Billy Idol / Rebel Yell

Released in March of 1981, as a single from her Mistaken Identity Lp, Bette Davis Eyes, by Kim Carnes. The song was an international hit, and won two Grammy Awards, one for Song Of The Year, the second for Record Of The Year.
Although Gary Numan’s iconic synth-pop hit, Cars, was released in the summer of 1979, it would display enough staying power to become one of the biggest international hits of 1980. From his Lp, The Pleasure Principle, it remains a touchstone of the decade of excess, to this day.
Numan has continued to record over the years, and in 2021, released the album Intruder, on the BMG label.
