BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Bronx-born, Philadelphia-raised Evelyn "Champagne" King grew up in a musical household -- her father and uncle were active in the Harlem music scene -- but her path to musical greatness was somewhat haphazard. In her teens she worked as an office cleaner in Philadelphia with her mother, and it was during this time that that a producer at Philadelphia International Records overheard her singing while she was cleaning a bathroom. He began coaching her, secured her a recording deal with RCA, and the rest is history. Her 1977 debut album Smooth Talk was a Top 10 hit, appearing on charts around the world and spawning the certified gold singles "Shame" and "I Don't Know If It's Right". Her rise continued in the early '80s with the albums I'm In Love (1981) and Get Loose (1982), both of which spawned chart-topping dance singles. Champagne King continued to be a constant chart presence for the remainder of the '80s before taking some time away from the spotlight in the '90s. She made a triumphant return to the scene in 2007 with the album Open Book, her first new album in more than 12 years. Since then she has continued to captivate fans around the world on tour with sparkling, soulful performances of her classic hits.

The show was the perfect length for grown folks lol. She tore it up. Her voice is still amazing. She looked great. Great entertainer! You won't be disappointed going to see Evelyn Champagne King!
My husband and I went to the Aretha amphitheater in Detroit Michigan to see the lovely Evelyn, champagne king and the finest man in Detroit Mr. Keith Washington himself. They both were. Outstandy despite the weather and the pouring rain we had a wonderful time
Evelyn puts on a great act. She have a lot of energy, great voice and great dances like she is in her twenties.
I had a wonderful time. She gave a great performance
If you liked her back in her day, you will love her this day. True performer!!!
The concert was good however it could have been a bit better. Keith Washington’s performance was good however the sound for the background singers was really lacking. Not sure what happened with microphones. We could not hear the at all until Keith gave them his mic to sing through.
Keith Washington was a dream. He looks great. Very interactive with the audience. Evelyn was the show stopper. Her energy on stage was amazing. She still got it. Great voice, so strong. I will definitely be waiting on her next performance.
One of the best concerts I have ever seen. Evelyn and Keith did not disappoint. Evelyn kept me grooving all evening. Real raw talent. And she got them knees too 😂
Great Concert, digital tickets very convenient Great seats . Dinner before was a great idea.
Evelyn “Champagne” King was absolutely fantastic!!! She’s Still got it at 64 years of age!!! She is a true virtuoso. All of the other acts were fantastic as well!!! I really enjoyed the trip down memory lane!!!
