Editor's note

Jack Jones, the smooth baritone who sang standards

A Los Angeles singer who recorded lush versions of songs like 'The Windmills Of Your Mind' and 'Love Letters'.

For a good sense of his style, listen to 'The Windmills Of Your Mind' or 'If.' They capture that smooth, arranged sound he was known for.

He had that kind of voice that could handle both pop and jazz standards without sounding out of place. Quincy Jones discovered him in 1960, and he went on to record over 50 albums. Songs like 'Love Letters' show how he worked with those lush arrangements that became his signature.

He started with albums like 'The Jack Jones Show' after Quincy Jones found him. Later he faced personal troubles and a lawsuit in 1998, but kept performing into the 2000s with musicians like Dave Brubeck.

He recorded songs like 'The Windmills Of Your Mind,' 'Without A Song,' and 'Love Letters,' often with lush arrangements that leaned into jazz and traditional American styles.
