A bit early for Christmas time (this was a Christmas Special in 1979)... But so special, any time.
Kate Bush is just pure joy and masterful musicianship, as some say, "a legend in her time" - with the voice of an angel, and a presence and music to match. Another to add to the greatest "Blue" songs, along with Joni Mitchell.
Thank you Mary Poppins!

And… 2/2 - Randy Newman examples
This is the other song praised by Dylan and mentioned in the article. They have a studio version in the article. This is live, just
Randy Newman and his piano. 🎶 🎹 Jazzopen Stuttgart 2006

What has happened down here is the winds have changed
Clouds roll in from the north and it started to rain
Rained real hard and it rained for a real long time
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline
The river rose all day
The river rose all night
Some people got lost in the flood
Some people got away alright
The river have busted through clear down to Plaquemines
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangelne
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tyrin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away
President Coolidge came down in a railroad train
With a little fat man with a note-pad in his hand
The President say, "Little fat man isn't it a shame what the river has done
To this poor crackers land."
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away
Glad I followed a link in that story about Sean Lennon and his favorite Beatles songs, enticed by the click-bait-ish promise of
Bob Dylan broke his usual silence in praising another songwriter. A song-writer's songwriter, and Dylan explains why.
Interesting short article and some samples his work: Randy Newman
