1948 10 years ago
As a true romantic I have a soft spot for the Soul Ballad and whenever I mix music I'm always seeking to stand out from the crowd whether it's the choice of artist or the way I mix the music. So of the many artist here listen out for Janice McClain and Evelyn Champagne King both un-recognised as balladeers but both up the the greats. Also the `1986 classic from Ready For The World that reached number 1 in the U.S.A. R and B charts
Janice McClain is an American R&B singer, who signed to MCA Records in the 1980s. She scored a chart hit on the US R&B chart with the single "Passion & Pain".

Internationally acclaimed, has travelled around the world as a professional vocalist and songwriter for over twenty years. At the age of 15, McClain was signed to Warner Bros. Records, which yielded a disco hit single entitled "Smack Dab in The Middle", that reached number 2 in the Billboard Club Play chart.

Evelyn "Champagne" King (born July 1, 1960) is an American R&B, disco and post-disco singer. Some of her best-known songs are "Shame", "Love Come Down", and "I'm in Love".

She was discovered as a young woman while working with her mother at Philadelphia International Records as an office cleaner. Producer Theodore T. Life overheard her singing in a washroom and began coaching her. She was eventually signed to a production deal with Life's Galaxy Productions and a recording contract with RCA Records.
