Should WBLS and across the Urban/Dance stations in the U.S. do a tribute to High Energy song with Evelyn Thomas very importantly.

She's a one-hit wonder whose only hit was on the disco/dance chart. So no.

When I saw the name, I confused her with Evelyn Champagne King, who was also a 1 hit wonder in the same era.

I wouldn't consider Evelyn Champagne King a one hit wonder. Other than "Shame" other hits included "I Don't Know If It's Right", "I'm in Love", "Love Come Down".
