„Stimmen werden zu Figuren, Songs zu Szenen, Sounds zu Bühnenbildern und Rhythmusmuster zu Handlungssträngen mit offenem Ausgang. Man sitzt gebannt im Sessel seines Kopfkinos und lauscht den vielen spannenden Geschichten, die Evelyn Kryger zu erzählen haben.“ – Thomas Haak, NDR „Jazzalbum der Woche“

Evelyn Kryger ist eine Band aus Köln, Hannover und Berlin.

Evelyn "Champagne" King ranks right up there with Donna Summer and Patti LaBelle at the top of the disco diva pantheon, but there has never been a domestically released collection to do her glittering career justice. Which is a real "shame" but "The Complete RCA Hits and More!" not only offers, like the title says, all 24 hits she scored on the R&B and Pop charts for the RCA label, but also presents them in the 12", alternate mix, and remix versions that really got the dance floor shaking back in the day! So you get the 12" mixes of big hits like "Shame," "I Don't Know If It's Right," "I'm in Love," and "Love Come Down," the "Dance Mix" of "Your Personal Touch," remixes of "High Horse" and "Shake Down," and so on.

“The epic adventures Evelyn creates over the course of a lifetime will leave every reader mesmerized. This wildly addictive journey of a reclusive Hollywood starlet and her tumultuous Tinseltown journey comes with unexpected twists and the most satisfying of drama.” —PopSugar

Singer Evelyn "Champagne" King first came to fame with the million-selling '70s disco smashes "Shame" and "I Don't Know if It's Right." Born July 1, 1960, in the Bronx, NY, she had a showbiz lineage. Her uncle was actor/singer/dancer Avon Long, who first played Sportin' Life in the play Porgy and Bess and later starred in the '70s play Bubblin' Brown Sugar. Her father, Erik King, was a singer and often augmented groups that appeared at New York's Apollo Theater. By her teens, King had relocated to Philadelphia with her mother, and began singing in several groups. To make ends meet, King and her mother became cleaning women. For a teenager, King's voice was quite mature; many at first thought she was a grown woman.
