Me and Mrs. Jones: The Best of Billy Paul. Too easily dismissed as little more than a one-hit wonder, Billy Paul was, in fact, one of the most gifted and affecting talents to grace the Philadelphia International stable - the recipient of some of the Gamble & Huff team's most lush and sophisticated productions. His deeply soulful voice bridged the gap between jazz and soul, textured in equal measure by street-smart swagger and touching vulnerability

Billy Paul might've been just an archetypal '70s Philly-soul love man with a slightly over-formal jazz-trained voice, melodramatic arrangements, and one great cheating song (the title track), but there was a side of him that was a revolutionary dressed as a Casanova: some of his best crooning was in the service of black power  .

Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones We've got a thing going on We both know that it's wrong But it's much too strong To let it go now. Well, it's time for us to be leaving It hurts so much, it hurts so much inside Now she'll go her way and I'll go mine Tomorrow we'll meet the same place, the same time. Jones We've got a thing going on We've gotta be extra careful We can't afford to build our hopes up too high

Billy Paul was a veteran nightclub singer nearly a decade older than Gamble or Huff. A Philadelphia native like Gamble and Huff, Paul had started recording jazz singles in the early ’50s. He’d had a long and spotty career - singing with a few R&B groups, striking up a friendship with Marvin Gaye during their journeyman days, trying to get Elvis to join a band with him with they served in the Army in Germany together. Gamble and Huff had released a 1968 Billy Paul live jazz-standards album on Gamble Records, one of their pre-Philadelphia International labels. That’s not Me And Mrs. Instead, on that one, Billy Paul’s narrator has a thing going on with a married woman. It’s an obsessive sort of relationship.
