Heard this on a juke box in U.K whilst playing pool. I was a baad player, this song, somehow made me play a bit better. This was always on juke box when I was in a pub. ❤
@@craigusselman546 Wrong guy. Rivers' (what the heck is the possessive?) dad was a jazz sax player. Bill Cuomo is a session keyboardist - also played Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again."
I want to say this is top 5 live performances I've seen. I've seriously rewatched it dozens of times and it's so good I keep noticing things I like about it.
God dang! That rocked! I think things were different back then. The live performance, the talent, the technique, was so damn key. Now, I feel like it is more about the SHOW(if you know what I mean). Like, if they are not actually singing now or it is auto tuned, or if the backing tracks are pre-recorded now, I think it doesn’t get much attention now, UNLESS, it is an older act(legacy act), which I find adds insult to injury. Back then, that stuff had to be real.

What a voice! No autotune here, just pure talent.
Kim Carnes was blessed with the female version of a Rod Stewart voice
Voice More like bonnie Tyler
Half of my life i thought that the thing that gets you high of the marijuana was the leaf, and also that this song was from Rod haha.
@@manuelmontero2463 LOL
@@gunner-the_dog1352 Exactly, like Rod and Bonnie's voices convined
It is so cool to see a childhood youtuber pop up everywhere.
I love her raspy voice. Her live perfomance was magnificent! 80's at it's best!
That Raspiness is so sexy
You bet...almost Bonnie Tyler?
Yes!
Me too!!!!
Yeah, she was known as the female version of Rod Stewart!
Finally, a live performance that isn't lip-synched. Thanks for posting!
th-cam.com/video/5Ogzpw4z9mk/w-d-xo.html
Yup exactly. I thought she was playing to TV mixes but nope, all lip synced until this
@@YannisFyssas Oh I thought she was miming. She's not? Wow she sounds EXACTLY the same.
It’s money. If a singer sings live the show has to pay a BIG fee.
@@debbie1060 Er.. yeah.
Her voice and stage presence were so unique... I truly enjoyed this performance.
Raw talent, great tone and vocals!
Like Bette Davis.
Listen to Drake
Music is so powerful. It can instantly transport one to that moment. Some more than others. This one definitely takes me to the 80s.
Iconic song of the '80's.
Unforgettable.
I couldn't believe that this voice could be as magnificent live as it is on the album...
That's because the vocal on the record was live.....we did the entire record that way. Cheers, Bill Cuomo
She has more soul in her little finger than many female singers of "today"...
(Amy Winehouse)
correction, there´s no more singers today. Happy to live these golden days.
One of the greatest pop songs ever! And what a voice!!!
I love the keyboard work in this song.
Michael Sembello
Pretty sure it’s Bill Cuomo on keys and Craig Hull on guitar.
@@andrewkarp5067 I thought it was Ray Stevens on Keyboard & Che Guevara on Guitar!?! & is that Carly Simon on those 'Shaker' instruments???
They're synths
Yep i love it to, i play it in my Yamaha Modx 7 Synthesizer
An absolute classic from the early 80’s. This song has been and will continue to be timeless.
I heard this one in the eighties and I never did realize how well made this song was, today it sounds to me like new wave on its purest state
Heaven must´ve sent its musical blessing on this planet during the 80s. Thank you Father Almighty.This Kim´s performance is absolutely magnificent.
Back 2 my childhood in 3,2,1!!!
Kim Carnes ... A real talent who needed no gimmicks to enhance her voice.
God, I miss great music like this.
i´ll share to you our cover of Bette Davis Eyes
th-cam.com/video/5Ogzpw4z9mk/w-d-xo.html
Underrated as hell.She had a ton of good songs in her day, but this one is all anyone knows now.
@@NoPawn I love a kick in the heart so much
@@NoPawn oh really. Like what ? I would like to take a listen please.
Debbie The albums I would DEFINITELY recommend is Mistaken Identity, where this song comes from, and Romance Dance. She is good music personified.
Loved this song by Kim as refreshing now as it was 40 years ago, beginning a decade of awesomeness that was the80's.
Sometimes when singers get older u can hear it in their voice but Kim sounds amazing still, singing this song now... brilliant
listen one time and it is in my head all day long. AWESOME SINGER!!

God the synth and the voice is so good here since its live... fitting so bad ass this is the best live performance of this song
One of the most ridiculously deep hooks ever snagged in our musical memories.
OMG I LOVE THAT SONG WITH ALL OF MY HEART!!!!
Been listening non stop lately too 😅
_Legendary, live and just flawless._
I love Bette Davis and this song is a wonderful tribute to her amazing talent. Thank-You Kim Carnes.
Real, live synth playing. Classic sounds from the Prophet 5 and ARP Solina.
Bill Cuomo River from weezers dad! Guy in the hat and beard.

Kim is so gorgeous and her song pounds thru all of our hearts until forever
Still a great tune after all these years 👍 80s music at its finest.
Je ne me lasse jamais d'écouter ce Tube de Kim Karnes comme au premier jour 👏👏👏

The raspiness is just pure talent. Few female singers can have such a unique voice as her.

Happy 75th birthday 2 U, dear Kim! Keep on rocking!
Que linda cancion nunca pasara siempre estara presente
excellent! BRINGS BACK MEMORIES from the radio in 1981.
A BEST performance. AMAZING. RYTHM, FORCE, MELODIC, SO strong in the presentation.
Only Kim Carnes can properly sing and perform this song, nobody else.
Rod Stewart needs to cover this song it would be his come back cover.
Brandon Flowers kills this song
