Background notes
Archive material and source history
Barbara Jones sang "Midnight Blue," a song written by Marvin Gaye that became her best-known recording. She was discovered by Berry Gordy at Motown Records in Detroit, where she started out singing in church choirs before moving to the label's Hitsville USA studio.
Her voice had a haunting quality that worked well on ballads like "Angel Of The Morning" and "Always On My Mind," both of which appear among her top songs. She recorded other material for Motown in the early 1960s, including the single "Do You Love Me."
Jones faced some legal issues with her Motown contract and personal difficulties, but she kept recording. Her catalog includes tracks like "(You're My) Soul And Inspiration" and "Woman In Me," which showcase her emotive vocal style.
