Mica Paris - My One Temptation

[Ellasings7]

this use to be my high school jam. The 80's was the best of

everything!. Real music, singers and entertainers. Lot's of

fun and meaning.. Today's music is so lame!

[soongoon31]

this is special

[70sbaby80schild321]

I was 11 when this came out in 1988. I used to hear this back in Phillly on Power 99FM.

[felicitavita]

[Eurafrican]

wow can't believe this was now 21- Mica looks more or less the same!!

[keithespin]

Got to hand it to the Brits! Late 80's/early 90's British R&B music was awesome: Mica Paris, Soul II Soul, Lisa Stansfield, etc...Awesome

[gmccall22]

LOOSE ENDS TOO

[fitsmiler1]

old skool classic

[MoonLioness25]

[KOMET2006]

First became acquainted with this beautiful song via Radio Antilles back in 1988. Love it as much now as I did then.

[magsmb]

This a feel good song! It makes you optimistic about life!!! Health and Happiness to everyone!

[briansky10]

A most heartfelt, feel good song by a beautiful singer.

[aunaturelme]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!! I'm the only one in my group who's even heard of her lol!!!!

[GlenFerrisMusic]

Have a sing along then!!...type in Mica Paris - My One Temptation - Backing Track by Glen Ferris (original key) into youtube and you'll get my backing track..

[MrMonsoonMike]

Funny comments guys. Heard this in a toilet at the mall. Heard this in an airport. Both comments are true! Why is it that music like this is only heard over those strange muzak systems at clothing stores, etc. THIS is music. There is a college radio station near me that actually plays this. Yes, a college radio station!

[CatchingFeelings]

damn!

haven't heard this cut in major years.

bet!

[npflate]

Until my local smooth jazz station started playing this, I forget how good this song was. Beautiful song and beautiful lady singing it.

[papalolita]

I heard this at a toilet in a mall.

[suedee100]

Love it....was in high school too when this song came out.

[thecj29]

Sounds like porno music

[quirpco]

This is a great song. For a long time I've wanted to know the artist and title. Strangely, I never heard this song on the radio - only over the music systems of clothing stores, supermarkets and airport terminals.

[Q88D]

I love this SONG it make me feel good...she can sing lol

[bethomas35]

I feel so young when I hear this song. Sophomore/Junior year of high school.... back when I didn't know sh*t.

[frederickstudent]

so sensual! wow loved this one

[teacherisin]

I love Mica Paris. I believe that she could have had a serious fan base here in the US, but you guys are right - Sade was too strong and had the right management, publicist and agents backing her. I' d love to see her again.

[bigzizzo]

this was my girlfriends favorite song twenty years ago when we were in high school. we reunited and now we are getting married 20 years later.

[barrylynnbolton]

Mica Paris, is perhaps, one of Britain's most underrated singers of the late 80's. Sadly, this holds true for Shara Nelson, Shola Ama, Dina Carrol and Beverely Knight also! They are virtually unknown here! So Sad!!!!

[venicefrog]

Mica played a Boston club in the early days and came out to hang with the fans after the performance. She was such a total sweetheart. I loved her music thenand have stuck by her ever since. Her Soul album is fantastic..

[Zeebo89]

I always loved Mica but back in the days I always thought she was a Canadian Indian lol

[chrisporter61]

After 20 years I'm still sulking and pouting that this song didnt go all the way to #1...."My One Temptation" has sort of a "Herb Albert Sergio Mendes Brasillia 66 from the late 60s" feel to it....either way...this song is a WINNER!!!!!!

[ronfatherof4]

I agree. This speaks to so many on many different levels. Hope she tours the US or Canada. What a special talent.

[bethomas35]

Herb Alpert, Sergio Mendes; I would never have thought to describe this song that way. Well said, my friend.

[TyjaluvsChaka]

Yeah she was seriously messing with Sade.I use to live for Mica.A very Chakafied Sade!

[ladytwelve724]

omg this song/video brought me back i forgot all about mica and i used to love the hell out of this song.. dang

[DetroitD60]

My girl! Gone Mica!!!

[vaniti06]

OMG, who is that FINE ass man?

[soongoon31]

i like this one

[ronfatherof4]

What a wonderful song. Love her voice and that she is making new music. Hope she tours US and Canada....I think I'm in love....again....

[me6jusme]

This song bring's back some "good time" memories. Man I wish I could go back! MICA=Beautiful Amazon Goddess

[corey84douglass]

reminds me of a young phyllis hyman...& she is sexy!

[DJSMASH797]

she is sooooo sexy to me!!!

I loved her!!!

and the song is cool too

lol

[rstar2008]

I just discovered today that UK R&B Diva Mica Paris ORIGINALLY RECORDED " MOVE ON MY HEART " which R&B American Diva Tamia remade into a hit years later!

[twilliger123]

You mean which Tamia RUINED....that will always be Mica's song, much better and non-overproduced and screechy!!!!!

[Ladysugarshaft]

I adore this song....brings back LOVIN' memories.

'88/89 GREAT years 4 me;-)

[313BigDaddy]

OHHHH This was my song back in the day....She was SOOOO FINE to me!!!!

[YTwatcher38]

I always thought i was the only American down with this when it first came out.I was BIG on the British R&B 90s music. Black Britain stays true to American roots of soul even when we fuckin up!

[chaliceofchange]

I agree!! Soul is universal. SHe is a gem in music. But the industry takes them young and strips them down to nothing to turn them out.

[gun15509]

For real!!!! I agree with you on that one!!!! I mean, you have to give it up to the UK brothers & sisters over there. The UK has produce over the past 25 years, great artist & groups like Mica Paris, Sade, Billy Ocean, Loose Ends, Soul II Soul, Five Star, Seal just to name a few. They definitely stay true to the roots of soul music. Today's American music artist are just plain pathetic to me! Their all about image, hype, stirring up beef, causing controversy and other supeficial bullshit.

[YTwatcher38]

She almost stole me away from Sade back then.HA!But Sade made "love is stronger than pride" and "gift of life",and fucked my world up again.LOL

[pimppolice1986]

true that.. these days, its about rims, money,gold grills, womens,

[darkesthourglass]

I didn't know she was British but the UK put out some of the best R&B music back in the day, too. I saw this video on VH1 Soul a couple of years ago for the first time in many years. Looks like all we got now is Youtube, VH1 Soul, and Classic for the old school videos and old VHS tapes.

[Aliceinwebland]

choooooooooooon

[gussetgravey]

i love dis tune wiv all my heart seriously memory fuckin lane!!

[68philewest]

sing it,sing it, to me Mica I love you This woman is bad asssssssssss she want to be.

[gmccall22]

the U.K. put a choke hold on the r&b , soul and pop game. you guys are awesome

[karonG1]

One of the first ladys of Black Briish RnB still loving her. . .

[pepperpod1]

love this song! thanx for posting it !

[skishred12]

Great summertime song...smooth!

[Sharkface911]

We all love Mica - I grew up with her in England - not literally but musically - she was one of my good pals

[vyw01267]

この曲約20年前に喫茶店で流れていたのを店員さんに聞いて曲名­教えてもらいました。当時、衝撃をうけましたが改めてきいても良­いですね。

[me6jusme]

Das da shiz, whats it sa?

[Cos8712]

I used to love these types of videos with the "pretty" boy in them.

[darkesthourglass]

Haha! I remember those "pretty boy" videos, they were nice to look at. Now a days they're more into trying to look hard and gangsta to be pretty. I suppose they did the same thing when they'd put a hot woman in videos for the male artists, too.

[artisan06]

When I first heard this song in Record store in the U.S., I thought it was Natalie Cole. However after listening to the entire CD, I noticed she has a style that is missing within today's music. To sum it up; this sista can sing her butt off!

[tlofee]

Mica Paris,Soul 2 soul ,and loose Ends were the flagship artists of Brit soul.They layed down the foundation for artists like Floetry,Estelle,and my personal favorite The Brand New Heavies.All of them from the past to the present,are incredible artists.

[tanyatmr]

Don't forget Princess "Say I'm Your Number One" and the group Central Line "Walking into Sunshine". I just finished watching the video Say I'm Your Number One and someone mentioned Mica; I forgot about her.

[EdieCiaoBaby]

Love this song! Just recently ordered the CD off amazon. This song brings back good memories! The late 80's was a lot of fun!

[mittoesque]

my dad said the very same thing

AMBI912

[ambi912]

Jazmine Sullivan reminds me of her

[musicalone8123]

love this song and still play it. have it on my smooth jazz and "best songs ever" lists on my mp3 players!

[clgil77]

She kind of sings and looks like Alicia Meyers from One Way

[miami383]

Oh my God! I love this song so much.  I miss the 80's! This song makes me long for those days!

[picposter67]

I fall in love with Mica Paris when I first heard this song and saw this video. I thought she was going to be a big star. However, this song and her career never really made it to star status.

[TyjaluvsChaka]

I did too but Sade got in her way the same way Madonna got in the way of Cyndii lauper & Shannon

[Kallytom]

What a song!!

[markc930]

saw mica in ilford east london was brill.

[6ft6cutie]

1987... Wow, I was crazy about this song and going insane over Mica! Brings back nice memories.

[zingybingy]

mica paris is my est friendz cousin

[playguitarbill]

I loved and still love this song and Mica Paris. I only hate the m----------r I dedicated my life to with this song!!!

[nellymarie1]

Yeah its a proper tune! Same as lachantneko but kisses with boys

[fitz3169]

i Wish I was 19 again

[lachatneko]

I havent heard this song for yearssss!!..Brings back thoughts of summer breaks,pool party,car rides with friends,first girlfriends,first kisses,,, uhh so yummy,, Being young,,er lol..And my still "one temptaion" lovely LaTanya K.T

[lavverlylad]

Stunning woman - still is!

[theresacoots]

omg mica, you were never recognised in this country for the talent that you are..... amazing!!! i so wish this country wouls wake up and see u for what u r . i love your talent x

[blackaneeese]

i remember this video got alotta play...my moms loved this song. this song aint too bad...typical late 80s R&B

[tcidolfan]

I've been looking for that song like FOREVER!!!!!!! WOW!!!!! They don't make songs like this anymore!!!

[horus1971]

u. k. black!

[MadOnLiving]

Mica Paris is probably one of the best singers to ever come out of the UK. This song is on eof my all time favourites. Timeless style and elegance. Bring back music like this!!!

[jambry3]

Oh so 80's. She was one of the reason why I wanted to go to the UK. I loved the black british music like her, soul ii soul, loose ends and omar.

[cashelblue90]

a classic tune from the eighties that hold its own even now

[s42elle42]

She was on Loose women either today or the other day..can't remember now!

Anyway, i'm pretty sure she said she was making a new album.

[Specialdark23]

Nice song and video.

[luvcam1975]

This is really a great tune by Mica. What ever happend to this very talented lady?

[Hellohello2008]

Went to see her at concert at the O2 amazing!!

[KirstieKalachoe]

You can look you can touch? Is that right? What's in it for the catholics?

[maingee]

This is a great song that brings back so many memories.

[wisenatts]

The British Record Industry has a habit of ignoring its Black artists. She had the potential to be a star but sadly, like so many others, she wasn't given the exposture she deserves. She must have been really young when she made this record. She continues to sing and also present. Thanks for posting this video.

[downtwothenleft]

I totally agree with you. Mica should have been as big a world star as Whitney Houston. Instead she presents shows on TV like "What not to wear". For Gods sake!

[youmustbemyluckystar]

This song has happy memories for me......

[14321mdh]

me- freshmen her- jr, she say's "you are my one temptation" always think of her when i hear this song thx for post

[eyelashwine]

She has such a voice ! Happy to have seen her live too ! She is every month at ronniescott's London in live.

[Homejazz]

Watashi wa ga sukidesu, i like, me gusta

[goodrobby]

Simply Superb....

[sexybodydarla]

[dlewis18]

Wow this brings me back to 1989. The time was just incredible. I wouldnt change a thing about growing up back then. The music, the love, everything!!!!

[youmustbemyluckystar]

I agree!

We had the BEST music back in the 80's.

I love this song......

[DeejayLarz2006]

wow I remember this song! holy crap that takes me way back! :) ...I love how they post all of these 80s classics, keep it up!

[funkkid3007]

she is so sexy

[spreadingcolor]

sweet and sultry voice. marvelous singer!

[OTIE1121]

Yes!!

This was my song back in the day!

(LOL) I never knew who sang it until i happen to hear it on the radio the other day!

[coldasiice]

Im 30 year old man but you took me back to the fifth grade,(Sigh) U nearly got me in tears THANK YOU!

[LoveEleese]

OMG!!! I use to love this song and video! I remember when they use to play music like this on BET & MTV. But now, You can't pay them to play good music (Mica, Swing Out Sisters, Incognito, Lisa Stansfield, Maysa Leak, Brand New Heavies) & many more. Thanks for the video, it brings back so many good memories.

[facefavour]

Yeah i remember all those guy's, do you remember kenny thomas? he was cool too. And scritti politti?

[mancson]

You can't beat the good old sounds . . . .

[tyres911]

i really love this song ;-) but i never knew an artist who recorded 3 videos for the same song ;-) this video is different from the mtv base version, and the deluxe music version too!

[dondev54]

Bought her album (budget price) on the strength of this gorgeous song. But as with so many times before, it was the only perfect song on the album. But then again, one perfect song can make you immortal!

[jhanlon18]

Sexy song! Really gets me in the mood this xxx

[classy1973]

LOVE MICA PARIS...FOREVER MY SONG!!

[jmbowona]

I agree 100% it was the good old days..

[facefavour]

By far the u.k's best singer!! better than all this shit that's around now. No one can really sing these day's i mean really sing. She has such a husky voice she sounds so smocky!!

[eiderduck2]

[CastlesandMansions]

My Jam!!

[faustopapetti]

I love You Mica!

[shaneezzz]

great song but breath life into me was soooo much better

[Funkycraze]

Somebody tell me, would we ever go back to good music or are we bound to remain in this rubbish! they play on the radio, where are the real producers and artist who just produce for the love of music and arts!! check this song out, even the years can't take its orignality and beauty, would you guys come back to your source!! Let's keep soul music alive

[BBBT07]

[soulofmusiq]

[cabeef]

A simply stunning pop/soul single - one of the best of te 80s - if you haven't danced to the BRUCE FORREST U.S. REMIX, you haven't lived.

[RianTrace84]

Will everyone else stop watching it, so that I can! I`m tired of watching that stupid swirly thing.

[chakasmoothjazz]

[littlenige]

Bring back the 80's!!!!! Fantastic stuff. Thanks for singing Mica.

[Rasprogress]

Once upon a time, music was music...Love this song and moment of reminiscing. Times sure have changed.
