This week in 1978, Kate Bush released her debut album, "The Kick Inside." Still a teen when it was released, it includes her No. 1 U.K. hit, "Wuthering Heights." Bush had been writing songs since her early teens, with some demos funded by Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour. Artsy, cinematic, literary, her debut was a was a sensation in England — enough to get her booked that year on Saturday Night Live in the States — although the album failed to crack even the Top 200 in America, where Kate Bush would remain a cult artist. We celebrate The Kick Inside, Kate Bush’s debut, this week on Teenage Kicks.
