Jack Jones Tribute

Here is a famous song written by Michel Legrand and performed by the big-voiced Jack Jones.
Jack Jones (born John Allan Jones in 1938) is an American jazz and pop singer and one of the most popular vocalists of the 1960's. He was rated highly by Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland called him the best jazz singer in the world, although Jones was always a straight pop singer (even when he recorded contemporary material) and rarely ventured in the direction of jazz. Jones won two Grammy Awards. He performs concerts around the world and remains popular in Las Vegas. He recorded "Strangers in the Night" before Sinatra did. Towards the end of the sixties, Jones moved from London Records (in the UK, Kapp Records in the U.S.) to RCA Records, until the eighties, at which time he had changed his appearance from the smooth club entertainer of the 1960's Las Vegas scene to the longhaired singer of the early seventies. In 1979, he moved to MGM Records, recording the famous "Love Boat" theme. His second MGM album featured duets with Maureen McGovern. It was Jones' last album with MGM. Since 1980, he has recorded only a handful of albums, and now performs in various concert arenas and occasionally appears on the supper-club circuit. Jones has acted in several films, namely in the 1959 musical "Juke Box Rhythm". He had a well-publicized relationship with glamorous actress Jill St. John. They were married briefly.
Listen to the rich baritone of the very romantic Jack and enjoy!

This is the first time I've ever heard this song, and it's awesome! Jack Jones can certainly belt out a song. I have a personal favorite song of his, and it's called "Call Me Irresponsible", and I can hear it over and over, and this song is Beautiful! Thanks so much for posting such a beautiful and classy song by such a classy guy like Jack Jones. May I also add that the video is outstanding! I sure would like to see Jack in concert. God Bless!

@450984 I agree class and talent are no longer prerequisites for stardom. I was thrilled yesterday when I heard the song "Call Me Irresponsible" by Jack Jones on the radio. I'm obviously out of town because God knows there's not a decent radio station where I live that plays beautiful music. It's all trash where I live except for this one Christian station. You're right. Jack Jones was very underrated. I always enjoy hearing his songs.

@Beautifulmusiclistnr My personal favorite of this extremely talented singer also is "Call Me Irresponsible". Lucklly there are 2 good versions of it on you-tube.He certainly was a very underrated singer. His type of singing, sadly was losing favor after the mid-sixties. Class & talent are no longer prerequisites for stardom!

JJ is one of the great American popular singers. We are blessed with his rich, warm high-baritone, supported by outstanding vocal technique, musicianship and musical intelligence. Also what every fine singer demonstrates: attention to the sounds of words, how vowels and consonants relate to one another:) -

@lifeisonehugedream Are you sure it's called "By the light of the Full Moon"? I'm familiar with "By the light of the Silvery Moon" and Doris Day sang it, and Howard Keel and Doris sang a duet together in the movie "Calamity Jane" from the 1950's, but it was a different song. I'm sorry I wasn't much help. Thanks

Please, does anybody know of a song i thought Jack Jones sang called " By the light of the Full Moon" . Maybe some other artist did it instead ??

thanks
