She released several singles for the Atlantic imprint during 1967, including 'Boy You're Growing On Me'.
She also sang with Herbie Mann, on the album 'A Mann And A Woman', recorded in Rio De Janiero; and worked as a producer with Solomon Burke.
Tamiko released the album 'I'll Be Anything For You' in 1968 on the Creed Taylor A & M imprint, along with the single 'Goodnight My Love' for the same label. The album featured Bernard Purdie and Richard Tee among others. That year she also released a self titled album for the December label featuring the single 'Someone To Light Up My Life' b/w 'Where Do I Go From Here'.
'I'm The Woman Behind The Man' was later released for the 20th Century label. Tamiko re-recorded the title song for the U.K. Contempo label (a label owned by John Abbey to whom she was married at the time).
In 1975, she released 'Just You And Me' b/w 'Read Me Right' for the Arista label. She then signed to the Arista imprint where she recorded her version of Stevie Wonder's 'Creepin'.

The following year, she released the dancer 'Let It Flow', which was written by the artist Tommy Stewart (famous for the song 'Bump And Hustle Music'). The song was previously released as a T.K.

Check out Tamiko's lp on Atlantic that she did with Herbie Mann. Great timeless soul-bossa groove. No wonder she is such an underground favorite still today. This lady never made a bad record

On this day in 1975 {June 14th} Tamiko Jones performed this song on the late Dick Clark's American Bandstand... Two months earlier April 5th entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #60 and spent 10 weeks in the Top 100... Nine years earlier in 1966 she charted with "A Man and A Woman" with Herbie Mann, it reached #88... R.I.P. Mr. Clark and Mr, Mann...
