Kylie Minogue has covered Kim Carnes’ 1981 hit single “Bette Davis Eyes” for BBC Radio 2′s Sounds of the 80s show. Kylie’s vocal performance is a bit nasally at times, but I can certainly overlook that! I live for a good cover song, so this is right up my alley! Kim Carnes released her take on the song, which was originally written in 1974 by Donna Weiss and Jackie DeShannon, back in 1981. The track would go on to win two Grammy Awards for the singer the following year: Record of the Year and Song of the Year.
