R&B / Soul / Disco / Philly Soul
Smooth Talk was Evelyn’s 1977 debut RCA album. The album features the huge R&B and Disco hits Shame and I Don’t Know If It’s Right.
Smooth Talk made #8 R&B and #14 Pop as well as achieving gold certification and spending a year on the album charts. The 12″ Disco mixes and 7″ radio versions of Shame and I Don’t Know If It’s Right are included as bonus tracks. BBR introduce the first ever expanded re-master of this album on CD.
Liner notes include detailed interviews with Evelyn and producer T. Life. This long sought-after CD re-master is a must for all Soul, Disco and Funk fans.
With a healthy array of simple yet funky soul/disco romps, King's debut outing is a fine catch for 70's R&B connoisseurs. Grooves like the savvy titletrack, with its undulating drum fills and serene and stylish vocal arrangement; the assertive "We're Going to a Party"; and the quietly melodic, pondering "I Don't Know If It's Right" (R&B #7, Pop #23), showcase the singer's power and poise finely against solid arrangements. And then there's the perennial dancefloor classic "Shame" (R&B and Pop #7), a bustling romp with an unforgettable transitional bridge and catchy chorus. Several forgettable numbers do surface, in the form of the bland, repetitive "Dancin', Dancin', Dancin" and the unconvincing heavy funk stance of "Til I Come off the Road." But on the whole, Smooth Talk proves itself a fun, satisfying listen for the body - if not a genius piece of soul.
