2.0 out of 5 stars Kim is great.... too much is missing here, November 28, 2003

This review is from: Gypsy Honeymoon: The Best of Kim Carnes (Audio CD)

to a lot of people, Kim Carnes is only known for "Bette Davis Eyes". Which is a shame, as she was one of the most underrated female singers of the 80's. However, this set is missing too many of her 80's hits to count. Among those missing, "Draw Of The Cards" (#28, 1981), "Cry Like A Baby" (#44, 1980), "Voyeur" (#29, 1982), "Does It Make You Remember" (#36, 1982), "Invisible Hands" (#40, 1983), "You Make My Heart Beat Faster" (#54, 1984), "I Pretend" (#73, 1984), "Hurricane", "Invitation To Dance" (#67, 1985), "Abadabadango" (#67, 1985) and "Divided Hearts" (#79, 1986). Over half of her charted singles. Even tho none of those songs were anywhere as huge as Bette Davis Eyes or More Love, they were all great 80's songs that deserve exposure. Try a budget compilation (you can find plenty that have all of the hits on them) instead. Kim, if you're reading this, we'd love you to return
