If you recognise the name Mica Paris it's most likely through her TV and radio work, both as presenter and actress, but all that came after a successful career as a singer. From her debut in 1988 through to the mid-2000s, Paris dropped seven studio albums and a Best Of, exploring a blend of pop, soul, R&B and gospel and spawning a long list of chart-invading singles. 

One of her many soul anthems was her debut single "My One Temptation", taken from the So Good album of the same year. Take a look at her performance on Top Of The Pops from that year and pretty soon you'll realise you've heard this one a lot already. Dig deeper into her extensive catalogue and you'll soon notice the same can be said of a lot of her releases.

Though she still performs regularly today, Paris eventually moved into presenting in the early 2000s with Soul Solutions on Radio 2, which kickstarted a career of documentary making, radio shows and TV appearances, most notably with her Channel 4 doc The Gospel Of Gospel, where she looked at the influence of the church on music.
