Paul Antony Young [4] [5] (born 17 January 1956) [6] is an English musician, singer and songwriter. No Parlez is the debut solo studio album by English singer Paul Young. Released in 1983, it reached number one on the UK Albums Chart (for a non-consecutive total of 5 weeks) and remained in the UK Top 100 for 119 weeks. [4] The album has been certified quadruple platinum by the BPI for UK sales in excess of 1.2 million copies. [5] Also, around this time, Paul responded to the hiatus in his career by calling up friends and suggesting they get together in an informal group, simply for fun. The result was a loosely styled Tex-Mex band, Los Pacaminos. More of this comes later. It was after the release of Between Two Fires when Paul decided to take a break from the dizzying whirr of an international pop career and a fairly solid itinerary that had barely seen him enjoy a day off since 1982. He’d moved out to Los Angeles and married his longtime girlfriend, model Stacey Smith, in November 1987.Hits of the World – Italy – Top Pop Albums" (PDF). Billboard. 22 December 1984. p.TA–12 .

Talking about The Congregation’s 1971 hit, Paul explains: “ Softly Whispering was one of those one-hit-wonder songs like Yesterday Has Gone by Cupid’s Inspiration and I’d always fancied trying it. I always earmarked every song I covered, although I was talked into Oh Girl by the record company. I’d originally thought it was a great song for a live encore, but a bit of a cop-out for a single.” Paul’s Tex-Mex troopers Los Pacaminos started out as a hobby band but have now been together for nearly three decades
