Biography

Showing the Discogs bio

New Orleans born R&B artist best known for the 1960 hit, "You Talk Too Much". Born August 12, 1926, Jones went on to discover and manage the Dixie Cups before moving to Los Angeles in 1973 where he founded his own music publishing firm and became an advocate for black R&B artists, helping them recover their rights to their songs since many hadn't known much about recording contracts and unwisely signed away their royalties. Jones died on November 27, 2005 at the age of 79 in Los Angeles, following quadruple bypass surgery.
Do NOT confuse with US West Coast singer Joe C. Jones.
