Music Box is the second album by R&B singer Evelyn "Champagne" King, released by RCA Records in 1979. It was produced by Theodore Life, Bill Greene and Sam Peake. It's also noted for featuring Luther Vandross on background vocals.
The album peaked at #12 on the R&B albums chart. It also reached #35 on the Billboard 200. It produced the singles "Music Box" and "Out There". The album was certified gold by the RIAA. The album was digitally remastered and reissued on CD with bonus tracks in 2011 by Funky Town Grooves Records.
The Bay State Banner wrote that "King sounds like Michael Jackson, her lyrics are a sight-seer's tour of disco clubs, and her music is bubblegum with a Sylvers' accent... What saves the King performance from being prissy is her part tomboy, part kitten voice."[1]
