The Best Of Billy Paul

Philadelphia-born vocalist Billy Paul was comfortable with both soul and jazz, and his best-known song, the 1972 hit 'Me and Mrs. Jones,' borrowed a bit from both styles with its polished arrangement and Paul's thoughtful phrasing conveying a tale of illicit love. While 'Me and Mrs. Jones' was far and away Paul's biggest hit, he was a regular visitor to the R&B charts in the '70s, and recorded a series of fine albums for Philadelphia International Records, where he often dealt with political and cultural issues as well as songs best suited for the quiet storm.
