- If you are here because of "Scrubs", then you have come to the right place. I saw that episode the other night and could not get this atmospheric wonder of a soul song out of my head after Turk sang it to his gf. It's so dreamy and steamy, a naughty but oh so nice vibe going on, soothing and sexy. This was the one that knocked Helen Reddy's feminist chestbanger "I Am Woman" after her first week at the #1 spot back in da day, then Billy stayed on at #1 for three weeks! Important as a single, it was the first #1 for Philadelphia International and writer/producers Gamble and Huff. A pivotal #1 song that announced that the sound of Philadelphia had usurped the premiere position of the sound of young America, Motown. It's a smooth jazz inflected song from the house of Sigma, the home of MFSB who so brought so much light into my life back in 1972. To hear this coming over the brand new FM Radio that was top of the line, my dad's boss gave it to him, it was one of those multi-band things, AM, FM, CB, Police, etc....you could travel round the world through that radio dial. Any way, I felt very happy to hear this song then and today too! It's a classic hit that Billy Paul was never able to repeat. It still sounds fresh, dontcha think? I have always loved this one, the strings and vibrancy of the production are top notch and good work stands up forever.
No. 1 song in 1972 ... they knew what was what in '72
Agreed yes yes
🎉
THANK YOU!! My favorite song...period. I'm 57 and have played this (and all of the other Philly hits) all of my life. I have two sons, 22 and 24. A few years back my oldest was working as a waiter at Zio's (an Italian Garden type restaurant), one Saturday night he ran back to get a salad for a customer. They had an older retired African -American gentleman that worked part-time just doing salads and he had this song playing on an old boombox with a CD player singing along to it. My son walked up, started getting a salad and jumped right in with the older guy. This startled the guy so much he paused the song and asked how a young white kid like him knew the words to this song. My son explained that this was the kind of music he grew up with, that I played it al the time and that this was one of his favorites. He said the old guy smiled a huge smile and said, "Well son, then let's do it right." He turned the volume up, started the song from the beginning and they sang the whole thing together. Next thing he knew the whole restaurant was clapping, it had been loud enough that the customers could hear. The manager didn't stop them because it was one of her favorite songs as well. He made more tips that night than any other night he ever worked there. He split his tips 50/50 the older guy.
This and all of the Philly greats are loved and listened to by both of my sons. The greats passed on to another generation...
Thats awesome.

Not here because of a tv show. I like the music.
Hear that? It’s the 70’s calling us, telling us to come back a while & relax. Oh those were the days. And this song was as smooth as silk.
Amen. My therapy.💚
as a teen growing in the early to late 70's yeah i must say the 70's were good but then the 80's kicked in and it was magical yeah
"that part"
How I wish I was an adult in those years I was only 7 ♀️🌺🕊️
So romantic and seductive
This was # 1 in 1972 I remember this all over the radio , the talk of infidelity was the buzz but still it climbed the charts , people just couldn't help it , smooth as silk and sexy
Rest in peace Billy Paul me and misses Jones we had a thing going on
It's 2024 and I am in the process of having a thing going on with Ms.Jones.This song still serves as a calling for any female with the last name Jones!!!
ESPECIALLY MY FRIEND. VJ.❤❤😊
The greatest R&B songs of all time by the great Billy Paul… I bought all his albums he was so unique and so ahead of his time in his music, this was the start of his career as far as I was concerned but I made sure that I bought everything that came out from him, rest in peace your legacy lives on
Anybody still listening during this pandemic March 2021. One of the best ole school classics of all time😎😎😎
No body can't never ever take his place
I remember many years ago a DJ played this on the radio and said “the greatest song about adultery”
It’s a great record for me Motown was the 60s Philadelphia was 70s my teenage years. You are missed Mr Paul.
Mrs Jones isn't missed
He was sososo sososo bless
Was lucky enough to see Billy Paul in Paris…. Like listening to liquid velvet
How could I forget. ...Vintage 70's house parties! Dancin with the boy you"THINK" you're in love with! REAL MUSIC, REAL SINGERS! Great memories!
....and dancing with the boy who thinks he's being loved!😉
OOOHHH....Billy Paul Soul Purrfection Version....Thanks!!!
He was sososo sososo phenomenal

OHHHH DJ Cat ❤️🔥❤️🔥💋1 of my top shelf favorite romantic songs ❤️🔥❤️💋
👠👠🍸🍾🌹💐🗽🌟
This is a Masterpiece!!! Omg those passiac Jersey nites who's out there who remembers
Every time I hear this song I get teary eyed. I had a cousin Carl who died at 33 from colon cancer as I was driving to the church for his funeral this song came on.Whenever I hear this song I think about my cousin,I was a senior in high school now 63 years young.
So so 70s…….just a cool vibe, love this song 👍🇮🇲❤️
Believe it or not, this song reminds me of growing up in L.A. and walking to school with my little pink AM transistor radio listening to 93 KHJ and songs like this would come on. I didn't know really what they were singing about I just knew "I Loved the Song!" Oh, the 70's are a GREAT time in life to remember and the music is the best to listen to! I love Rock n' Roll, Disco, Soul, Grunge, the Blues and Heavy Metal, but the 70's music is always my favorite go-to when I just wanna kick back, chill, and remember...
👏🏻Just ❤this 😎smooth feeling…what a vibe…the 70’s, what a fantastic time to be young🙏🏻
_A Masterpiece._
Awesome remix smoth classic soul music just Beautiful
They don't make music like this anymore for sure!
@@cplmackk1 that's for sure today's music sucks
Absolutely superb reworking of this classic Philly love song. It takes a really special production talent to interpret these wonderful tracks and yet still retain the essence. If the original team and Billy Paul were around today they would welcome you aboard no doubt about that.
Through my Disco DJ years in the 70s 80s 90s this song was always a staple towards the end of the evening and I often mixed two separate singles to extend the magic and often thought it deserved a much longer mix.
Now added to my Mashups & Remixes RUclips playlist.
Keep up the great work 😎👌
What a voice . Sing it Billy 360 degree OMG this song never get old my song for ever Rest in peace Billy Paul
Que versão maravilhosa! Essa canção nos faz viajar! Que bem-estar! Linda a sua postagem!
My dad played this everyday starting back in the 70s, along with many other great classics, thank you dad, this one's for you🙏
@@DIABOLICAL90 You know, we are kindred in a way. Certain songs will bring back memories of my dad, and they always seem to play at the right time. Almost like he's messaging me! I was holding him when he slipped away, he was young and I was young. RIP Pops.🙏
Another awesome one.
What a master piece of music 🎶can't believe it's 52 years old now, I know showing my age now 2024 this is real music 🎶enjoy my friends❤❤❤❤❤❤
They don't make music like this anymore....oh so smooth
They sure dont...:-(
No me canso de escuchar esta sensacional canción, me transporta automáticamente a mi adolescencia, nostalgia de no poder regresar un instante........
Very good
Never gets old RIP Billy Paul
Classic old school jam done right
Just love this version ❤️😍❤️ it's truly a love song 💗💗💗
Billy Paul SUPER !!!!
Pure perfection
That's another million babies being born to this song - timeless music magic..... Nice work :-)
Thanks, Ed! Hope you have a good night!
Another million bastards
La escucho horas y que felicidad y el cuerpo vuelve 50 años atrás una obra de arte grande
One of the BEST R&B LP's of all time... Soul, bluesy, and just plain badasssssssss! You make it sultry, smooth, and you put the icing on the cake! Love it!
I grew up with this song. It was a lot of fun singing so high “Me and Mrs Jones” !! Almost an impossible task. I love this ❤️❤️❤️
Me, I'm listening. I love this song, there was a whole bunch of stuff going on at this time... Thank-you
SO Beautiful and just Timeless. You just do not hear this type of music anymore. I suffer from depression and even though I am on Medication, it has not helped and I am not an easy person to be able to taper it without bad reactions. Listening to your channel Sir, is what gives me MUCH needed cheer Blessings from Ontario, Canada.
Dont tell nobody, I met her,today. THX!!!
Gorgeous remix of a silky-smooth classic that drifts along almost in a hypnotizing slow motion. I never have fully grasped how Mrs. Jones could be at the same café every day at 6:30 and yet no one would know she’d be there, but I digress :) Thank you for this superb mix of a long-time favourite.
Don't let the lyrics get in the way of a masterfully constructed song.
Esta preciosa canción siempre me encantó, de joven y ahora con mis años aun la pongo y escucho muchas veces.
Que buena canción!!......
Vibe 🔈🔉🔊💤💤💤this Friday in new Zealand blessings 🙏

Amazing Scrub reference! That's a deep tv cut right there. Such a sweet scene of one of the best shows made imo
Great!😊
cómo no recordar está inolvidable melodía años de niñez la escuchaba Alós escasos 4 años de edad en la estación radio universal CD mex
Another little masterpiece from the Philadelphia Sound of the early 70's. Sequined tee-shirts, early Elton, Jovan musk oil, bell bottoms, unisex fashions, Viet Nam, Womens Lib (ugh), the world was sadder. The 60s party was over. Beatles had broken up, cities were dying, the niceties of life were gone. But we had the Philly Sound and tunes like this to take us back to the world of that time, where it was far better than today, even with all the turmoil and changes in society.
This song is hot !❤
