Bette Davis was an actress-- the definition of a Movie Star-- during the classic days of Hollywood. Look up her picture, and you'll see right away what they mean by "Bette Davis eyes."
You can drown in those eyes. I feel shallow but first time i looked her up, i think it was a picture of her young days, my jaw dropped. Good actress too of course.
Bette Davis admitted to being a fan of the song and approached Carnes and the songwriters to thank them. Davis wrote to Carnes after the song was released, saying she loved the song. "It was a thrill to become a part of the rock generation," she said in her memoir .
Betty Davis eyes ~ Betty was a famous actress who had piercing blue eyes she was a diva before there was diva's !!! Great to see you back brother 👍✌️♥️
Or "What the World needs Now" both great songs...Jackie also sang this song at least 5 years before Kim did her version, it was more of a country-style, even though Jackie wasn't a country singer.
Alannah Myles is soooo underrated. One of the top female voices of rock. I'd also suggest "Song Instead of a Kiss", "Bad for You", and "Rockinghorse" .
Many say her voice is the female version of Rod Stewart. Kim's voice is so unique that out of only 5 women chosen to sing "We Are The World" she was one of them. Now you'll be able to pick her out when you watch it again sometime!! Your SMILE lights up the screen. I sure did miss you, James.
I love this song. So unique. Only Kim Carnes with her sexy rasp could do this song. Monster hit of 1981. It was always on the radio or the jukebox. Thanks for the review.
She does have a a unique full gravely yet smooth voice! By the way, you are definitely looking like your old self. You are looking fresh faced and healthy again!
Remember this song since i was a kid, started to listen to it last year and cant stop, beautiful voice in a good song about the cutest actress i have ever seen.
Bette Davis was an American actress most popular in the 1930's and 1940's, but had a long career. Her eyes were her most prominent feature and distinguished her from other actresses at the time.
Bette Davis was an iconic movie star of the 40s. The Golden Era of movies. She played very strong, powerful female characters. Her eyes were very expressive
Your next challenge should be to watch black and white movies from the late 30's-late 50's and early 60's. There are so many things out there to expand your horizons and take a look at what the world was like back then. Betty Davis is one of the most prolific actors from those times. From a young woman (with HUGE EYES) to an old woman she will make you cry, laugh, and scare you! She was quite the woman. A powerhouse. Strong. She was amazing. RIP Betty!
I was 20 years old when this song was released (in 1981...), the voice of Kim Carnes blew my mind - it still does in 2020...💖 (Kim Carnes has what's referred to as a "Whiskey Voice"...) Google "movie star Bette Davis", and You'll see her beautiful eyes - which is what Kim Carnes is attributing to the person that she's singing about... So happy and utterly thankful that You're feeling better after Your ordeal!💕
Certainly a unique voice! She's one of the artists in We are the world USA for Africa! This was popular in 1981. I danced it at the disco and we'd all the actions. Please check out Kenny Rogers and Kim Carnes... Don't fall in love with a dreamer. Happy New year from Australia x
She is one of my favorite artists. She has so much good music, some songs have been covered by others. Listen to 'Voyeur", "I'll Be Here Where the Heart Is", "More Love", "Tear Me Apart"
Kim has a lot of great songs. "More Love" got some airplay, as did "Crazy in Love". There's a lot more great stuff that didn't get the attention that it should have.
Some more great 80s music...it was the best decade, in my opinion, for so many different types of pop/ synth music and it is so awesome! Great reaction!
She sang in the USA FOR AFRICA video. She also sings a duet with Kenny Rogers called "Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer". This song was a big hit and would love to see your reaction to it.
"Her hair is Harlow gold"...a shout out to Jean Harlow, March 3, 1911 - June 7, 1937, an actress from the 30's who was the original blonde bombshell, sadly she died from renal failure at the age of 26, she often worked with Clark Gable but they weren't romantically involved but he was devastated by the loss.
@Gwen Girtman I am with you on that one! In spite of the old style acting, it remains a relatable story of human nature that is still relevant to this day. Classic!
Good to see you healthy again. You should listen to Somewhere In The Night by her. It's a very pretty ballad done with that raspy voice. It's like a dessert with a little shot of something strong in it.
Ironic..i find watching u react to music very calming. One of the many reason i am gravitated towards you and your videos. Mu friends pop/punk/rock band used to cover this song. Always loved the way they did it.
Betty Davis was huge from the 30's on! She had the most gorgeous huge sexiest eyes n Hollywood back then! And if anyone ever said u had Betty Davis eyes, it has to b one of the best pickup lines EVER!!!!
I always loved Kim Carnes voice, and style! The song is kind of unique also. And you are right about her voice being sooothing. Yet another great reaction!! Lookin' good buddy!!!
Thank you for giving Kim Carnes some exposure, she didn't get the success she deserved because of fact her voice didn't fit with that era. I have loved her voice since the 80s.
There was a Great actress back in the day that was known for her unique eyes.Google search photos of young Bette Davis photos and you will completely understand
You might enjoy Laura Branigan "Self Control" (Betty Davis) was a famous actress who played up her blue eyes and was always witty, smart, sassy in her roles and often would also a man if he ticked her off, which is why there is the whole slapping thing going on in this video) Hope the rest of your night is relaxing.
Maybe the best song I know for many many years !!! And the Kim Carne's voice in just unique. Impossible to explain or to compare with huggly Bonnie Tyler, who was so much vulgar. I quite agree with you JBLETHAL : there is a kind of spiritual presence in her voice. I listened to all her records, that I did love very much, thans to this so particular voice. She composed many great other songs, no very know enough. I like her all career.
Hey glad your feeling better. You should do some Shinedown there speak to your heart. Next to Queen their my favorite band. Start out with Simple Man” “45” Follow Me” they will surprise you. 🔥🔥🔥
Enjoy your reactions to old school classic sings. You should review the 1977 song by Eruption - I can't stand the Rain. Precious Wilson's voice is amazing.
Bonnie Tyler has a similar voice to Kim Carnes. Listen to Tyler's "It's a heartache". They have practically the same rasp in their voices, which made both singers sound mysterious. Back in the days videos were not available, especially in countries like mine, where English is a third language.
You should also react to Bonnie Tyler, Total Eclipse of the Heart. And also Alannah Myles, Black Velvet. Both from the same general era, and with interesting vocals.
This recommendation won't be popular because its old school folk, but Joan Baez had one of the most beautiful and moving voices ever (she still sings but her voice isnt what it used to be). Try UA-cam Joan Baez full concert 1965 With God on our Side at 26 min.
If you like Kim's voice, check out these other great songs by Carnes; More Love Does It Make You Remember Looker Invisible Hands Draw of the Cards You won't be disappointed 🙂👍

It must have been amazing for Kim to be contacted by Betty Davis!
Betty Davis eyes ~ Betty was a famous actress who had piercing blue eyes she was a diva before there was diva's !!! Great to see you back brother 👍✌️♥️
I love her voice I’m a big fan of raspy sounding voices. 💕
Great to see you Healthy, with a smile on your face and a sparkle in your eye, put 2020 in the rear view mirror and charge into 2021
Also don't forget to check out Tina Turner "We Don't Need Another Hero" from 1985.
Singer-songwriter Jackie Deshannon wrote this song. You should check out her classic "Put a Little Love in Your Heart".
Or "What the World needs Now" both great songs...Jackie also sang this song at least 5 years before Kim did her version, it was more of a country-style, even though Jackie wasn't a country singer.
That song is good too. The original sounds good, as does the cover by Annie Lennox and Al Green from the "Scrooged" soundtrack in 1988.
By the way, did you recognize her in that song for Africa where she sang right after Cindy Lauper?
If you haven't heard "Black Velvet" by Alannah Myles yet, I would highly recommend it. It is a similar type song with a raspy singer as well.
I love that song!
Alannah Myles is soooo underrated. One of the top female voices of rock. I'd also suggest "Song Instead of a Kiss", "Bad for You", and "Rockinghorse" .
@@sabrinasiler1569 me too Sabrina 😃. Happy New Year to you sweetie
Happy New Year!
I was going to recommend the same thing.
Her voice is like Bonnie Tyler, Rod Stewart, etc.
The joy that music brings you is written all over your face. I love it.
Bette is my all time favorite actor. Her eyes were so incredible and could convey sooo much with just a look. Love this one.
Many say her voice is the female version of Rod Stewart. Kim's voice is so unique that out of only 5 women chosen to sing "We Are The World" she was one of them. Now you'll be able to pick her out when you watch it again sometime!! Your SMILE lights up the screen. I sure did miss you, James.
I love this song. So unique. Only Kim Carnes with her sexy rasp could do this song. Monster hit of 1981. It was always on the radio or the jukebox. Thanks for the review.
This was a song from my childhood that I never forgot. So so good. Bette Davis was the definition of "movie star".. and uniquely beautiful.
Listen to Kim Carnes, Kenny Rogers and James Ingram “what about me” promise you won’t be disappointed ☺️
She does have a a unique full gravely yet smooth voice!
By the way, you are definitely looking like your old self. You are looking fresh faced and healthy again!
Remember this song since i was a kid, started to listen to it last year and cant stop, beautiful voice in a good song about the cutest actress i have ever seen.
You got a good heart man. Best to you
The female Rod Stewart 😂😁😆
This is a great song, never get tired of hearing this one ❣️
Madonna also references Bette Davis in Vogue: "Bette Davis, we love you".
Kim Carnes! PLEASE do "More Love" by her, its her BEST imho, very different style than this one. Thx again for the music
I'd add "Divided Hearts" and "Does it Make you Remember?" to that list.
Bette Davis was an American actress most popular in the 1930's and 1940's, but had a long career. Her eyes were her most prominent feature and distinguished her from other actresses at the time.
This song is the perfect combination of a great music and a charming voice,....

This is one of my most favourite hits!!
For those who don't know - Bette Davis is an iconic actress who made 100 films from the 1930's to the 1980's
Her first major movie, “Of Human Bondage” 1934. Should watch it.
@Gwen Girtman I am with you on that one! In spite of the old style acting, it remains a relatable story of human nature that is still relevant to this day. Classic!

In a song by Dire Straits called Industrial Disease, Mark Knopfler mentions Betty Davis Knees.

Listing from Bondi Beach Sydney Australia 😃
So in love with you, especially that voice❤️
There was a Great actress back in the day that was known for her unique eyes.Google search photos of young Bette Davis photos and you will completely understand
One of my favorite pop songs from the 1970s.
Good song James, you take care guy. 😘😘😘
Check out her song More Love. It’s a remake of a Smokey Robinson song and she crushes it.
You might enjoy Laura Branigan "Self Control" (Betty Davis) was a famous actress who played up her blue eyes and was always witty, smart, sassy in her roles and often would also a man if he ticked her off, which is why there is the whole slapping thing going on in this video) Hope the rest of your night is relaxing.

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow sang this song in the movie "Duets".
Bette Davies... the epitomy of a classic Hollywood-diva! Check out "All about Eve".
Who else misses MTV????
@Ken Patton 100%!!!
Boy I used to love watching some cuties at the bar sing this in Karaoke back in the day.
Hey glad your feeling better. You should do some Shinedown there speak to your heart. Next to Queen their my favorite band. Start out with Simple Man” “45” Follow Me” they will surprise you. 🔥🔥🔥
Here in Brazil listening to this song, i love it.
I don't speak english very well , excuse me for something wrong.
I hope you can find some time to watch some Bette Davis movies, she was an excellent actress.

The Show Must Go On
I agree, my friend. Her rasp rules!
Enjoy your reactions to old school classic sings. You should review the 1977 song by Eruption - I can't stand the Rain. Precious Wilson's voice is amazing.
Please react to REM / "Man On The Moon". Thanks James. 🙏
He definitely needs to get back to some REM :)
I love rem , I’ll definitely get back to some rem
JBLETHAL TV
Fantastic, they have dozens of incredible songs. ✌️
Bonnie Tyler has a similar voice to Kim Carnes. Listen to Tyler's "It's a heartache". They have practically the same rasp in their voices, which made both singers sound mysterious. Back in the days videos were not available, especially in countries like mine, where English is a third language.
Kim Carnes does a really good version of the Frankie Miller song "When I'm Away From You". You might enjoy it.
I hope you found out who Bette was by now and listened to the song again. Bette is a legend!
You should also react to Bonnie Tyler, Total Eclipse of the Heart. And also Alannah Myles, Black Velvet. Both from the same general era, and with interesting vocals.
This recommendation won't be popular because its old school folk, but Joan Baez had one of the most beautiful and moving voices ever (she still sings but her voice isnt what it used to be). Try UA-cam Joan Baez full concert 1965 With God on our Side at 26 min.

You won't be disappointed 🙂👍
Bette Davis was famous for her beautiful eye's.
One of the coaches on The Voice said singers either have that grit in their voice or they don’t. It’s not something you can teach. 😊🎙🤩
One of my favorite lines in a movie was uttered by Bette: ua-cam.com/video/YTa3rnWDoEs/v-deo.html
Notice her one black glove she was wearing in 1981? Michael Jackson started wearing his one white glove in 1983.
She also references Jean Harlow and Greta Garbo in the song. Jean died young, at 26, and Greta just wanted to be alone.
You might try some Tony Carey. Fine fine day was extremely popular but he had hits with First day of summer and I won't be home tonight
Do you by chance recognize her from the We are the World video?The great Kim Carnes.My favorite song by her
Have you done American Pie?
There's another version of the video which is full of video clips of Bette Davis. Yeah, Bette Davis eyes are something more than just "beautiful."
She's got betty davis eyes
