Bette Davis is considered one of the greatest actresses of all time !
Dagger to my heart when she said “gotta find out who Bette Davis is”
Me too !
Same here....
That just killed me. I truly thought everyone in the world must know who Bette Davis is. Yeah-I’m old. I want to ask my kids if they know now.
Out of the mouth of Babes - OMG
Right there with you pal.
Betty Davis was one of the greatest actresses we've ever had especially in the 1930s and 40s 1950 all about Eve was probably her high point she took roles of other women were afraid to take on she was a kick-ass lady who fought for her rights and women's rights and she didn't give a damn what anybody thought and she had the best biggest most beautiful eyes in the movies ever
Bette Davis with an "e" is the great actress. Betty Davis with a "y" is actually a funk singer, best known for her song "If I'm In Luck" and for being married to Jazz great Miles Davis at one time, for about a year, and being influential on his music during that year. Betty Davis, the singer, retired from music in 1979, and isn't remembered as much today, but she was controversial in the 1970s for singing too many sexual kinds of songs. This year, (2019) Betty Davis, the singer, came out of retirement to release her first new song in 40 years, called "A Little Bit Hot Tonight." So when speaking of the actress we should remember she spelled it with an "e," while the singer used a "y."
Sweet sweet Charlotte.
“We’ll have to find out who Bette Davis is.” Ha, ha, ha. Damn, I’m old.
I was thinking the same thing. Lol
Now I feel old lol
I've known since early childhood who she was, even having not seen any of her films. I figured it's just something everyone knows? 😂
Now I only feel a little old. Lol.
India I your videos. Since my daughter moved out your videos are like having a friend over to listen to music and hangout.
I just typed the same thing then read this.
"I'd like to kiss you but I just washed my hair." THAT Bette Davis.
But ya are Blanche ya are in that chair. 😁 I loved What Ever Happened To Baby Jane.
What a Dump! That Bette Davis
@@maxpolaris99 "Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy night." (Said at the start of a party, by the way.)
"Oh Jerry, don't let's ask for the moon. We have the stars."
Indeed yes, _that_ Bette Davis.
@@Marcus-Oh-really-yes The one that blew me away was Barbara Stanwyck. I saw her as a fine looking older woman in The Big Valley. Then one day I saw her in a pre censorship movie when she was young. OMG! She was stunning back in the 30s.
You got that right, Bette Davis had a lot of sass, in one movie, her character walks into a fancy mansion, she looks around and says to her companion "What a dump!"
😂😂😂 yes!
Kim Carnes is the female Rod Stewart as for as her voice goes. I love it.
As well as that Beautiful Welsh..Bonnie Tyler.
I dont know anything else she did
@@special420player Yes, basically a one hit wonder but she did have a top 5 hit with Kenny Rogers "Don't Fall In love With A Dreamer".
@@Suve35967 Loved "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" by Bonnie.
Serious question, though-is there something wrong with her vocal chords giving her that thick rasp?
Bette Davis had the biggest, most beautiful "come hither" eyes.
Or " I can kick ur ass" eyes! 😍 She was a GODDESS! Such an original & tuff as nails!
A beautiful woman, inside and out. Google it lol.
Big pretty eyes.
“Fasten your seatbelts. It’s going to be a bumpy night.” - one of the great Bette Davis quotes (and one of the great movie quotes of all time) from "All About Eve" (1950). A perfect example of the type of woman she played in her movies.
I have watched that movie about ten times and never grow tire of it. Smart dialog and awesome acting
OMG!! Bette Davis was one of the greatest actresses of all time. Multiple Oscar winner 😃
She's singing about some contemporary woman who has the "IT FACTOR" so much she has Jean Harlow's hair {"Harlow Gold}, Greta Garbo's standoffish sighs, and of course she has the WORLD FAMOUS Bette Davis eyes......She's a Diva.
Bettie Davis created the word DIVA
MrRondonmon I LOVE your description! ❤️
When you said we have to find out who Bette Davis is...I almost couldn’t breathe! You are really missing out. She is my all time favorite actress.
Hollywood royalty, one of the greats.
Northern Snowbird such a Shane she didn’t know
Bette Davis, Jean Harlow, Greta Garbo all big stars of the 30s and on.
Don't forget Kate Hepburn
@@maxpolaris99 Harlow and Garbo are mentioned in the Lyrics, that is what Liz is referencing I think. My Fav. 30's and 40's actress was Jean Arthur, Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, Shane etc. etc.
Yes yes and yes !!!!
My granddaughter is named after Jean Harlow “HARLOW”
@Dahoss Yes, I was supposed to pick up some movies on a date in like 91 at a Video Store {VHS} and she wanted Back to the Future, and I choose Mr. Smith Goes to Washington & Captains Courageous and she was like, Black and White movies? Then when she found out they were both from the 30's she was like "you are old school", and I told her you will like these better than the BTTF movie and she was like Naaaaa.
Well, she admitted that the older movies were much better and I guess she thought I was a keeper because we still watch those old movies to this day.....
Bette Davis was an amazing actress. You should definitely watch her movie with Joan Crawford, "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane"
@Dahoss My first movie of hers was What Ever Happened To Baby Jane and she blew me away.
Trust me, you want to know who Bette Davis was, one of the best actresses ever. Many great movies.
Bette Davis was an iconic movie star. Also mentioned was "Her hair was Harlow gold"... Which was a reference to another classic movie icon, Jean Harlow, who had platinum blonde hair.
Apparently, I had read, back in the day, it was one helluva concoction to get Harlow's particular shade of platinum
Back then, there was no dye on the market that could make one’s hair as white-hot as Harlow’s. Her personal hairdresser, Alfred Pagano, revealed the secret decades later, saying, “We used peroxide, ammonia, Clorox, and Lux flakes. Can you believe that?”
www.thevintagenews.com/2018/06/12/jean-harlow/
Check out the movie “ Whatever happened to Baby Jane”( obviously the one starring Bette Davis). IMO her best movie, creepy but great
@@KJ-nd6jl I prefer her in "Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte," but to each their own
@@lisamurdock6679 that’s a good one too
Betty Davis was a great American actress of her time. Love her movies even now. She knew how to stand her ground.
Her name is spelled Bette.
omg....I remember this song. It was a huge hit on the charts back in the day. Kim Carnes has such a unique, rough voice. Great choice. Thanks for sharing.
Love the first line in the song- “Her hair is Harlow gold”, referring to Jean Harlow.
Hmmm - - and for the last 30 years I thought it was "Hollow gold." (yeah, Harlow makes more sense !)
you2099 LOL! It does sound like hollow gold when you listen to it. There are a lot of songs that have lyric Attention Deficit Disorder when you hear them including myself.
@@you2449 Yeah, man, me too. And, yeah, it makes perfect sense now...
Greta Garbo's stand off sigh! I want to be alone! Another beauty.
John Monastirli Yes!
One of the best all-time classic movies starring Bette Davis - "All About Eve"
simply a perfect film.
Betty Davis was wicked back in her day but a great actress
That was more Joan Crawford. She was the wicked one.
You must do your research. Bette Davis was a good soul.
@@chrisnagle2902 I meant in her movies she played mean roles and did them well.
Bette Davis was one of America's greatest actresses. She had piercing eyes.
Bette Davis was famous for her eyes and she was a brilliant actress in the 30's- early 80's. She was ( she passed in 1989) and still is considered a Hollywood legend!
All About Eve
The Little Foxes
Now Voyager
Jezebel
Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte
Whatever Happened to Baby Jane
Anyway, I've heard that Bette sent Kim Carnes flowers when she first heard this song! Don't know if that's true, but it makes for a good story for sure!
LOVED this song, it's another one I wore out on my record player!
Per Wikipedia:
Actress Bette Davis, at the time 73 years old, wrote letters to Carnes, Weiss, and DeShannon to thank all three of them for making her "a part of modern times," and said her grandson now looked up to her. After their Grammy wins, Davis sent them roses as well.
The story is true. When BDE hit #1, Bette sent Kim a dozen roses and a note that said "Thank you for making me relevant again".
Bette Davis was one of the ICONIC Hollywood movie stars of the 1930-1950's. And she was also well known for her large eyes.
"Bette Davis is an actor?" Damn... I feel so old and even when I was a kid Bette Davis was already an old lady.
Look my young friends we all age and die it might be a smart thing to look back past your own time ... Thars gold up in them thar hills !
Wow - another 80's classic. I remember when this got some heavy air play on the radio. Betty Davis Eyesssssss.... famous actress way back in the 30's - 40's
Kenny Rogers did a duo with Kim "Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer " you should listen to it .:)
Pamela Morgan oh yeah I remember that , I’m gonna listen to that next
Lol I keep suggesting it. No one will do it. Hopefully soon
One of Kenny's greatest duets in my opinion.
I love that song! Haven't listened to it years.
Pamela Morgan dont forget Time after Time with Kenny Rogers & james Ingram!
There was a time when this was the biggest single ever - it beat “You light up my life” by Debbie Boone
Source ???......all sales lists I found from bill board, RIAA, Wiki, it's not even top 30 in sales....Bing Crosby sold over 50 million of "White Christmas" mungo jerry has 30 million for "in the summertime, Bings "silent night" has 30 million,, Bill haley "rock around the clock" has 30 million....Elvis "it's now or never" has 20 million....Beatles, Olivia newton john, bee gees all have massive singles.
what are Carnes numbers again??
TANTRUMGASM i was referring to weeks at number 1. Jeez, you sound like one of those StarTrek nerds who gets upset because the warp drive in episode 11 is different than episode 17. Source - being alive when it happened and listening to Kasey Kassem count it down on American Top 40. Go get a life! Seriously
@@rileyandmike ..ahh weeks at number 1,..meaning it was the top seller at the moment , against only the other bands at that moment..I see..so it is based on how long you outsell others..........I thought you wrote "Biggest Single EVER"...which is completely different.( an artist would much rather sell 20 million copies, and maybe hit #5 on a chart,than sell only 5 million, and hit #1)...... not really a star trek nerd..More of a music nerd. 35 Awesome years in the Music Industry will do that to person... .BTW...Carnes isnt the original artist for this song, here is the original keep reaching for the stars !!..Cheers!!
czcams.com/video/FAQsOJbs-yo/video.html
I remember. It was number one for 9 weeks. Physical by Olivia Newton John beat that record later I believe with 10 weeks. Not long after that music started sucking and I stopped paying attention. 🙂
@Philo Jones In the UK, 18 non-consecutive weeks- in US it
went to #2 for 3 weeks.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Believe_(Frankie_Laine_song)
For a freak out start with What Ever Happened to Baby Jane and then work back through her movies. Great actress.
Agree.. even older she was the best actress.. when I was a kid this movie scared me.. she was scary.
Bette Davis is a legend! Check her out in "All About Eve"....
Scarlett O'Hara my favorite is Now Voyager
Check out Dark Victory.
@Dahoss WHOA NELLY!!!
She was so underrated!
Love this song!
Bette Davis was a 1940s 1950s sex symbol.
She was never considered a sex symbol in Hollywood. Directors actually insulted her sex appeal. But she played very intense and fiery characters, and she had those eyes, so...
Famous actress with bug eyes real pretty when she was younger
Hi India, Betty Davis was a legendary actor. This song was played over and over and over and over again in 1981. A time when life was so much fun. It spent 9 weeks at #1 on Billboards hot 100's...
realdeal
I’m a sucker for the raspy voice
This song got lots of radio play in 81' & on MTV,..the year prior - she covered Smokey Robinsons " More Love"- worth listening too .
Please do "More Love" by Kim Carnes - her cover of this song (originally released by Smokey Robinson) was amazing.
Smoky was so impressed that he wrote "Being With You" for her but his management thought it would be a needed hit for him...
Huge hit when I was a kid and this video was all over MTV. Kim was so big at the time that she was part of the "We Are The World" video with all the other singing stars.
These vids bring back so much of my past! I truly dig this channel! The talents you haven’t heard! It is mind blowing for you, as it was for me in the 70’s listening to the 50’s tunes!
80's - a miracle of a million fantastic songs. Best decade ever. Period.
Yes!! Love this channel
This is the first video I ever saw on MTV. When they played music.
Love this song, Kim had a great voice.
THANK U INDIA U R FRESH BREATH OF AIR GREAT PLAYLIST
Ooh, Kim Carnes, you ARE diversifying !
This was the lead track from the album "Mistaken Identity" by Kim.
There's plenty of great tracks to discover on that one if you fancy a trip down a rabbit hole that no other reactor will have been down.
Keep up the good work lass...
Bette Davis, my mother's favorite actress. Mom always had time for us unless there was a Bette Davis movie on T.V. :)
Back in the day nearly wore the cassette out. Also a great video. Written by Jackie DeShanon one of 1st female R& R singer songwriters from the 1960s. Wrote amongst many others -What the World Needs Now is love sweet love.
Betty Davis was a famous actress starting in the 30s. She's done many classics films. Check out some of her movies.
In the 80s Kim was one of so many good artists, sometimes I forget about her. She had quite a few good hits. Great reaction!
The song was written by Jackie DeShannin and Donna Weiss. Jackie’s an accomplished writer but her most famous song was “What the World Needs Now is Love”, written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. She sang “Put a little Love in Your Heart” which was a hit for her and later, for Annie Lennox and Al Green. Besides writing Bette Davis Eyes for Kim Carnes, she wrote When you Walk into a Room for The Searchers.
I just love you!! You are hilarious!
Bette Davis... her eyes knocked me out..still knock me out.The greatest of Hollywood's femme fatales of Golden Age Hollywood. Thx for posting, brought back some memries. now go check out a few movies...they hold up and they're free now. "oh, but...fasten your seat-belt. You're in for a bumby ride"
Kim Carnes is gold man. I am 32 and i discovered her music when i was like 17 or 18 and her voice just mesmerized me and been a fan since then.
One of the greatest songs of all time by Kim Carnes very classic and of course dedicated to the greatest actress in movie history a true icon Bette Davis excellent india by the way this song was included in a scene from the 1984 venezuelan movie Macho y Hembra starring Orlando Urdaneta and Elba Escobar😎👍
This song was number one back in 81 and Betty Davis was the top actress of her day!
Betty Davis was a Movie Star back when stars were true stars. She had one of the most famous feud in the history of Hollywood with actress Joan Crawford. Their fude was a legendary rivalry.
Well thanks to react to this song! Fan over here... obviously haha
Betty Davis, arguably the first "pin-up" girl...and great actress.
Delightfullydemented65 the ORIGINAL pin up girl.
You both need to Google 'Mary Pickford!'
BD was good, but she wasn't the first pinup......by decades!
@@jamespasifull I shoulda remembered her...I'm fairly-versed in "Black and White" Cinema (lower your hackles SJW and "racial warriors." I'm speaking of B n W TV and movies mortards). One of my favorite periods in history. I've always liked the "look" and style women had then. Great stuff...
@@drew65sep
My daughter's a real fan, to the point of buying up handwritten letters, & personal artefacts, previously owned by b&w movie stars, & even some original cine film of them in action, & at play!
@@jamespasifull that's a pretty cool hobby to have collecting personal effects. One REALLY gets to know how a person, who may be famous, actually acts and feels away from the spotlight, and it's a great "microcosm" of history during those times. My daughter likes that period as well. She's a senior art major in college and her favorite thing is the "nose art" on the warbirds of the Second World War on up through Vietnam (an interest of her Pap she was curious about). Lol, there was no shortage of "pin-up" girls on the aircraft that flew over Europe and the Pacific (an art medium and style I enjoy). I took some art classes while in college during the early eighties before necessities dictated that I take a full-time job, thinking I'd go back at some point. Lol, decades later here I am in my mid-fifties, retired, and chatting with a fellow "father," doting over our daughters...lol, great stuff though. I only know you through a short comment, but it's not hard to see that you're a proud Papa, and rightfully so. Lol, talk about a "pissed off" Mama bear being protective...try squaring up with a Papa over his daughter (oh, how I loved scaring the sht out of her first date. Lol, the poor kid wouldn't talk to me for months afterward). Anyway, thanks for the reply and sharing info about your kid. I'll keep a good thought for you, daughter, and the rest of your family. Be safe through this virus crap we're all dealing with. Apologies for coming back and "editing" my comment several times.
Bette Davis was one of the best actresses of our time I recommend Of Human Bondage her first and one of her best performances. She had large almond shaped eyes that spoke louder than words def the inspiration for this song
its funny ans sweet to see your reaction to all those 70;s and 80;s music I am 49 grew up on all this
WHAT!!!!! a song, takes me back this one, tell you what India, all these great songs, making a new driving soundtrack now
As amazingly smart as you are, I'm surprised you don't know who Betty Davis is........
Beautiful actress from the old days. Eyes that you could stare into forever.......
Hello to all
I have been listening to Kim Carne's seen the 80s she have a hard voice but soft too. Betty David's is an actress. Who play in a lot of old movies
Bette would stare into the camera and it was like she was looking into your soul. Millions were mesmerized by those eyes. She was still alive when this song was a big hit. When it won the Grammy Award she sent roses to the writers and Kim Carnes.
A must watch, Whatever Happened To Baby Jane, 1962 starring BD and her rival Joanne Crawford. A spooky movie. Have always loved this song. Great reaction, TY.
You said....We have to find out who Bette Davis is? LOL!!!! One of the best movie actors in history! Bette Davis was nominated for an Academy Award 10 times for best actress. She won 2 Oscars as the best actress.
80's music videos were so freakin cool. I see now why I have some of the aesthetic I do today...my childhood taking this all in.
Thank you for reacting to this song, one of my favorites in my teens. I think it was my father who brought home a cassette with Kim Carnes .. He brought home much music from the US... I learn much reading the comments here, and I have seen many of the actors mentioned in movies even though I was born in 1970. Our national broadcaster had a thing with old movies back then ;)
Holy Moly.....I just felt so old when you said "gotta find out who this Bette Davis is".....lol
Kim Carnes sounds a whole lot like Rod Stewart. Bette Davis turned in a string of great performances long before she made All About Eve (1950). The Petrified Forest (1936), Jezebel (1938), The Letter (1940), Now, Voyager (1942) stand out even today. In fact one of the local broadcast channels were I live played The Letter just this last Monday night. Also watch Joan Crawford torment her in What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962) -- "A former child star torments her paraplegic sister in their decaying Hollywood mansion." Look out for the dumbwaiter!
Dark Victory was another great film
@@kaaytie84 Yep. My bad.
Bette Davis was a legendary Hollywood actress with a career spanning more than 50 years. She was known for her large eyes, half closed, but piercing. The kind of eyes that looks right through you and your reaction is I ain't messing with this lady. A very independent woman who stood her ground to all the Hollywood studio moguls (Keep in mind, this is the 30's and 40's before women's lib). She became friends with Kim Carnes after this song was a hit, and Kim gave her one of her gold record awards. Check out two of my favorite movies of hers, "The Letter" and "The Little Foxes". Those movies are great examples of the inspiration behind the song.
Colossal hit single of the 1970's. Forerunner of the graphic sexy allusions of 1980's pop rock music. After this song raced to the top of the charts, Kim Carnes actually did meet Betty Davis! Funny -- because all this hoopla was spun as early as 1930's Hollywood! Thanks, India, for yet another great REACTION!!!
Betty Davis in "Now, Voyager". The scene when she comes back from the cruise! What a makeover!!!
Love your song choices. Awesome song
“We’ll have to find out who Bette Davis is?”. Like a knife in the heart. I’m so old. I might even be too old for this channel. LOL!!!
It astounds me how people as legendary in the motion picture industry as Bette was are simply unknown today. It is a sad state of being human, I suppose, to forget the past. But it is very cool that you've taken the opportunity to go back and listen to these old songs (which are still great, IMO). You should try viewing a few old Bette Davis movies. She was very unique. Even if the movie wasn't very good, she was great.
Just heard this earlier today on the radio!! Great song!!! Bette Davis (the classic actress) has very distinct large eyes that was she known for!!! 😉
This song is about a woman who gets what she wants from her looks and ability to play the actress role without sacrificing much!! The Best Movie Bettie Davis was in besides what was mentioned IS!! Her Collaboration with Joan Crawford called "What Ever Happened To Baby Jane "!! That Movie Freaked Me Out when I seen it for the first time when I was only 6 years old!! OBTW, Despite Kim Carnes considered a One hit Wonder,She Had another Song that had a short play on the radio back then called "Draw Of The Cards "!! Great Song Worth Checking Out!!
I've always loved this song, and I love Bette Davis.
Love this song. Thanks.
Love this song.
I love Betty Davis. Great song great artist.
Fame is obviously fleeting. Who will be remembered from the current "stars" in 50 years time? Bette Davis was - and still is - famous. Great song Kim. Have loved it for decades.
I love her voice. Betty Davis was a actress from the 20s 30s and 40s and maybe the 50s. She was in a movie called Baby jane
Bette Davis was one of the Biggest and BEST actresses of ALL TIME! Please look up Ms. Davis and check out her films.
Bette Davis wrote letters to the songwriters & Carnes thanking them & when they won the Grammys for Song & Record of the Year she sent them flowers.
Famous Actress acadamey award winner...great movies with Bette Davis "fasten your seat belt, were in for a bumpy ride...."made the quote from timeless movie
" All About Eve"
Haven't seen you in a while. It's good to see you again ..vernon.
Betty Davis is a famous Old Time movie star didn't you ever see the movie Mommie Dearest? Kim Carnes is awesome singing this she has a raspy voice like Rod Stewart. I just love this video and song and Kim's voice.
I forget sometime that you are so young Betty Davis was a super star actress. And her eyes were very expressive! She had a very long acting carrier.
I used to have this cassette, I loved it!
Always loved this song!
This was another song that was played on R&B radio back in the day!!!
One of best movies in my opinion was "All This and Heaven Too" with Charles Boyer. They played off each other greatly. They both had the "eyes" and his French accent. Oh, makes you melt.
Kim Carnes was one of the acts in the video "We Are The World" along with Michael Jackson and Bruce Springsteen to name a few.
And she wasn't supposed to be a soloist at first. The line she sang was supposed to be sung by Pat Benatar (who performed at the American Music Awards that night) but had to go home and rest because she very pregnant at the time.
Bette Davis lived in my hometown of Cape Elizabeth, Maine and had a beautiful old oceanfront estate on Zeb Cove. The town is small and lots of twisting roads so when the Hollywood folks would visit they would get lost. So many stopped and asked "which way to Bette's house?" that she decided to name her house that. But She called it "Witch Way" instead! She was famous for playing a tough woman and embraced it. So CLASSY! Unfortunately Witch Way was torn down about 20 years ago, such a shame.
this song might be the most popular song by Kim Carnes, she was very popular in the 80s, one of her songs appeared on the movie "Flashdance", it was titled "I'll Be There Where The Heart Is"
Bette Davis (1908-1989), a two time Oscar® winning actress. She was voted as the second greatest actress of all-time according to the American Film Institute. Her movie career started in 1931 and ended only months before her death in 1989. According to IMDB, she had 122 television and movie credits over her career.
Excellent choice, It won Kim the Grammy for Song of the Year in 1981. Love her raspy voice. It has a strange, seductive quality. I recommend "Everybody's Somebody's Fool" by Debby Boone from 1986.
Kim has such a raspy voice her sound is distinct....she sang a duet with Kenny Rogers and I know she was on the We are the world for Africa that so many great singers was on
Loooove this song!
