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".

I Love Paris
Jack Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whether blue or gray be her skies.
Whether loud be her cheers or soft be her tears,
More and more do I realize:
I love Paris in the springtime.
I love Paris in the fall.
I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles,
I love Paris every moment,
Every moment of the year.
I love Paris, why, oh why do I love Paris?
Because my love is near.
In Jack Jones's classic song "I Love Paris," the singer expresses his undying love for the timeless and romantic city of Paris. He sings that every time he looks at the city, no matter the weather or mood of the people, he realizes more and more that he loves it. The lyrics capture the essence of Paris - a city that is beautiful in every season, whether it's the springtime with blooming flowers, the fall with warm colors, the winter with its drizzles, or the summer with its heat.
What makes the song particularly poignant is the refrain "why, oh why do I love Paris?" The question is rhetorical, but it implies that the singer may not even know why he loves Paris so much, only that he does. Perhaps Paris represents a romantic ideal, a place of inspiration or beauty that has captured his heart. The refrain also suggests that love is inexplicable and that sometimes, we can't always put our feelings into words.
In all, "I Love Paris" is a timeless and romantic ode to one of the most iconic cities in the world. Its simple yet evocative lyrics capture the essence of Paris in every season, and its refrain speaks to the inexplicable nature of love.
