Kim Carnes - "Bette Davis Eyes"

Kim Carnes - "Bette Davis Eyes": "If you really listen to the track, it's pretty clear how thin and raspy Kim's voice is, but yet this song makes her sound strong and bold. The real magic moment here is in the song's video, where the 80s club kids that Kim seems to hold court over lift their arms over their heads to firmly - but listlessly - match the handclaps in the song...despite the fact that they're synth handclaps, not real ones. Also: Madonna's empty roll-call of the ladies of Hollywood's golden age in 'Vogue' can't hold a candle to Kim's similar invocation here - which actually references many of the same women, just more effectively."
