Bette Davis Eyes - by Kim Carnes


Bette Davis Eyes
-----------------

by Kim Carnes *
______________________________
* From Wiki entry on Kim Carnes:
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 [in 1981] 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.
