  • Continuing the Official snicks Top 100 Lost Hits of The 80's ... And here we are. The Ten Greatest Lost Hits of The 80's! At Number Four is ... "Voyeur" by Kim Carnes

  • Kim Carnes has more songs on this list than other artist, and her last entry proves my belief that "Bette Davis Eyes" was as much a curse as it was a blessing for her career. It was an enormous hit (nine weeks at #1), but nothing she followed it up with could hope to compare to its success. She gave it a valiant try, though, with the title track to my 2nd favorite album of the decade, and a synthrock classic. "Voyeur" was a ballsy choice to follow up the radio and family friendly BDE, and it did earn her a Grammy nod for Rock Vocal, but both the album and single were notorious flops. The album was the lowest charting follow -up to a #1 album in Billboard history (until 6 years later when Mr. Mister took that title away), and the song sputtered out at #29 in October 1982. Here's the clue for #3 - "I'm Always Looking For The Man Behind the Mask"
