Paul Parker is a Hi-NRG and dance singer born in San Francisco, California. His biggest success came in the eighties, when he reached #1 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart twice: "Right on Target" in 1982,[1] which was written and produced by Patrick Cowley, who also produced Parker's 1983 debut album Too Much To Dream.[2] ). "Shot In the Night"[3] was the second single to be released from the album. Paul Parker also did a rendition of Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time" (1985), and released another single entitled "One Look (One Look Was Enough)" in 1987. He continued in the 1990s with a string of additional dance covers. In 2007 he began a collaboration with UTMOSIS, a San Francisco-based label, thus far producing the worldwide digital single releases "Just Hold On To Love" (2007), "Don't Stop (What You're Doin' To Me)" (2008) and "Chargin' Me Up" (2009). In 2008, he recorded a duet with the synthpop band Ganymede, "Perfect Target," which appears on the band's LP "Operation Ganymede."
Paul's first full-length album of original material in over a decade, "Take It From Me", was released January 26, 2010 on the UTMOSIS label.
