Anybodies version would seem boring and without feeling compared to Kate Bushs' version, she presented it in a unique way to be sure.

Dave Clark Five, Wolf. Great band in their day. If I recollect right, this song was the first US number one hit by a UK band named after someone in it.

Geez, I stand corrected OK?  Pat Benetar's version was the original one that I heard, and Kate Bush's version is like fingernails on the blackboard, IMHO.  Wink

Hey Ruth I had to laugh at that, please don't take it to heart, lets just say that Kate is an aquired taste.

I actually had not heard Pat's version.

 Kate Bush wrote a lot of her original material when only 17 yrs. of age , I think that is quite an achievement
