The Kate Bush Story
Kate Bush's career runs from the 1978 release of "Wuthering Heights," which made her the first woman to top the UK singles chart with a self-written song, through to 2011's "50 Words for Snow." This BBC film traces that arc through interviews with the people who worked alongside her and the artists she influenced, including Pink Floyd's David Gilmour, her longtime engineer and former partner Del Palmer, Elton John, and Stephen Fry. Contributors describe her evolution from a teenage songwriter discovered by Gilmour into a famously private studio perfectionist who built her own production setup and largely stepped back from touring after 1979. The film moves chronologically through the albums, using the recollections of collaborators rather than narration to explain how a singular, theatrical songwriting style took shape and why she became so influential despite rarely performing live or giving interviews herself.
