That's the recording I heard twenty times a day on the radio when I was a kid so it will forever be associated with Jones in my mind. But I have to admit it's hard to beat the inimitable Jimmy Smith.

Yep! posted the disco version only because Jack Jones was, and probably still is, the only one in the universe brave enough- the remix is much clearer, but longer. OTOH, You wouldn't get anyone doing a disco (or any other style) cover of this: Also, Peter Nero's version was included by mistake, so pulled it out, Got this one of Jimmy on vinyl: it's a cracker!

Pseron Wyrd Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 After talking about him here I felt compelled to look Jack Jones up on the internet. I was happy to discover that he is still alive! And I found out something else I didn't know: his father, Allen Jones, appeared in A night at the Opera and A Day at the Races with the Marx Brothers. I've seen those movies countless times and I never made the connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmstearn Posted May 24 Author Share Posted May 24 Is there a copyright notice for country on it? It's a State51 release, they are a UK outfit, but the clip is a U.S. production, so someone else apparently has the rights for the U.S. subscribers, sorry. Also getting this Sony notice from @Pseron Wyrd's post as well Quote Video unavailable This video contains content from SME, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncus Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 yep heard that this morning, the Queen of what ever she did. Sad to hear another of the artists I grew up with is gone, although we still have the recorded record of her art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
