Kate Bush began her career in 1978 at the age of nineteen with the single 'Wuthering Heights', inspired by a film adaptation of the Emily Bronte novel, the first No. 1 UK single to be written and sung by a female artist, and the accompanying album The Kick Inside, both of which established her as a highly individual talent. She has always preferred the recording studio, with live performances and tours having been few and far between, and all of her albums have been very successful at home and abroad-her third, Never for Ever (1980), being the first by a female artist to enter the British chart at No. 1. Her eclectic, experimental musical style with its often literary and unconventional lyrical themes has defied easy categorisation and earned the lasting admiration of fans, fellow performers, and music critics alike, while a diverse roster of guest artists, including Eric Clapton, Elton John, Prince, and Stephen Fry, have appeared on her work. Song by Song provides a thorough examination of the songs on all her singles, albums, and occasional recorded collaborations with other artists.
