Jones' first single was released in 1957 under Capitol, but with no chart success. He continued recording, and in 1962, he received his breakout with the single "Lollipops and Roses", which peaked at No. 6 on the new Easy Listening chart. In 1963 he recorded his most successful single on the Hot 100, "Wives and Lovers", it reached No. 14. With that he released a commercially successful album of the same name. That year he won the Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for his performance of the single.
His first single to top the Easy Listening chart was released in 1965, "The Race Is On", which also peaked at No. 15 on the Hot 100. The next year he had another single, which topped the chart, soon after that he recorded his most successful American album, The Impossible Dream, which peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard Top LPs. He continued to record with chart success, eventually having four big easy listening hits by 1968. "If You Ever Leave Me" was his last single to enter the Hot 100, peaking at No. 92, and his 1969 album, A Time for Us was his last album to chart in the US. He was included in the soundtrack The Bliss of Mrs. Blossom, released in late 1968.[1]
Jones had some charting singles in the 1970s, all on the AC chart, his last charting single was the theme song for the American television series, The Love Boat, titled "Love Boat". In the 1970s Jones' albums charted only in the United Kingdom, with four top 10 hits there. His album Bread Winners reached No. 7 in the UK and was certified Gold by the BPI – his only album to do so. His last studio album is ArtWork, released in 2023.
