Paul Janz (born in 1951 in Three Hills, Alberta, Canada and raised in Basel, Switzerland) is a Canadian singer/songwriter and musician best known for the hits Every Little Tear, Close My Eyes, Stand, I Won't Cry and many others. He began his music career in the 70s with his brothers in a band called Deliverance, who are best remembered for the hit "Leaving LA" released in 1979. In 1984, he launched his solo career and despite achieving great success in Canada, he failed to make it in the United States and hasn't released any new material since 1992. Presently at King's College, London, he formerly taught philosophy at Trinity Western University in Langley, British Columbia and has recently written a book entitled God, the Mind's Desire : Reference, Reason and Christian Thinking [1] published by Cambridge University Press. In 2004, Paul's first album High Strung was re-released on CD for the first time by Escape Music in the UK.
