Shame: Evelyn Champagne King

This was the first “disco” song played at my college fraternity, Lambda Chi Alpha, at Washington and Lee University in the late 1970’s.

As I recall, it was quite controversial to play this as previously it had been all Beach Music or some strange Southern rock stuff late at night…

But my friend Ralph prevailed.  He was after a new attitude for the parties…

And the parties got much better…

It was a good mix…

And we danced all night…

Because it might have been “disco” but you could still shag to it…

    Back in the mid-1990s, Evelyn “Champagne” King performed at Babylon on New Year’s Eve. (Babylon is closed now, but at that point in time, it was the “hot” club in downtown Greensboro–with lots of gay as well as gay-friendly patrons!) I was there that evening and I remember it being huge fun!
