Folks, this man is a vocalist. There is such a difference between a singer-- that's what we do in the shower, tormenting the tiles and pipes-- and a vocalist, who is a master at delivering not just the note but the emotion behind it. Jack's phrasing and emotion are flawless. A fantastic performance and the audience rewards with thunderous applause. Thanks for sharing this!
His singing speaks for itself. One of the finest singers of the last generation. Young people today are surfing our music and opening their eyes and ears. It's about time!
I am a 68yo Australian living in Melbourne,Victoria & i purchased one of Jack's albums called "Where Is Love",which has the theme from "Valley Of The Dolls','Suzanne',"Old Man River' & 8 other tracks.His version of "Suzanne' is amazing.I was lucky to buy it for AUD 1 Dollar at a record shop sale.
Another one of Jack's albums i have is called "All To Yourself" & had 20 tracks on it,including "Yesterday When I Was Young,"Homeward Bound,"If You Could Read My Mind".
@music1831 Can you possibly post 'Homeward Bound'? & - if you have it - also Jack's version of 'By the Time I get to Phoenix'? Thanx. I wonder too if Jack did - & recorded - his own rendition of Mack the Knife.
@amotspheres Jack Jones did indeed record "Mack the Knife." It's on his album "New Jack Swing," which is available from iTunes and other places online.
Jack Jones sings this song with so much feeling.He is a brilliant vocalist ,Pure Vocals & Great range..5 *****..Marc Jones-Vocalist..Los Angeles,U.S.A.

Jack is TOPS! Tough song to sing. Tommy Dorsey's Theme in the original key (D) yet! I thought Hollywood Palace was in color by 1968?

Make no mistake..this is a tough song to sing.The intervals go all over the range but,no surprise,the master delivers with ease....
