Kate Bush

Born: Jul 30, 1958
|
'Kate Bush' (qv) began playing piano at a young age, and by her
mid-teens had composed over 200 songs. Her talent caught the notice
of 'David Gilmour' (qv) (Pink Floyd) who assisted in arranging her
contract with EMI. The first song she released, "Wuthering
Heights", soared to #1 in England in 1979. Since then Kate has
achieved a notable career as a singer and musician. Kate began
producing her own albums and videos early on. Her growing interest
in film was highly evident in the 1985 video for her song
"Cloudbusting" which starred 'Donald Sutherland' (qv), which is a
mini-film in itself. Another 1985 video, "Hounds of Love", is a
tribute to Hitchcock. Following the release of her 1993 album "The
Red Shoes", influenced by filmmaker 'Michael Powell' (qv), Kate
produced the short film _Line, the Cross & the Curve, The (1993)_
(qv), using five songs from the album as a basis for the film in a
mysterious, mythical retelling of the tale of The Red Shoes.
