What a handsome man. He could have been a leading man in any movie. He was that gorgeous. And his talent? Wow! What a voice. I have always adored him - even as a young child I sat spellbound when he was on television. I hope he is doing well now.
Jack Jones is still performing Singing at 85 years old and he is still Handsome. I agree he is a Beautiful Romantic Talented Man. Wow !! Unforgettable!! Jean Mooney
He just couldn't deliver onscreen though he was so charismatic on stage. Voice. Looks. Charm. He seemed introverted in the acting roles. He was on every variety show and guest hosted Ed Sullivan. He was in a Rat Patrol episode, a film with his dad, and another film. Of course he was so good at what he did as a singer he didn't need to be a good actor, too!
The Zeppo Strikes Back! -- Underrated as a singer for certain, one of those voices that is just wonderful to listen to. You can see him as a panelist on What's My Line? and also a mystery guest when he was in his 20's and he comes off as a very nice guy.
Because he is a good guy. If he was notorious and getting into all kinds of trouble you betcha they will keep talking abt him. America loves notoriety.... for example Sinatra.
What a gorgeous man to top off a stellar voice......always loved his work. The Shadow of Your Smile---This was my late father's favorite song. Ahh the sixties.
The best rendition heard of Shadow of Your Smile. Orchestra and women's chorus a beautiful addition. I've played this over and over. Johnny Mandel could really write 'em.
100% the best rendition, and to think this performance is live, with that Orchestra and backing singers arrangement, just a magical moment thankfully recorded forever more.
Flawless! Jones has a huge following for baby boomers. Although not as popular as the other greats like Sinatra, Bennett or Mathis, as far as I'm concerned he's still in the same class. He's an exceptional vocalist and is still going strong. Thanks Jack Jones!
Jack's father Alan Jones was also one of the best singers of the 1930's and 40's. Jack certainly inherited his Dad's passion and power in his singing. Two great singers. I heard Alan in concert in Sydney in the middle 1980's. He lost very little of his voice and was a terrific guy.
Very nice to listen to Jack Jones sing. He was tall at 6'1", handsome and suave, looked great in a tux, with a beautiful baritone voice. Nice guy, too, which is more than I can say for a certain other baritone of the previous generation who sang similar types of songs.
This was actually in the 1960s. I think he was still a little bit young in the 1950s. He was signed to Capital Records in 1959 and his first hit, "Lollipops and Roses" was in 1961.
My father was a wonderful singer as well at this time though never truely famous...and I still have a great appreciation for a song well sung. Beautiful voice...
I think I"ve exhausted all the Utube videos of Jack Jones singing....WOW BRAVO...the innocence of yesteryear..he certainly was one romantic balladier...and also the up tempo ones are so sexy too...and he continiues to appeari in concerts ...hope to see him sing in my SF Bay Area this year... ..thanks for posting..
Thank you Marc! You know he is a great singer that´s why he is your inspiration in your career with musician and singer at all; I also like his voice very much; I appreciate it. God bless you and good luck! peace & love, Daniela
MY MOTHER HAD A CRUSH ON HIM. HE LOOKS LIKE A LEADING MAN, VERY GOOD VOICE, BUT HE FOR SOME REASON NEVER MADE IT TO THE TOP TIER, ALTHOUGH VERY POPULAR. I GUESS THERE WERE A LOT OF SINGERS LIKE HIM BACK IN HIS DAY AND IT TOOK A VERY SPECIAL SOMETHING TO REALLY BREAK THROUGH.
Jack Jones Simplesmente sensacional! Feliz Natal para todos qe postaram seus comentários. Edson Itaipu / Niterói / Rio de Janeiro / Brasil - 22/12/2013
Another song takes me back when I was young. I think of my first boyfriend. You sing it beautifully, perfection at it”s Best JackJones upthere with the best of them love your sing voice 💕
The shadow of your smile When you have gone Will color all my dreams And light the dawn Look into my eyes my love and see All the lovely things you are to me Our wistful little star It was far, too high A teardrop kissed your lips And so did I Now when I remember spring All the joys that love can bring I will be remembering The shadow of your smile
What an amazing era this was for popular music! Great "adult" music like this all over our television and radio airwaves, and right alongside it the "youth" music of Motown, Dylan, The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel and the bossa nova and latin-pop of Sergio Mendes, Antonio Carlos Jobim, etc. etc... It was mind-boggling!
Jack Jones is one of the main reasons I never pursued a singing career. How could anyone top him? Yes, he is right up there with Sinatra, Tony Bennet and Vic Damone. I am so glad he is still with us. I know times have changed, but, it would be nice to have someone out there today this good. Michael Buble is ok, but not in Jack's ball park.

So damned underrated as a singer. He was every bit as great as Sinatra, Damone and Bennett.
I discovered Jack Jones during the Covid confinement, I am in love with his songs.
Those were the days my friend we thought they’d never end
god where did the music that sounds this beautiful go...
Maybe someone will bring it back someday, just hope people will let them..
Boy does this brings back wonderful memories of fine crooners singing great songs
One of the most underrated crooners from that era.

+ToddSF 94109 I just saw a youtube video of the Password game show with Jack Jones. He was quite good at password.
Because he is a good guy. If he was notorious and getting into all kinds of trouble you betcha they will keep talking abt him. America loves notoriety.... for example Sinatra.
So true..very underrated..love his style of singing..
Agree !!!
A beautiful man whose voice was and is a superb musical instrument.
How beautiful is that?! I have been a JJ fan since the 60s, and still am! He has an exceptional voice. I never tire of him.
... that was and is real good and perfect music; what an amazing voice, Jack Jones 😍🙂👍🙋♂️🇩🇪🍀
What a beautiful bright and clear tone he had. He and Vic Damone both had that bright sound.
Superb vocal technique. magnificent singer.
He had a great voice....smooth and had power.
Beauty, talent, class, elegance, charisma... all those words define Jack Jones.
Oh,oui,oui,oui!!!
Beauty, talent, class, elegance, charisma.....good songsssssss
it's the breath control .....no one did it better , phrasing is perfect .
What a gorgeous man to top off a stellar voice......always loved his work. The Shadow of Your Smile---This was my late father's favorite song. Ahh the sixties.

Classic song and arrangement by a GREAT singer!!!!
Perfect Voice, Perfect Artist, Perfect Everything respect
One of the best singers in the business, he still sounds great.
What a Voice ! Sensual and strong. What happened to talent today? Always one of the best during that era.
Always loved Jack Jones and one of my favorite songs Shadow Of Your Smile , Class and very handsome ❤️
"LA SOMBRA DE TU SONRISA", HERMOSA CANCIÓN EN LA MÁS LINDA VOZ DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS. GRACIAS JACK!!
Flawless! Jones has a huge following for baby boomers. Although not as popular as the other greats like Sinatra, Bennett or Mathis, as far as I'm concerned he's still in the same class. He's an exceptional vocalist and is still going strong. Thanks Jack Jones!
Ronette Blissett
Even those born during WWII are his fans.
Big Nick...says great singer,,,in Sinatra and Matt Monroe mode,. however lacks real feeling....
Ronette Blissett I put him at the top of your list, his voice is flawless and at age 77 still is sounding great...Sinatra was shot at 57..
He was a handsome bastard. No disrespect intended.
One of my favorite male singers ever....
Love the sets..simple yet classy.and Jack cool and what a voice....
Jack Jones sure had the gorgeous looks in the 1960s...a bygone era!
lotusbuds2000 m
Every thing is bygone one day
What a tragedy!
It doesn't get better than this. He is the greatest
Miss those days of better music.
Timeless... love his voice... now singing is so different...
That voice.....those eyes.....that hair. He was and he remains one hell of an entertainer.
Just discovering this great singer. I was a Rock fan. Now I appreciate these great singers and great songwriting.
Beautiful voice also very handsome, wonderful performer
Jack's father Alan Jones was also one of the best singers of the 1930's and 40's.
Jack certainly inherited his Dad's passion and power in his singing.
Two great singers.
I heard Alan in concert in Sydney in the middle 1980's. He lost very little of his voice and was a terrific guy.
Bravo e bellissimo ❤❤❤🤗
AFN Berlin, 88.5 MHz, maybe 50 years ago, this song, and a young East German boy was in tears, like I'm today..
A great show There were so many then. Class act. Julie London, Como, All classy, well dressed, and a cool time in the USA
Very nice to listen to Jack Jones sing. He was tall at 6'1", handsome and suave, looked great in a tux, with a beautiful baritone voice. Nice guy, too, which is more than I can say for a certain other baritone of the previous generation who sang similar types of songs.
Best crooner ever wish music could go back to the 50s
This was actually in the 1960s. I think he was still a little bit young in the 1950s. He was signed to Capital Records in 1959 and his first hit, "Lollipops and Roses" was in 1961.
totally agree with you, Kehoepat. he was a true talent, a glorious voice that moves me over and over.
What an exceptional talent, and handsome as well.
How good speaks for itself
What a cutie and what a good singer.
Handsome, not plastic-looking like today's stars.
One day I was in goodwill and picked up and album of his listened to it and fell in love and he's gorgeous
Live these songs reminds me of my Grandparents forever
Good timing-good diction-and a good vocal range and one of the greats !
Jack Jones very talented, and also extremely.
My father was a wonderful singer as well at this time though never truely famous...and I still have a great appreciation for a song well sung. Beautiful voice...
Sheesh he still gives me chills.
They just don't make them as good as this anymore.
Beautiful, Handsome, Awesome...
All...
Beautiful song and arrangement. Especially impressed with the background woman's chorus
Good looking singer. One of the best of the bygone era.
Those ladies did a fine vocal performance ,too!
I think I"ve exhausted all the Utube videos of Jack Jones singing....WOW BRAVO...the innocence of yesteryear..he certainly was one romantic balladier...and also the up tempo ones are so sexy too...and he continiues to appeari in concerts ...hope to see him sing in my SF Bay Area this year... ..thanks for posting..

Great post! We used to watch the "Hollywood Palace" when we were kids! Classy Jack Jones!!!
a perfect, almost operatic voice. great art.
rodel naval
Absolute quality.
He is still singing his heart out. He has aged gracefully, after all he is from good genes. Still a good singer.
GREAT performances!!!! Thank you VERY much for sharing this with us!!!!!!
MY MOTHER HAD A CRUSH ON HIM. HE LOOKS LIKE A LEADING MAN, VERY GOOD VOICE, BUT HE FOR SOME REASON NEVER MADE IT TO THE TOP TIER, ALTHOUGH VERY POPULAR. I GUESS THERE WERE A LOT OF SINGERS LIKE HIM BACK IN HIS DAY AND IT TOOK A VERY SPECIAL SOMETHING TO REALLY BREAK THROUGH.
Gorgeous man with twinkling eyes and a gorgeous voice. Enjoyable.
The arrangement is impressive Jones is a legend.
class never goes out of style...

The best vocalist of his time. Thank you for posting. This goes to my favs.
Hot Damn !!! ♥️♥️♥️What a Hunk. Always been a Favorite …… Chris.♥️🎶🥀🎶♥️🥰🌴😎
Jack's studio recording of The Shadow of Your Smile on Kapp Records is also excellent.
A great song.
Not many people could deliver a song so convincingly with their arms akimbo.
Im not gòna lie, i love songs like these and from that period also.
Maravilhoso!! Wondeful!
Another song takes me back when I was young. I think of my first boyfriend. You sing it beautifully, perfection at it”s Best JackJones upthere with the best of them love your sing voice 💕
Dreamy. OMG.
Great singer, arrangement & composer (Johnny Mandel). What's really moving are the background singers. Absolutely beautiful.
You are the love of my songs, Jack
Um post melhor que o outro, excelente trabalho. Com Gratidão.
The shadow of your smile
When you have gone
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn
Look into my eyes my love and see
All the lovely things you are to me
Our wistful little star
It was far, too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I
Now when I remember spring
All the joys that love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile
My mother was crazy about Jack Jones so was my family great guy alao
What an amazing era this was for popular music! Great "adult" music like this all over our television and radio airwaves, and right alongside it the "youth" music of Motown, Dylan, The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel and the bossa nova and latin-pop of Sergio Mendes, Antonio Carlos Jobim, etc. etc... It was mind-boggling!
He was ahead of his time! Now we know. 2023...
thank you for the nice musik
Thanks for sharing your Jack Jones story. That would have made my month!
nice voice
Oh Jack, always a pleasure..........and my favorite sandpipter tune..........dreamy
meraviglioso....
Tormé was the Velvet Fog; Jones is pure silk.
a great singer the son of another great singer. he also was lucky to be singing when the the great romantic composers were busy. rpc
I always love him when he appeared at the telethon of Jerry Lewis
Piano player is COOKIN’ on that second song. 👍🎹
WOW!!!!!
thanks!!
Jack Jones was greatest in the world.
Real Class
Cool its Jason Funderberker (The Frog) in Over The Garden Wall
:DDD his voice is still pretty cool in his age of 77 today :)
Jack Jones very talented, and also extremely handsome.
Jack top of your game
Jack Jones is one of the main reasons I never pursued a singing career. How could anyone top him? Yes, he is right up there with Sinatra, Tony Bennet and Vic Damone. I am so glad he is still with us. I know times have changed, but, it would be nice to have someone out there today this good. Michael Buble is ok, but not in Jack's ball park.
Lovely!
As far a I know, he still tours. Saw him in Boca 2 (?) years ago. Still sounded good (really, not like Frank's last years), and looked good.
Yeah he really could sing and still can
Perfect
The twilight of class.
Great!!!
