Billy Idol – Eyes Without A Face (US 12″ Promo)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1984

Request

“Eyes Without a Face” is a song by the English rock musician Billy Idol, from his second studio album Rebel Yell (1983). It was released in June 1984 as the second single from the album. The song is softer and more ballad-like than most of the album’s other singles. It reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Idol’s first top-10 hit in the US. The recording features the voice of Perri Lister—she appeared in the banned video for “Hot in the City”—who sings “Les yeux sans visage” (French for “Eyes without a face”) as a background chorus. The title of the song refers to the English title of French director Georges Franju’s horror film Les Yeux sans visage (1960). The “Single Version” was not included on the 2024 expanded Edition of “Rebel Yell”.
