Kim Carnes

In 2004, she re-appeared with a self-released album "Chasin' Wild Trains".
. These releases failed to reach the level of success of "Bette Davis Eyes", but by this time she was a highly respected songwriter, and collaborated with such artists as Barbra Streisand. While in Soundgarden, he recorded an album with members of Pearl Jam as Temple Of The Dog, in tribute to his friend Andrew Wood. Carnes continued to record and released several albums into the 1990s. Audioslave's first self-titled album spawned hits such as "Like a Stone" and "Cochise". The single went on to become the highest seller of the year and won Grammy Awards for Song of the Year and Record of the Year. After Soundgarden split up, and before joining Audioslave, he collaborated with Alain Johannes and Natasha Shneider of the band Eleven to release a solo album, Euphoria Morning.

Bette Davis admitted to being a fan of the song and approached Carnes and the songwriters to thank them. He is currently the vocalist in Audioslave, backed up by three of the four former members of Rage Against The Machine. As the first single released from the album Mistaken Identity, it spent 9 weeks at number one on the US singles charts and became a worldwide hit.
