My mother played this song every single day when she came home from work back in the 70's. Not once, but back to back several times. I was about 6 years old at the time. She played this song so much, I know every word to the song, I sing it perfectly, and when I hear this song playing today, it immediately take me back to those moments as a child sitting under my mother as she play this song. WOW! I miss her so much. Rest In Peace my dear mother. **Tears**

I was born in 1961 in the GDR (East Germany) and was able to listen to the West Berlin radio station RIAS Berlin in the 70s.. “Mrs. Jones” was also on the hit parade, which I still really like to this day. In addition to the great music of our own country, there were so many pieces of music added - it's overwhelming: in addition to the well-known ones that are constantly in our ears, there are also such gems as Mylène Farmer, Joe Bonamassa, Leonid & Friends, Lexington Lab Band... .

Love this song. My dad used to kill this song at karaoke. When I say that I mean everyone would literally be cheering, and no one wanted to sing after him because it was perfection. When he says “it’s time for us to be leaving” and “it hurts so much” it just brings me to tears everytime. He passed away last year but I’ll always think of him when this song plays.

I used to think that the reason why so many musicians lip-synched on TV shows in that era was because they didn’t want to risk potentially sounding bad on national TV, but I recently read that what really happened was that shows like “Soul Train”, “American Bandstand”, etc, started forcing musicians to lip-synch cuz bands like War were going on shows and playing extra long versions of their hit songs, and it was messing with the shows’ commercials.

With titles like Me and Mrs Jones of course one more was by Mary Magregor called Torn Between Two Lovers, had the voices that were used to tell the stories of adultery sounded shit we probably wouldn't have been listening and inturn buying the single's we needed singer's with open mind's thank you 70'S Your musicians and musical styles can't be copied Wayne Dunlea
