GLENN JONES
There is no stopping Grammy Nominated Producer and Artist GLENN JONES. With his second new
single, “You & Me”, a forthcoming CD Love By Design, an upcoming tour, and his non-profit, The Love
Jones Foundation, Jones is a music force to be reckoned with.
You & Me is a smooth 1980 remake, originally done by Rocky Robbins, and made current with Glenn’s
notable vocals accompanied by #1 Billboard Jazz Guitarist Nick Colionne. It’s the second featured single
from his forthcoming CD, Love By Design on independent record label Talent Room Entertainment.
The first single, also titled Love By Design, features Grammy Award winner Regina Belle; and hit the
Billboard Smooth Jazz Charts as the #1 Most Added Smooth Jazz Vocal Record In The Nation. The single,
“Love By Design” was written by James Day and produced by renowned jazz producer Chris “Big Dog”
Davis. The song showcases Glenn’s signature tenor and upper register while it distinctly pairs it with the
richness of Regina’s vocals. Their incomparable vocals are perfectly matched with James Day’s melodic
lyrics, leaving listeners with a harmonious new ballad.
The new CD includes a mixture of new timeless love songs and up-tempo dance classics, one which is
titled “Cook-Out” co-written and produced by the multi-talented Chuckii Booker. It also features the
smooth jazz sounds of jazz great Kim Waters, and the long-awaited return of renowned gospel artist and
wife Genobia Jeter-Jones. The upcoming Love By Design Tour will feature music from the new CD, as
well as all the Glenn Jones classics.
With a voice that penetrates the soul thru music and lyrics, Jones is still one of the most sought after live
performers in the music industry today with many chart-topping hits including, “Here I Go Again”,
“We've Only Just Begun (The Romance Is Not Over) “I’ve Been Searching”, and “Show Me”. His
inspirational single, “Everyday” was truly a family reunion for Jones. He is joined on vocals by his wife,
Genobia Jeter-Jones and niece, Y’anna Crawley. Y’anna is the 2012 Stellar Award Winner for Best New
Artist; she is also the 2009 Winner of BET’s Sundays Best. This song also features background vocals by
national recording artist Dave Hollister. The result is a flavorful smooth blend of family love. Jones has
shared the stage with many industry greats including Dionne Warwick and Aretha Franklin.
No stranger to pen and paper, Jones received a coveted Stellar Award for his crafty lyrics, superior
vocals and for lending his production talents to the gospel quartet, Canton Spirituals (Verity Records),
garnering favorites, including “Never Let Go” and “They Need to Belong”. In conjunction with his
writing, producing, recording and performance schedule, Jones added acting to his repertoire. Between
album projects, he joined the casts of both “The Devil Made Me Do It” and “When a Woman's Fed Up”,
touring across the nation for nearly two years. “We performed eight shows a week and I gradually saw
my skills improving,” he notes. “Learning to act has been great training for me as a performer.”
Jones has had the opportunity to display both his talents and his patriotism, as he toured Iraq and
Kuwait performing for the troops who fight every day to protect our freedom.
“Designed to reach a wide group of people” is how Jones describes his music. He sometimes observes
the people at his shows; they range from 30 – 60 and Jones knows they are there because he is true to
what he has established; a meaningful lyric, great melody and a very soulful and sincere sound. A native of Jacksonville, Florida, Jones fondly recalls, “Since the age of 4 or 5, I've always loved music.”
Reared in the Pentecostal church, he often found himself risking punishment just to sneak a listen to the
secular sounds of Stevie, Bobby, Marvin and Donny, in particular. Heavily influenced by the sounds of
the time, Jones formed his first group, “The Modulations,” at the age of fourteen and was later
discovered by the late, great gospel legend, Reverend James Cleveland.
Although he initially made his mark in the gospel arena, Jones' voice caught the ear of acclaimed
musician, Norman Connors, with whom he toured and ultimately began performing R&B music. Having
officially made the transition from Gospel to R&B, Jones joined the roster at RCA Records. Four years
later, he signed with Jive Records and enjoyed success with his self-titled album, which spawned the hit
singles, “We've Only Just Begun (The Romance Is Not Over)” and “Stay,” respectively. His move to
Atlantic Records produced contemporary up-tempo hits “Here I Go Again” and “I've Been Searching”.
During 1998, Jones signed with SAR for the independent release of “It's Time”, which sold nearly
200,000 copies, via a combination of internet, event and retail sales. In addition, the album included the
hit single “Baby Come Home”, a Top 5 R&B single that was one of the Top Ten Most Played Records for
2000, according to Billboard Monitor. Jones was overwhelmed by the success of this project and feels
blessed to have an underground fan base that has sustained his career for over two decades.
In a recent radio interview Jones tells the story about being backstage at a concert in Chicago. He was
having a conversation with Peabo Bryson. Peabo told him Luther Vandross said, “There are only three
R&B Crooners, Luther, Peabo and Glenn Jones. I was like wow, really.”
Marketing, imaging and sleek packaging aside, GLENN JONES clearly understands the dynamics of
creating a solid vocal performance and has consistently delivered. “I’ve been in the game for over 30
years, and I am blessed to still be doing my thing. I owe it all to the creator. My mother told me two
things that I’ll never forget, and that is, my talent would make room for me, and that my life is in God’s
hands, and I believe that.”
Jones is also the founder of his non-profit, The Love Jones Foundation (LJF), established in memory of
his mother-Ella Lee Jones. The foundation provides educational programs to youth and music therapy to
the elderly. For more information or to donate go to www.lovejonesfoundation.org.
