SoulMusic Records is very proud to present Me & Mrs. Jones, a 31-track retrospective saluting the artistry of distinctive soul 'n' jazz song stylist Billy Paul, spanning 10 studio albums he recorded between 1969-1985.

While known as a primo balladeer with his rich baritone style - evident on key cuts on Disc Two such as 'When Love Is New', 'This Is Your Life', 'I Was Married' and 'I Think I'll Stay Home Today'. Billy's powerful stance as key '70s message music purveyor is in full evidence on Disc One, focusing on uptempo cuts such as 'The Whole Town's Talking', Billy's funky take on Elton John's 'Your Song' and a standout version of the Paul McCartney/Wings hit, 'Let 'Em In'.
