    Billy Paul is my homeboy from Philly. He used to work security at Strawbridge & Clothier Dept. Store with my big brother. The hat he’s wearing on the album cover was made by my high school friend and classmate Betty Leacraft. He is in the TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia) stable!

    Not too often you hear a love song like this about an affair from the perspective of the person doing the cheating. This song has so much sauce, love it! I didn't hear it til I was older either. More Philly Soul artists/songs to check out are Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes "If You Don't Know Me By Now" and The Spinners "I'll Be Around" ✌️❤️

    Bringing back memories. Straight up, senior year of high school got a friend's band to learn this song and sang it with them for the senior class talent show back in the early 1990s. There was a Mrs. Jones in my high school known as the hot teacher. I never had a class with her. She was just known as the hot teacher in our school. But the teachers in charge of the show said we could do it ONLY if we were good and not ashamed to say we were good with that song. No others, just this one. We won, and I gave the guys all the $200 prize money. They blew it on beer that weekend. Shoot. I'm gonna play it again since I was typing while listening.

      Ohhhhhhh ok yeah that have anything to do with the movie by that name? Prince used to talk about Love Jones too. Never heard that expression before he mentioned it now I get it.

      The term 'love jones' comes from the drug culture of the '60s, usually referring to heroin, and was a term about addiction, similar to 'fiending' which came with the crack era. Also, there's a song called 'Basketball Jones' from that time that was popular.

      Fred & Tim, while this song is smooth and has some jazz elements, it was pure R&B. 🙂

    It was a hot song back in the day. I loved R&B. I wish it would come back to stay. The R&B sound is sexy as heck.
