Actually a very fine singer. One of the last greats.

I hear him on Sirius radio all the time.

Jones was primarily a straight-pop singer (even when he recorded contemporary material) whose forays into jazz were mostly of the big-band/swing variety. He won two Grammy Awards and has received a total of five nominations.

As you said, one of the last greats. I hate to see them go.

RIP, Jack Jones.
