I said “our” as in English 🙄

She also wrote all her own songs and could dance brilliantly.

I loved Karen Carpenter but in terms of a pure and unique talent Kate is streets ahead.

Great documentary of her here filmed when she was 20-21.

The years don’t spare anyone but are just harder on some than others. Whilst not saying that she wasn’t talented, I wasn’t too keen on her songs.

I agree one of our best female talents. Still think the Yanks pulled out some super amazing talented singers in a different league who are worldwide famous even now - Karen Carpenter - Whitney - Aretha to name but three.

Kates Bush in her prime must have been wholesome!

Sa the Carpenters at the Odeon in Brum back in the day. Stood in the pouring rain on a Sunday morning for the tickets. Found out in retrospect that this was the time of her illness but it never showed through then. Tragic loss in the end

First female to solo write a UK number song. No inside knowledge but I always imagine she will live up to her family name.

Group of us were having a discussion last night about best girl singer of the time and my comment that Dusty Springfield could belt out a tune was unanimously agreed.

Awful Scoop and because she thought she was overweight and lacked the love of her mum! Just shows money does not mean everything but happiness is everything!
