Niecy, doing what she does best:
Take my dreams, childish and weak at the seams
Please don't analyze, please just be there for me

Back when we all though Will Downing was gonna be the next big soul superstar, she and him had a duet with this cover of a Roberta Flack/Donny Hathaway cover:

Her first album was such a huge smash hit that her sophomore effort saw contributions by the likes of Bobby Womack and ... Prince. The album was aptly titled Contribution.

Her next album was a pretty slick affair, with the likes of Narada Michael Walden and Rod Temperton producing, the latter offering Mica this composition years before Quincy Jones and Tamia made it a hit in the US:

Mica chose to become a little more "street" soon after, and covered this U2 song years before Mary J. Blige had a hit with a very similar version:
In the past decade, the decline of the recording industry has led to very little new music by Ms. Paris. Her last album of new material was in 2009, followed by a long hiatus and an Ella Fitzgerald tribute album in 2017. Paris continues to perform in concert and has been touring with the musical "Fame" in the role made famous by Debbie Allen in the movie and TV series.

Ah. Looks like Paul got more than the temp ban. As far as this thread goes he was a heavy, hipped me to some shit I didn't know at times and I feel like I have a passing knowledge of all of it. Pour out a lil' liquor.
