Billy Paul had a good run in the 70s as an R&B vocalist, though hed been recording since the 50s, when he debuted on Jubilee. Paul was featured on radio broadcasts in Philadelphia at age 11 and had an extensive jazz background. He worked with Dinah Washington, Miles Davis, and Roberta Flack, as well as Charlie Parker, before forming a trio and recording for Jubilee. His original 1959 recording of Ebony Woman for New Dawn was later re-recorded for Neptune as the title of his 1970 LP. He signed the next year with Philadelphia International and scored his biggest hit with Me & Mrs. Jones in 1972, topping both the R&B and pop charts. Paul had one other Top Ten R&B single, Thanks for Saving My Life, in 1974. He remained on Philadelphia International until the mid-80s. Paul recorded one LP for Total Experience in 1985, Lately, and another for Ichiban before announcing his retirement in 1989 in London. But hes since done several club dates, both in America and overseas.
