Soul singer Billy Paul’s single, Me and Mrs. Jones hit No. 1 on the Billboard charts on this date.
A hint about this song’s subject matter is cleverly “hidden” in its intro: the saxophone is playing the first line from a 1953 Doris Day hit entitled Secret Love, which won the Oscar for Best Original Song (Day sang it in the movie Calamity Jane).
