Johnny 'Guitar' Watson

Supreme soul maven Avery Sunshine is back with another round of good music. Releasing her latest single, “Call My Name,” the songstress will have you asking your lover, “What’s my name?!”
Set to be featured on her upcoming album, The SunRoom, the song speaks on a love the seems to have gone astray. Cooing out, “When was the last time you heard me call you sweet darling? And when was the last time I heard you say, ‘hey baby’?” Avery will have you yearning for more with her sultry vocals.
While her album may not hit stores until May 27, Avery is preparing for her North American tour that kicks off in Atlanta on April 26. Serving as a follow-up to her debut album that premiered four years go, The SunRoom is sure to be a masterpiece.

Happy birthday to Mica Paris today! Paris' roots are in soul and gospel music. She grew up singing in her grandparents' church and by her mid teens was making regular appearances with 'The Spirit of Watts' gospel choir (with whom she featured on the 1985 EP Gospel Joy). She abbreviated her forename to Micha, before adopting a "phonetic version". At the age of seventeen, she got her first break as a backing vocalist with the UK band Hollywood Beyond. Paris appeared on their album, If (1985).
In 1988, she released her debut, platinum-selling album So Good with 4th & Broadway when she was 19 years old. "My One Temptation" was the lead single. This led to a collaboration with American soul singer Will Downing on a cover version of a classic "Where Is the Love", made famous by Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack in the early 1970s.
