Okay so I bought her "Greatest Hits" CD and am loving it.

In addition to the #1 R&B classics "Love Come Down" and "I'm In Love" which I've been familiar with for a long time, I discovered a slew of new goodies including: "I Don't Know If It's Right" (the uptempo companion to Janet's "Let's Wait Awhile"), "Shame (12" Version)", "Spirit Of The Dancer", "Teenager" (produced by Prince Andre Cymone!!), etc.

My question is what other good songs can you recommend from Lady King?

BTW, does Evelyn still record or perform in concert?

that is a GREAT collection. Those are her jams!!

'out of control'

I bought this collection and wasn't into it right away but it's good. I really like "High Horse", also on that disc.

Oh Yes I love some Evelyn and she happen to be one of my fav 80s female r&b singers.

these are my favortite songs by Evelyn:

"Shame" (1977)
"I Don't Know If It's Right" (1977)
"The Party's Over" (1977)
"Music Box" (1979)
"I'm In Love" (1981)
"Love Come Down" (1982)
"Betcha She Don't Love You" (1982)

"Action" (1983)
"High Horse" (1984)
"Hold On To What You've Got" (1988)

Most of her singles still sound fresh and vibrant

She still does concerts.I saw her a few years ago at one of our "Super Oldies" R&B shows.

I think she has an offical site...

www.EvelynChampagneKing.com

check and see if tourdates are listed

Evelyn is another ass-kicker for me. 'Shame' is one of the most hecka-slammin' songs ever.

I saw years ago at a Funk-Fest with bands like Ohio Players & the Gap Band.
It was so sad for me cuz, she opened the event & was the only act supported by recorded music (no band). And while I enjoyed it, no one else in the audience was feeling her. Until her final song, which was "Shame". But since since her music was recorded, it faded out just when Ms. King was getting into her groove. I could sense her frustration as she ended her set saying, "Okay, I guess that's it."

I felt so bad for her.

Yeah,at every show that I've seen,she sings to a pre-recorded backing tape.This is not a problem for me,because she still KICKS ASS onstage,dancing up a storm too.
