1. Jack Jones (born Jan. 14, 1938, in Hollywood, Calif.) is a traditional pop singer, perhaps best known for his songs "I've Got Your Number" and "Wives and Lovers". The only son of actors Allan Jones and Irene Hervey, he released his first album in 1959 on Capitol Records, but he didn't find success until he moved to Kapp Records in the early 60s. During that decade, he was rated highly by contemporaries such as Frank Sinatra. Judy Garland even reportedly called him the best jazz singer in the world, though Jones was always a straight pop singer (even with contemporary material) and merely ventured in the direction of jazz. He has won two Grammy Awards.
Having toured for decades since his 60s heyday, Jones still performs concerts around the world and remains popular on the casino circuit. Many of his tunes are included in various mutli-artist compliation albums. Some of his best-known songs are "The Impossible Dream," " "Wives And Lovers" (1964 Grammy Award, Best Pop Male Performance)," "The Race Is On," "Lollipops and Roses" (1962, Grammy Award, Best Pop Male Performance), "Lady," and "The Love Boat Theme".

Dear Heart
Jack Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My dear heart, seems like a year since you've been out of my sight
A single room, a table for one
It's a lonesome town all right
But soon I'll kiss you hello at our front door
And dear heart I want you to know
I'll leave your arms never more
It's a lonesome town all right
But soon I'll kiss you hello at our front door
And dear heart I want you to know
I'll leave your arms never more

The song's lyrics express the singer's yearning for their heart, and how it has been too long since they last saw them. The singer explains that being alone in a room with just a table for one is a lonesome experience. However, the singer's hope of reuniting with their heart at their front door fills them with joy and a promise never to leave their heart's arms again.
The song's words portray a heavy heart missing the one who makes them feel at home. It seems as though the singer is struggling to come to terms with the distance between them and their heart, making each moment seem like an eternity. By stating that they would never leave their heart's arms again, the singer is conveying a sense of comfort and security in being with their loved one. The song's melody and lyrics express the grace, elegance, and sophistication of a bygone era, marking a perfect example of music from the mid-60s era.

Dear heart wish you were here to warm this night
My love, I long for your presence to keep me warm on this chilly night
My dear heart, seems like a year since you've been out of my sight
It feels like a long time since I last saw you, my beloved
A single room, a table for one
I am alone in this room with no company but myself
It's a lonesome town all right
This place is lonely and empty without you here with me
But soon I'll kiss you hello at our front door
I eagerly await the moment when I can greet you with a loving kiss at our home
And dear heart I want you to know
My beloved, I need you to understand
I'll leave your arms never more
I will never again leave your loving embrace, my dearest love

Frank Sinatra said the voice of Jack Jones is a national treasure. Thanks for posting, this is one of my favorite songs and one of the most viewed songs that I covered.

@visitorfromtheeaster I saw a clip where Sinatra was asked something like what made him special, and he said he wished he had a voice like Vic Damone (another in that group), but it's the storytelling that sets him apart, or something to that effect.
visitorfromtheeaster
He said that because he knew that voice was as good, if not better than hi's.... and not only Jack Jones voice, there were others like Andy Williams, Tony Bennet, Steve Laurence, Perry Como, Al Martino, Dean Martin, even Engelbert Humperding, so Frank Sinatra was not a big deal.....

Geraldine Page & Glenn Ford and
Angela Landsbury, Awesome story,
Great Theme song!
Elliott Michaels
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!! I remember this from back in the day, but I don't remember it being this good. Jones was perhaps the most underrated singer of his era. That was just incredible! This is real music!
Neal Luczkiewicz
Jack Jones was always strong and sure when he sang.
Like a great baseball hitter, he alwsys made FULL CONTACT with the lyric baseball. You always felt his full commitment. Check out his rendition of Isn't it romantic. The arrangement combined with his great approach to that song is STUNNING.

Thanks. Nothing but good memories from back them. I was about 6 years old when this was on the radio. Long live Jack!!
