Not sure what to say?

My good friend was introduced to me by my Dad, I became a DJ in Plymouth England, where he came and we hung out at the club Castaways 2001, Miss you my friend, Ed Birts

Happy birthday my brother. May you continue to rest in peace.

I always loved his big hit. It was tremendous. Way deserving of being a Number One. Amazingly enough, I only just now, heard "Am I Black Enough For You"... ...and, I almost shied away, didn't know, should I say anything, what would I say... then I read about you, Blanche, hanging in there without him. That hit a nerve. See, I lost my wife on day after Christmas 2012... it's been a while, never really gets easier, but we do get stronger. I was really struck in the heart hearing about you talk...

I am sorry regarding the loss of your loved one. I loved the many songs, he sung, during his career. May the God of Comfort, continue to comfort the family.

Billy Paul me traz doces lembranças de um tempo que não volta mais. Eu dançava " me and mrs jones " de rosto colado com a minha namorada , hoje minha espôsa. Descance em paz meu grande ídolo.

My mom and dad played Mr Billy Pauls album every Sunday and I knew all the words... We miss him and we still sing his songs to this day! God Bless his wife and entire family the ICONIC LEGEND STILL LIVES ON

Me and Mrs. Jones was the first record that I bought when we got a new record player. It was my favorite song back in the day, and it is my favorite song now. Thank you Mr. Paul.

What an inspiration, brings light to my day with his beautiful songs and picks me up when I am down. Having only recently discovered this incredible man, I was saddened to see he had departed us but I'm sure he is smiling down.
I am from Derby in the UK, my thoughts and prayers are with his family.
