~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gene Cotton (born June 30, 1944 in Columbus, Ohio) is a pop and folk singer-songwriter. He is best known for his four Billboard Top 40 entries during the years 1976--1978.Cotton has been a resident of Leiper's Fork, Tennessee since the late 1970s. In recent years, Cotton has scaled back his career as a singer and songwriter and spent much of his savings on a legal battle against the construction of a state highway (State Route 840) which would surround Nashville. Cotton, the father of two adopted children and one biological child, has devoted himself to helping the underprivileged of his area by motivating them in their studies and activities through a program called Kids On Stage (KOS). KOS brings in Nashville artists to run summer classes that open the doors to the arts to kids who might otherwise never see greatness or think about greatness in their arts. Most notably, Grammy Award winner Michael McDonald has performed numerous times to bring awareness and raise donations for this program under Cotton's leadership, besides producing independent films about the plight of the poor around the world.
Cotton was instrumental in 1980s pop singer Michael Johnson's career.
In 2001, Cotton lost a race for a seat in the Tennessee House of Representatives to Republican Glen Casada. Casada won 3,185 votes to Cotton's 1,554 in a special election in which only 13 percent of registered voters cast ballots. Both Casada and Cotton campaigned on strong opposition to proposals for a state income tax.
Kim Carnes (born 20 July 1945 Hollywood, California) is an US singer-songwriter.[1] She is a two-time Grammy Award winner noted for her distinctive raspy vocal style.
In 1981, Carnes recorded the Jackie DeShannon and Donna Weiss song "Bette Davis Eyes". As the first single released from the album Mistaken Identity, it spent nine weeks at number one on the US singles charts and became a worldwide hit. The song's success propelled the album to No. 1 for four weeks. The single became the biggest hit of the entire year of 1981, and is second only to Olivia Newton-John's "Physical" as the biggest hit of the 1980s in the USA, according to Billboard. The song earned both the Record of the Year and Song of the Year awards at the 1982 Grammys. Carnes was nominated for Best Pop Female and Mistaken Identity also earned a nomination for Album of the Year. Two follow-up singles from Mistaken Identity, "Draw of the Cards" and the title track, were both released during 1981.
"Bette Davis Eyes" was written by Jackie DeShannon and Donna Weiss in 1974. Carnes and her band rehearsed the song in the studio for three days to take the melody and overall sound of the record to a darker, more haunting place. Keyboard player Bill Cuomo came up with the signature instrumental lick and together with the band and producer Val Garay created a completely new arrangement of the song, which was recorded live the next day with no overdubs.
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 'This 'N That.' Davis' grandson, Ashley, told the screen legend she had "finally made it". Carnes and Davis struck up a special friendship, with the singer visiting her at her home several times until her 1989 death. In what she considers a career highlight, Carnes performed the song live for Davis at a tribute to the legendary actress held just before her death. Most recently, the song has been used in a Clairol Nice 'n Easy advertisement in the UK. The ad featuring the song has expanded into South Africa and other territories around the world. In 2008, the song was featured in the opening scene of the documentary film, Valentino: The Last Emperor.
I was born 1974, it's 2024 and I'm listening to this song.
I was driving with my mother when I first heard this song on the radio. My mom loved this and said this song should be on her spotify. However, after several songs played, we forgot it.
Now, my mom just died three weeks ago, and it was played again on the radio while im driving. Finally remembered the title of the song. And it breaks my heart. I miss my mom. Hope that you could hear this again in heaven.
Sorry for your loss sister..
😢
yeaahhh!!
Your 🎵taste rocks
From 1978 to 2024...

Kim Carnes & Gene Cotton -- “ You're A Part Of Me ” The Lyrics （ 1975 --- 1978 ）
.
I'd like to live out all my dreams
And if I could, yes, if I could
The nicest one would be with you, and you'd be here with me
Don't you ever get lonely ?
Lord, I'm no good when you're away
But what do you expect from a girl
Who loves you like I love you ?
Won't you ever just get tired and come on home to me ?
Don't you ever get lonely ?
You're a part of me that I can't do without
You're a part of me that dreams are all about
But you can't hold on to something that you've never had before
Love waits for the wind to bring you back again
And take me away (take me away)
Take me away (take me away)
Friends say, "It's great now you're a star"
But what do they expect from a girl
Who loved you just the way you were ?
And late at night, I wish things had never changed
And you were here with me
Don't you ever get lonely ?
You're a part of me that I can't do without
You're a part of me that dreams are all about
But you can't hold on to something that you've never had before
Love waits for the wind to bring you back again
And take me away (take me away)
And take me away (take me away)
Oh, honey, I love you (take me away)
Yeah, honey, I love you (take me away)
Now take me away (take me away)
Honey, I love you (take me away)
Take me away (take me away)

Kim Carnes & Gene Cotton -- “ 你是我的一部分 ” The Lyrics （ 1975 年 --- 1978 年 ）
.
我想实现我所有的梦想
如果可以的话，是的，如果可以的话
最美好的事就是和你在一起，你会和我在一起
你永远不会感到孤独吗 ？
上帝，当你不在的时候，我一点用都没有
但是你对一个像我一样爱你的女孩
有什么期望 ？
你不会累了就回家找我吗 ？
你永远不会感到孤独吗 ？
你是我生命中不可或缺的一部分
你是我生命中梦想的一部分
但你无法抓住从未拥有过的东西
爱情等待风将你带回来
带我走（带我走）
带我走（带我走）
朋友们说：“你现在是个明星，这太好了。”
但是他们对一个
一直爱你的女孩有什么期望 ？
深夜里，我希望一切都没有改变
而你就在我身边
你从不感到孤独吗 ？
你是我生命中不可或缺的一部分
你是我生命中梦想的一部分
但你无法抓住从未拥有过的东西
爱情等待风将你带回来
带我走（带我走）
带我走（带我走）
哦，亲爱的，我爱你（带我走）
是的，亲爱的，我爱你（带我走）
现在带我走（带我走）
亲爱的，我爱你（带我走）
带我走（带我走）

@@joelabugan4854 Yeah those too. But they don't give me chills the way this one does- when they break into that final chorus. You had to know what I was going through then. Things people can drive you to almost do. Chills.

Rob Hegel (Tommy Judy & Me) brought this song to RCA suggesting this could be his next single, but they didn't go for it. Instead, Gene and Kim released it and it became a hit.
Did you write this?
@@rodneyrodriguez3676 no, Rob told me that's what happened
A lot of us like myself pay to come here and listen to the music and not to see advertising and people desperate for attention by sticking crap in front of a song
Gene sang like a Britisher, when he dropped his r's, after the vowel sounds. Kin did, too.
February 23, 1978 - June 15, 2035

I don't know if I have ever encountered a lyric video that did not have an error. The error in this one is at the 2:05 mark where the last word of the sentence should be "were" and not "are".
2021?
I'm sorry that when Kim re-released this song on her "Greatest Hits" album she chose to sing the duet with someone else... She and Gene were wonderful on this.
is this the orig version?or anne murray?
