Me and Mrs Jones

And this season on Heavyweight, Jade questions the confession her grandmother made just before she died.

She said she is the Mrs. Jones in the famous song, Me and Mrs. Jones.

And Dan wants to know how he was hired by a professional baseball team when it was so

obvious he lied his way in.

Commodores.

Me and Mrs. Jones.

Billy Paul.

I'll read it again.

Three Times a Lady.

Commodores.

Me and Mrs. Jones.

Billy Paul.

It went all the way up to number two on December 30th, 1972, and January 6th, 1973.

Kept out of the top spot, first by Billy Paul's Me and Mrs. Jones, and then leapfrogged by Carly Simon's You're So Vain.

Unfortunately, it couldn't match its debut alone again naturally at the top spot, but it hit number two, and it's song number 1456.

This is Claire by Gilbert O'Sullivan.

The Capital Countdown 1972 on Capital Radio 604.

Me and Mrs. Jones.

We got a thing going on.

We both know that it's wrong.

It's Billy Paul, 33 on the Capital Countdown.

The fantasy one this week, 1972, and 19 of your votes put it there.

And funny enough, the couple who inspired Me and Mrs. Jones really existed, but nobody knew whether they were having an affair or not.

Songwriters Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff used to visit a café beneath their Philadelphia office.

Best one hit wonder.

Me and Mrs. Jones, got a thing going on.

Everyone thinks it's Marvin Gaye.

It's a guy called Billy Paul.

His second song was called, I'm a black, I'm a black enough for you.

I'm a black, I'm a black enough for you.

And all the white audiences who love me and Mrs. Jones were like, oh, how dare you? And he never had another hit.

Wow.

Let's not blow it.

Me and Mrs. Jones.

Yeah.

Do you remember that?

... and I can't remember the artist's name.

I was thinking of the, um, artist that sang Me and Mrs. Jones.

[laughs] Billy Paul.

That's a good song, too.
