Song #361: "Draw Of The Cards"--Kim Carnes (1981)

It's really unfair to say Kim Carnes had one of most unique vocal sounds of (just) the 1980's, because, by 1980, she had already released four albums. But it was in 1980 where she finally found chart success, as her song "More Love" cracked the Top 10.

That set the stage for her 1981 smash album, "Mistaken Identity", and from it, by far and away her biggest hit, "Bette Davis Eyes", which went on to be one of the biggest singles of the decade.

But my favorite song from that LP was her follow-up single, which only peaked at #28 in September of 1981 as I was settling into the ninth grade. Posted is the "12 Inch Maxi Single" version. And Kim will be back again, as the countdown continues....
