Subject: Paul Mitchell Floats Away

Written By: LyricBoy on 12/20/21 at 6:26 pm

Paul Mitchell, singer with the legendary 1970s R&B group The Floaters has passed away. I don’t have much in the way of more detail at this time.  :\'(

The Floaters burst on the scene with their classic and smoooooth performance of their 1977 signature hit, Float On, which dominated the R&B charts of its day.  8)

” Leo and my name is Paul
You see I like all women of the world
You see to me all women are wild flowers
And if you understand what I'm sayin
I want you to

Mmm, take my hand
Come with me, baby, to Love Land
Let me show you how sweet it could be
Sharing love with me, I want you to

Float, float on…”


Lyrics from a long gone era. Somewhere along the line, crooning like this got displaced by rappers shouting about b*tches and hoes and what they would like to do to them.  ::)



He is not to be confused with the Paul Mitchell who hawked all sorts of hair care products. THAT Paul Mitchell bit it way back in 1989 :-\\.

R.I.P to Paul :\'(

I had heard of his band The Floaters and their song “Float On,” but I did not realize that one of the members shared his name with a shampoo guy. Well, as I always say, you learn something new every day!
