    I’m 44 years old and my parents were boomers, I have all older siblings, come from a big family very much into music and the arts, and somehow I have never heard of Jack Jones until this very night 12/16/23?! I’m looking at him and I’m thinking I have never seen this man before! Ever that I recall. How is that possible? 😳

    I (we all) miss Jerry. Jack is outstanding. But the orchestra is beyond that superlative.

    I was fortunate enough to see Jack Jones in concert about a year before this performance at the now-closed Venetian Room at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco. He opened the show by singing I AM A SINGER off stage (!) and then came on stage to deliver 90 minutes of the most immaculate singing (backed by a full orchestra) I have ever heard -- and I saw Sinatra several times in concert. The memory of that night lingers as an indelible memory of a true master at work. Thank you for the memories Jack. As Jerry Lewis says at the close of this video, "you heard the best". How right he was !

    A true artist who, besides his clear, legitimate, flawless voice, draws you in because he lives inside the story of the song and makes you feel it with him. Also, this is the only singer other than Barbra Streisand I've heard sing "people", and a male to boot. Again, hearing him completely own it, one would almost forget that Barbra or anyone else ever delivered it.

    Saw Jack perform at Perth Concert Hall Scotland a truly marvelous singer of fine songs and got the opportunity to shake his hand, a true gentleman.

    A classy singer. Came along during the rock and roll generation which may have hurt his career somewhat. As good looking as he was, I never could understand why he didn't star in musicals. Maybe, if he had been born 10 years earlier.

    lt’s hard to find singers that have Jack Jones’ vocal range. He can sing low and high notes without any effort.

    Superb. He is one of my favorite male singers in the likes of Perry Como, Andy Williams, Frank Sinatra, Matt Monro, Tom Jones, Engerbert Humperdinck and lot more 50,60 & 70s era. I love his voice a lot. You can feel his emotions and carried away with his rendition and voice is like he is telling a story. His songs are my first list on my iphone when travelling alone driving in an open highway with overcast weather or rainy or foggy or all weather depending my mode so that I could sing on the top of my lungs.😀..and nobody can complain ..😊 Thank you for this video. Appreciate it.
