Watching these old interviews of Kate literally make me cry. I'm 50 now, but have been in love with her and her music since I was a teenager in Poland. The innocence, purity, genuineness, sincerity, kindness, and knowing what was to come for her and the genius she would grace us with is just overwhelming. Transposed with the shallowness, vanity, and lack of talent these days, this is particularly moving. There is not a gram of vanity or entitlement in this woman. What a beautiful human being she is. I feel really fortunate to have grown up with her music and always appreciated it. Thank you, Kate.

She's so sweet to the children calling in, she's just the purest soul on earth. "EEEEEEEEE...it's very early in the morning" she's so adorable. This is one of my favorite videos with her, my heart...also the guy interviewing her is so nice, that's rare.

Ditto. How sad For the twerking generations of today- And to embrace natural beauty is somewhat lost on youth today.😢🌬💋

I believe this is the most adorable thing I have ever seen and ever will see in my entire life.

What makes Kate so fascinating is the fact that her music is so deep, so inspired, such an enigma while she herself is elegant, graceful, beautiful, poetic, but yet, she's always been so humbled and down-to-earth that you'd think you were talking to the girl-next-door. She comes off as a simple girl with a kind disposition until she records a song she wrote and then she becomes other-worldly. It's as fascinating to watch her talk as it is to watch her perform. Kate Bush is like finding out that Tom Hanks was a literary giant in the field of quantum physics. They say everyone has two sides, but Kate Bush is ridiculous.

You've pretty much summed up why she's one of my heroes; there's a mystical nature to her music that is endlessly intriguing yet she herself comes across as very modest and lovely.

This is such a lovely reminder of how simple and innocent things were, and should be. Kate was a super role model.

How life was so innocent then and everyone was polite and had respect, my how times have changed!

All the little girls calling in to compliment her hair is the sweetest thing

Her personality blows away any female performer today. She is/was lightyears away from the trash in music today.

She’s just so chill. Doing what she loves and what makes her happy. And luckily for us brings others delight. I am just rediscovering her after liking some of her music when I was a teen, but now I am older, I can really appreciate the nuances.

Holy s@#$ she was incredibly beautiful!!!!! When she was speaking on that ridiculous phone for a moment and the camera came in close,.Something in her eyes!!! I felt suddenly as though I had stepped off a cliff into some sort of deep warm chasm,.it actually startled me,..her beauty is soooo deep and her soul shines through her like an intense bright light,..it draws you in,...Where is she from? Somewhere far away? Long ago? Amazing ,..like a little pixie!!! Or a White Witch maybe?

Why can't everyone be like her more like? There is an adorable little snort laugh in there.

She is still that 11 year old girl sitting and reading and dreaming and writing pop songs. She is still pure.

When there’s someone as good as Kate is in their field, a good interview will get a lot out of them. It’s about the work and her willingness to communicate the ideas and concepts at it’s core. Her work will remain relevant and played simply because it’s genre busting and not subject to the same fashionable forces that sink more commercially minded work. A true artist with something to say.

I love how direct she was about men being grown up kids. That’s a good quality in men.

I've adored Kate Bush since my wonderful HS girlfriend, circa 1981...an Air Force brat that lived near Birmingham for bit, introduced me to Kick Inside and Lionheart. Anyone who gets Kate Bush can't put it onto words. i'm one of them.

It's great seeing this again. I was watching at the time. Wonderful how all the kids who rang in were so polite, engaged and intelligent back then. I miss those days.

So adorable and charming. Ever since I was a little boy I was hooked on her. Never tired of her and her music. She's a national treasure.

The best thing with this video is that they can watch back and see the legend she has become...Also they got to chat with Mr Blobbys dad.

Kate has always been the cutest and so humble

The 2nd TOTP appearance was a real testament to Kate. The backing band wasn't hers and they were woefully under-rehearsed and couldn't play the pre-chorus in time, but she kept it going!

A beautiful soul with an angles voice with no desire to join the circus of celebrity . A one off

I watched this interview at the time it was aired - so wonderful to see it now. The Kick Inside is 45 years old today....
