Oh man, I bought her Greatest hits cd today and it rocks! She's awesome. She aint no Cheryl "got ot be real" Lynn but she still rocks! Some of her early stuff is like electro new wavish funk! I'm not too kenane on the more disco-y stuff but it's all good. I can't believe she was only 17 when she recorded shame. She sounds so mature. Anyone else like her?

She definitely was one of my vocal influences. Some of my favorite songs by her were I'm In Love, Love Come Down, Betcha She Don't Love You, Shame, Kisses Don't Lie. Alot of her songs were produced by Kashief.

I heard betcha she don't love you for the first time today when I bought the cd. It's a great song. I also love, love come down, and i'm in love but so far the whole cd is great!

That songs definitely takes me back.

Evelyn Champagne King is amazing!

So, so good. Definitely one of the best singers of the time.

Cant beat it!

"The Show Is Over" (1977)

Cosign!

I love lots of Evelyn "Champagne" King. My all time favorite is "Action".

LOVE COME DOWN = multiple orgasm. on of the best songs EVER!!! period.

I swear to you, I was just jammin to "Shame" right before I got to my house. She was the bomb. I'd like to hear something new from her. And I totally agree with you chico4U, Love Come Down is the shiznit, especiall the extended version.

chico4U said:

Flirts a good track too...

I can't really get into shame for some reason. Too disco-fied for me I suppose.

That was a smooth club banger.

"I'm In Love" was always my favorite.

I remember I bought it last year (it was right around this time....I ordered a bunch of CDs through Columbia House and got them Labor Day weekend). I wasn't overly impressed but songs like "Love Come Down", "High Horse", "Shame" and yes, "I'm In Love" (thank you Janet) kicked my butt, so it's worth the buy for those songs.

I saw her concert several months ago.She was part of an Old School R&B concert in my area.She performed "Betcha She Don't Love You","I'm In Love","Shame" and "Love Come Down".She dances up a storm!

Man the album "Get Loose" is FUNKY. It has 4 stars on allmusic.com too.

That damn song "I Can't Stnad It" is THose drum machines Kashif were using on that album was fire... along with the other hits "BEtcha She Dont Love U" and "Love Come Down" on it.

The song I Don't Know If It's Right has a special place in my heart.

It takes you back to the 70's don't it.

Yep, it reminds me of my late cousin. We used to sit and write skits and record them on a cheap ass tape recorder. We sang the hell out of this song. It was hilarious, to us. Good times, good times.
