Billy Paul – Let ‘Em In
This was a great charity shop find by Hal and me. Soul singer Billy Paul had already had a massive hit on the Philadelphia International Label with Me and Mrs Jones in 1972, which was a platinum selling US no.1.
In 1976 he released the album Let ‘Em In. The title track is a cover of the Wings song, from their album Wings at the Speed of Sound also released in 1976. The original Wings track is a great, but slightly twee affair listing various friends and family members. However, Billy manages to turn it into a funky piece of affirmative action.
