That point where 70's fashion and music start to merge with the 80's is what I'm talking about today with this live version of a hit from Kim Carnes. I love Animal back there on the drums. The only thing missing from this video is I'm afraid Kim doesn't have enough people on stage with her. She needs a couple more back-up singers and musicians to round it out I think. Here is her 1980 hit, which was a remake of the 1967 hit by Smokey Robinson called "More Love"...
Today's weird video and song from 1981 come from "the female Rod Stewart." Well, that's what some people referred to her as. This song and video was a follow up to her biggest hit and one of the biggest hits of 1981 called "Bette Davis Eyes." Yes, it is Kim Carnes with "Draw of the Cards"...

I love the slapping choreography in today's video - absolutely genius! Today's song spent nine weeks at #1, was the highest seller of the year and won the Grammy Awards for Song of the Year and Record of the Year... The song was also a number one hit in 31 countries... here is Californian Kim Carnes with "Bette Davis Eyes"...

If you grew up during the 80's and still have a soft spot in your heart for mullets, leg warmers, Pacman, and you still remember who you had a crush on whenever you hear REO Speedwagon's "Can't Fight This Feeling," then I hope you get some enjoyment here as we blast through the world of music videos, tv shows, sports, cartoons, and movie clips from the 1980's.
