It's only been out a matter of days (18 Aug) and already there is a
slowed down version of Paul Russell's "Lil Boo Thing", and other mixes, circulating, and it's 'blowing up' on social media and has over 200k
views on YouTube and 780k streams on Spotify. So perhaps a whole new generation discovering the
original 45 years later?
We understand that it went viral via TikTok even before it was released and has had 5m views.
You will immediately recognise the basis of the song (Emotions "Best Of
My Love" 1977) written by EWF's Al McKay and Maurice White.
He's a bit of a comedian as his Instagram strapline reads "2x
grammy-award-watching-musician" and his Spotify profile is from his 10th
grade school report from his history teacher:
"Paul was a pleasure to have in class. He is always polite and always
completes his assignments in a timely manner. -Mrs. Garth, 10th grade
history".
So, take it for what it is, a bit of fun.
Russell grew up in Dallas and is now living in L.A. On the strength of this single he was signed by Sony and quit his daytime job as a business strategist for a software company.
