History
Jack Jones (born John Allan Jones, January 14, 1938, in Hollywood, California) was an American singer known for smooth, big-band-inflected traditional pop and easy listening. He was born the morning after his father, actor-singer Allan Jones, recorded his signature hit "The Donkey Serenade" — Jack later joked he was "practically born in a trunk." His mother was actress Irene Hervey. After a flop debut on Capitol Records in 1959, he signed with Kapp Records in 1961 and broke through with "Lollipops and Roses" (1962), followed by his biggest hit, "Wives and Lovers" (1963), written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. Both songs won him Grammy Awards for Best Vocal Performance, Male, out of seven total Grammy nominations across his career. He also sang the title song for the film "Love with the Proper Stranger" (1963) and the theme for "Anzio" (1968). His best-known credit today is the opening theme song for the TV series "The Love Boat." Jones performed into his eighties and died in 2024 at age 86.
