“Bette Davis Eyes”
Kim Carnes
As I’ve mentioned before, “Bette Davis Eyes” was the best and worst thing to happen in Kim’s career. She had a successful career pre-BDE, with two top ten hits (“Don’t Fall In Love With A Dreamer” with Kenny Rogers, and “More Love”), but BDE was such a phenomenal hit (nine weeks at #1 in the summer of 1981, the second biggest hit of the decade), she was never able to recover from its success. She tried valiantly (her follow-up album Voyeur was a colossal flop, but is my second favorite album of the 80′s and her 83 album Cafe Racers is also splendid), but she would never hit the top ten again.
