Jack Jones (born Jan. 14, 1938, in Hollywood, Calif.) is a traditional pop singer. He is the only son of actors Allan Jones and Irene Hervey. He released his first album in 1959 on Capitol Records, but didn't find success until he moved to Kapp Records in early 1960s. During that time, he was rated highly by Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland called him the best jazz singer in the world, although Jones was always a straight pop singer (even when he recorded contemporary material) and rarely ventured in the direction of jazz.
