“Bette Davis Eyes“ is a song written and composed by Donna Weiss and Jackie DeShannon, and made popular by American singer Kim Carnes.
DeShannon recorded it in 1974; Carnes’s 1981 version spent nine weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was Billboard’s biggest hit of 1981.
The Carnes version spent nine non-consecutive weeks on top of the US Billboard Hot 100 (interrupted for one week by the “Stars on 45 Medley“) and was Billboard’s biggest hit of the year for 1981. The single also reached #5 on Billboard’s Top Tracks charts and #26 on the Dance charts. The song won the Grammy Awards for Song of the Year and Record of the Year. The song was also a #1 hit in 21 countries and peaked at #10 in the United Kingdom, her only Top 40 hit there to date. It also reached number two in Canada for twelve consecutive weeks, and was the #2 hit of 1981 in the country.
Actress Bette Davis, then 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.
