On this day in 1978, the Kate Bush single “Wuthering Heights” went to #1 on the UK Singles Chart (March 11)
Kate Bush began writing songs at 11.
She was signed to EMI Records after Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour helped produce a demo tape.
She wrote this one aged just 18, and recorded the vocal track in only one take....
And that’s David Paton and Ian Bairnson from Pilot and the Alan Parsons Project on guitars, with Bairnson playing the memorable lead break…
“Wuthering Heights” was based on the famous Emily Brontë novel, and with it, Kate Bush became the first female artist to have an entirely self-penned #1 hit in the UK, with the song staying at the top for a month.
"Wuthering Heights" also spent three weeks at #1 in Australia, five weeks at #1 in New Zealand, and also topped the charts in Ireland and Portugal.
Her debut single from her debut album “The Kick Inside” also reached the Top 10 in Belgium, the Netherlands, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Switzerland, as well as the Top 20 in Austria and West Germany.
Fun fact: Kate Bush and Emily Brontë were both born on 30 July, Bush in 1958 and Brontë in 1818, 140 years apart.
Hauntingly beautiful and unique song....
