The nature of the relationship is that both are cheating on someone, but like the song says, "We got a thing goin' on We both know that it's wrong But it's much too strong To let it go now".

You guys HAVE to listen to the live version of Mrs.Jones by Hall and Oates! They did this song proud! You won’t be disappointed! ❤

Absolutely. Came here to suggest that. Daryl Hall blows it out of the water. Hope they will give it a listen.

One of my favourite songs from back in the day. So great to see you appreciate it. Darryl Hall honours his fellow Philly artist with a great cover.

this song brings me back to high school dance every Fridays, when this jewel came up you had to make your move and ask a girl to dance, good times...

Oh, I loved this song back in '72! The production, the vocals, the whole atmosphere is electric. They HAD to know they had a hit on their hands and indeed, this song went to Number One. Again, I was eleven so too young to really understand, but the song has such a longing and an emotion, that even when you can't put your finger on it, it still moves you. Give "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" by Roberta Flack (also from '72) a listen. That one will hot you hard.

Not too long ago was in a nice little antique store, I was the only shopper and this song was playing when I walked in, I was quietly singing along and loved it, feeling so lucky to hav3 walked in at the right time …… them it played again, and again…. And again!! I think the owner of the sop loved it too😉. I could listen to it all day long too!! So happy you got to react to it! Now go listen again!!

I absolutely LOVE this song. I was a kid but I remember loving this song. It was a HUGE hit. Absolute classic 70s Soul. It wasn't until I was older that I could make sense of what he was talking about.

This song is always a good listen. Try out Al Wilson's Show and Tell. It is always a good listen as well.

I grew up in this era with Diana Ross, Spinners, Smokey and the rest of the motown classics. I still love the pure vocals, horns, bass and rhythm and when they all come together it's magic.

Man, I remember grooving to this song as a young white-boy. This is the coolest crooner song of all time! I his love his long drawn out vocals interspersed with staccato phrasing. Perfect! I could listen to this all damn day! RIP Billy Paul.
