Who can ever forget the classic ditties “She,” “The Love Boat Theme,” “The Impossible Dream,” “What I Did For Love,” “Wives And Lovers,” “Free Again,” “If You Go Away” and “Lollipops And Roses,” among many others?No other artist could have interpreted these songs with such musical perfection than their original singer, Jack Jones, one of the most popular vocalists of the ’60s.
Jack Jones will treat Pinoy fans to a magical evening featuring a dazzling collection of his greatest hits when he visits Manila for a live concert on Oct. 16 at the Araneta Coliseum.
Dubbed as “Jack Jones’ Greatest Hits Tour,” the musical presentation from Ovation Productions will showcase the breadth and diversity of talent of the American idol who rose to fame with his distinctive music.
Jones will wow the audience with such classic hits as “She,” “The Love Boat Theme,” “The Impossible Dream,” “What I Did For Love,” “Wives And Lovers,” “Free Again” and “If You Go Away.”
Other all-time favorites he will perform are “The Shadow Of Your Smile,” “With One More Look At You,” “As Time Goes By,” “Strangers In The Night,” “Call Me Irresponsible,” “Lollipops And Roses,” and many more.
Born in Los Angeles to romantic lead actor and recording artist Allan Jones and actress Irene Harvey, Jack Jones began studying music in high school and, after graduation, made his professional debut at age 19 by joining his father’s act at the Thunderbird Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
His biggest pop hit was “Wives And Lovers” (1964) by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, which also won for him a Grammy Award for Best Pop Male Vocal Performance.
In his recent release for Honest Entertainment, “Jack Jones Paints A Tribute To Tony Bennett,” he pays homage to a friend and an American icon whom he counts as among the vocalists who most influenced his style (along with Mel Torme, Sammy Davis, Jr., Billy Eckstein and Frank Sinatra).
The album, which contains some of Bennett’s signature songs (including three of Jones’ personal Bennett favorites, “Skylark,” “Shadow Of Your Smile” and “You Must Believe In Spring”), was nominated for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance and Record of The Year.
As a movie actor, Jones made his film debut in “Juke Box Rhythm” (1959) and acted in other films, like “The Comeback,” “Cruise Of The Gods” and “Airplane II: The Sequel.”
Now on his 52nd year in show business, Jones continues to entertain and regale millions with his golden voice.
