EVELYN CHYAMPAGNE KING IN CONCERT:
Legendary R&B and disco diva Evelyn Champagne King continues to let her "Love Come Down" on fans around the world with effervescent, intoxicating performances of her funky hits. She hasn't released a new album since 2007, but with a catalog full of timeless songs like "I'm in Love" and "Shame" it hardly matters -- Miss Champagne King's live shows are all about the classics. Fans looking for a trip down memory lane will find their nostalgic longings fully satisfied as this iconic performer soaks the stage with her dazzling voice, effortless style, and sparkling collection of dance-worthy tunes.
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.

Not what I Expected
by Jake on 4/30/24St. George Theatre - Staten IslandRating: 2 out of 5Pretty lame show singers performing to backing tracks. Not what I expected. Fans were rude standing and blocking the view . There’s another show scheduled for September I won’t be there. Oh lastly there were too many songs performed that were not well known. If the artist has 3 songs to sing the had better be big hits
One of the best legendary singers

Bad Sound
by Mick on 12/30/19The Wellmont Theater - MontclairRating: 2 out of 5The sound people did not do a good mixing job. The DJ's bass was could not hear the vocals. Ms. KING sounded great. Evidently she had her own mix without the DJ. Seats were too small and uncomfortable...and I had front row ($$$). Will never go to Wellmont again.
Sound quality was horrible
by Song Leader on 12/30/19The Wellmont Theater - MontclairRating: 2 out of 5The backing tracks were badly mixed and speakers were terrible.
Excelent
by Gus on 12/30/19The Wellmont Theater - MontclairRating: 5 out of 5Great Show. Great place. Excellent facilities. The sound was also good quality
Blast from the past
by G on 12/30/19The Wellmont Theater - MontclairRating: 4 out of 5Enjoyed Evelyn Champagne King and FranceJoli the most because they really entertained. The sound system at the Welmount could use some updating, sounded like tin cans at one point. Otherwise the entire event was enjoyable.

Ms. King was the Bomb!
by PatC4U on 1/14/19Morongo Casino Resort and Spa - CabazonRating: 5 out of 5First time I have ever done a concert at the Casino, I totally enjoyed it. After the show they had DJ's and I partied like a rock star. This senior citizen got her groove on and looking forward to doing it again.

70's dance party big disappointment
by DancingKitty on 4/28/15Wildwood Convention Center - WildwoodRating: 1 out of 5I didn't drive 1.5 hours to see artists LIP SYNC!!!! Really Evelyn Champagne King lip synced? There was too much talking and praising of each other and that stopped the dance party, too many breaks in between the music. You made it bigger then it was. It was very disappointing for a 70's dance party.
