Gene Cotton (born June 30, 1944 in Columbus, Ohio) is a pop and folk singer-songwriter. He is best known for his four Billboard Top 40 entries during the years 1976–1978. In the UK he is most famous for his song "Me and the Elephant" which failed to make the top 40 best sellers, but was an airplay hit.
History
Cotton has been a resident of Leiper's Fork, Tennessee since the late 1970s. In recent years, Cotton has scaled back his career as a singer and songwriter and spent much of his savings on a legal battle against the construction of a state highway (State Route 840) which would surround Nashville. Cotton, the father of two adoptedchildren and one biological child, has devoted himself to helping the underprivileged of his area by motivating them in their studies and activities through a program called Kids On Stage (KOS). KOS brings in Nashville artists to run summer classes that open the doors to the arts to kids who might otherwise never see greatness or think about greatness in their arts. Most notably, Grammy Award winner Michael McDonald has performed numerous times to bring awareness and raise donations for this program under Cotton's leadership, besides producing independent films about the plight of the poor around the world.
Kim Carnes (born July 20, 1945) is a two-time Grammy Award winning American singer-songwriter. Born in Los Angeles, California, Carnes now resides in Nashville, Tennessee, where she continues to write music. She began her career as a songwriter in the 1960s, writing for other artists while performing in local clubs and working as a session background singer with the famed Waters sisters (featured in the documentary, 20 Feet from Stardom). After she signed her first publishing deal with Jimmy Bowen, she released her debut album Rest on Me in 1972.
As a solo artist, Carnes saw some success with her singles "More Love," "Crazy in the Night (Barking at Airplanes)," "Make No Mistake (He's Mine)," with Barbra Streisand, and "I'll Be Here Where the Heart Is." Her most successful single was "Bette Davis Eyes," released in 1981. The song won two Grammy Awards; Song of the Year and Record of the Year, and became the best-selling single of the year in the United States.
Carnes' self-titled debut album primarily contained self-penned songs, including her first charting single "You're a Part of Me", which reached number thirty-five on the BillboardAdult Contemporary chart in 1975. In the following year, Carnes released Sailin', which featured "Love Comes from Unexpected Places". The song won the American Song Festival and the award for Best Composition at the Tokyo Song Festival in 1976. Other successes as a songwriter include co-writing the number one duet "The Heart Won't Lie" with Donna Weiss, recorded by Vince Gill and Reba McEntire, and co-writing the songs for Kenny Rogers' concept album Gideon (1980).
"You're a Part of Me" (solo version) peaked Adult Contemporary #32 (1976) on Billboard charts. It was the very first Kim Carnes hit. Although this album hasn't been released on CD, eight of the album's eleven songs can be found on the European CD "Master Series".
Track listing
"You're a Part of Me" (Kim Carnes) – 3:32
"Bad Seed" (Carnes, Dave Ellingson, Mentor Williams, Eddie Reeves) – 4:30
"And Still Be Loving You" (Carnes, Ellingson) – 4:45
"Hang On to Your Airplane (Honeymoon)" (Carnes, Ellingson) – 3:00

I remember the day we had nothin' to do
So we went down to the City Zoo
Just to kill an hour or two
Out in the good sunshine
But we had so much fun, we were glad that we came
We fed all the animals and gave each a name
An' didn't even mind when it started to rain
We had a real good time
But now that it's over and you're far away
I miss you more with each passing day
And all my friends sympathise and say "He'll forget in time,

Without you
Well the monkeys forgot ya and the hippo forgot ya
And so did the kangaroo
But me and the elephant, we still remember you
Me and the elephant, we'll never forget you
Well I wrote to Ann Landers and Dear Abby too
And sought their advice as to what I should do
And they said everything that reminds me of you
Would all have to go
So I burned all your pictures, except two or three
The one by my bed and one on my TV
And the one that I always carry with me
Everywhere I go
Now today was so nice and since I was in town
I thought I'd take the oppurtunity to go down
And see how everyone is down at the City Zoo
And what's new
Well the rhino forgot ya an' the zebra forgot ya
The polar bear and tiger too
But me and the elephant, we still remember you

Gene Cotton (born June 30, 1944 in Columbus, Ohio) is a pop and folk singer-songwriter. He is best known for his four Billboard Top 40 entries during the years 1976--1978.Cotton has been a resident of Leiper's Fork, Tennessee since the late 1970s. In recent years, Cotton has scaled back his career as a singer and songwriter and spent much of his savings on a legal battle against the construction of a state highway (State Route 840) which would surround Nashville. Cotton, the father of two adopted children and one biological child, has devoted himself to helping the underprivileged of his area by motivating them in their studies and activities through a program called Kids On Stage (KOS). KOS brings in Nashville artists to run summer classes that open the doors to the arts to kids who might otherwise never see greatness or think about greatness in their arts. Most notably, Grammy Award winner Michael McDonald has performed numerous times to bring awareness and raise donations for this program under Cotton's leadership, besides producing independent films about the plight of the poor around the world.
Cotton was instrumental in 1980s pop singer Michael Johnson's career.
In 2001, Cotton lost a race for a seat in the Tennessee House of Representatives to Republican Glen Casada. Casada won 3,185 votes to Cotton's 1,554 in a special election in which only 13 percent of registered voters cast ballots. Both Casada and Cotton campaigned on strong opposition to proposals for a state income tax.
Kim Carnes (born 20 July 1945 Hollywood, California) is an US singer-songwriter.[1] She is a two-time Grammy Award winner noted for her distinctive raspy vocal style.
In 1981, Carnes recorded the Jackie DeShannon and Donna Weiss song "Bette Davis Eyes". As the first single released from the album Mistaken Identity, it spent nine weeks at number one on the US singles charts and became a worldwide hit. The song's success propelled the album to No. 1 for four weeks. The single became the biggest hit of the entire year of 1981, and is second only to Olivia Newton-John's "Physical" as the biggest hit of the 1980s in the USA, according to Billboard. The song earned both the Record of the Year and Song of the Year awards at the 1982 Grammys. Carnes was nominated for Best Pop Female and Mistaken Identity also earned a nomination for Album of the Year. Two follow-up singles from Mistaken Identity, "Draw of the Cards" and the title track, were both released during 1981.
"Bette Davis Eyes" was written by Jackie DeShannon and Donna Weiss in 1974. Carnes and her band rehearsed the song in the studio for three days to take the melody and overall sound of the record to a darker, more haunting place. Keyboard player Bill Cuomo came up with the signature instrumental lick and together with the band and producer Val Garay created a completely new arrangement of the song, which was recorded live the next day with no overdubs.
Bette Davis admitted to being a fan of the song and approached Carnes and the songwriters to thank them. Davis wrote to Carnes after the song was released saying she loved the song. "It was a thrill to become a part of the rock generation", she said in her memoir 'This 'N That.' Davis' grandson, Ashley, told the screen legend she had "finally made it". Carnes and Davis struck up a special friendship, with the singer visiting her at her home several times until her 1989 death. In what she considers a career highlight, Carnes performed the song live for Davis at a tribute to the legendary actress held just before her death. Most recently, the song has been used in a Clairol Nice 'n Easy advertisement in the UK. The ad featuring the song has expanded into South Africa and other territories around the world. In 2008, the song was featured in the opening scene of the documentary film, Valentino: The Last Emperor.

A familiar story A sad affair of the heart We spend all this time Trying to find The glow in the dark Gentle changes The eyes still look the same A familiar heartbeat I go weak When you walk in I'm hangin' on by a thread Too many voices in my ear Too many memories locked in here I'm hangin' on by a thread Too many voices in my ear We hurt each other And wonder why We lie broken in two I was dreamin' You were here with me And through a open window We could look through Straight to the sea I'm hangin' on by a thread Too many voices in my ear Too many memories locked in here I'm hangin' on by a thread Too many voices in my ear We hurt each other And wonder why We lie broken in two And if I lose you now
