RIP Billy Paul

Today's forgotten oldie was a number one song in 1972, earning the artist a grammy and brief superstar status.  The artist, Billy Paul, was a Philadelphia R & B singer who'd been stationed on the same base in Germany with Elvis Presley and Gary Crosby when he was in the Army.  By the way, Elvis wanted to drive jeep instead of sing in the army so the three never started a band.  Anyhow, "Me and Mrs. Jones" was a huge hit and was so big that Billy's follow-ups seemed kind of sad and weak. Billy Paul died Sunday of pancreatic cancer... so today we pay tribute with his huge hit, RIP Billy.
