Mello Monday Video of the Night- Billy Paul “Me and Mrs. Jones”
Few songs capture the essence of 1970s soul like Me and Mrs. Jones. Written and produced by the legendary Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, this track topped the Billboard Hot 100 in 1972 and earned Billy Paul a Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance.
The song’s lush arrangement, storytelling lyrics, and Billy Paul’s unmistakable voice turned it into one of the most iconic slow jams of all time. Recorded at Philadelphia’s famed Sigma Sound Studios, it became a centerpiece of the Philadelphia International Records catalog.
This rare clip from Soul Train in 1972 shows Billy Paul at his best — smooth, charismatic, and delivering a performance that still gives chills more than 50 years later.
Press play, let the groove wash over you, and remember why Gamble & Huff will always be kings of the Philly Sound.
