RIP Jack Jones

He had a long term relationship with Susan George in the 1970s. There’s a video of them singing together on YouTube- she has a fairly forgettable voice.

An american singer Tenko. As said above lovely voice. Very popular. Has just died from leukaemia at 86. Lots to read about him on the internet of course. Had 6 wives!!

Thank you

It's interesting Jack Jones grew up in the rock and roll era, but instead of wanting to be the next Elvis, he chose easy listening instead and covering other musicians songs in this style. Not really a singer I know a massive amount about, but he was popular on the live circuit and on television for decades.

My dad loved his music. He used to sing all the songs to us. I loved the song "Wives and Lovers"

But have you listened to the lyrics?
‘ Day after day, there are girls at the office
And men will always be men.
Don’t send him off with your hair still in curlers
You may not see him again’!

But he was so gorgeous, I’ll forgive him!

( And I am reminded of my friend’s mum, mother of six, who took off the apron and put on pearls and lipstick every night before daddy came home )

I saw him on stage many years ago. Such a velvety voice and such a good-looking man.

I remember listening to his LP titled “Bread Winners” it was cover versions of the soft rock band Bread - always loved those songs and they take me right back to about 1973/4 aged 12 or 13🫠
