GUESTBOOK

Jack\'s \"Christmas Day\" from Promises, Promises should be on every easy listening FM station in America at this time of year. It\'s fabulous!

The Suncoast Casino in Las Vegas is a pretty fun place full of pleasant, friendly staff. It also features a cozy, intimate showroom with excellent acoustics. For wife Maureen and I both, the venue provided both a new scene and experience. It was super to meet up (Nove. 22nd) once again with Eleonora and Jack, and as expected, we were treated to yet another virtuoso performance by the \"master of his craft\". Only part-through his opening number, and Jack had already taken hold and grasped thereafter in his hand, an audience that buzzed with enthusiasm, as was evidenced by the constant cheering and the numerous standing ovations. Just prior to the concert,I chatted to several folks who\'d never before seen Jack perform live......and afterward.......so many were keen for a repeat! Great songs all, but for Maureen in particular,\"The Music Of The Night\" never fails to be her hi-light.....how else could she possibly explain goose-bump chills developing midst the Las Vegas desert heat? And I agree with her - if ever a song was custom-fit for....! Those who have not been fortunate enough to attend one of Jack\'s concerts have truly missed out, for there exists a chasm of difference between a recording (no matter how good)and such brilliant live performances. I must say that I\'ve been very privileged, primarily through the hospitality of Eleonora to meet and natter with professional musicians who\'ve known and at times worked with Jack during his career. Full of compliments all. But the one that registered the most and has stuck with me ever since is: \"Jack is the Consummate Singer and Musician\" - and this from a gentleman who has known and worked with the best! That particular statement set my brain a-whirling, so much so that now I \'get it\'! So many performers literally \"Paint By Numbers\"; both mechanical and formulaic, they become reluctant to stray too far from the path which led to their initial success. Jack by contrast, is an \"Artiste\" in the true sense of the word; he allows his creative imagination to run free and as a result quite clearly \"feels\" rather than \"acts-out\" his songs. He frequently tosses variations into his numbers, at times quite subtle, at others more noticeable. On the spur of the moment? Only he knows, but whichever version shows up - it\'s still \"the real goods!\" My advice to all: if Jack\'s schedule brings him into your area, make the most of it and \"go-see\"! You\'ll ne\'er come away disappointed! Eleonora and Jack, we thank you once again for a truly wonderful and memorable evening - always lovely to see you both. Maureen and Alan London

How can I get A tICKET TO THE deC 5TH aTLANTIC city CONCERT??

have been a fan for many years. Been to many concerts over the years from Las Vegas to the UK. Think that Jack is the best Ballad Singer. Hope he returns to the Uk 2015.

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

Favorite JJ song(s): Wives and Lovers The other favorite performers: Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee 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!!!

Favorite JJ song(s): Toys in the attic The other favorite performers: gorme and como So many great memories of 60\'s music but wives and lovers,call me irresponsible and the best toys in the attic all within 12 mths.who else did that? Saw jack at a mcgovern political rally at my college in sacramento in 68.such unexpected treat and i couldnt even vote then! Didnt think to get an autograph.keep on keeping on for all of us.thank you, lynn johnson another boomer admirer.

Favorite JJ song(s): L.A. Breakdown and Don\'t Be Scared 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, Anne

Favorite JJ song(s): All of them 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.
