Overview
Desiree Heslop (born 27 November 1961), best known as Princess, is a British singer who found chart success in the mid-1980s. In the early 1980s, she worked with the group Osibisa. She is best known for her hit single "Say I'm Your Number One" which made the UK Top Ten in 1985.
Career
Before going solo, she was a backing vocalist for the band Osibisa in the early 1980s. She recorded sessions on the Brilliant album Kiss The Lips of Life, which brought her to the attention of producers Stock, Aitken and Waterman (SAW).
Her debut solo album Princess (1986) was composed and produced by SAW which contained the hit single, "Say I'm Your Number One". Despite SAW's initial reservations about committing to a follow-up to that hit, an album was produced that spawned five charting singles, and was certified silver in the UK.
The relationship between the artist and her brother/manager Donovan (Don) Heslop, and SAW and their allied label Supreme Records, began to decline following the underperformance of her fourth single with the producers, "Tell Me Tomorrow". The discord accelerated with her disillusionment over being excluded from input into mixes for their final single together, "In The Heat of A Passionate Moment."
