Kim Carnes never set out to be a pop star. In fact, if you asked her in the early days, she'd probably tell you she just wanted to write songs. But life had a way of nudging her toward the spotlight, and before she knew it, she was belting out hits that defined an era. Growing up in Los Angeles, Kim was the kind of kid who could lose herself in a song, spending hours at the piano, crafting melodies. She started as a songwriter, penning tunes for others long before the world ever heard her own husky, unmistakable voice. Her first real break came when she landed a songwriting contract in the late ‘60s. It wasn't long before people started to notice that this young woman wasn't just writing good songs—she had a voice that could make them unforgettable.In the ‘70s, Kim found herself working with some of the best. She teamed up with David Essex. Their friendship led to collaboration. She also became close with Kenny Rogers. Kim co-wrote Don't Fall in Love with a Dreamer with her husband, Dave Ellingson, and when she and Kenny recorded it as a duet in 1980, magic happened. But it was Bette Davis Eyes that changed everything. The song was originally recorded by Jackie DeShannon in the mid-'70s. But when Kim got her hands on it, she and producer Val Garay transformed it into something completely new. The arrangement was stripped down, the synths were bold, and Kim's raw, smoky vocals carried a haunting kind of power."When I first heard Jackie's version, I loved it," Kim says. "But it was so different from what we ended up doing. The minute we started playing around with it, I knew we had something special. That intro, those drums, the way it just pulls you in—I still get chills when I hear it."When Bette Davis Eyes hit the airwaves in 1981, it was like a shockwave. It climbed the charts fast, sitting at No. 1 for nine weeks—longer than any other song that year. It wasn't just a hit; it was THE hit. Even Bette Davis herself loved it, sending Kim flowers and thanking her for the song that made her a household name all over again. "Getting that letter from Bette Davis was surreal," Kim recalls. "She was so gracious, so kind. She told me she played the song at her parties, which just blew my mind."Kim could have ridden that wave forever, but she was never one to rest on past success. She kept writing, kept recording, and kept working with the people she admired. One of those people was Barbra Streisand."Barbra is a force," Kim says. "When we worked together on Make No Mistake, He's Mine, I knew I had to bring my A-game. She has this presence—she knows exactly what she wants, and she'll work until it's perfect. And that's why she's Barbra Streisand."The song felt like a conversation between two women who knew exactly what heartbreak sounded like. Their voices blended in an unexpected way—Barbra's controlled precision meeting Kim's gravelly warmth—and the result was stunning.Through the ‘80s and into the ‘90s, Kim remained a force in the industry, both as a performer and a songwriter. She wrote for some of the biggest artists out there, proving again and again that she had a gift not just for melody, but for telling stories that stuck with people.Fast forward to today, and Kim is still making music, still revisiting the songs that made her who she is. In 2024, she released Bette Davis Eyes (Kim's Version), a new take on her signature song. This wasn't just a rehash—it was a love letter to the original, re-recorded with some of the same musicians who helped shape it the first time around. "I wanted to do it justice," Kim explains. "I wasn't interested in just re-recording it for the sake of it. I wanted to feel that magic again."And the response? Incredible. Looking back, Kim Carnes' career wasn't about chasing fame—it was about making music that mattered. Whether writing for others or stepping up to the microphone herself, she's always been an artist first. And that's exactly why, all these years later, we're still listening.

VINTAGE-FUTURISM STORYTELLER KELLY DECO RELEASES NEW LYRIC VIDEO, “CREATURE DREAMS” FROM HIS LATEST ALBUM CONSTELLATION PRODUCED BY FIVE-TIME GRAMMY WINNER VAL GARAY (LINDA RONSTADT, JAMES TAYLOR, KIM CARNES): SPECIAL EVENT ON INTERVIEWING THE LEGENDS. Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I'm your host Ray Shasho. Steeped in the magic and mystery of an artist's life in the Hollywood movie machinery, vintage-futurism storyteller Kelly Deco moves through space and time with imaginary twists on figures we sometimes see in the sky and know in our hearts. The stars first aligned for Kelly in 1990 when the release of “Big Fish” and the independently produced video for “No Reality” (directed by Wayne White, three-time Emmy award winning designer for Pee-Wee's Playhouse and Peter Gabriel's “Big Time”) became widely publicized. The “No Reality” clip was played on numerous nationwide video programs. In 1991 it garnered national attention; it ultimately charted in Billboard's “Viewers Top Request,” and was the most requested video on Night Tracks. Deco's latest album Constellation was produced by legendary and Grammy award winning music producer Val Garay (Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor, Kim Carnes, etc.) and released through Deko Entertainment.   Val Garay is a legendary producer and engineer who has garnered 5 Grammy wins, over 100 gold and platinum records, an Emmy nomination, and over 125 million worldwide record sales. Val's award-winning work with James Taylor, Kim Carnes, Elton John, The Motels, Bonnie Raitt, Pablo Cruise, Neil Diamond, Ringo Starr, Linda Ronstadt, and more, is just the beginning. The album has eleven brand new songs with standout tracks “Automat Girl”, “David Bowie's Brain”, and the latest single and video “Creature Dreams” As Deco states, "You are from the sky. Do you wonder why?” If you are looking for Retro-futuristic, rock, love, and fantasy. Songs with a mix of old 70s rock and futuristic spins on Bowie, Meatloaf, Anthony Newley, and an eclectic mix, Constellation is the album for you.

Der Kalte Krieg verfestigte sich weiter auf politischer Ebene und auf kultureller Ebene gab es eine kreative Explosion nach der anderen. Wir haben das vor allem an der Musik gemerkt, weil es so viele Songs gibt, die uns bis heute verfolgen. 1981 hatte ei e Menge davon, wie ihr in Folge 20 von Tales of Us selbst feststellen könnt. Auch in der Technik gab es auch viele Milestones in 1981: Die CD, den Sinclair Spectrum ZX81 Heimcomputer, Microsoft brachte MS-DOS in der Version 1.0 an den Start und IBM ließ den ersten IBM-PC auf die Menschheit los. Ronald Reagan wurde Präsident in den USA, Francois Mitterand in Frankreich und Mubarak in Ägypten. Auch aus Hessen gibt es für 1981 Bemerkenswertes zu vermelden: Die Alter Oper wurde wieder eröffnet und der Start des Ausbaus des Frankfurter Flughafens musste durch Polizei und Grenzschutzbeamte geschützt werden. Dies und mehr erfahrt ihr dieses Mal.

Ein Lied über eine Hollywood-Schauspielerin – genauer gesagt über ihre Augen – war 1981 in den USA das beliebteste Lied überhaupt: «Bette Davis Eyes». Seinen Ursprung hat der Song in den 70er-Jahren, die kalifornische Sängerin Kim Carnes machte ihn aber in den 80ern zum verführerischen Überhit.

Hey Scaredy Cats. Welcome back to the month of camp carnage. I know, I know, no one goes to camp in January, but when you're stuck in the frozen tundra that is Ontario in the winter, you gotta do what you gotta do. As a kid growing up in the eighties, slashers were all the rage. Some of the first horror movies I saw were eighties slashers. So, I definitely have a soft spot for them and the more ridiculous the better. When I heard that there was a love letter to the subgenre with a soft marshmallow centre, I knew it was the kind of movie that I needed in my life. Did I mention that I listened to Bette Davis Eyes on repeat back in the day? Ok, so you couldn't exactly listen to something on repeat back then. You had two options. You either made a tape with just that song on it OR you would take a couple of minutes, rewind and play again. But I digress. Let's head to Camp Blue Finch and meet some new camp counsellors and the menacing killer who's going to ruin all the sexy times and fun. It's time to meet THE FINAL GIRLS. I'm your host Sherri and this is just your friendly reminder that as always there will be loads of spoilers, so if you haven't seen the movie, go watch it! Otherwise, proceed at your own risk. Joining us today are Katie and Nick!

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 2, 2023 is: precocious • prih-KOH-shus • adjective Precocious means "having or showing mature qualities at an unusually early age." It can also mean "exceptionally early in development or occurrence." // A precocious musician, he's been performing concerts since the age of seven. // She was a precocious child who could read before she started school. See the entry > Examples: "Songs aside, the musical [Matilda] follows the plot of [Roald] Dahl's book pretty closely, chronicling the life of Matilda Wormwood, a precocious and sweet child who feels misunderstood by everyone both at home and at school." — Emma Dibdin, Town & Country, 17 June 2022 Did you know? Precocious got its start in Latin when the prefix prae-, meaning "ahead of," was combined with the verb coquere, meaning "to cook" or "to ripen." Together, they formed the adjective praecox, which meant "early ripening" or "premature." By the mid-1600s, English speakers had turned praecox into precocious and were using it especially to describe plants that produced blossoms before their leaves came out. Within decades, precocious was also being used to describe humans who developed skills or talents sooner than others typically did. Pop music lovers may recall the lyric "She's precocious!" from "Bette Davis Eyes," although the song itself was something of a late bloomer: originally released in 1974 by Jackie DeShannon (and cowritten by DeShannon and Donna Weiss), it didn't become a hit until Kim Carnes' Grammy Award-winning version was released in 1981.

Chris & Kelsey are self-referential and silly. Don't think too hard about it. The Classic Film: Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990) "The Gremlins are back, and this time, they've taken control of a New York City media mogul's high-tech skyscraper” (IMDb.com). Gremlins 2 was a too-late sequel to a pop culture phenomenon that didn't feel like the original at all. But if you can get over that, it sure is a lot of stupid fun. The Modern Film: The Final Girls (2015) "A young woman grieving the loss of her mother, a famous scream queen from the 1980s, finds herself pulled into the world of her mom's most famous movie. Reunited, the women must fight off the film's maniacal killer” (IMDb.com). The Final Girls is a love letter to—not a takedown of—slasher films from the 80s.

The 1980s were headed into frightening times politically. The threat of war and potential nuclear conflict was pervasive. So naturally music would reflect the times, right? Sure thing....Bette Davis Eyes, Nine To Five (Morning Train), This Ole' House, You Weren't In Love With Me, and Just The Two Of Us were what people were buying – they reflect the times, right? Welcome to episode 96 of See Hear Podcast. Okay, okay.....I loaded up some songs that were the antithesis of the films under question, but just wanted to make a point that what was popular in the mainstream was still a long way from the more edgy music that rock fans were taking joy and catharsis in. While a lot of the new wave of music wasn't necessarily focusing on the fears of the world, its often jittery nature and aggressive sounds surely reflected the state of the world (that's my theory and I'm sticking with it). Tim and Bernie look at a pair of films released in 1981. For the main part, they discuss Urgh! A Music War, a concert film showing the diversity of the “new wave” / post punk bands of the era. How else are you going to find a connection between Klaus Nomi, XTC, Gary Numan and The Cramps? It's a great time capsule of the era showing that musicians didn't choose (at least at first) to play it safe, but still found varying levels of success. They also look at a film more musically focused called Dance Craze – a concert film featuring a range of bands from the British ska revival of the late 70s / early 80s. While any of these bands could have easily fit into Urgh! A Music War, it's great that Dance Craze exists as a companion piece. Later in the show, I speak with director and friend of the show, Skizz Cyzyk about a documentary he's been working off and on for many years called Urgh! Revisited. Acknowledging that there's not much information out there about U!AMW, Skizz has interviewed a range of musicians from the original film about their recollections of the era, and how the film got made. Hopefully, he gets to finish it and put some perspective on a cherished film without much documented history. Our huge thanks to Skizz for joining us.

This week on "The Greatest Song Ever Sung (Poorly)," Adam and Ed reminisce about some fantastic karaoke regions--from Japan and the Phillipines, to New York City, Portland Oregan, Florida and, of course, western Pennsylvania, where they both cut their baby karaoke teeth and became the karaoke-obsessed people they are today. Naturally, the Karaoke Bullpen Trivia Challenge has a place connection, too, as Ed quizes Adam about places in songs. Some of the great karaoke bars mentioned: Winnie's in NYC and Backstreets Sports Bar in Cape Coral, Florida. And, of course, the idea of finally taking this podcast on the road and hitting up some new towns and making some new friends along the way. Speaking of new friends--the guys are then joined by Jennifer Howell of the "Every Rom Com" podcast, who has also done a lot of karaoke in her time--everywhere from Massachusetts to Korea to Portland, Oregon. She shares some of her favorite karaoke places and memories and brings some of her movie love in as well before playing the "Hit Me with Your Best Shot" quickfire game. And, for the first time this season, the show features its guest singing karaoke! As always, you can find more info on the website (https://www.sungpoorly.com), and on social media--the show is @sungpoorly on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and now even Tiktok. You can reach Adam and Ed via email by sending a message to sungpoorly@gmail.com. Theme song: "Gasoline" by Ben Dumm and the Deviants. Make sure to check out Ben's newest music at The Ben Dumm 3.

Bette Davis è considerata una delle più grandi attrici della storia del cinema mondiale per il suo talento unico, il suo carisma e la sua presenza scenica, un mito intramontabile che ha dato vita a personaggi di donne dal carattere forte e deciso. A differenza di molte altre sue colleghe, non ha mai puntato sulla bellezza o il sex appeal, che pure possedeva, ma sulla sua abilità recitativa, tanto da accettare spesso ruoli in cui si doveva invecchiare o imbruttire. Memorabili sono rimaste alcune sue interpretazioni in film come "Che fine ha fatto Baby Jane?", "Piano… piano, dolce Carlotta", "Angeli con la pistola", "Eva contro Eva", "Lo scopone scientifico", per le quali ha ricevuto ben dieci Nomination all'Oscar, vincendone due. Famosissima la sua acerrima rivalità con l'altra grande star dell'epoca, Joan Crawford, rivalità che si dice fosse solamente un'invenzione pubblicitaria delle major cinematografiche, ma della quale ancora si parla oggi. La sua caratteristica fisica più distintiva, gli occhi grandissimi ed espressivi, ha fatto sì che negli anni settanta le venisse dedicata la canzone Bette Davis Eyes, interpretata da Jackie DeShannon, ma portata al successo da Kim Carnes nel 1981.
