JJ song(s): What are you doing the rest of your life, all my t
Dear Jack,
I had the privilege of meeting you while I was performing on the S.S. Norway in a trio Sullivan, Ellis , and Boris. I know for a fact that you were the only performer that came on the ship that the orchestra actually got excited about. I believe Adrian Rosen and Danny Michelli(spelling?) were with you then. I always thought that you were a greatly under rated singer. Your phrasing, delivery, range, straight tone w/o all the vibrato that your contemporaries had set you apart as a great jazz stylist. I always got the impression that you must have been on the wrong side of the establishment of L.A. Music business, for you never seemed to have gotten the recognition you deserve. In any event, I am glad to see that you still are performing, and will try and see your act in Florida this coming winter. I still play in Virginia, and D.C. Mostly jazz and society gigs. I will continue to sing your praises to young singers and musicians I work with. I wish you continued success
Regards,
Bruce Sullivan/Richmond, bva

I worked with Jack at the Venetian Room at the Fairmont Hotel in Dallas, Tx back in May of 1984. I ran lights for that venue for 2 years and worked with some great artists. Jack was my favorite followed by Joe Williams!
I am flying to Las Vegas from Arlington Texas to see his concert at the Suncoast Htel and Casino Nov. 23, 2014. I have bought my tickets and have great seats! I hope I can meet with him for just a minute to get an autograph and chat.
Can't wait until November! It's been 30 years since I've heard that wonderful voice!!!

I am from the Philippines and am a huge fan of Mr. Jack Jones. Always listen to the great music of yours. I missed your concert at the Araneta Coliseum last year but I promise I will not miss it the next time around. Hope I could have a glimpse of you or if am lucky enough, to hug you and say thank you for making my listening to your golden voice and your music a very rewarding experience.
Thank you very much,

I have never seen you in person and that is one item on my bucket list. I have loved your songs since I was in college. My husband and I used to dance to your music and make love to them. He has been gone for 12 lonely years. Perhaps, I may get to Vegas to see you before I kick the bucket.
Love you and your music,
Kay

Jack,
if we come to see you in Las Vegas in November, any chance you'd sing these two old songs that I love? Might walk to hear them once more.
long time fan,

My wife and I attended Jack's Sarurday show at The Catalina Jazz Club in Hollywood, and what a treat it was - made the more by his lovely wife Eleonora having arranged a table for us adjacent to the stage. As per the norm Jack provided us with yet another evening of exhilerating music.
In total contrast to the larger, at times cold, venues, The Catalina is actually quite small, but warm, intimate, and even cozy. It can conjure up images of those genuine night clubs that were so regulalry featured in many of the old, classical, black-and-whites!
Jack, in his element, one could tell, immediatey gelled with an audience of all ages (which included several prominent musicians, all of whom so obviously appereciate his unique skills) and soon had them whooping it up from all corners of the room. Down amongst us rabble a few times, there was much 'hooping and a-hollering' - the atmosphere was electric...........and it was oh so apparent that Jack was having a much fun as the rest of us!
Looking back, it's been many a year since we saw Jack perform in such a 'comfortable' environment........and both my wife and myself appreciated how fortunate we were once again to enjoy the experience, and hope that it will not be too long a-fore we are able to do it again!
Thank you Eleonora for arranging such a wonderful evening, and thanks again Jack for the fabulous show..........which, by the way, was far too short!

I said I would write when I found out just how we are related. Your grandfather, Daniel, and my great-grandmother, Annie, were brother and sister. IMy Goddaughter found this info on ancestry.com, along with an obit of your grandfather's. In the abit, it states that your father received the news of his father's death while returning after performing for the king and queen of England, along with Gracie Fields and Dinah Shore. Since my mother and her sister have passed away, there was no one left to ask. My grandmother was Jenni Williams/Owen. Her father was Gomer Williams, married to your grandfather's sister, Annie. It was on my bucket list to find this info, and I would also like to see you in person. When you were last in Wilmington, DE, I found out about it after the fact. I wish you could write to me, and let me know when you might be coming back this way. I live in New Castle, DE, just outside of Wilmington.
Favorite JJ song(s): She
Hello . I was able to fly to LA to see Jack at The Catalina Club in June . I watched him perform on Friday night and again on Saturday night . I have been a fan of Jack's since I was 18 years old . Finally, at the age of 61, I decided to make a weekend of it . I flew from Indianapolis to LA on Thursday night and did a turn around flight on Sunday . Both concerts were magnificent . He began the evening with , LA Breakdown, which was perfect . He performed nonstop . No breaks . Because of his lovely wife, I was able to have a picture taken with Jack and he also signed an album cover that I had packed in my suitcase . I had an amazing seat and two amazing nights of pure entertainment . Believe me folks... He's still got it . Nobody should be able to hold their notes that long . I don't have a bucket list per se, but if I did, I can now check a huge one off of the list . Thank you Eleonora and Jack for a night of magic . Deborah Fenoglio

I always loved to see and hear Jack sing. Hr's so handsome and talented. He and I are the same age, so I was listening to him, back when he first started. Still just as handsome as always.

Mr. Jones: Were your Dad and Louis Hayward friends? A friend has a photo of the two of them at a nightclub with their dates. Louis may have been between marriages. There are 10 of us nuts who are fans of Louis. My family had the large 12 inch 78 album of your father singing Night and Day. I believe the whole album included Cole Porter songs. I trust you are in good health and still going strong. I heard Herb Jeffries at the Sacramento Jazz festival about 10 plus years ago.l. He was then in his early 90s and his voice was amazing....and I choose that word carefully.....

'First time to watch Jack's concert last night with my husband here in the Philippines. Enjoyed his show. Even if he is already 76, he has maintained that great voice, his disarming smile and good looks. But I think he will look younger if he would dye his hair. How I wish I had the chance to have a picture with him. Really love his voice and songs. Wish him good health and many many more concerts. God bless.
