"Paradise" is a 1962 single by The Temptations for the Gordy label. The single is notable for being The Temptations' first charting single on the Billboard Pop charts. However, it was not their first on the Hot 100 (that honor would go to the group’s later single, "The Way You Do the Things You Do"), instead it charted at 22 on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 charts.[1][2]
