Linda Jones....a young pretty woman with an amazing voice ....was ahead of her time. I've grown to love it at the age of 29. She definitely had Soul. Always have, and always will through her daughter Terry. Linda , RIP. Your music will live eternally. I Miss You Sweet Sagittarius.
Linda Jones, one of the most underrated female artist. A woman, who The Queen of Soul stated, could have became The Queen of Soul. Such a beautiful soulful voice, filled with emotion of a failed relationship. Her singing touched my soul, the music of that era, was indeed talent. She had gift from Our Father. Linda Jones passed away at the age of 27, she will be forever young.
WHAT? Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin said that???!!! I can't believe it! I'm not saying you're lying, but with all I know about Aretha throughout many years, I can't believe she said that! There are some things in life that we just can't wrap our heads around. For me this is one of them. If you recall where you read or heard Aretha Franklin say that, please let me know,
Along time ago in a beautiful land far away Linda Jones Left way way way to soon God always knows best but I still love Linda Jones today now and forevermore I don't know who I love more her or Betty Wright I will swear in front of any judge in the land i dont know which one of them Whew humph❤️💯 Linda Jones's voice has been untouched till today 2023 wow I don't think in the up-and-coming future there will never be another voice like Linda Jones or Betty Wright❤️💯❤️
IT SHOULD HAVE CAUSE I HAVE LISTENED TO THIS SONG 4,999,999..........I LOVE THE HELL OUT OF THIS ONE ,I WISH THAT I COULD HAVE PERSONALLY TOLD LINDA JONES MYSELF,....SO SHE COULD KNOW WHAT I THINK OF HER,..I THIVK SHE IS THE MOST POWERFUL SONGSTRESS TO EVER PASS THROUGH MY EAR,....I LOVE LINDA JONES SHE IS SIMPLY PHENOMONAL!!!!!!!
LOOKING BACK AT : LINDA JONES Soul Singer, Linda Jones Death At 27 Linda Jones died at 27 years and 91 days old on March 14, 1972. Her death was attributed to complications from diabetes which she had suffered from since childhood. Jones was in many ways the epitome of the American female soul singer, with a range and power that made her recordings dramatic, passionate, painful, and cathartic. Her musical style was many years ahead of the times in the genre of R&B, being much more similar to modern singers in her melismatic and histrionic vocalizations and treatments. Unfortunately, she was cut down just when it looked like she might have some degree of success after many years of struggle. This was yet another irony that seems to stick to members of the forever 27 club like glue, and certainly leads one to wonder about the cruelties of fate - or the curse of impending stardom. Jones was born on December 14, 1944, in Newark, New Jersey. Her talents were evident to her musical parents from an early age, and she joined the Jones Singers when she was 6 years old. The gospel group was a source of inspiration and education for the young girl, and she thrived in the unique setting. She undoubtedly learned her approach to singing in this real-life school, since her recordings have many of the hallmarks of gospel - the energy and passion, the choral back-ups, the church-derived instrumental accompaniment. When she was 19 she made her first recording, a song called “Lonely Teardrops,” released with the name of Linda Lane. After a couple of years and labels were unsuccessful for her, she was signed to a subsidiary of Warner Brothers Records, Loma, in 1967 and had her first hit with “Hypnotized.” In 1971 she joined Turbo Records and recorded for them until her untimely death. It was at this promising point in her career that she learned the true nature of the symptoms that had bothered her for some time - diabetes. With some hit singles under her belt and a growing reputation as a powerful and one-of-a-kind female soul stylist, she was appearing at the famous Apollo Theater in New York City. She had gone to her nearby home to rest between an afternoon show and a scheduled evening show when she suddenly lapsed into a coma from the disease that she had only recently learned she had. She died at 27 in the hospital soon after arriving there. She is buried in the Rosedale and Rosehill Cemetery in Linden, New Jersey.
Linda Jones set the standard for a great deal of female artist to go by, her range, her delivery and her gospel overtone is awesome. She is truly missed and will never be forgotten. Today artist don't even come close.
Oh what a time "true" soul singer greats like Linda Jones must be having where ever they are. It seems that they are all going away, but I hope that we will be hearing their music for years to come. I can just imagine what a time they must be having. I wish that I had been around to actually see Linda Jones in concert. I'm told by family member of that generation that the concerts were absolutely soulful. R.I.P Linda Jones!!! I love your music!
I have EVERYTHING except this one, THANK YOU for posting it. I've had it in my favorites for 1 year, but could not compose myself long enough to leave a message. I LOVE TO HEAR THIS WOMAN SING...I have several stories about meeting her, and hearing her sing that are entirely too numerous for this page.
the fiery voice and spirit of her voice, the best of the top five singers( phyllis hyman, Linda Jones, Shirley bassey, Brenda holloway. , Angela winbush. )
Linda Jones all of her Albums should be re released all of her unreleased recordings with her original Album covers.... My name Reggie S. McKinney from Danbury CT.
When a person was in love they loved with all their being. Wouldn't run in the other unless the healing was over. Wauting for their return. Hurt was so deep, but love was deeper.
Ms Jones was forward thinking. She said to her significant other, “I never thought to give you a ring”. Very forward thinking fir a woman to offer a ring in those days. You go, Ms Jones. Ms Linda Jones. My icon, my heart. SIP.🙏🏽
Linda is such a powerful singer. I am in my early 50's and i just started to listen to her. She is just wonderful to hear. Thank you.

Linda Jones all of her Albums should be re released all of her unreleased recordings with her original Album covers.... My name Reggie S. McKinney from Danbury CT.
I honestly believe if Linda Jones had lived, she would have surpassed Aretha, Gladys and any other female singer of her time.
She would've to obtained the materials( songs) and her regular tunesmith George Kerr is sort of a hit and miss.
