Evelyn Thomas
John Abbey, Blues & Soul, February 1976
WITH THE Chicago Soul Road-show only weeks away from kicking off its British tour, the timing of 20th Century's Evelyn Thomas could not be better as her 'Weak-Spot' steadily climbs its way to the top. Ms. Thomas is actually the second of 20th Century's British signings to achieve chart success; the other being, of course, The Exciters, who were also signed to the label by British DJ, Ian Levine, the co-writer and co-producer of Evelyn's Chicago recorded hit.
