About the artist: Kate Bush (1958) is a British singer/songwriter, who in 1978 topped the UK Singles Chart for four weeks with her debut single Wuthering heights. Many hits (singles and albums) followed. She is generally seen as one of the greatest influences on a generation of female pop/rock artists who came after her. Kate Bush currently has seven songs in my list of about 200 best pop/rock songs of all time (and one as a part of a duo).
About the song: Running up that hill (A deal with God) was the lead-off single of the 1985 album Hounds of love. It is one of the ultimate eighties' songs, with its heartbeat like rhythm - the All Music Guide hails it as one of the most sensual songs ever made. It was to be her biggest hit since the overwhelming debut single Wuthering Heights, reaching #3 in the UK, and her only outing to the USA top 40. Run time 5:03.
