oF COURSE EVERYONE knew it was Kate Bush, she was credited on the album cover. Gabriel's first choice was Dolly Parton. Kate also did backups on Games Without Frontiers, and she sucked. -- (edited) - loosilu Apr 27, 17:32
Kate Bush did such a good job Peter Gabriel gave her a promotion six years later for Don't Give Up. -- nm - Max Apr 27, 17:29 2

5 is the only one that I knew about. I can hear 12 just replaying it in my head -- nm - prayformojo Apr 27, 17:08 2
