Paul Johnson had been recruited to Paradise when the London Gospel funk group was on a tour of the North of England. At the time Johnson was singing as a member of a Seventh Day Adventist choir, and noted for his high falsetto "in a style not dissimilar to Earth, Wind & Fire's Philip Bailey". He was recruited to share lead vocals with Paradise's Doug Williams and featured on all three of the band's albums. In 1986 Johnson attracted the enthusiastic attention of Paul Weller. His concerts on the London Gospel circuit led to a recording contract and his self-titled first album with CBS. His 1989 second album Personal received favourable reviews in the Jazz and Soul press, but failed to make impact commercially charting at number 10 for 1 week on the album chart.
