Biography
Evelyn Thomas (b. 22 August 1953) is best known for her song “High Energy”, which hit #1 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in 1984. “High Energy” also reached #5 on the UK charts in 1984 and #1 in Germany, in addition to becoming a major chart hit all over Europe.
The follow-up single “Masquerade”, released the same year, received heavy rotation in European clubs but failed to reach the UK Top 40. A number of unsuccessful singles followed, most notably “Heartless” and a cover of the Supremes’ “Reflections” recorded in a Hi-NRG style; in addition to an album release, “Standing at the Crossroads”, in 1986.
In late 1987, the single “No Win Situation” shot to #1 on the now defunct UK Hi-NRG chart. Although best known worldwide for her Hi-NRG club hits, Thomas has also recorded and performed in disco, jazz, and gospel music styles.
Before her successful period in the 80s, she had also scored a chart hit in 1976, reaching the UK Top 30 with her single “Weak Spot”.
