How about a thread for early 80's R&B song Evelyn "Champagne" King's "Love Come Down"? There are no threads here for her at all! What is up with that?

Amazing song, only song of hers that equals it in quality is "I'm In Love"

How ABOUT a thread for early 80's R&B song Evelyn "Champagne" King's "Love Come Down!!" "Love Come Down" is the classic here. But don't forget "Shame" and "I'm in Love." Didn't Lisa Lisa steal something from the latter? Perhaps for "I Wonder If I Take You Home?"

i'm surprised i never started a Kashif thread.

This is A+++++ record.

what was the Kashif hit?..."Lover Turn Me On" or something like that?...was good, very similar to "Love Come Down", as I recall...

R&B sucks.

My hatred from R&B has nothing to do with my circuitry.

for

you just hate black people. it's cool

don't call him a racist he gets testy.

Sorry, but that's fucked up.

I don't think ur racist alex, ur just a douche.

"I'm In Love" is my fave. and everytime i play it, some one tells me,"I love this song!" there's a great reggae version, too, on the Soul Jazz Studio One Women comp.

There's a great reggae version of "Love Come Down" too, by Barry Biggs.

'the show is over' <3 <3 <3

incredible dollar bin buy, that album

I don't think ur racist alex, ur just a douche.

That's cool (and it's mutual). I appreciate it!

she was on a roll in the early 80s, a constant presence on the radio here in new york, the skittering synth riffs of I'm In Love and Love Come Down could be heard echoing from boomboxes and car radios. and her voice, so full and sexy. and don't forget about Betcha She Don't Love You

what was the Kashif hit

Evelyn's If You Want My Loving from 1981 was an early Kashif production and a good one.

alex is absolved from charges of racism because he likes never too much luther vandross

but dissing entire genres of music is dumb, that's why I don't post on hairmetal threads or whatever

also why I hold my tongue when my kid listens to top 40 radio or watches music videos

but inside you're thinking your son is a moron?

no I'm thinking (current) pop music bites

I crossed the rubicon back in february after spending a couple hours listening to car radio, reaching the point where if I heard ONE MORE lame rap about "shorty" getting down & dirty in da club my head would explode.

lol evelyn "champagne" king more like alexinnyc "chall-op" king

the best 3 girl tracks from '82 in my 'soul weekender' folder: this, 'Heartbeat' and 'Forget Me Nots'

Another great '82 sorta hit

alex is absolved from charges of racism because he likes never too much luther vandross

Yeah, Vandross is fuckin' awesome. Forgot about him. But he's a classic. I'm talking about the contemporary shit (not that Evelyn Champagne King counts as contemporary). See also Curtis Mayfiend, Gil Scott-Heron, Bill Withers, etc.

you like that new Badu album?

hey alex in nyc you may not have noticed but this thread is about an early 80s R&B song

This is a great song.

Yeah, love it.

aural bubblebath

ALL. THE WAY. DOWN.

feeling this one right now

Weird that I should see this thread while listening to a completely different song called "Love Come Down".

the and what-Alex in NYC fites are always worth a laugh.

WOW this song rules.

there's not a bad cut on this album.

Smooth Talk and Get Loose were reissued last year with a bunch of 12"/instrumental mixes. I'm in Love (half of which was produced by Kashif/Paul Lawrence/Morrie Brown) is getting the same treatment in a few weeks.
