Billy Paul's sole effort for Lonnie Simmons' Total Experience
records (the Gap Band, Yarbrough and Peoples) saw the jazzy Philly soul
singer slide smoothly from a live band/orchestra backing as on his
sides for Gamble & Huff's
Philadelphia International Records to a synth/keyboard-based musical
backdrop. Production on Lately was shared between Paul and Total Experience staff producers/songwriters Jonah Ellis and Oliver Scott.
The standout tracks were his covers of "On a Clear Day," "I Only Have
Eyes for You" -- a steppers' favorite -- the ethereal ballad "Let Me
In," "Get Down to Lovin'," "Hot Date," and "Sexual Therapy," which is
very similar to Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing."
