Billy Paul passed away April 24, 2016 from pancreatic cancer, he was 81.
 
Billy Paul bootlegs are very rare, almost nonexistent. I remember being in the backseat of my Mom & Dad's car when I first heard Billy Paul sing "Me And Mrs. Jones". I thought it was such a passionate vocal. I had to hear more so I bought the album. I was not disappointed. Though not as well known as Al Green, Teddy Pendergrass, or Barry White, Billy Paul could make a Soul Ballad burn with the best of them.

  1. Wow, can't wait to hear this! I can't think of a single other Billy Paul boot I've ever seen. Nice, especially given his recent passing that you mentioned. Thanks so much JD!

  2. You're welcome Taylor! It's the only Billy Paul boot I've seen. I forgot that I had it, came across it just 2 days ago on my hard drive while cleaning things up. Hope you like it!

    1. You're welcome Gman! 2 sets from the man's heyday. It's still something I don't believe I found. I don't remember where I downloaded it either. With Soul & Funk shows being a little rare finding a Billy Paul show was like finding a diamond on a beach.

    1. You're welcome Derek! I hope it made for a nice Sunday morning. I wish I had more from him. I always like to have at least 2 shows from an artist. Unfortunately this is all we have.

  6. It would be understandable and the recording would still be worthwhile if the quality were not great, but it sounds terrific!
