High Energy by Evelyn Thomas Song Info
"High Energy" is the title of a 1984 song by co-written and co-produced by Ian Levine (British) and Fiachra Trench (Irish), and performed by American dance singer Evelyn Thomas. The song became very popular in dance clubs around the world, and it topped the American Hot Dance Club Songs in September of that year. It also spent four weeks atop the pop chart in Germany, and peaked at #5 on the UK Singles Chart and crossed over to the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 85. It became one of the earliest successful songs within the genre of music that has come to be known as Hi-NRG. On the SoBe Music compilation album Gay Classics, Volume 1: Ridin' the Rainbow, the liner notes describe the song as "...engagingly captur[ing] the spirit of the genre through uplifting lyrics tightly fused with dazzling synth work".
