Her debut single, "Wuthering Heights," became a massive success, reaching No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart and making Bush the first woman to top the chart with a song she wrote herself.
"Well, I hadn't read the book, that wasn't what inspired it. It was a television series they had years ago," she shared in a 1978 BBC interview. "I just managed to catch the very last few minutes where there was a hand coming through the window and blood everywhere and glass. And I just didn't know what was going on and someone explained the story."
"It was just fascinating me so much, it kept coming into my brain," she later recalled. "I thought the only way to get rid of it and stop it bothering me was to write it down. So I read the book and it amazed me. It was such a beautiful story. I made sure that I had read it as I was doing it as a tribute to Emily Brontë and anytime you do a something with somebody else's work, you should take care with it because you might well be abusing their expressions. But I found the book more than I had hoped for because for a girl so young it was beautiful that she had the strength to do it."
Bush's success came on the heels of being discovered and championed by David Gilmour of Pink Floyd, who helped her record early demos and secure a record deal, ultimately setting the stage for her remarkable debut.
More than four decades later, "Wuthering Heights" remains a defining moment in Kate Bush's career and a landmark in pop music history, celebrated for its creativity, originality and enduring influence.
