I still have a very sharp recollection of my first exposure to her, as a musical act on Saturday Night Live. The song she sang was from her first album, The Kick Inside, which contains a number of songs written when she was 15-16.

Sadly, that version (with Paul Shaffer doing the piano accompaniment) does not seem to be available online. But here is another live version from 1979:

Her sporadic output and idiosyncratic style have probably contributed to her periodic problems with highly dedicated stalkers, most recently about a year ago.
