We went to see you in the early '70s in St. Louis. We were newly married and as you celebrate your 80th Birthday next year, we'll celebrate our 49th Anniversary. Have always loved your performances! If you ever get to The Villages, Florida, we have a guest bedroom for you and Eleonora. You can play golf and only sing if you want to sing.
God Bless!

Hello Just a little note and hopefully it will get to you. Trust all well with you. I cannot believe that by the time I will see you next 2 years will have passed still it is better than decades don't you think of course that only happened because I was in the dark and was unaware. At least now I can enjoy listening to you seeing I eventually hooked up to the Internet and now is my nightly entertainment albeit that it makes me very sad and happy at the same time. Do so wish I could fly over to the Catalina show. Perhaps I should take flying lessons! Well my dearest Jack take care and keep well and just know that I am here for you if you ever need me, told you that once remember. With love Vxx

Most beautiful voice ever. Your music has carried me through a few hard times - you may have no idea how many people were helped through your songs of life. So glad to see you are still spinning the world.

Hello Dearest Jack Tried to write last night but after all I wrote suddenly it vanished, I do not know what I do to cause that. Hope all ok with you. I am very glad that I have this Lap Top and at least know how to bring up all your numbers which I do regularly always makes me feel better of course you always have had that effect since 73 everlasting. Listening to your Seriously Frank CD I can relate to most of the songs not all of course. You sure swing away Jack on some of the numbers also really like the arrangements. The 'All or nothing at all' think that is the best tempo also arrangement I have heard you sing it so good my love of course I sing along with you. I do hear present and past very important. Well better end just in case this vanishes. Please take care and try and behave yourself (just joking) My love always to you I'll be seeing you Vxxxx

Hello My Dearest Jack, Hope all well with you in your life. I just wrote a whole letter to you and I do not know what I hit but the whole thing disappeared and I just cannot write it out all again tonight but I will write again tomorrow, I'm sorry. So silly with this Lap Top. Where is the song I wonder. At least I have booked for your Show's in Perth and Glasgow I am not familiar with these places now have to find Hotels etc. I don't really like going on my own at night and standing outside the Theatres flagging Cabs down there are some very strange people around these days oh well I do it only because it is you never for another would I do this. I am now going to listen to my favourite singer for an hour or two. Till tomorrow Goodnight from here With love always V XX

Just a note from an admiring fan. I was reminded by an old Jimmy Dean repeat, of all things, the quality of your ability to be classy and to stay in your style despite the situations! I doubt you have plans to come to Idaho, so consider this a thank you for your career and may you have a great Birthday tour. Be well
Sincerely,
Lonnie Swonger

Adoro as musicas! Quando vem a Portugal?

I always loved Jack Jones' voice, style, performance , looks , all of that. I've have been watching old shows of Jimmy Dean and Dinah Shore - he was a guest and terrific! I decided to search and I am delightfully surprised to see and hear - he is still vibrant and going strong with entertainment. Yay! I plan to order a CD later. I want to return many times to listen and view JJ on this website. Thanks - you made my morning.

To those who have yet to visit the city of Santa Barbara, my advice is to place it at the head of your 'To Do' list.
Santa Barbara, which is Spanish for 'Saint' Barbara. is located on a strip of the Californian coastline between the Santa Ynez Mountain range and the Pacific Ocean. Renowned for its Mediterranean climate, the area is oft referred to as the American Riviera. In 1602, Spanish explorer Vizcaino gave the city its current name. In 1769, French missionary Juan Crispi tried to rename it, Laguna de la Conception, however, Santa Barbara it remains.
Santa Barbara, featuring a style of architecture that combines both Spanish Colonial Revival and Mission Revival, boasts a host of diverse visitor attractions. These include numerous performing arts venues, the most notable being designated 'California Historic Landmark', the Lobero Theatre. Originally built as an opera theatre in 1873 by Italian immigrant Jose Lobero, in the early nineteen-twenties, it was converted into a fully-fledged theatre.
Proud of their city's dedication to the arts, the folks of Santa Barbara, particularly those I chatted with prior to Jack's March 24th concert, were thrilled that, following a lengthy absence, he had returned to their city, and to this venue in particular. Those very same folks, when our paths crossed later, were to a one buoyed at having been able to be a part of an outstanding display of unique artistic skills.
To a packed house, Jack opened his program with 'Sing For Your Supper', a song from the Rodgers and Hart musical 'The Boys From Syracuse' - which in turn was derived from Shakespeare's 'Comedy of Errors'.
Martha Raye performed the song in the film version - the sole occasion Jack's father, Allen, and his mother, Irene (Harvey), appeared together on screen. This number led into Jack's very own 'I Am a Singer' and on to the 'Sound of Music' medley, with a tremendous ovation to follow.
Jack performed several tracks from the much-acclaimed 'Seriously Frank' album; 'All or Nothing at All' with its powerful climax, and the 'first-love' pleading 'Teach Me Tonight'. But far and way above was Sammy Cahn's moving 'Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out To Dry'. One of Jack's all-time favourite love songs, he delivers it with such passion and emotion, his audience hang on to their breath - (no pocket coin-rustling permitted!), lest a change of note or phrase be missed!
'Without a Song'. It's been around since the late nineteen-twenties, and has been recorded by many artists. But this is a song that Jack has clearly taken a hold of, grasping it firmly between both hands; he now 'OWNS' it! Once again he amazed all with his vocal power, bringing the entire audience to their feet.
This Friday eve, amongst us was composer and Jack-close friend Alan Bergman. He took time to explain how between he, wife Marilyn, and Michel Legrand, the classical 'What Are You Doing The Rest of Your Life' love-ballad evolved, and how Jack's recording of it followed. Yup, this evening's arrangement differed some from the original, but was naturally.... wildly received.
In a lighter mode, with its composer Charlie Fox present, Jack belted out 'The Love Boat', and had the entire audience tapping and clapping to the beat.
'God Only Knows'.......a Brian Wilson (Beach Boys)composition that many have lauded as the greatest song ever, and was recorded, under his direction, on Jack's album, 'The Full Life'. It is indeed a superb song, and one that, over the years, Jack has consistently given us a 'never-to-be-surpassed' deliveries. On Friday however, Jack and Christian (Jacob) provided an arrangement subtly, noticeably different, but equally excellent!
In a nationwide tour, Jack played the part of Don Quixote in the musical version of 'Man From La Mancha'.
When he performs 'The Impossible Dream', we see him take a step back into that role. This song is also HIS!
He gives it the full treatment, and again, the final 'Impossible Note' had all on their feet!
Rocking things up some, Jack, Christian, Chris and Kendall, joined by Jack's close friend, 'Wild Paul Lowden' belted out the Joe Williams 'Well Alright, Okay, You Win...' With all of us clapping and stomping...... what a wild session!!!
Jack then toned things down and closed the show with Frankie Laine's reassuring 'We'll Be Together Again'.
Santa Barbara sure hopes so, and so does the Lobero Theatre!

Handsome man, beautiful music, well-chosen songs, plus a wonderful stage presence are just some of the reasons I have purchased Jack Jones albums since those early days when I had only babysitting ca$h. And just when you think things cannot possibly get any better, now digital technology allows us to hear every crystal clear note. Your life has enriched my life. God Bless. xoxo Karen Marie
