"Shame" is a 1978 hit single recorded by American singer Evelyn "Champagne" King. It reached number nine on the Billboard Hot 100, number eight on the U.S. Disco Chart, and number seven on the U.S. R&B Chart, earning a Gold certification by the RIAA that same year. After a long struggle in the UK Singles Chart, "Shame" eventually made the top 40, peaking at number 39.
In 1994, R&B/hip-hop soul duo Zhané covered the song and hit #28 on the Hot 100 and #12 on the R&B chart.
The song is featured in the 2002 video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City on the in-game radio station Fever 105.
On September 20, 2004, King's "Shame" became one of the first records to be inducted into the Dance Music Hall of Fame at a ceremony held in New York's Spirit club.
