Kate Bush and the seances that attempted to contact Harry HoudiniNo one can ever question Kate Bush’s commitment to the mad world of her music. There are many reasons why Kate Bush is a truly singular artist, with number one, and the most obvious, being her voice. Kate Bush with her beloved hounds. On ‘Houdini’, she sings about one of them, and it’s not the famous Harry Houdini, but his wife, Bess Houdini. It went, “Rosabelle – answer – tell – pray answer – look – tell – answer answer – tell”, with Rosabelle being the name of a song Houdini first heard his wife sing, and the code his promise to reach her, even after he was gone.
