The quintessential example of the soul from the 70's! Big fros, wide lapels and smooth tunes that you could feel! Love this one!

Great song. There use to be an elderly lady worked in cafeteria at the factory I worked. She was Mrs. Jones and I'd sing this to her off key terribly but she always got the biggest smile.

Love this one. Old school, haven't heard it in ages.

Billy Paul great singer! R.I.P.

Enjoyed the song and video. Used to watch Soul Train regularly, yes white people watched it too. This was back when entertainers could actually sing.

Doesn't matter how many times I hear this song it always takes me back to the same place in my life💛💛

This is stuck in my head for over 30 years, and is still a regular favorite in my car

Early 70s, sound of philly! Gamble and Huff! Some of the greatest music ever made! Production and arrangements were so good. Stylistics, Harold Melvin and blue notes, Teddy P, O Jays, Spinners, Billy Paul, 3 Degrees, MFSB, insane the amount of talent and masterful music they produced

One of the best songs of the 70's. He has such an amazing voice!

His velvet voice seduces like AL Green, Barry White, and Marvin Gaye.

Absolutely love this song!

You gotta love Billy Paul and this song! He sang it like nobody else could... so mellow and smooth.. and SOULLLLL TRAINNNN!!!

Haven't heard this in a long while! That man could sing! ❤

Dave Mason- we just disagree Climax blues band- couldn't get it right Climax blues band- i love you Bobby gentry- ode to billy joe Dusty Springfield- son of a preacher man Bee gees- to love somebody Cliff Richard- devil woman Badfinger- day after day Badfinger- baby blue Anything by ELO or Supertramp

Iconic! This is a classic. All you had to say was Me and Mrs Jones and I knew the song.

Wow my early dating days. This once happened in my life. He passed on R.I.P.

Every time I hear this, I remember my Mrs. Jones. It has been decades and I hope she is happy and doing well.

One of the greatest songs ever written, arranged and sang by...just perfection.

If you plan to react to old shows I'd love to see you react to Carol Burnett Show - Tim Conway's Elephant Story , it's a classic from a great show.

Smooth, oh so smooth.....danced to this many times! Sweet memories are made of this.

Thanks for a good old flashback! I start soul train every week and American bandstand. I wish they had real music shows like that. there is a radio station here in Colorado that plays Casey Kasem top 40 flashbacks every Sunday night. Thanks for the memories

The LEGENDARY Mr Billy Paul

***Great Song***

Soul train! Me and my brother. 2 white kids, dancing to Soul Train every Saturday in the living room, LoL! Life was good back then. ;)

Man, just one of the smoothest, soulful voices you will ever hear.

@Modern Renaissance Man. Another powerful soulful voice that would blow you away is Barry White - Can't Get Enough Of Your Love.

Former #1 Soul & #1 Pop from 1972, a one hit wonder on the pop chart but a really big hit for Billy Paul. Made his career. A similar situation happened with Roger Whittaker around the same time frame with his hit called The Last Farewell. Another really good song but you have to search to get the single version. The album version sounds totally different but his own cover of the song was the surprise hit.

He served in same unit as Elvis in Germany and tried to get him to join his Jazz band while there.

Billy Paul was part of that TSOP or Philly soul era back in the 70s..some of the best soul to every come along. Many notable artists came out of Philly. My dad's favorite!!

Wow takes me back to beauty school going to disco dances every weekend everyone slow danced to this every time even still at weddings today they still all slow dance to this tnks for this one

Always loved this song,from the first time it aired back in early 1972.

Cuts to your soul doesn’t he? My favorite Billy Paul song. Awesome

Classic soul at its finest ✌🏾

That purple crushed velvet suit tho....

Another great singer from my hometown of Philadelphia! Must be something in the, as we say in Philadelphia, 'wooder'. That's water to you Ty lol! You take care and stay safe!

YEARS ago, I was doing a ride along with a black police officer. Came down this street and saw two cars parked close together. Anyway, the officer looked at me and said "this is a me and mrs jones situation." He said they do that on a regular basis. I thought that was so funny! And, I and my mom always watched soul train right after American bandstand. Sweet memories for sure. Thanks for doing this song. Enjoyed hearing it again.

In 72' I was around 15 years old... I played this song so much on my little record player I had to buy new needles...plus I looked for ever for a man to tell me we had a thing going on 😋

This was a really popular song, so smooth.

I had this on my telephone ring, love it!

A terrific song and performance from Wayback. It's 2021 Covid Hell and this song hasn't aged a day for me.

I was going around singing this song when I was 4. Didn't have a clue what it was about, but loved the song anyway. Turn right around and dancing to James Brown and Three Dog Night and Black Sabbath. I've always loved different types of music.

Miss this music so much...this was the “song of the year” and number one song.

This was a huge hit when I was young! We called it "belly rubbing music"....slow dancing and/or dirty dancing...

Yes! Glad I subscribed to your channel. You’re highly entertaining

I love your facial expressions.

Oh lord this carries me way back lol. My two favorite shows back then was soul train and the midnight special 💖 back when music was real. Boy do miss those days.

Back than..the singers had class and style...and the songs where unseen good..that is long gone now.. :(

Walked into a fast food place one time and started humming this. The girl at the counter recognized it and sang a little and the two of us broke into an impromptu duet of the first verse. Smiles

That song was released in 1972........I was in the 9th grade and I hated that song. Not sure what happened, but the song slowly grew on me and now it is one of my all time favorites. Man, Billy Paul's voice............INTOXICATING! This song was a #1 hit single and is what Paul Williams (His real name) was best known for. TY Billy Paul for leaving us this masterpeice. Billy Paul passed in April of 2016. Thanks for reacting to this song.

Looking forward to this one. It will bring back good memories.

The 70s really brought back strings to ballads and disco music...nice!

Once upon a time, I had my own 'Mrs Jones'! She was 13 years older, & I used to serenade her with this after making love! One night, she asked me to sing a different song, so I chose 'The Deadwood Stage' from Calamity Jane! 😂 One of my funniest memories is her literally wetting herself laughing! 😂😂😂

SMOOOTH.....Love this song.........love his reaction to the song

Love this tune!!!

Try and find music today that can compete with this smooth sound. This for sitting in front of a fireplace with a glass of wine with someone you love. Great song Ty. Thanks for playing it.

What a voice, what a great song. So much soul. Beautiful.

Absolutely loved the smoothness the first time I heard this.

A favorite of mine always, his voice perfectly..

I was in the 2nd grade and I remember this song so well on Soul Train (I was the youngest of 6 kids so my brothers/sisters turned me on to all kinds of music)

One of the all-time wedding songs to being played in a wedding.

The song was from the movie "The Graduate', starring Dustin Hoffman. Great slow dance number,Love it.

Hundreds of good 70s songs out there. My favorite was Rose Royce Wishing on A Star. You can thank me later!.

He left out a whole verse to that song. Wow some good ole 70’s soul love it

Great song. Grew up listening to that hit on my father's old stereo.

That wall of sound those strings and horns are so great. The starts and stops in the right places are amazing.

70's soul is the best!❤

One of the most felt songs of my childhood, even though I was only a little ready to understand it. But when that AAA AAA AAA AAAAAND MRS. ... MRS. JOOOONES ... came along, I was convinced of all the emotion and got the gist. I was surprised people weren't talking about this song all the time, but I think it was too risque for its times. Everybody who might have wanted to talk about it was scared to. I thought I was the only one who liked it. But since I've never seen anybody else do it, I'll confess otherwise now. I loved it! As a kid, and then young adult, and now and forever.

I love this song. Heard it when i was young and that smooth voice sent shivers. A true classic

I've heard this song pretty much all my life. I used to get teased about this song because of the last name, but I knew it was all in fun.

I am so glad I grew up during this era. The Temps, Tops, Spinners, Smokey, all the greats. Ain't no school like old school. And this my friends, is old school Motown. For some reason, the station I would listen to would play this then "Kiss and say goodbye". Think they were trying to tell us something?

It was his only major Hit Record but it has stood the test of time. It was actually inspired by a Judge who was involved with a Younger Woman. In The UK he would sing it and the fans loved it as well. In the UK The Music Of Motown & Philly Soul is just as popular. Over the Years it's been featured on UK Soap Operas like The Doctors and EastEnders as well as the UK Version of The Office Boy Bands have covered Philly Soul Songs and they are so popular that somewhere in the world a Song by Kenny Gamble/Leon Huff is being played every Six Minutes.

Grew up listening to this. Love it!

Love this song ...man can this guy sing always a favorite

Omg this songs takes me back hot afternoon BBQ picnics

You're the best reaction artist on KZfaq, bro. You always respect the music.

And right on schedule at 2:06, there goes the hair being scratched out. 😁 I wish you would do more of them like this. I sure wasn't aware of it at that time, being only 5, and of course being white, and black music not being any part of my upbringing (I mean at ALL), but that period from the mid-60s to the mid-70s, and especially late 60s to early 70s...that right there, was the absolute crown jewels of western music, especially in R&B and rock.

Great song..brought up in these great music soul times..go Sir Billy Paul..what a voice.

If you like this song you should play the "Dramatics" version of the same song. They wore it out, too.

Real Motown check out Brook Benton Rainy Night in Georgia

Rainy night in Georgia, Brook Benton, you won't regret it

My son used to like this. He was only about 4 and didn't know what the song was about so it was probably just the melody. He always picked it to be played on the juke box.

Man, you never heard this...I am getting old....Great tune

This one brought back a lot of good memories. In my opinion shows like Soultrain and American Bandstand helped a lot of artists become stars. I also liked the way the show started with the tain puffing smoke and the Soooouuuultrain shout out. Lol

If you want to see another version of this song check out Daryl Hall singing this. He does an outstanding performance.

Very smooth!! Truly old school jam Recommendations 1. Switch - I call your name. 2. LTD (Jeffery Osborne) -Love Ballad 3. Commodores -Sail On

This was great Thank you!

Always LOVED this song 💕💕

As I'm white growing up in the 70's and my mom and dad played this song and I heard it loved it

Blast from the past...I loved this song!!! 😊 Thanks!! Enjoyed!

How have you not heard this song!!! classic song

Love old school!

What a great song...takes me back.

Omg! The memories this brought back.

Me & mrs Jones.

This is what you call smooth. Love this song

In that summer of '72---------------this man was on the radio every 10 minutes-----------& no one complained.---------------WolfSky9

This song was on the charts during the best carefree days in my life. So much GREAT music. I was between still being a little girl/teen. Great memories.

My dad (Mr. Jones) loved to sing this to my mother (Mrs. Jones)

One of my all time favorites

One of my favorite songs!
