CD Reviews

Billy's best from 1976-80.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Billy Paul holds a unique place in Philadelphia International Records' history. Why? During the label's early years he brought a certain degree of class and sophistication to the "Philly Sound" thanks to his strong Jazz and MOR-Pop vocal roots. This superb compilation includes his final three releases for P.I.R. along with extensive liner notes from the very knowledgeable Tony Rounce. These albums were not among Billy's strongest sellers but all three are wonderful examples of the best 1970s R&B had to offer from one of Soul Music's elder statesmen."
