Evelyn Champagne King — 2011 Interview Excerpts by Justin Kantor

In conjunction with the CD reissue of Evelyn's 'I'm in Love' album (for which I had the pleasure of writing the liner notes), I had the chance to interview Evelyn herself. Order the CD at http://cherryred.co.uk/bbr/product.php?display=evelynchampagneking#CDBBR0036 to read all about the making of the album and hear it again in all its glory — with five bonus mixes! Here is a portion of our chat in which we discussed various other songs Evelyn has recorded in her career...

Justin, great interview! Love Evelyn Champagne King. Use to play Shame over and over back in '77. You mentioned some tunes that I will check out and add to the library. Thanks!

@theseeker61 Glad you enjoyed it...thanks for listening! I will try to post some more of the interview in the near-future. But the liner notes I wrote for the 'I'm in Love' reissue include a lot of Evelyn's insights on the making of that album (as well as from producer Paul Laurence) ... which was informative for me!

Yep...Do Right was Leon Sylvers :)

I loved her ballad "Kisses Don't Lie". Evelyn is one of the singers we grew up with who has a lot of great songs which still sound good to this day.

She is & always will be, one of my favorite singers.
