Paul David Heaton (born May 9, 1962) is an English born singer and songwriter. He was a member of The Beautiful South, and a former member of indie band The Housemartins, who disbanded in 1988.

Paul Heaton formed The martins in the early 1980s. The Housemartins released a number of singles and two studio albums, London 0 Hull 4 and The People Who Grinned Themselves to Death. Their most famous hit was an a-capella version of the Isley Brothers’ Caravan of Love, which was a Christmas number one in the UK.

In 1988, Paul Heaton formed The Beautiful South from the ashes of The Housemartins. The Beautiful South released two top ten singles, Song for Whoever and You Keep It All In, which featured Irish singer Briana Corrigan on vocals. In 1989, the band released an album “Welcome to the Beautiful South” by which time Corrigan had joined the band as a full time member. The band’s biggest success to date is the release of the single “A Little Time” in 1991. It reached number 1 on the charts. In 1993 the band released their third album, “0898 Beautiful South”.

In 1994, Briana Corrigan left the band and a new female vocalist, Jacqui Abbott, was brought in. During the recording of the band’s fourth album “Miaow”, Heaton was increasingly irritated with the band and at one time told them to get their act together or he would leave. “Miaow” is some of Heaton’s most depressing songwriting (only their fifth studio album, “Blue Is The Colour”, is considered sadder). Heaton was going through a break-up with his girlfriend and other problems at the time.
