    I was 19 years old in 1981. I was living in my car that year. I can remember this song playing on the radio when I was driving around looking for a place to park for the night where I wouldn't be run off by some security guard or be spotted by a coworker or someone else I knew. It really was a great song, but needless to say, for me it brings back memories of a very difficult time.

    It’s a great song that really works SO perfectly with her raspy, smoky voice…but I can’t stop looking and laughing at the drummer upstaging her the whole time in the back. He is like the Dad telling Dad jokes, just so into himself and unaware at the same time. Love it.

      Was alive and well. Ahh, yes the summer of 1981!, remember it well. Reaganomics just barely starting, he got shot in March, survived. Double digit inflation, interest rates, unemployment still, but ended in a few years. 99¢ a gallon gasoline. I got the brand new album in March of 1981. Given to me for free in a promotion for her in Las Vegas Nevada. Signed by her at the Dunes hotel and country club casino. Great year, great time, great people, in a much different country then. A time never to return again.

    1981... Bette Davis Eyes was the #1 song of the year. How ironic. The birth year of a co- worker. I let the co-worker know when they turned 40. I played a clip from All About Eve when Miss Davis (Margot Channing) complaining about turning 40. "Three months I turned 40. 4-0." This year I think I'll play again for them this year (2024) A few years older. But I will remind them anyways!
