In the June 1991 edition of VOX magazine they have a reader's top 100.Kate appears at the following positions: 44 Wuthering Heights 60 The Kick Inside (album) 75 Hounds Of Love (album) 95 The Dreaming (album) Number 1 incidentally was Bohemian Rhapsody In the May 1991 edition of Record Collector (number 141) they have the latest top 500 collectable artists. Kate is number 11 this year down from 7 last year. Number 1 is (yes you guessed it!!) The Beatles. The 'Simple Truth ' concert for the Kurds was on the tv last night.Peter Gabriel appeared with Sting to do 'Games Without Frontiers' and Sinead O'Connor joined later to do 'Don't Give Up'.To be perfectly honest she murdered the song, I don't think it suits her voice.I was disappointed as I like her music.

Sinead has nothing like Kate's range or control and she was trying to sing parts of it in the key that Kate used with miserable results. We had to immediately play the original version just to purge our ears of that travesty. I think someone here has quoted Sinead from another benefit as saying she couldn't do the part justice. I think Peter Gabriel should take her word for it and stop asking her to. "Don't drive too slowly." Richard Caldwell AT&T Network Systems att!cbnews!nrc nrc@cbnews.att.com
