Daily Travels - Billy Paul



I'm happy to announce that today's installment of Daily Travels is by special guest, Godlis. He attended the BAM CinemaFest a few days ago, and took these snappy snaps of Philly soul legend, Billy Paul. Mr. Paul, if you don't know, has sung for many years, and is the power behind one of the definitive 70's soul smash hits, "Me & Mrs. Jones." Paul was appearing at BAM because they were premiering a new film about him entitled Am I Black Enough For You (trailer below). What did Godlis learn about Billy Paul? Paul got his start with Charlie Parker, was in the army with Elvis Presley, and was introduced to the woman who became his wife by Muhammad Ali. Top that!
