Yeah he returned in the 1979-80 season. He was only brought back because Sherman Hemsley ran into Him somewhere and they started talking and Sherman told the producers that Mike would like to return.

He left because he felt his role became too small on the show.

and I am guessing that he completely retired from show business, which is a shame, because he was a talented actor...and here is another question that you can answer for me...was Michael Evans named after Mike, since he was the co-creator of Good Times?

Could have been. I know his name was supposed to be Michael Black originally on the show. The Black Family. James Black, Florida, and Thelma Black. The first last name was black but it was changed to Evans.

I was always wondering about that Did they ever mentioned Michael's middle name on Good Times?

I don't think Michael's middle name was ever mentioned but he sure had plenty of nicknames-lol

I was surprised that he was actually a pretty good vocalist. He sings in one of the first season Jeffersons episodes. He retired completely from show business to become a farmer in upstate NY.

Are you sure you are not confusing him with Damon Evans? He was the one with the musical theater backround. I don't believe that Mike Evans ever sang.

Mike sings a jazz styled tune in a scene in Charlie's Bar in Jenny's Low, which was the last episode in year 1. I know Damon is an opera singer in Europe.
