Pat Benatar and Kate Bush are both up for entry into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year. It would be amazing if they both got in and shared the stage to do this song together!
Personally, I can’t stand Kate Bush’s voice and for the life of me why would she be in the hall of fame when their are so many artists that are actually talented have yet to even been given a chance. The rock and roll hall of fame is a joke
@@darquone2238 Many people can't stand Kate's voice (Personally, I think her voice is incredibly melodic, but HEY!) but NOBODY who examines her catalog and compositions, lyrics, and tunes can doubt her qualifications for *any* Hall of Fame. :)
The book is the greatest love story ever written, Some say its Romeo & Juliette but we should remember they were only 13 years old it was not an adult love.
First time I hear Pat's rendition and I dare to say that the difference between it and the Kate Bush's original is a matter of feeling. Kate delivers all the desperation and solitude of a ghost who claims attention from its still loving subject. Pat Benatar sounds like Cathy finally had accepted her condition and is just complaining about the grown distance between her and Heathcliff. And both are simply gorgeous, each version in their own voices.
The other difference is just that she doesnt sings it as high-pitched as Kate but who could blame Pat this song is so hard to sing. Apart from that both songs have that magnificent rendition
Great song. Heard Kates original version on her first album The Kick Inside in 1978 that I still have. I think Pat helped Kate get more recognition, but as good as her version is, Kates is the ultimate. I'm glade Kate is finally in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Very deserved. I'm sad it took so long and probably occurred because of Stranger Things having Running Up That Hill on the latest season, but long overdue.
Her husband Neil persuaded Pat to cover it! Pat's a fan of Kate but even Pat admitted in liner notes on Synchronistic Wanderings that she didn't think she did the song justice like Kate's original. I am a fan of both artists; 2 completely different artists. Personally I think Pat's cover is better than the other covers of Kate's songs so kudos to Pat!! 😊
Bravo, Bravo.. Great cover. Pat made it her own. Most covers of this song try to clone the origional. She made it a Pat Benatar interpretation of a classic. Well done...
Emily Bronte would have loved how these versions came out. I was always wonder what Bronte sisters and Jane Austen would have felt knowing how their babys ( works) are loved to this day. Its so sad to me they never got to see what the eons brought to them. Much Appreciation and 💘
How come I am just hearing this in 2022? I had the 8-track in high school. I don’t recall the song. And I love Kate Bush! Pat did an amazing cover of this song wow.
Hearing a cover of a Kate Bush song is just hearing a diluted version of it. But this is a respectable attempt. Pat Benetar is a legend in her own right.
Whenever someone tries to sing it in the original pitch, it tears my eardrums apart. This is the first and only cover of this song that I can stand listening to. It's different in a good way, and it's beautiful. But of course, in no way comparable to the original, because the original is unique in every way. And that's why this singer nailed it, because she did her own thing instead of trying to copy something unique. Great job!
Ksenija Popovic Listen to Angra's cover of this song. I prefer it one thousand times over the original. Their vocalist, André Matos, has actually an amazing vocal range and can sing it smoothly. Also, it has a guitar solo the band executes it perfectly
I bought this album Crimes of Passion when I was around 15. It's straight 🔥 from A-Z. This song stuck out to me as it was the anomalie of the bunch being a cover.. In my opinion it holds it's own with every other track which are today Pat Benetar standards! Glorious voice of one of my favorite Rockers.
Great cover. I love Pat. I saw her live two days after 9/11. She sang the national anthem and it was just her voice piercing the night air in the outdoors. I can’t imagine how many other people not attending her show heard her. it was probably the most powerful and beautiful performance I personally have experienced.
The point about Kate's song is that she's singing as the ghost of Cathy Earnshaw, come to haunt her lover, Heathcliff. It's a "mood piece" I guess. So yeah, the vocals can throw people off if that is their only introduction to Kate Bush's music. But it's by far, a haunting song, and meant to be strange and slightly eerie. It's frickin' Wuthering Heights!
I believe this is the best rendition of the song - if only because I can actually hear the words! Pure notes, clear enunciation of the lyrics. I absolutely love it!
This is my favorite version but again Pat Benatar's voice to me is perfection!! Hers is the best concert I ever attended and I have gone to many concerts.
Yes! She is still brilliant. Her classical training helped her really bring this song to life. I had never heard the original until about 3 years ago. But I heard Pat's cover the year the album came out. To me it's the best version.
@Mark Godfreythat interval to the F# is a beast! Her classical training held her in good stead. I saw a clip of her covering this in 2011. She did it in a lower key which suited her mezzo soprano voice better. I've been listening to and singing with her since I was a preteen in the late seventies. She's a rarity.
Still breaks my heart every time I hear this song. I was 14 the first time I heard it and was unfamiliar with the Bronte story. Although I could not hear well all the lyrics being sung, I was ALTERED by the pathos of Benatar's voice, and by the lyrics my ear COULD translate through my Sony walk-man. A few years later I watched an early movie adaptation and then read the book. I am STILL amazed by how much Benatar's cover of this song imparted about the story, without me knowing "the story".
Did you see the version with Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon? That isn't just an early adaptation, it is the definitive adaptation, even though it cuts out half the book. The sheer passion betwixt Kathy and Heathcliffe leaps off the screen. I first saw it when I was a sixteen-year-old who thought he despised romance stories. I learned I just hated the ones that were poorly told.
@@RighteousBrother Sorry, I became "imprinted" with Pat Benatar's version and it truly makes me feeellll. I have no screel against Kate Bush. I'm going to listen right this next second to Kate Bush live performing this song...
It is incredible that a small body, like hers on this picture, can produce such an enormous power, clarity and emotion in "just" some words. Always liked her, a lot, for her tough elegance.
I've always loved Pat's voice. Of all the great tunes of her's that I loved as a kid, I never would have guessed this would be my favorite Benatar song as an adult.
Why is it that the tiniest of people have the biggest most amazing voices ?. Pat, Ronnie James Dio , etc. A proud and respectfully done cover. Great job ! 👍👏
I just want to say this song was what I listened to as I returned home after being a relief lookout in the mountains as a teenage girl working wildland fires. Love this song!❤
I must admit, till this showed up on my RUclips feed today I wasn't even aware of this cover. Pat Benatar is another grossly underrated singer. She's done a great job here because this can't be an easy song to sing given the high notes Kate Bush hit in the original.
. *Pat gives me chills...* She can do rock, blues, and anything she wants! Love how she held that strong note at the end of "Cathy!!!!!!" 2:28 Thanks for the kind upload!
if you say that Pat gives you chills, then personally not listened to the Kate Bush version because Kate Bush's version is the 1 that gives me the real chills.
@@carlsmith5528 Agreed. I have loved Kate since she started out! It's just nice to hear Pat do something more ethereal than her usual rock standard. She also crossed into blues and that was wonderful too.
I have heard a lot of covers of this Kate Bush song and the thing that separates both Kate and Pat from the others is the pure ease in which they sing the song, while the others struggle. I love Pat Benetar, but Kate gives a more haunting rendition IMO.
Love Pat Benatar! Grew up with her amazing songs and great voice. Was fortunate to see her live in concert here in Toronto....she opened for Cher. Saw 2 amazing singers for the price of one...that night. Simply amazing!!!
Love her singing this, it will always be my favorite version. Kate Bush did a marvelous job writing the song, but her voice is shrill, screechy and unpleasant to my ears. PB's voice is more "real" to me, more relate-able.
I love Pat in the 70s and I admit I was trolling the outer circles of punk and New Wave in NYC in 1981 and yet I still hadn't heard of Kate Bush. If it weren't for my love of this cover, I never would have looked up the original...and TRULY fell in love with this song. Kate bleeds this song, in the best, most heart wrenching and soul soaring way. Much Love Kate, and Pat.
There's a rock band that does a cover of it. at first I thought no way then I heard it and I couldn't believe it...i I forgot their name but it's on RUclips
A few years ago I heard Kate Bush sing this for the first time. I listened to it half a dozen times. I loved the book, and the lyrics were so perfect. But I kept feeling that I’d heard it before, years ago. In my memory, I was standing outside the glass doors of my high school and someone’s radio was playing that chorus. But it was a different voice, not Kate Bush’s. Then I recalled hearing it frequently on various radios, a song about Cathy coming home. Suddenly I understood, I had heard the song but had not yet read Wuthering heights. As a teen, I was just hearing a song about a girl named Cathy who came home. It was Pat Benatar who sang it. It was a good song at the time and I recall feeling quite melancholy whenever it played, and a longing to understand what it meant. It took 35 years but I got there.
I always loved this song by Pat Benatar, and today heard it on the radio... by the original Kate Bush! I had NO IDEA Kate had done this song, I just loved it from Pat's album... and had NO IDEA that its' title was Wuthering Heights! I love this book, and the movies, too, especially the Ralph Finnes version.... wow! what a discovery!
Pat Benatar 4 octave range and a singer . Kate Bush ,pianist ,songwriter , studio owner , producer 4,1/2 -5 octave range , director and the original Lady Gaga all on her own . It seems Pat is a pale imitation . But then are so many others who have covered her song with 3 key changes (OOPS PAT)
this is one of my favorite songs of hers (well her version of it) she puts so much depth and emotion in it, and that note she hits and holds.. freaking goosebumps every time.
Lifelong Kate Bush worshipper. I bought 1 album of Pat's in the 80s when I was like 14? because I loved 'We Belong' and I enjoyed the album. Very few teenagers in the UK would have even heard of Pat Benatar at this time. I'm always a bit sceptical when someone covers Kate. I think her songs are so personal to her it doesn't really make sense for anyone else to do them. However, I'm happy to say I thought this was beautiful and it stands on it's own.
I remember listening to this amazing album back in 1981 - while attending submarine school in the Navy (Groton, Connecticut). Eating burgers and dogs and drinking cold beers with my classmates, pondering the future. Those were good times!
I totally woke up with this song in my head. But for some reason I had the urge to listen to the Pat Benetar version which is the first one I heard. Thanks for posting.
Blessed I was to hear this song from Pat and fall in love with it when she covered it, at that time, I would go find the originals (Ronstadt did this for me with JD Souther and Elvis Costello), and when I was prompted to find Kate for the first time, I knew I had found my number one artist of all time. For years I have sung this song true to kate's version, in her key, but as age has changed my voice, I am grateful again to Pat for letting me feel the transposed (from A to F) key can still bring the song to life.
![Blox Fruits Dragon Rework Update [Full Stream]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/EqDAp8udhm0/mqdefault.jpg)
I could listen to Pat sing the damn phone book and be perfectly happy about it!
No one can deny that Pat did a superb job on this.
My favorite version of this song
Its a wonderful thing when a true artist can sing without autotune!
Pat Benatar and Kate Bush are both up for entry into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year. It would be amazing if they both got in and shared the stage to do this song together!
They both deserve it
I would love to see that!
Pat is long overdue.

I've just realised Pat Benatar did this this is my first listen holy moly
Me too...
There is no substitute for Kate Bush's version but Benatar did it true justice
It was my first hearing of Kate Bush in the US via Pat B.
I never knew Pat Benatar did a remake of this. I love Kate Bush and Pat Benatar. I'm so glad I found this.❤
Side 2 of Crimes of Passion, 3rd song if I remember right.
same
Without Benetar's version, I would have never read "Wuthering Heights", when I was 12/13. I loved Benetar and wanted to understand the song.
Same here! I actually had an 8 track and listened most mornings while getting ready for school when I was 11+
🤗
The book is the greatest love story ever written, Some say its Romeo & Juliette but we should remember they were only 13 years old it was not an adult love.
Kate Bush would say... Mission accomplished'.
Weird, I read Wuthering Heights in…maybe 1980, at the age of 15, because of Kate’s song.
Same here!
I'm a huge fan of Pat Benatar, but this will always be my favorite song from her. Her rendition is just so heartbreaking and powerful. . .
Yep
@Baby Hunn What makes you think she didn't understand? And why wouldn't a ghost keep returning---isn't that what they do?
Crimes of Passion ❤ BRILLIANT album. Stole it off my Mum in the 80s 😅 Bought it on vinyl 4 months ago. Thanks Mum (for my infancy culturing) ❤😊
That and shadows of the night
@@zackfreakley2310your mom rocks.

I heard part of the original from her video not a fan.
I remember this song when I played the cassette tape on repeat over and over in the 80s and I’m still loving it today
Me too!
Me too, on the tape the song switched over to side 2 in the middle of this song.
SO FABULOUS!
How did I just discover this in 2020? This is great!
Me too!! :o
You guys all know this is a cover right?
Me too!!!!!!!!!!!😉✋
I love Pat's cover, but Kate's original is always gonna be a classic, I've loved it forever.
Same
Opera singer.... No wonder it's so good...

Pat's cover is a Great Rock arrangement! It really showcases her vocal range! I love this version! I love Kate Bush as well!
one of the very few covers that is better than the original
David Albert
I hate Kate’s version it’s to weird. Pat’s though is excellent
@@laurapierorazio6280 It really showcases her vocal range. I loved it years ago when Pat's album: 'Crimes of Passion' was released.
i only knew this version and love it. still do. love pat. we have the same birthday
Damn! She hits those highs with authority -- a great cover!
Yes! She sure did! Love Kate Bush but I love this version too!
She was classically trained
Much lower key that Bush's version. I can only sqeuak out Kate's high notes these days; believe me this is much easier to sing!
Pat Benatar should already be in the Rock Hall of Fame.
❤
Wuthering Heights.... Perhaps the most romantic novel ever.... Pat Benetar's voice is exquisite.
Bravo, Bravo.. Great cover. Pat made it her own. Most covers of this song try to clone the origional. She made it a Pat Benatar interpretation of a classic. Well done...
I'm a die hard of Pat Benatar. Her voice is incredible. This song (and book) is so classic and so goooooooood

Guaranteed the best ever. My favourite for almost 40 years. Man I'm old! Still gives me goose bumps.
Hearing a cover of a Kate Bush song is just hearing a diluted version of it. But this is a respectable attempt. Pat Benetar is a legend in her own right.
Pat Benatar was trained in Opera prior to her fame. You can hear that training here.
Rehearsing Puccini and then listening to Gimme Shelter
dream Rae no doubt
Sure can.As well her husband, a great guitarist.
Nooooooo
training in opera cannot emulate the vocals though, pat sounds very generic to the point it sounds computerised instead of unique
Drums are very powerful.
Whenever someone tries to sing it in the original pitch, it tears my eardrums apart. This is the first and only cover of this song that I can stand listening to. It's different in a good way, and it's beautiful.
But of course, in no way comparable to the original, because the original is unique in every way. And that's why this singer nailed it, because she did her own thing instead of trying to copy something unique. Great job!
Ksenija Popovic Listen to Angra's cover of this song. I prefer it one thousand times over the original. Their vocalist, André Matos, has actually an amazing vocal range and can sing it smoothly. Also, it has a guitar solo the band executes it perfectly
Actually Pat Benatar is singing in the same key as Kate Bush. She actually has a good voice which makes it sound more natural.
Spot on Ksenija! Well said; my sentiments exactly.
Good point.
Xenia, condivido 100%
She took this to another level. Love the original, but Pat rocks.
i love pat and she did a hell of a job singing this song it's iconic!!
The difference is Kate created a total work of art with her song, her voice, her performance and Pat made a commercial pop-rock song out of it.
I don't think Pat would agree. She enjoyed covering it and singing it live, which I've witnessed twice in my life.
The guitar rift rocks on this version 2021 👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
@gbjanuary "rocks", but lacks the beauty of the Ian Bairnson original.
I love Kate's original and like Pat's version too. :)
Exactly. Thank you Thomas.
You should listen to angra version too
@@herickhammer Angra!!! 🧡
Thomas - you nailed it
This is the truth.
I bought this album Crimes of Passion when I was around 15. It's straight 🔥 from A-Z. This song stuck out to me as it was the anomalie of the bunch being a cover.. In my opinion it holds it's own with every other track which are today Pat Benetar standards! Glorious voice of one of my favorite Rockers.
What's your favorite Pat Benetar song?
Great cover. I love Pat. I saw her live two days after 9/11. She sang the national anthem and it was just her voice piercing the night air in the outdoors.

Yes! Someone who gets it! Pat is great but Kate WAS Cathy in her version.
Totally agree, and I'm a major Pat fan. But Kate so embodies Cathy that it's the best imo.
greatest female rocker ever. gorgeous and beautiful voice.
A voice from an angel!!! Just Beautiful!!!
I think this is the best version of any artist.
I love Pat's version.
Pat ,I love you ❤️
I think - One of the best cover version of this great song from kate bush.

A magnificent rendition of a haunting and beautiful song
one of her best vocals

This is NOT a cover! Kate Bush's Cover is an ionsult to the original! This is one of the best songs by Pat Benetar!
Sorry Bobby! I love this song but Kate did the original. No American would have EVER attempted to write a song about this. Love both versions.
Read up and you may find Kate wrote it when she was 13 and recorded when she was 17 years old.
One of the BEST concerts I ever got to go to! Pat and Spyder are amazing!
Great version!!Pat has the chops for this!!
This is the best version of this song by far nice going Pat
this is one of my favorite songs of hers (well her version of it) she puts so much depth and emotion in it, and that note she hits and holds.. freaking goosebumps every time.
Lifelong Kate Bush worshipper. I bought 1 album of Pat's in the 80s when I was like 14? because I loved 'We Belong' and I enjoyed the album. Very few teenagers in the UK would have even heard of Pat Benatar at this time. I'm always a bit sceptical when someone covers Kate. I think her songs are so personal to her it doesn't really make sense for anyone else to do them. However, I'm happy to say I thought this was beautiful and it stands on it's own.
first time hearing this cover this is amazinggggg... few people can do this song justice:)
Still my favorite.
Pat Benetar, one of a kind, so appreciate her talent.
Great version of a classic song.
i love this song by Pat Benatar
Great voice, good performance. Thank you Pat Benatar
Beautiful performance of Pat!
Pat Benatar is so awesome
I remember listening to this amazing album back in 1981 - while attending submarine school in the Navy (Groton, Connecticut). Eating burgers and dogs and drinking cold beers with my classmates, pondering the future. Those were good times!
I like this & I like Kate Bush's version ... but Kate is one of the most unique performers ever. There's no reason to compare.
I've been a fan of Pat for ages...love her songs ❤
You can't beat a little bit of Pat, I say you can't beat a little bit of Pat.
I heard for the first time this cover today. Is great!
I totally woke up with this song in my head. But for some reason I had the urge to listen to the Pat Benetar version which is the first one I heard. Thanks for posting.
Blessed I was to hear this song from Pat and fall in love with it when she covered it, at that time, I would go find the originals (Ronstadt did this for me with JD Souther and Elvis Costello), and when I was prompted to find Kate for the first time, I knew I had found my number one artist of all time. For years I have sung this song true to kate's version, in her key, but as age has changed my voice, I am grateful again to Pat for letting me feel the transposed (from A to F) key can still bring the song to life.
Couldn't get this song out of my head today.
it stayed in mine for a month...every day...of course i kept playing it...maybe that's why....
