Kim Carnes (born July 20, 1945 in Los Angeles, California) is an American singer-songwriter. She is noted for her distinctive, raspy voice which she attributes to many hours spent singing in smoky bars and clubs. Carnes was a member of New Christy Minstrels from 1966 until 1970. Kenny Rogers was also a member, and during this time Carnes met and married Dave Ellingson, with whom she would write most of her songs. For a short while in the early 1970s, she and Ellingson formed the folk duo Kim and Dave, which was not successful.

Universal Song Lyrics
Kim Carnes
Bill Cuomo/Kim Carnes/Dave Ellingson)
The neon sign lights up the room
She lifts the shade to feel the night
The universal song is playing again
And out across the boulevard
The cafe racers find their mark
Closes the door
She going looking for romance
You find it on the radio
You feel it in the air
The universal song is everywhere
You feel it in a heartbeat
And everyone's the same
The universal song is playing again
She sees his face across the street
He turns his head and looks her way
The universal song is playng again
He lifts her up and whirls her round
It's in the touch
It's in the sound
The universal song is starting to play
You find it on the radio
You feel it in the air
The universal song is everywhere
You feel it in a heartbeat
And everyone's the same
The universal song is playing again
The neon sign lights up the room
She lifts the shade to feel the night
The universal song is playing again
And out across the boulevard
The cafe racers find their mark
Closes the door
She going looking for romance
