Her raspy voice has been compared to that of Rod Stewart in the past. In 1980, Kim Carnes made it big after Kenny Rogers commissioned her to co-write an album called “Gideon.” They had a duet called “Don’t Fall in Love with a Dreamer,” which made it number four on the Billboard Hot 100. The pair even earned a Grammy nomination for it! She later released an album called “Mistaken Identity,” which had a song called “Bette Davis Eyes.” It was the best-selling single in the United States that year!
