Billy Paul - RIP

Another one bites the dust and a bit of a one hit wonder, but a classic nonetheless.

Billy Paul RIP

Only heard of him about 9 months ago when I found the album Going East in a bargain bin. Terrific record.

RIP

Does it have his hit "Me and Mrs.Jones" on it?..........Just had a thought - Rigsby should have recorded it. Laughing out loud

Unfortunately no.

"Me and Mrs Jones" is a very special song for me because it was a hit when I went on my first proper holiday. It was on a farm in Wales and I had a holiday romance with the farm workers wife. She was Mrs Jones. She was fifty and I had just turned nine. She knew everything about love and I didn't know anything. To cut a long story short I used to sing to her "Amazing Grace" - the bagpipe version with elaborate drones - near to the paisley cows in the milking parlour. She gave me cuff links with my initials on in case any of my shirts lost their buttons.

Laughing out loud :D Another Radish classic, or should I say, Shaggy Horse Story?

Aw,you poor wee soul

Thank you but I am not sure I see it in that way.

It was just an extension of singing on sacks of potatoes at the greengrocers.
