lmao racing up that hill from the album dogs of love is my favorite song by kate shrub

I love that "Hounds of.. Hounds of?" Kate: Love! Love!"

I’m amazed at Kate’s professionalism and class... I want to be like that when having to deal with dumbasses/fake idiots. What a queen.

That interviewer clearly didn't do her research. Racing up that Hill...

This interviewer has the warmth of a block of ice.

God I love her. You can see how much she hates the promotional side of music but she thinly veils it with a gracious smile in such a perfectly British way

This interviewer only needed one question: "Kate, what is it that makes you such a beautiful and brilliant spirit, someone who understands that popular music can, at its best, be pure poetry?"

To be fair, there were a lot of interviewers who really weren’t at the races in the 70/80s… it was like watching your pop heroes being interviewed by your parents.

Racing Up That Hill off The Hounds Of Um

5 minutes before the interview started :- "Who's this we've got in?" .. "Kate, who?" .. "Ah right and she's got a single, right?" .. "Racing did you say? OK no problem. Be a dear and write it down on a piece of paper for me" .. "Is she touring?" .. "You think so, oh OK, I'll assume she is" .. "Look, I'll just bluff my way through it. Say I've read some 9 page article. You know, that sort of stuff" .. "It'll work as anyone viewing will be eating their dinner and half listening anyway" .... 5 minutes after the end :- "Well, I thought that went well. She was very charming .. Be a honey tomorrow though, eh and get me Kenny Loggins will yer. Much more my scene and I've heard of one of his songs, too!"

Racing up that hill is my favorite Kate Bush record. I love how she played the Fairchild in it.

'Racing Up That Hill', 'Walking The Witch'. You have to love an interviewer who doesn't do her research.

Good grief, this is excruciating. Kate Bush will be remembered forever as a creative genius on the scale of Bowie.

I'm always impressed at how collected and charming Kate comes across in interviews, especially in this one which is a little laughable. She has more patience than most artists would in this situation. Goes to show how much of a class act she is.

she's like an angel

Kate Bush was way to exceptional for pop stardom. She is a true artist.

When Kate says 'Love' right after the host botches 'Running (racing) up that Hill' I get chills all over my body and my hair stands up. What a magical creature. I also love her cute cheek dimple under her eye :D

Well, I know Americans are super late, but I'm glad that she's finally getting the recognition here that she rightfully deserves. Being an amazing artist and an inspiration for many!!! 🙏💞

Racing up that hill! Hounds of what? .... some presenter! Love you Kate and CONGRATULATIONS on the success of Running up that Hill yet again xxx

She was so collected, such a pro. Her soft kindness that came through beat easily the bad manners of the reporter.

The interviewer did not have a clue to how great the legend in front of her was to become.

Running up the Hill just hit number one in June 2022! Since being played on Stranger Things recently it become a hit again . It only took 37 years .

the only thing I really rescue from this lame interview is...how well put together and polite Kate Bush is - the interviewer was extremely rude from the start, painful to watch

WOW that was uncomfortable. The interviewer was more like a judge in court grilling the person on the stand. You could see Kate's extreme discomfort after answering some of the questions, but she maintained her grace.

"By a David Gilmore of Pink Floyd..." The disrespect in the tone of this presenter is beyond the roof...

BEGINS by asking about Kate's live shows which hadn't happened in over 5 years at that point and would not happen again until 2014 - very painful

RACING UP THAT HILL? That's just bad journalism.

Kate is so charming when being interviewed, even like this! Its obvious the interviewer did the minimum amount of research. kate looks really peed off!

Couldn't help but lmao listening to this debacle and reading all of the comments below. Kate was definitely calm and patient with this interviewer. But, there is a reason for this - she's had lots of practice - with English interviewers. This is well before her visit to the US. There are some really cringe-worthy interviews with men asking the questions. But, this one is definitely the icing on the cake. Uh, make that icing splattered on the top of the cake after it falls ass-over-tea-kettle onto a rain-drenched road. Loved the way Kate said 'Love', in a way only she can say it.

Interesting clip for comparrison between posture and gesture and behaviour between a European and an American woman...

Great album. One would expect no less. The woman is a perfectionist performance genius.

Her's Kim Bush with her latest single Racing Up That Hill...what a dolt! Of course Kate has nothing but class and style and does her usual great interview.

OH MY! What would have happened if she’d had proper exposure and actually decent interviews in America? I’m an American but discovered her kind of on my own! But, what if.....

this is almost as cringe as the night flight interview god bless Kate she is so gracious and kind

She so beautiful, sweet and humble. I'm glad that her music is getting renewed attention and appreciation.

Racing Up That Hill played on the Fairchild - my favourite.

Zero appreciation for art. Kate was booked for ratings and nothing more. The fact that they couldn't be bothered to do an ounce of research shows how little they respect Kate and their own profession as "journalists".

Beaming intelligence and charme.

Love the SHOWTIME opener in the beginning of this!

Such an unpleasant woman, shame Kate had to put up with that.

Done with listening to Racing through the Mill, Father stands for comfort, the Evening Fog, Walking the Witch, Goodbye Earth, Jig of Death, and the Big Spy. Now I'm going to listen to 50 Words for Slow.

I didn't like that woman interviewing, something a little rude and hostile about her...:/ Poor sweet Kate.

Fast forward to 2022.

This interview was better than the Nightflight interview. The host may not have been well researched on Kate's work (if the comment about being a last minute booking is true). At least she corrected herself and seemed impressed with Kate as an artist.

I remember when I first heard Wuthering Heights in 1978? 1977? It stopped me dead in my tracks. That has never happened to me before or since. I was mesmerized. She is truly unique. Keeping Your Head Up by Birdy is similar to Kate Bush. Another brilliant song in its own right.

"Fairchild"? - Jeez, its Fairlight...

God, I lived in NYC during this time. Sue Simmons was known for some of her explosive freakouts.

I was half expecting her to correct it to "SKIING UP THAT HILL on the album THE HOUNDS OF LUST."

😵‍💫 Racing up that hill

Una grand artista

They’re racing up that hill towards a Fairchild (whatever that is) hoping it doesn’t have mechanical problems.

She's a lady . An English rose 🌹 "Oh England my Lionheart" penned by someone who loves her country.

Racing Up That Hill sounds like an interesting song. Hasn't been released yet.

Thank you, Don Pardo.

She is just too deep for American audiences. American's like music and that is short in length and easily accessible. Music that is complex takes repeated listens to get and American's (for the most part) don't have patience for that. I mean, come on - Peter Gabriel era Genesis was so complex and they were a "cult band" in America and much bigger in Europe, Invisible Touch on the other hand was huge in the good old USA. Oh and I am an American, so I have seen this first hand.

Very professional and sweet voice. Wuthering heights sond and video clip is exciting and thrilling!

Sue Simmons was one of my favourite Black American newscaster. Prince was a fan of Kate Bush. Her song This Woman's Work. Today we forget the worth of recording studios.

Yes. I remember a lot of artists in the 80's using the Fairchild. Like Peter Garbriel, Bryan Neo and Thomas Dobly. I think Sue Simmons would be right in saying that you could fart into it and it sounded like a 50 piece orchestra. Is that right?

I Believe This Was A Video Clip Of WNBC-TV's News 4 Live At 5's Entertainment News Report On Interview With Kate Bush On Monday Evening, November 18, 1985.

Quiet a pleasant interview

This interview is so cringe. It's too bad that these interviewers didn't seem to realize that they were essentially getting an opportunity to interview Howard Hughes and these interviews would be watched in the future by many, many fans of this reclusive genius. There are so many questions I'd love to hear Kate Bush answer, and we only get this ill-prepared, surface tripe.

Kate Bush is everything!!!

- Today our guest is Kate... Kate... - Bush! - Bush!

As a young boy not yet in my teens it was either Kate Bush or Lynda Carter I think it's the big eyes they had and still have that captivated me.

2:36 The 70s and the 80s were my first decades of discovering music and especially the 80s (including this song) affected my taste in music fundamentally. But in retrospect: how SHIT things were back then! "You were discovered..." Back then creators/artists were _discovered_ by labels, and typically managed local to one country at first. Now everyone (literally a thousand times more creators compared to then) can easily create, perform, produce, release and market music and even videos completely on their own on no-cost worldwide platforms, being available to billions of people. Imagine the luck that we all had that Kate Bush actually were discovered back then, and not yet another mainstream music broiler. And imagine how many creative talents that weren't... Today I discover several new amazing creators ecery week, from lots of countries. In the 80s, you typically had to spend lots of time and effort to find the interesting stuff: traveling to the next city, slightly larger that had record shops with (imported) alternative music, spy-reading rock magazines (also next city), staying up late night listening to more obscure radio channels/programs that played all the good stuff that weren't on the charts. It was also a misogynistic industry - so hard to find interesting female artists that didn't compromise on their artistic integrity. Virtually all record label bosses, all managers, all journalists and all magazine editors were men. Today, yt recommendations do all of that for me for free, way more efficient and also better than any chart or Spotify selection/collection. I loved the 80s and all the new genres and non-mainstream music from then, but all things together, music (the art form, the industry) is so much better now! [Thank you if you read all the way through my too long rant]

The interviewer was clearly not a fan, and because of her lack of research, she tried to expose Kate's vulnerabilities and assumed attitudes towards the American people to fill the void of this embarrassing interview. Kate was a class act who outclassed the interviewer.

HOUNDS OF... what? AUHUHAUHAHUAHUA

I'm going down a Kate Bush interview rabbit hole

I’m sort of amazed at all the shade being thrown at Sue Simmons in these comments!! I was never a fan, although I’ve known of her presence for her entire career on television back in those days. She never pretended to know more than she did - who knows how much earlier than the actual interview she got to do the research. I was expecting to see some really cringe-worthy disrespect from Simmons to the Divine Kate Bush - but that was not it at all. She didn’t know Kate’s work - she admitted it. Maybe she was a tad brusque, especially in the presence of such a great artist - but she knew nothing about her really, and said so right up front. She corrected her misnaming of “Running Up That Hill” - she wished Kate the best of luck in her career. I guess it was the comments that made me brace myself for something much worse. Jeez - it was a 5-minute interview. I don’t know - like I said, I was never a Sue Simmons fan, and she was just a newscaster, whereas Kate Bush I’ve adored since well before this interview took place - she had me at her performance of “Them Heavy People” on Saturday Night Live in 1979, and ever since - so I’m a huge fan. I don’t feel Simmons was in the least bit disrespectful, dopey, rude or mean. She did her best. She made a couple of mistakes, because of her lack of knowledge of the subject - she admitted them where she saw them, and tried to clear them up. And she even said, obviously impressed, that she had read a 9-page article on Kate’s musicianship. Sounds like everyone is expecting Sue Simmons to be a totally prepared Dick Cavett hour with Kate Bush. Strange to me the contempt shown by so many here.

‘I don’t even know what you were talking about’ with that almost accusatory tone was very strange

Ah yes, I remember "Racing Up That Hill" By Catherine Tree, Released in 1975 on the album "Dogs Of Romance".

Hands down, one of the best interviewers ever. She asked really interesting questions that hinted at things we've always wondered about. Kate's fear of traveling over water, her recognizing that her music wasn't intended for American pop radio, and that the sudden interest in her in the US was because we were eager for genuine voices. Good on Kate for a great interview....but, Sue Simmons did her job.

And Sarah Bushwell's debut album walking down that footpath is her last album in North America.

Wow the interviewer when she said Kate just sent a video over to America instead of doing a live tour lol.

omg im only just at racing up that hill and im on the floor laughing lol

0:38 :O IT'S RUNNING UP THAT HILL NOT RACING UP THAT HILL!

Yes, that well-known Kate classic, "Racing Up That Hill".....

Yes, it is well known in NYC circles

I can see why Kate dislikes doing the media stuff, that has got to be the worst prepared interviewer of all time got both the single & the album names wrong, what a muppet, that ladies in the wrong job🤪

Rolling down that road by kat boosh.

The reporter is Sue "The Fuck you doing" Simmons.

oh, when were you in the US? I have lived in the UK. Just curious Jay in NYC

I've always sang "Running Up That Hill" oops

This interviewer was better than the one from nightflush or whatever it was. I don't think she was ill prepared as much as rushing to get the interview done in the few minutes remaining on the show. She corrected her mistake over the title. Ok she got the name of a synthesiser wrong but it was a nice touch to say that the breaks would have come for Kate.

I'm surprised Kate didn't correct her on the "Fairchild", I would have. But then again, it's not a Sue Simmons interview if she doesn't fuck up at least a few times!

I don't know... but... I love her!

Now Ms Kate Bush is a big super star all over again ✨

I am laughing so hard at all these clever comments!! I hope Kate sees them🤣

Oh ok, they made a mistake after I'd posted that hehe. I love Kate, I did a Parody of Wuthering Heights on my channel and I don't think ANYBODY can come close to her voice haha. Love her! xxxx

running up that hill looked almost like aikido and/or jui jitsu.

By the seemingly infinite grace of Kate

Shocking questions..........

Beautiful Kate, so lovely

Not many artists of that era were quite so astute re the music business.

She is always quick with her answers in her interviews but I don't think she likes interviews because of the stupid questions she is asked,I'm sure sometimes it's hard for Kate not to laugh.I have seen many of her interviews and a lot of the questions are nearly always the same.She is very patient,humble and polite.

I think the interviewer was very respectful, she corrected herself and was very supporting and polite in her wording.

Haha Don Pardo at the end!

She wrote her hit Racing Up That Hill on the Fairchild. Fail. LOL

Racing up that Hill! Hounds of...Hounds of...?

*@ the **0:36** mark:* Sue Simmons, reading off of a teleprompter, still can't get the title right.
