João Simão da Silva (21 January 1945 – 24 October 2024), known professionally as Marco Paulo, was a Portuguese singer and television presenter.

In 1980, he released one of his biggest hits, "Eu Tenho Dois Amores," which sold over 150,000 copies and achieved triple gold status, a rare feat in Portuguese music at the time.

The 1980s also saw success with songs like "Dono Do Meu Coração," "Joana," "Sonho Tropical," "Sempre Que Brilha o Sol," "Anjo Azul," and "Quando o Pai Cantava."

That same year, he released Amor Total, an album that included tracks such as "Enganas-me e Eu Gosto," "Amante, Irmão, Amigo," "Perco a Cabeça," "Meu Querido Rio," and "Coração Deserto."

In 1996, he underwent two operations for cancer, but returned the following year with Reencontro, an album produced by Emanuel, a notable figure in Portuguese Pimba music.
