Jack Jones

John Allan Jones (January 14, 1938 – October 23, 2024) was an American singer and actor. He was primarily a straight-pop singer (even when he recorded contemporary material) whose forays into jazz were mostly of the big-band/swing music variety. He won two Grammy Awards and received five additional nominations. Notably, he sang the opening theme song for the television series The Love Boat. Jones continued to perform concerts around the world and in Las Vegas. His most popular recordings include "Lollipops and Roses", "Call Me Irresponsible", "Wives and Lovers", "The Race Is On", "A Day in the Life of a Fool", and "The Impossible Dream". He also sang the opening theme for the 1968 war film Anzio ("This World Is Yours") as well as the title song for the 1963 film Love with the Proper Stranger, which played on a radio in the film contributing to the storyline.
