Iniciou sua carreira com apenas 11 anos, se apresentando em shows de r\u00E1dio. Realizou algumas grava\u00E7\u00F5es durante a d\u00E9cada de 1950, mas s\u00F3 despontou como vocalista de R&B na d\u00E9cada de 1970. A partir de ent\u00E3o, trabalhou com nomes como Miles Davis, Charlie Parker e Roberta Flack. Seu primeiro sucesso veio com \"Ebony Woman\" - que j\u00E1 havia sido gravada anteriormente, em 1959, mas n\u00E3o tinha vingado -, no disco hom\u00F4nimo de 1970, que lhe rendeu um contrato com a gravadora Philadelphia International. Dois anos depois, emplacava o sucesso que virou sua marca, \"Me & Mrs. Jones\", no primeiro posto das paradas de R&B. A m\u00FAsica fazia parte do LP 360 Degrees of Billy Paul, um disco que vendeu bem no Brasil durante toda a d\u00E9cada de 1970. Em 1973, \"Thanks for Saving My Life\", do \u00E1lbum War of the Gods, repetiu o feito, com seu estilo elegante, por\u00E9m arrebatado. O \u00E1lbum cont\u00E9m ainda Only the Strong Survive e uma vers\u00E3o de \"Your Song\" de Elton John. O disco ao vivo Live in Europe (1974) revelava as inclina\u00E7\u00F5es jazz\u00EDsticas cultivadas em meio ao baladismo de seu repert\u00F3rio. Vieram depois os \u00E1lbuns When Love is New, Got My Head on Straight, Let 'Em In, Only The Strong Survive? cuja faixa-t\u00EDtulo ficou como um cl\u00E1ssico da disco music - e First Class. Ap\u00F3s seis anos sem gravar, voltou com Lately (1985), que inclu\u00EDa \"Sexual Therapy\", claramente inspirada no cl\u00E1ssico de Marvin Gaye, \"Sexual Healing\". Em 1989, depois de Wide Open, Billy Paul anunciou a aposentadoria e se limitou a realizar apresenta\u00E7\u00F5es nost\u00E1lgicas pelo mundo, incluindo o Brasil, onde esteve por v\u00E1rias oportunidades. Em 1996, saiu o CD Very Best Of e, em 2000, Live: World Tour. Billy Paul ganhou em 1972, o Grammy de Melhor Vocal Masculino em interpreta\u00E7\u00E3o de soul, por 'Me and Mrs. Jones'. Em 1974, Billy tentou chocar novamente, desta vez, sem sucesso, com o seu disco seguinte, Am I Black Enough for You? (Sou negro o bastante para voc\u00EA?), nenhuma r\u00E1dio quis tocar a m\u00FAsica, e foi um fracasso total. No mesmo ano, ele retoma sua posi\u00E7\u00E3o de hitmaker com mais um sucesso, quase uma ironia, 'Thanks for Saving My Life', a m\u00FAsica ficou entre as dez mais tocadas da parada soul. Paul continuou a trabalhar e a gravar durante os anos 1980, sem muita proje\u00E7\u00E3o. Pelo selo Total Experience, Billy lan\u00E7ou o \u00E1lbum Lately em 1985. Em Londres, 1989, anunciou sua aposentadoria. Depois disso continuou fazendo turn\u00EAs e apresentando-se em clubes. Em 2000, saiu o \u00E1lbum ao vivo, Live World Tour. Em 2003, Billy Paul entrou numa disputa judicial com seus antigos amigos Gamble e Huff, pelos direitos da reprodu\u00E7\u00E3o do sucesso, 'Me and Mrs. Jones'. Ganhou 500.000 d\u00F3lares no processo, por royalties que n\u00E3o haviam sido pagos desde a \u00E9poca do lan\u00E7amendo do hit. Seu mais recente disco lan\u00E7ado foi em 2005, Live, com uma colet\u00E2nea dos seus sucessos da carreira."@pt , "Billy Paul nacido como Paul Williams el 1 de diciembre de 1934 en Philadelphia, Estados Unidos es un m\u00FAsico y cantante de m\u00FAsica soul."@es , "Billy Paul, f\u00F6dd Paul Williams 1 december 1934 i Philadelphia, \u00E4r en amerikansk souls\u00E5ngare.
