Yes and I remember his big hit as being "Me and Mrs Jones" ... the whole point of the song being that 'Paul' was carrying on with the wife of Mr Jones, and so Mr Jones does not get a mention in the title or the song ..... still they did have a thing going on, but they needed to be extra careful : :)

Perhaps he was doing Ashton, Gardner & Dyke's Resurrection Shuffle ?  ;)
