On This Day: April 27 1988 – Evelyn Champagne King Released Flirt
On this day April 27 1988, Evelyn Champagne King released her ninth studio album Flirt. Known for her smooth voice and dancefloor anthems in the late 70s and early 80s, King continued her run of R&B hits with this release.

Flirt reached number 192 on the US Billboard 200 and made a stronger impact on the R&B charts where it peaked at number 20. The album featured a polished late 80s production style mixing upbeat tracks with slow jams that showcased King’s vocal power.

While Flirt did not match the commercial success of her earlier albums like Get Loose, it helped keep her a respected figure in the R&B scene through the end of the decade.

Fun fact: The title track Flirt became a moderate hit on the R&B charts and was popular in clubs thanks to its catchy groove and sassy lyrics.
