This was unusual in the sense that Billy Paul was, not only, older than your usual pop star, he was, primarily, a Jazz artist. The song was HUGE. Another fine Gamble-Huff jam.
@@Dabridge4009 It was just a song, probably given to him by the writer. Most songs were just that, a song, but a good one & realistic. I couldn’t believe he could sing while smoking. 😂😂 💜☮️
Billy Paul had been around for a long time. singing since he was a child and recording at the age of 16 performing with the likes of Charlie Parker and Miles Davis. His big hit came with Me and Mrs. Jones , I love that song. Do love buddies, Let’s make a baby and the very important song for civil rights called, Let “em” in. I forgot to mention that he and Marvin Gaye were lifelong friends.
You guessed right. They are not supposed to having a thing going on with each other. Do a reaction to The Manhattan called "Kiss and Say Goodbye ". Another smooth song about a forbidden love affair. Both people in this song have obligations that make it difficult to keep seeing one another.
Billy Paul was definitely a smooth cat! You are right, both he and Mrs. Jones are married to other people! However, that was no blunt in his mouth - it was a cigarette in a then popular cigarette holder! You owe it to yourself to also check out the version of "Me And Mrs. Jones" by The Dramatics (on Soul Train), which was also a big hit, in which they added four part harmony to this solo song! Other outstanding cuts by Billy Paul include "When Love is New", "Am I Black Enough For You", "Let 'Em In", "It's Too Late" and the lengthy "I'm Just A Prisoner."
@@Dabridge4009 And, when you get the chance, please add "Let's Clean Up The Ghetto" by The Philadelphia International All Stars (Lou Rawls, Billy Paul, Archie Bell, Teddy Pendergrass, The O'Jays and De Dee Sharp) to your list. It is right up your alley!
This is wild! I have seen Billy on tv shows singing this song. Most likely he is lip sincing and he definitely not playing that piano lol. But he is indeed pimping that blunt and the hat.

Same with Lou Rawls. They both made the transition through the Philly sound.
Wow , what a great "slow dance" back in my day and even today

Check out Billy Preston with Nothing From Nothing. Fire!
@@RichardVernadeau another one noted....I heard that name before but not that song...but I got it. Thanx
Great song , one of my favorites. Darryl Hall of Hall and Oates did an incredible cover also.
@@markos_vault I think I heard of them.....sound familiar.
Yea she’s the other woman. Meeting her in different place so they don’t get caught
@@569tommydee I figured that....but he smooth...is that like his only song?
@@Dabridge4009 that was his biggest hit but not his only record
This is one of those songs that you just love, but you kinda hate yourself for loving it because of what he's saying.
@@ejtappan1802 😂😂😂 I hear you ..I'm married so I know what you mean ..
Check out “Let ‘Em’ In” by Billy Paul…it’s a great great jam.
@@peterhudgens8817 Got it!
The Dramatics also did an awesome version of this song. Some like theirs better!
You have to hear theirs too! They, somehow, added four part harmony to their version!
@@themajicman745 Then I gotta check it out
@@Dabridge4009 Try the live version from Soul Train if you can.
@@themajicman745 I watched it afterward. Tried to do it but copyright block on the soul train one by Philly international...
If she's Mrs. Jones there's a Mr. Jones. She's Mrs. Jones (married) not Miss Jones (single)!
@@edwardbardlett6943 ahhh lol....dam dirty lol
I think he's smoking a cigarillo/tiparillo or a cigarette he rolled up himself, but not cigaweed.
@@shannonk.moorer9158 lol ok....got it
