R'n'B / Soul / Philly Soul / Vocal Jazz / Quiet Storm
2012 marks the 40th anniversary of the hugely influential Philadelphia International Records. To mark this, and following our reissue of some of the labels other acts such as the Three Degrees, Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes and the O’Jays, we are pleased to present an album from one of the most identifiable voices of the Philly Sound.
Billy Paul is a Grammy Award winning soul singer, most noted for his R&B #1 "Me & Mrs Jones”. EBONY WOMAN is a delightful Gamble & Huff produced 1970 album, which was later re-released in 1973. This BBR reissue sees the original artwork being used for a CD release for the first time.
This album features some amazing reimaginings of Simon & Garfunkel’s MRS. ROBINSON, Noel Harrison’s THE WINDMILLS OF YOUR MIND, Sly & The Family Stones EVERYDAY PEOPLE and Creedence Clearwater Revival’s PROUD MARY. LET’S FALL IN LOVE ALL OVER has been sampled by both Gang Starr and KRS-One.
Billy Paul - Ebony Woman (1970) {2012 Remastered & Expanded - Big Break Records CDBBR 0142}
Billy Paul originally recorded "Ebony Woman" in 1959, but it didn't make much noise. It served as the title track for a good, though uneven, mid-'70s release. Paul never equaled the success of "Me & Mrs. Jones," but was a consistent attraction for Philadelphia International in the early '70s. His albums used the same formula as this one – some adult ballads, one or two dance-oriented tunes, and some in-between numbers that tapped his background as a jazz singer but weren't done in such a sophisticated manner that they angered the R&B faithful.
