Bette Davis Eyes
 
Has anyone else noticed how this song sounds like Stevie's. The vocals are raspy and the lyrics have refrences to Greta Garbo... Pretty interesting, don't you think? :wavey:

I don't hear it...Kim Carnes sounds more like Rod Stewart on helium, to me.

I'm not saying their voices sound the same. But they are both certainly "weathered" voices.

Rod Stewart on Helium...that's good

Kim Carnes does have that sort of smoked too many butts, drank too many whiskeys, raspy, harsh ,wish I could really sing...voice...quality about it don't cha think??
Reminds me of Lucinda Williams, in a way
Just me but thaks for the Rod chuckle :nod:

Lucinda Williams sounds like Kim Carnes - holding her nose! I love Lucinda, in small doses. :nod:

Kim Carnes did USA for Africa with Lindsey. If she really sounded like Stevie he might have avoided it at the time. ;)

I rember when they played this song at radios (1980?), they said Kim was the "female Rod Stewart"

Stevie's voice is much more appealing to my ears though.

I love her in huge doses. She's 4th on my list of favorites behind Stevie, Dolly, and Maria McKee.

Lucinda is incredible. I really should buy more of her stuff - I only have her latest.

The funny thing is that some people actually think Stevie sings Betty Davis Eyes. I went to download it once and it said Stevie Nicks - Betty David Eyes lol!

I think Essence is her best. She also has a new live CD out which is really great.

Lucinda beat out Stevie on her last Grammy Nom... Think it was for Planets....

I was always waiting for Weird Al to do a parody of this song called
"Marty Feldman Eyes."
