1: Paul King (Early 70's [skiffle] revival musician)
2: Paul King (musician, VJ)
3: Paul King (UK Hard House producer)
1. Paul King (born January 9, 1948, Dagenham, UK), was a member of Mungo Jerry between 1970 and 1972. He contributed occasional lead vocals, and played acoustic guitar (6 and 12 string), banjo, harmonica, kazoo and jug. His songs on the first Mungo Jerry album and on the early maxi-singles were generally more folksy and lighter in style than those of group leader Ray Dorset, and he was frustrated when his own songs were constantly rejected for subsequent albums.
On the second album, ''Electronically Tested'', his composition "Black Bubonic Plague" appeared on European copies only, but not on the United Kingdom release. He wrote the song "Hey Rosalyn" on "You Don't Have to In The Army", Mungo's third album. King recorded a solo album, ''Been in the Pen Too Long'' in 1972, and left Mungo Jerry shortly afterwards.
He and the group’s keyboard player Colin Earl (born 6 May 1942, Hampton) formed the King Earl Boogie Band with guitarist Dave Lambert, bassist Russell John Brown and washboard player Joe Rush, who had been a part-time Mungo member. Their album ''Trouble at Mill'' was well reviewed, but a single "Plastic Jesus" was banned by the BBC on grounds of blasphemy. The group disbanded a few months later, and Lambert later joined Strawbs.
King then pursued a solo career, releasing occasional records under the names P. Rufus King and D’Jurann D’Jurann (no connection with the British group Duran Duran), as well as under his usual name.
King and Earl later formed Skeleton Krew, though in the 1990s they reverted to the name of King Earl Boogie Band. King retired to Cornwall in 1996, though since then he has occasionally joined his colleagues and former members for one-off gigs, sometimes under the name Skeleton Krew or Skeleton Crew.
2. Paul King (born 20 November 1961) is an English singer and VJ.
After graduating from Coventry Drama School, King considered joining the West Midlands Police, but joined rock-ska band, The Reluctant Stereotypes. The band - which also contained record producer Paul Sampson - released an album and three singles in the early 1980s on the back of Coventry's vibrant 2 Tone ska scene.[1]
After the demise of The Reluctant Stereotypes, King formed The Raw Screens who perfected their act and style to what King and his manager Perry Haines called 'multi-tone',' and then in 1983 relaunched the group as self-named 1980s band King.[2] As lead singer, King was famed for his cockatoo haircut and spray painted Doc Marten's Boots - a look described "like the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. But, hell, the girls loved him;"[3] while Burgess produced and drummed on most of the band's songs.
The band King lasted just over one year, and Paul King went solo with a 1987 album entitled Joy, produced by the American Dan Hartman.[1] It produced the UK Singles Chart minor hit single, "I Know."[1]
After an unsuccessful solo career, King became a VJ on MTV in 1989 before moving over to VH1, and then became known for his infomercials on 1980s collection albums. He is mostly remembered for MTV's Greatest Hits and 120 Minutes programmes.
Follow My Heart
Paul King Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
walking up and down
waiting for the day to end
before we start another round... once again
In my dreams I often wake up
miles away it's no mistake
I follow my heart, follow my heart again
because I follow my heart, follow my heart again
Respect or envy you make your choice
play blatant or play meek
'll catch you Friday the just got by day
the weekend starts about half past ten
once again
In my dreams I often wake up
miles away it's no mistake
Because I follow my heart, follow my heart again
I follow my heart, follow my heart again
because I follow my heart, follow my heart again
When you're lost and at a crossroad
no direction uneasy, you have your intuition
for your reason and feelin'
what you feel inside your soul
that's your instinct and meanin'
no one knows you better so follow your heart
it's your conscience on the pillow so follow your heart
The lyrics of Paul King's "Follow My Heart" talk about the feeling of being trapped in a cycle of mundane routine and the urge to break free from it by following one's own heart.

Overall, the lyrics of "Follow My Heart" convey a message of breaking free from the monotony of life and trust one's heart to find the right path to follow.
Line by Line Meaning
It's that Sunday mornin' feelin'
The feeling of anticipation before starting a new week
walking up and down
Restlessly pacing around
waiting for the day to end
Looking forward to being done with the day
before we start another round... once again
Before repeating the same routine for another week
In my dreams I often wake up
A common experience of waking up in dreams
miles away it's no mistake
Being transported to a different place in the dream
Because I follow my heart, follow my heart again
Making choices based on instincts and intuition
Respect or envy you make your choice
Choosing between respect and envy towards others
play blatant or play meek
Choosing between being bold and assertive or passive and submissive
'll catch you Friday the just got by day
Friday, the end of the work week
the weekend starts about half past ten
The start of weekend activities in the evening
When you're lost and at a crossroad
When faced with an important decision
no direction uneasy, you have your intuition
Feeling lost, but having an instinctual sense of what to do
for your reason and feelin'
Using rational thought and emotions to guide decision-making
what you feel inside your soul
The inner voice or conscience that guides us
that's your instinct and meanin'
Following our instincts gives our lives meaning
no one knows you better so follow your heart
Trusting oneself above all others
it's your conscience on the pillow so follow your heart
The guiding voice inside of us, even in our moments of vulnerability
