this song is probably one of the greatest dance songs of the 80s! Everytime this was played in the clubs in '84, the dance floor was PACKED!!!!!!! A true classic!!!
+0?? Because there were proper musicians with real talent, making decent music. Unlike today, where we have beautifully presented, attractive people who are hand picked and auto-tuned through some dreary cover or cliché filled drivel thrown together by some hack session writer. Or we have the latest version of rap where we're assaulted with various degrees of violence, misogyny, drug use and expletives, usually to a backdrop of something recorded in the 80s. And to think people used to call 80s music for being style over substance!! To be fair, there are still artists out there making decent music, but it's so hard to access them through the mire that's being forced into our ears.
I used to hear this blasting out of an apartment window as I walked past each day. It made me smile as I loved the song and wondered who had such good taste. One evening I met her, fell in love and 31 years later we are still together. Funny how things turn out!
This song reminds me of a good friend who is no longer here! Here's to you Tom and thank you for the sweet memories that I cheerish. It only seems like yesterday that we danced the night away to this song. Miss you!
I got the song last year on a DVD called ´Disco Fever¨ that has got disco hits, in which was included High Energy...when i first listen to the song I didn´t like it, but then i couldn´t help stop listening to !!!!!!!! Its amazing,great, its pure energy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I always wondered why that unique rhythm was never picked up much by anybody else. It sure had mainstream defining potential. One of the truly great dance tracks of all times! Thx for putting this up on RUclips!
An earworm brought me here... I loved this song when it came out (when I was 13) and it still pops into my head every now and then. Like just now, while making a cup of tea, it started swirling around in there. It's at times like this I'm glad for the existence of the Internet, so I can punch it up and have a proper listen. Bloody marvellous tune, even today.
I went out clubbing with friends in the 8os and 90s who I'm still close friends with today although we don't see each other as much because of cicumstances ie some of us are married some are living with partners etc one or two of the lads have passed away through ill health rip but looking back then I'm pleased we want out listening to music like Evelyn king and the times we had wonderful memories
My father loves thath song, he play it when drives by the highway .I love that to. Mi padre amaba esta cancion el la tocaba mientras manejaba en la carretera.. a mi tambien me gusta . me gusta el High energy
I loved this song when it first came out and now in 2016 and me being 40 this year I still have this in my car and play it as loud as I can. Such a fantastic track. My childhood was all about music. We hardly ever had the tv on. We had the 12 inch version of this in our house and it got played loads. LOVE IT xx
UNA CANCION FANTASTICA, LLENA DE ENERGIA. A MI ME PRODUCE UN SENTIMIENTO MUY PARTICULAR, DE MI VIDA, DE ALEGRIA DE LIBERACION. 1984 QUE TIEMPOS AQUELLOS.
One of the best dance records in that year. Takes me right back to my summerholliday in Spain... Oh, those where the days. We had the time on our side. Still, gives you energy! Thanks a lot Evelyn.
First time hearing this song (not sure how I missed it in the 80s). But the first thing that hit me is: how has no one pointed out how similar this is to Frankie Goes To Hollywood's Relax? When that synth bass kicks in at 0:15?
I've to add more details :) This song is my all time favourite, now since 26 years. Evelyn is a goddess and the song is immortal and part of the music history. I can't tell you, how much this song has influenced me. All the best for Evelyn and you Ian! cheers, Frank
Ian, Thank you for your great work (?pleasure?) on this beautiful work of art. You and Evelyn have given us a gift that will last . . . for eternity. Eddie Goldstein
Defined and launched a new genre of music through the 80s. Remarkable in every sense of the word! thank you for everything. How much of the Record Shack/Nightmare catalogue I have on vinyl!
Oh my. How can you not sit still on this track. It's a pity that I was born 2 decades too late (I was born on the same year this track was released ;) Awesome year!)
Not ALL ppl in there 20's shut this music down. Im 21 & was RAISED on this type of music !!!!!!!!! dont be so stereotypical ! people just dont have good taste in musik no matter what the age !!!!!!!!!!!!!! CLassic HOUSE FOREVER ! ChicaGO!
Mr. Levine, I have HUDREDS of dance recordings and I would put this song in my TOP 5 dance records of ALL-TIME! Thanx for recording it. This is a DANCE MASTERPIECE!!! XD
still such a fabulous dance track in 2009!Play this in clubs and everybody's on the dancefloor here,like most of these fabulous 80 & 90's hits actually,nothing compare to them since!
woooowwww en ese año ni siquiera había nacido, pero resulta que mi padre era Dj en sus tiempos y estuve buscando esta canción por un buen rato, recuerdo que el tenia un LP que tenia en la portada un conejito con audifonos, era una mezcla de canciones de ese año ufffff estaba buenisimo. Me encanta esa época me hubiera gustado vivir esos años me parece que en lo que refiere a la música los 60 70 y 80 fueron los mejores.
This in an example of a song that's bigger than the artist..but then again that was common in the 80's..N-e-way looove this song, I was 3 when this came out so no way I remember it but it really is a timeless song!
great song from "84, never seen the video and often wondered what she looked like! brings back memories of being with my brother in his car just after he passed his test!
this song is probably one of the greatest dance songs of the 80s! Everytime this was played in the clubs in '84, the dance floor was PACKED!!!!!!! A true classic!!!
And Shannon
Wish I could wake up to find, today was just a bad dream, and it was still the 80's. amazing song.
why is 80's music 100,000,000x better than anything of todays tripe.
+0?? YESSSS!!!!
+0?? Because there were proper musicians with real talent, making decent music.

+0?? Because the 80's were EPIC, with awesome sprinkled on top
+0?? The answer is simple. How old are you? ;-)
hahaha good answer! i listened that song when i was a child!
I used to hear this blasting out of an apartment window as I walked past each day. It made me smile as I loved the song and wondered who had such good taste. One evening I met her, fell in love and 31 years later we are still together. Funny how things turn out!
Any one who don't feel like dancing when hearing this song has got no soul💃🕺🇬🇧
She died two days ago.
This song reminds me of a good friend who is no longer here! Here's to you Tom and thank you for the sweet memories that I cheerish. It only seems like yesterday that we danced the night away to this song. Miss you!
Just another in an endless line of epic classics that came from the '80s. The greatest decade for music, PERIOD
The bigger and beauty time of music
This would instantly PACK the dance floor when it came on in the clubs. 💃🕺
Songs like this make life worth living.
Good griefff!!! Dear God bring the 80's back and my youth too.
All the people were jumping continously when dj played this song....80's..great years...great music..
Who can resist to dance when this song plays ?
Yes, Hans Zimmer played and programmed every sound and instrument on this entire recording.
And that was LONG before he won any Oscars.
Still sounds FABULOUS!!!!!
I love her voice. She's really awesome.
Temaso...este temon escuche cuando tenia 7 años......hoy a mis 44 lo sigo escuchanso...joseph from paraguay
Wowsers this song brings back so many good memories..
This is such a classic... Make me wanna dance everytime I hear it!
This sounded like the most MODERN thing I had ever heard when it first came out! ;-)

Its amazing,great, its pure energy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of THE biggest dance tracks ever made!
One of THE GREATEST 80'S SONG!!!!!!!
This is the good stuff foks, if you were one of the 12 million people who bought this record back in 1984 you know what's up...
I always wondered why that unique rhythm was never picked up much by anybody else. It sure had mainstream defining potential. One of the truly great dance tracks of all times! Thx for putting this up on RUclips!
I love 80s
WOW do I miss the 80s music, just the BEST ever
one of the best pre-soulful house song ever. ahead 10 years from his time.
No need for a remake Mr Levine! The song is perfect as it is!!!!
An earworm brought me here... I loved this song when it came out (when I was 13) and it still pops into my head every now and then. Like just now, while making a cup of tea, it started swirling around in there. It's at times like this I'm glad for the existence of the Internet, so I can punch it up and have a proper listen. Bloody marvellous tune, even today.
This is way ahead of its time actually. Sounds more like an early '90s track to me.
GRANDE EVELYN THOMAS........VIVA LA MUSICA DISCO ....

I remember this song .... had fun in the 70s and 80s
I went out clubbing with friends in the 8os and 90s who I'm still close friends with today although we don't see each other as much because of cicumstances ie some of us are married some are living with partners etc one or two of the lads have passed away through ill health rip but looking back then I'm pleased we want out listening to music like Evelyn king and the times we had wonderful memories

Great times, great song, great memories!
Amazing, how simple a harmonic structure can be ... yet totally intriguing.
One of the best minimalistic songs ever. And, Evelyn is grand!
First time hearing this song (not sure how I missed it in the 80s). But the first thing that hit me is: how has no one pointed out how similar this is to Frankie Goes To Hollywood's Relax? When that synth bass kicks in at 0:15?
Still love it, will love it forever!
I've to add more details :)
This song is my all time favourite, now since 26 years. Evelyn is a goddess and the song is immortal and part of the music history. I can't tell you, how much this song has influenced me.

Me encanta esa época me hubiera gustado vivir esos años me parece que en lo que refiere a la música los 60 70 y 80 fueron los mejores.
a real up beat 1984 club classic
This in an example of a song that's bigger than the artist..but then again that was common in the 80's..N-e-way looove this song, I was 3 when this came out so no way I remember it but it really is a timeless song!
im gonna cry now.... this is soooo super great.... !!!!! :-D
