Watching you kids hearing these songs for the first time is almost like hearing them for the first time ourselves The seventies was truly magical Ya’ll should have been there with us
Agree! Makes me feel good that they appreciate good music. This is a classic and never gets old!!
Greetings from Germany. I’m feeling like I’m 18 again ❤
Amen to that, 🙏!!!!!!
Nothing can match the music of the 70’s! Fun watching you hear it for the first time!
They need a lava lamp when listening to songs like this
The most beautiful song about adultery ever written.
😂
I was just thinking that same thing…. A song about cheating, with that said, it’s a great song
@@jameswinston5512 OK I'm guilty 😐
OMG! I'm back in 1972 and a junior in high school! No cell phones, no social media, just my FM radio and great muic! What a wonderful time to be alive in that decade!
I struggle to believe anyone has not heard this song already, it is a timeless classic
I thought the same but must admit I never heard many modern songs that can be so obvious for today young ppl
There is so many reasons why young people didn’t hear that song. I myself know of this song because my father only played light FM on the car radio,and if you are first generation American, you may not this song either,just saying
The summer of extramarital affairs, Billy Paul's Me and Mrs Jones. and Luther Ingram's If Loving You Is Wrong in the charts at the same time.
I've had a share of ladies that belonged to other men come on to me And I could never bring myself to have affairs with them but, I suppose I did through these two songs you mentioned.
Was thinking the same thing, Luther Ingram's , zif loving you is wrong, I don't want to be right
All I gotta say is I feel sorry for the People they are cheating on....It's called adultery which is sin...so I couldn't bring myself to glorify the 2 songs !
Yessssss, so good and smooth. Love both to this day. R.I.P Billy and Luther
Yes cheating was the thing
When I was in HS (mid 70’s), my girlfriends last name was Jones. I would start singing this to her mom and she’d laugh and tell me to go away.
😂
Awesome story. Reminds me of the good old days.
I was Mrs Jones, back then, and I hated this song's lyrics. The music is beautiful, but a little mellow for me.
You go, playah!😂
She must have thought of Mrs. Robinson and creeped out a bit. Too funny! Great memory.
The string parts in this song are legendary. It's an absolutely stunning arrangement. Not a false note in the whole thing. 100% pure-grade Philly Sound!
Yes, The Sound Of Philadelphia, Gamble and Huff
You are sooooooo right! A really stunning arrangement and production!! Such an emotionally stirring piece as far as musicianship.
You are so right. Not a false note. Nothing overdone either. Stunning. Even down to the snare drum sound. Brilliant. Imagine being in the recording studio with this team.
Gamble and Huff are such unparalleled arrangers on so many arrangements for so many artists it's utterly astonishing. Masters of their genre. Soul music set to a symphony seemingly and it always makes me dreamy
ginathegreat3858: You are so right !!
This was a trademark of the Philadelphia-International sound.
Then there is a vocal like this........
Listening to Billy Paul's voice is like bathing in warm molasses. Unbelievable, and sublime.
One of the greatest songs of all time! No lie, and Billy Paul just brought it all together with his vocals. This song in the 70s was off the charts and it’s still great all these years later. I also saw Billy Paul in person do this song in a nightclub in Boston in 1973, that was sensational… It was a birthday present from a dear friend and is this song takes a hold of you… multiple standing ovations
Us baby boomers had the greatest music. We came of age in the 50s-70s and saw it all and then we got the best of the 80s too.
What a beautiful example of 70’s production, those strings dipping in/out. The horns, the vocals the dynamics! ❤️✌️
Quintessential Philly Soul, perfect example of it. I always did wonder how they could meet at 6:30pm if they were married
The Philadelphia Sound never gets old.
@@xerxesalmighty9444 yep, so lush and beautiful, and well played. Guys were the "Pros" pros.
My wife and I used to play this song in the jukebox of our favorite restaurant every 2 weeks when we were 1st married for years until the restaurant closed. We're still married 43 years later.
I called my wife Mrs. Jones -why ? because we had a thing going on , she loved it . still brings a tear to my eye hearing it
That's beautiful.
Primo Philly Soul from 1972, "Me & Mrs. Jones" topped the Billboard Hot 100 Pop chart @ #1 for 3 weeks & the Billboard R&B/Soul chart @ #1 for 4 weeks. Billy Paul won a Grammy for R&B Male Vocal.
Absolutely just found a Philadelphia which was huge back in the 70s
@@blackprix Philadelphia took over from Motown (Detroit) as the new capitol of Soul/R&B in the early '70s, with an incredible stable of local and transplant artists whose lush music dominated the decade on the Pop and R&B charts.
I was 13 when I fell in love with this song, I'll be 61 in 8 days and I still love it
It's fun watching you guys react. Us older people know exactly what parts of all these classic songs are going to surprise you. It's like you guys opening gifts we've given you. The 70s were the best for these beautiful songs.
Such a great expression of honesty, accountability, yet guilt and shame.
A legendary song, so smooth and mellow. The nature of the relationship is that both are cheating on someone, but like the song says, "We got a thing goin' on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong To let it go now". There's SO much great soul music to explore from the 70's, so many great solo artists and groups, some of my favorite songs come from this era.
Sooo true!
One of my favorite songs ❤️🔥
You really have to listen to The Manhattans, Kiss and Say Goodbye. Now that's a song that will touch your heart.
My Dad, Mr. Jones, used to sing this to his wife to tease her.
Me and Mrs. Jones was Billy Paul's only #1 single on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The song was the top hit for three weeks in December 1972.
this song and Roberta Flack's Killing Me Softly made a huge impression on me as a young man growing up during the 70's... feeling the power of romance...whether fleeting or long term it's a life empowering feeling of emotions connecting...great reaction you two!
True, and I agree with you! : )
I was really young in the 70's, but I remember both of these songs, they really left a mark on a kid who had no idea what they were talking about. My favorite was probably Killing Me Softly
Great idea, I'm going to suggest her song "First time ever I saw your face!
@@kurtyoung6769 absoutly...my bad about not mentioning this gem...to me it's like hearing her singing a love lost in some smoky club at closing time...great song.
A timeless classic. will hold on for 200 years
Yeah, this song never disappoints. There were so many great songs like this in the 70's. You all got to get back with Tower of Power: "You're Still a Young Man" (It has probably the best trumpet intro and outro ever), "So Very Hard to Go", "Sparkling in the Sand"
I would add my vote for You're Still a Young Man
I would third this! I would love to see them react to that!
Billy Paul won a Grammy for his performance ,such a classic!!!!
Man, you guys are on FIRE tonight! Another one of the greatest from the 70s. I’ve waited FOREVER for your reaction to this. ( I think the only reason Billy Paul was able to make this song about adultery palatable was because they were holding hands in a cafe and not meeting in a tawdry hotel room. And of course, he makes it all terribly bittersweet and heartbreaking.)
Tender and honest!
Old school slow jam.....The '70's had quite a few of these gems.
Let's give a shout out to the musicians, especially the horn section, perfect locked into his voice. You know when they finished this session they knew the nailed it. You can't sample this, you can't fake this, sheer musicianship.
They all killed it. The entire session crew was just perfect. Absolute pros
Another Billy to check out is, Billy Vera and the Beaters’ “At this moment”. The story, vocals, and saxophone will break you
Yes, Another one of my favorites…😎
Good suggestion!👍
This is the song I chose (At this moment) when I proposed to my wife 35 yrs ago. Only later did I realize the song was about breaking up. Still a great lovers song that Jay and Amber would love
The song was a hit for a 2nd time when they used it on the tv show Family Ties
100 percent
Hall and Oates does a really good cover, as well. Can't beat the original, though! 😊
I love the Dramatic's cover of this song better than H&O's cover
Agree love the H&O cover as well as Our Day Will Come, Neither One Of Us & I'll Be Around, I'm such a huge fan. But always loved Billy Paul's 'original of this song.
Glad you guys liked it! This is another song from “The Sound of Philadelphia” (TSOB) label. Like, Teddy Pendergrass, The OJays, Lou Rawls, MFSB (The studio band behind them all!) and so many others. TSOB was the East Coast Motown!
I don’t know how you two stayed in your seats LOL People my age would have had to slow dance to this. I love your channel!
Had the privilege of being introduced to the man as he was chilling at a local club a few years back....before we lost him.
The epitome of cool R & B in the 70's. You could always hear someone playing this tune in our neighbourhood, as we ran the streets looking for empty soda pop bottles to cash in at the store, riding our Stingrays everywhere.
Hall & Oats did this too and they are both so good. My 4th grade teacher was named Mrs Jones and the suave music teacher would pass by the hall singing this and sounded just like him. Mrs Jones was a hippy and you could see her blush every time.
Omgosh, it's been decades since I last heard this but I remember every word and musical lick like it was still 1972. This song is what air-singing with a hairbrush in front of a full-length mirror was made for.
❤😂👏🏻right!??
💖 this reminded me of a Christmas party in the kitchen at a Golf club I had white, black, and Mexican cooks and they we're playing yelling at each other " You don't know nothing about Mrs Jones" and right before one of the last chorus I came out yelling shut up tired of you all yelling at each other and then the chorus started and I got down on my knees and started welling me and Mrs Jones and my whole crew lost it 🤣😂🤣😂
🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸 One of The greatest soul songs of all time. And from the 70s not the 60s!
Philly again J and Amber. I'm just finding all of yall Philly Soul reactions. I'm from Philly and this played EVERYWHERE when I was just a preschool girl. Its part the soundtrack of my youth.
Imagine hearing this song on the radio late evening. You are driving down rhe hiway, It's raining, cold, but on the radio, Billy Paul's voice warms you up like a hot toddy!!!!
Classic Old School Jam!
One of the biggest one-hit wonders of the 70s (Yes, he had a few other R&B hits, but nothing on the level of this one), and one that makes me groove five decades later! RIP Billy Paul (1934-2016) Also - have you noticed how many great singers named Billy there have been? Paul, Joel, Idol, Preston, Squier, Ocean, Davis Jr.... who's everyone's favority musical Billy?
Holiday...
Billy Vere and The Beaters..."At This Moment '
Billy Swan. I Can Help.
Preston! Yes... Can't let the "Black Beatle" get by if y'all haven't done him already. "Nothin' From Nothin'". You'll dig his piano work. Not to mention epic 'fro (if you catch him at his peak).
@@rajvader They actually reacted to that exact song in February. They loved it. Especially the 'fro!
A masterpiece. No question. Mozart would be jealous and wished he had written it!
SMOOTHE.....heard it for the first time, December 1972 coming back from college for vacay...BLOWN AWAY BLOWN AWAY!!! LOVE BLACK R&B MUSIC FROM THE 70❤'S. 😮DID I SAY LOVE? LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!
My mom loved this song and I often wonder if she knew what was going on, lol. At my age now, I believe she did! It is a great song!
Lol
I love this song. Such a beautiful memory. The instruments are gonna blow your minds. And the vocals are gonna take Amber away. Lol. You're gonna love it. Glad you loved it. 😍 Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️ ❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Hey Mary, while I understand your "🇨🇦🇨🇦" reference, it has an entirely different meaning on the other border of the U.S. 🤣🤣🤣
@@no2all Oh My. Do I want to know?
@@marybaillie8907 Allow me to show...💩
As a fellow Canadian I'm gonna guess that you're from back east, while we do love our Canadian maple syrup here in BC it's not really a big part of our vocabulary. Love your comments by the way. ✌🇨🇦❤🤍❤🤍
@@sueparras6028 You're right. From Ontario. Love BC. My parents retired to Penticton and my brother lived in Port Alberni. So beautiful. Thanks for your comment. 👍✌️🇨🇦❤️
this song brings me back to high school dance every Fridays, when this jewel came up you had to make your move and ask a girl to dance, good times...
It’s hard for you guys and young people to fully understand how amazing absolutely amazing it was back in the sixties and seventies!! So much great music unbelievable never again will it happen again 😊
One of sister and my favorite songs when we were young!
Alright now come on through with more grown folks music! He's up here creeping with Mrs. Jones! 😁 Please react to She Used To Be My Girl by The O'Jays y'all will definitely enjoy it! I also would love for you to react to the Soul Train line dancers! There's a segment where they have a dance contest to Love Train also by The O'Jays of which they were getting down for sure!
Yes. One of my Favourites. Did you see them at Darryl's House? Amazing.👍🙂🇨🇦
@@marybaillie8907 No I didn't unfortunately I know it had to be good!
And "I Love Music" (by The O’Jays)
O' Jay's have many great songs.
@@chrisoakley5830 Right on Chris! For The Love of Money Back Stabbers and Give the People What They Want All by The O'Jays!
I enjoy watching the younger generation discover all of the best music we grew up on in the 60s, 70s, & 80s. This song was very popular and never goes out of style. The Hues Corporation had a #1 hit " Rock the Boat" that was very popular too.
The 70's was an incredible era! Never again will there be such an incredible time to be alive! I remember hearing this song when it was released. Great memories for me to. You kids would of loved that era!
A great follow up to this is "Love Won't Let Me Wait" by Major Harris (later covered by Teddy). Same time period , same vibe , huge mid - 70's memories for me.
Absolutely!!!! "Love Won't Let Me Wait" is an incredible slow jam! They need to do a reaction video to it! You also mentioned Teddy, they definitely have to do his solo tunes and his songs with Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes!
@@rksnj6797 Yes , Teddy was in a real zone in the late 70's. Love his voice.
I agree
I know it was covered by Luther Vandross.
Yesss! Love Won't Let Me Wait!!
Number 1 song in 1972. It's always been one of my favorites. Daryl Hall (Hall and Oates) also does a great cover of this song.
1:22 melody snippet from "once I had a secret love.."
The writers/producers Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff say that the song was based on a real experience. There was a restaurant across from their recording studio in Philly where they would take their dinner breaks. And every day they'd see this couple meeting at one of the booths. They'd come in separately and leave separately.
I just love me and Mrs Jones...R.I.P...Mr Billy...thanks..for bringing me back in time when life was much easy...have a nice day..💃💓
Another great song written by Gamble And Huff. The Sounds of Philadelphia! Along with these two legendary writers and producers there was also Other great writers and producers like Thom Bell and Linda Creed! The late 1960’s into the 1970’s there was an incredible amount of R&B music coming out of Philadelphia. You should check out the O”jays , Delfonics, Stylistics, Harold Melvin And The Blue Notes and the Spinners. There just some of the groups that made up The Philly Sound!
Was there better music than TSOP? what a time we grew up in. The best music was created in the 60s& 70s. Gamble and Huff were geniuses. I have all those artists you mention. On vinyl.
Such a great voice and delivery!
Evidently, getting coffee at the cafe is so much better than getting a plastic cup of coffee at the drive-thru. :)
IKR!! 🤣😂🤣
🤣🤣🤣
At the same place, same time
The most sensual, sexy, jazzy and soulful song ever recorded! ❤️
I was a kid in the 70's, we were so lucky to have this wonderful music on the radio...such good memories.
One of the songs I remember from childhood that was always playing on the radio.
Great song... I was never so proud as when my 10 year old son had heard this song enough, He belted out the "Me and Mrs Jones with ALL the emotion.... Never been so proud.. One of my BEST memories...
Baby making music.........
Let me just say thank you for allowing me to see your reaction to this. I was 8 when this song came out and his voice absolutely slayed me. The "Me-eee-and Mrs. Mrs Jones" part hit my very soul. I didn't really understand the song, but man ... I knew he loved Mrs. Jones. Absolutely amazing. I'm so happy you loved it.
A classic for a reason. I was waiting for you two to start slow dancing!!!💕
And thank you to whoever suggested this!
The song’s writers Gamble and Huff are LEGENDS writing and producing TONS of hits featuring “The Philly Sound” in the 70s.
so glad y'all got to this song - no lie this song was absolutely HUGE when it hit the radio - everyone loved it
Sublime. This song just never gets old. Ever.
The orchestra makes a huge difference!!!🎶🎵🎶🎵
Songs like this, and "Year of the cat" 🐱 are why I'm still stuck in the 70's, it was a great decade for creativity in music. For the falsetto lover in you, Earth, Wind & Fire "Head to the sky" and for horn section fans Tower of Power "Your still a young man". Thank you! Peace! ☮
Agree.The 70’s was the greatest decade for music.It matured and then peaked.
Right there with you :)
Jordan, now you have to do AMY WINEHOUSE’s “Me and Mr Jones” (which is said to be inspired by this song, while the Mr Jones is her song is said to be the rapper Nas).
A soul stirring song. This song is the epitome of that "Philly sound". It's crafted and arranged and produced perfectly. A Gamble and Huff creation. ❤❤.
Gamble and Huff produced many classics.
If you liked this, you'll probably like Berry White "Practice What You Preach" or "I'm Gonna Love You Just a Little More, Baby" , The Floaters "Float On" and Teddy Pendergrass "Close The Door". Awesome reaction. Sending good vibes!
Lol all these are on my 70s playlist
Man, I remember grooving to this song as a young white-boy. This is the coolest crooner song of all time! I his love his long drawn out vocals interspersed with staccato phrasing. Perfect! I could listen to this all damn day! RIP Billy Paul.
I am so glad that you guys are reacting to Billy Paul. Wow, what a voice. Again, another example of the voices and music compositions of the 70's-80's. Now that you are reacting to Billy Paul I suggest that you listen to "This is your life" by Billy Paul.
Music will NEVER be this good again. BEAUTIFUL
Never 😢😢😢
My goodness, guys.... Billy Paul sure got you two going. lol If you two were out on the dance floor, you'd be sweeping the dance floor with your movements. So fun to watch you guys. Thanks for your reaction... enjoyed it. Take care and be well. Peace.
And, simply... a wonderful tune to slow dance to.
Such a beautiful voice!! This took me back to highschool Saturday afternoon watching Soul Train! Omg I forget how good this song was!!!
To me, its not an old song. Best ever.
One of my favorites from my youth in the early 70’s. Perhaps that’s why I married Mrs. Jones
The Crusaders "Street Life" or Tom Browne "Funkin for Jamaica" both great songs
Wow!! Saw him do this live, I can’t even remember the year!! I think i was in 10th grade and it was an outside concert at a mall with many artists!! It was all epic!! The song wasn’t even big yet. What a great classic to listen too!!!
I COULD NOT get over how SENSUAL those horns are!🎺🎷
It's really cute to see you two vibe on this song. You're an adorable couple. Really enjoy watching you explore the music I grew up on. Rock on!!
This song is so great
You two would have loved the '70s, it's a great song and there were plenty of ones like that during that decade. I suggest that you check out 'The Chi-Lites' (pronounced Shy-lights) two of their songs in particular, 'Have You Seen Her' and 'It's Time For Love', for a faster more dance type of track by them, please check out 'You Don't Have To Go'.
This song made billy pual popular it made him one of the stars of 1972 the albüm şöle 4 million couples that year
You guys HAVE to listen to the live version of Mrs.Jones by Hall and Oates! They did this song proud! You won’t be disappointed! ❤
Absolutely. Came here to suggest that. Daryl Hall blows it out of the water. Hope they will give it a listen.
NO!! hall/oats f#cked it up. NOBODY will ever do it better than BILLY PAUL !
An absolute flipping classic. A two hit wonder but I can't recall what his other hit was.
Bring The Family Back was his other hit in the UK
Loved this & I LOVE this!! ❤️ ❤️ 🇬🇧
Watch the video of Billy Paul singing this song with a cigarette between his lips, now that is classic, you know he had it going on, what a voice. They don't make songs and artist like this anymore.
This was the No. 1 song across the nation 50 years ago today.
Good '70s memories.
One of my favourite songs from back in the day. So great to see you appreciate it. Darryl Hall honours his fellow Philly artist with a great cover.
That was cool guys
OMG you guys! I have LOVED this song since I was 12 years old! That has been 50 YEARS!!
One of my most favourite songs.
I absolutely LOVE this song. I was a kid but I remember loving this song. It was a HUGE hit.
Absolute classic 70s Soul. It wasn't until I was older that I could make sense of what he was talking about.
Absolutely love love love the vibe of song❤️ One of my favorites of all time, and I think others feel the same!! Not too long ago was in a nice little antique store, I was the only shopper and this song was playing when I walked in, I was quietly singing along and loved it, feeling so lucky to hav3 walked in at the right time …… them it played again, and again…. And again!! I think the owner of the sop loved it too😉. I could listen to it all day long too!! So happy you got to react to it! Now go listen again!!
Billy Paul, is actually named Paul Williams!! They're already is a famous songwriter Paul Williams!! He helped write Barbra Streisand on Evergreen. So, he flipped his name around. Wink 😜🤔😎
Soul Music from the 70's was Smooooth! Some great Session Musicians and Arrangers working with Great Singers!
