Of her many R&B and pop hits, she is best known for the disco-era "Shame," which is her only Top 10 on the Hot 100 (#9 in 1978). Suprisingly, "Shame," considered to be a disco classic, only hit #8 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. King did hit #1 on the dance chart in 1981 with "I'm In Love" and then she topped that chart again in 1982 with "Love Come Down." The latter was also a Top 20 Hot 100 hit.
