“Bette Davis Eyes” by Sexton Blake (Kim Carnes/Jackie DeShannon cover)
If you haven’t gotten word of Sexton Blake and their second album, Plays the Hits!, here’s all the info you need. Plays the Hits! is an album entirely of covers of hit songs from the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s including “Bette Davis Eyes”, as well as some unusual choices like “Girl You Know It’s True” by Millie Vanilli (this cover is brilliant! I wish I had the song in mp3 format and not m4a for iTunes to post) and “Human Nature” by Michael Jackson (my 2nd favorite MJ track and seriously underrated, if you ask me!).
Didcha know?
Bette Davis admitted to being a fan of the song and approached Carnes and the songwriters to thank them for making her “a part of modern times.”
