Lionheart is the second album by Kate Bush. It was first released in late 1978 (see 1978 in music) - just eight months after the singer's successful debut The Kick Inside. Lionheart reached Number 6 on the UK album chart.
The first single taken from the album, "Hammer Horror", missed the UK Top 40; however, the follow-up, "Wow", was a UK Top 20 hit, and became the target of parodies by both impressionist Faith Brown, and comedienne Pamela Stephenson (on the British TV programme Not The Nine O'Clock News).
