UK Number 40s: Evelyn 'Champagne' King - Back To Love (1982)

 


When I hear the name Evelyn 'Champagne' King the song I think of is "Shame" which was her 1978 debut. That wasn't her biggest hit though, it only just missed out on being a number 40 but managed one place better at 39.

It took her until 1981 to follow up with another Top 40 hit with "I'm In Love" which made 27 and was an American number 40. Then in 1982 came her biggest hit "Love Come Down" which was her only Top 10 hit.

This was the follow up to that, written by the same songwriter, Kashif. It was also from the same album, "Get Loose". It was the only one of her UK Top 40 hits not to make the Billboard 100. 

She had one more Top 40 hit with the number 37 "Your Personal Touch" in 1985, though she'd have several more singles chart outside the Top 40 with the last of those to date coming in 1996.
