Released in July 1982 as the lead single from her album Get Loose, “Love Come Down” became Evelyn “Champagne” King’s signature hit. Written by Kashif and produced by Morrie Brown, the track soared to No. 1 on Billboard’s R&B Singles chart and No. 17 on the Hot 100, while dominating dancefloors with its No. 1 position on the Dance Club Play chart. In the UK, it peaked at No. 7, becoming her highest-charting single there.
The song’s blend of post-disco grooves, shimmering synths, and King’s powerhouse vocals captured the early-’80s shift from disco to electronic R&B. Its iconic bassline and call-and-response chorus (“You make my love come down”) made it a radio and club staple, while the 12” extended mix (6:04) showcased its dancefloor endurance.
Get Loose, the parent album, was certified Gold in the U.S. and marked King’s transition from disco diva to ’80s R&B innovator. Though often overshadowed by her earlier hit “Shame”, “Love Come Down” solidified her legacy, influencing artists like Madonna and being sampled in Primal Scream’s 1990 hit “Loaded”.
Decades later, the track remains a retro playlist essential, celebrated for its infectious energy and Kashif’s genre-defining production.
