  • @judcolin3 perdon, pero tengo entendido que la cancion original fue escrita por Donna Weiss y Jackie DeShannon. Puede que Kim figure en los créditos de su versión al añadirle modificaciones. De todas formas, no es cuestión de comparar... simplemente de apreciar los buenos versos que se escuchan en cualquiera de las dos.

  • @dieufossindda las 2 lo escribieron juntas, Jackie solo lo canto primero

  • 11 dedos para abajo??? :S

    es que nadie reconoce el talento de la creadora del gran hit de Kim Carnes???

  • Nah deffo prefer Kim.

  • This is interesting; I'd never heard the original before. I never liked the Kim Carnes version very much. Not sure I'm too crazy about this version either, though I really love the beautiful and talented Jackie DeShannon. My favorite version of this song is on YouTube -- search for Big Daddy -- Bette Davis Eyes. Done '50s style as a comedy novelty thing, but it's actually done really well and is my fave version of the song.

  • I had no idea that the original would be so different.

  • I just thought that Kim Carnes was the origin of this song. First time to hear the 70's version and I believe though Kim revive this, she put the writer as well as the music into a great stand out version. This song became no.1 in 1981 in 9 weeks, and became the no.1 song of the year. And even now a lot of people wanting to hear the 80's version even the generation of today.

  • Wow, this is a LOT different from Kim Carnes' version. This almost sounds like a 1920s or 30s ragtime tune.....weird!

  • THis is very bouncy..nothing like Kim;'s excellent version.
