Paris Grey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paris Grey (born Shanna Jackson, November 5, 1965, in Glencove, Illinois) is an American singer, most known for her work with the Detroit based, techno music producer Kevin Saunderson, as Inner City. The group found international crossover success in the late 1980s with a mixture of solid electronic beats, sweeping synthetic strings and Paris' soulful vocals on tracks such as "Good Life", "Big Fun", and "Ain't Nobody Better".
Grey shared vocal assignments with Saunderson's wife Ann on three Inner City albums, a Detroit Techno compilation, and an extended mix collection of Inner City tracks. A notable project for Grey prior to joining Inner City was the Chicago House 12-inch club hit "Don't Make Me Jack (Tonite I Wanna House You)" on Housetime Records.
