‘Me and Mrs Jones’ singer Billy Paul dies, aged 80

Paul, 80, whose career spanned more than 60 years, died at his home in Blackwood, New Jersey, USA, his co-manager Beverly Gay said. He had pancreatic cancer.
Known by his beard and large glasses, Paul was one of many singers who found success with the writing and producing team of Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff, whose Philadelphia International Records also released music by the O’Jays, Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, and Lou Rawls.
