Evelyn King ~ I’m In Love 1981 Disco Purrfection Version

This was the last song written for Evelyn’s fourth album, was produced by Kashif who had Evelyn sing in a higher register, helping her sound younger with the new sounds she was creating. You should know her story is pretty incredible, just working as a cleaner to have a job at Sigma Studio, the hottest production company at the time with Gamble & Huff, she started singing for her Mom cleaner at work to lift her spirits would end up being told that she was going to be a star. This happened before he made her a household name for her soulful interpretation of the disco hit “Shame“ in 1978. In the early 80’s King was seen as an older artist due to her alto level vocals, but the producers felt she could sound younger and this newer vocal style burned a path to #1 R&B with a steady, driving beat and funky keyboards.
