincidence - I have Turner Classic Movies on in the background (sound off) and they’re playing Wuthering Heights (1939) right now! But anyway, I love this video. Beautiful dancing.

Little did you know this would be the biggest song of 2022!

I’m so glad you are getting into peak Kate Bush years! This album’s second side is a suite of songs called “The Ninth Wave “ it’s one of the most powerful listening experiences you’ll have, I hope you get to listen to it. It’s about a girl swept overboard and lost at sea....

Kate Bush is not your typical songstress...powerful voice, somewhat elusive. She goes her own way. My favorite Kate Bush song is "This Woman's Work". Her voice in this can give you chill bumps. Maxwell does a worthy cover of "This Woman's Work". His falsetto is something to behold.
