In the 1960s, Jack Jones's suave voice and way with romantic songs brought him great popularity. By the 1980s, he no longer attracted younger generations, but his ability to dramatize a song makes all these 1987 selections worth repeated listens.

Though his pure, bright tone is not as fresh as in his youth, Jones lowers his key and softens his intonation. "Love Dance" captures a conversational gentleness while his soft-spoken singing resonates through the relaxed electric keyboard accompaniment. Jones's voice in "Round Midnight" is low and throaty, and performs the bluesy material superbly.
