In 1986, Meli’sa Morgan released Fool’s Paradise, a deeply soulful R&B single with a danceable groove that would resonate far beyond its chart impact. For the black queer clubgoing community of London—particularly in Soho, Earl’s Court and the emergent gay nightlife of the time—the track offered both a sonic moment and a cultural touchstone.
