Game 18

The voice that surprised the whole country

March 1978

The game's question

Go clue by clue, with no hurry, the way you would listen to a new record.

March 1978. On the radio, a song that sounded like nothing else: a young woman’s voice, very high and very clear. In kitchens and in cars, people stopped to listen. On 11 March, ‘Wuthering Heights’ went to number one and stayed at the top for four weeks. Which singer was it? Circle her name together.

  • Mary Hopkin
  • Kate Bush
  • Kiki Dee
Need a hint?

Try humming it softly, as high as you dare. Then think of the garden: her surname is also the word for a shrub.

See the answer

Answer: Kate Bush – ‘Wuthering Heights’, number one on 11 March 1978.
