yeah, No place like Motown!
All of those titles are really so good... Billy Paul is one of those few artists that can take a standard, made a cover and really to make it a "new song" and to print his personal thumb. "Only The Strong Survive" is really "another" song compared with Jerry Butler's original [[and the same titled album, my absolute favorite, the Billy's album on wich i likes every track, from the mellow "The moments of our lives" to the latin-jazz infected "Where I Belong".

Some Billy's wonders that [[i think) never were realized on 45 format [[as I can see in the "40th anniversary of PIR 10 CD's / book, on the exhaustive PIR discography) are "When Is Your Time To Go" [[pure jazz-funk!), "Billy Boy" [[the best example of Billy's "scat" capacity!) and one that I think do not belong to no one album, "Next To Nature" [[that I have on the 2 x LP compilation "Best Of B.P.", PIR, 1979 or 1980). Very different to the more "spoken" / Hip-hop original done by Jean Claude T, also on PIR [["The Bicentennial Poet" album, IMHO, the "predecessor" to the Guru / Jazzmatazz series...!!)

"Love Buddies", "Where I Belong" and "I Think I'll Stay Home Today" are standouts for me. Here in the U.S. he is mostly remembered for "Me And Mrs. Jones". The songs on this thread show Billy's versatility as a recording artist. Thanks for mentioning some of his other fine recordings. I always look forward to your input - especially on the Philly-related threads!
