- On December 3rd the 51st Grammy Nominations were announced and Linda Jones with Helen Bruner & Terry Jones was nominated for Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance for "Baby I Know" of the Linda Jones cd "Soul Talkin."
Linda Jones born in Newark, New Jersey considered by many one of the greatest soul singers who ever lived. Linda put her heart and soul into every lyric like no other, it is often said you could feel her pain in every word. In a Rolling Stone interview Gladys Knight was asked to name one of her favorite singers and Gladys replied “Linda Jones.” Linda released a few 45’s before getting her big break in 1967 when she recorded the now classic soul ballad “Hypnotized” on the Warner Bros. R&B label Loma. This classic soul ballad has been licensed to just about every Slow Jam & R&B/classic soul compilation ever, selling over a million copies combined. Linda worked with several different record labels after leaving Loma she recorded with, Gamble & Huff’s (Neptune) label and her last label Turbo/All Platinum. She continued to chart even after her passing with her version of the Jerry Butler song “For Your Precious Love.” She wrote the talking intro to her verion “Your Precious Love” which pulled you in from the first vowel. Linda was a great songwriter, writing her classics “Things I’ve Been Through”, “I’ve Given You The Best Years Of My Life” and many of her talking break downs. In later years with re-releases of her songs her name was removed allegedly by her producer /manager at that time. Linda was the victim of a shady producer/manager but if you are lucky and you have the original 45’s you will see her correct writer credits. In the movie Ali starring Will Smith a singer portrays Linda at a night club performing “Your Precious Love.” Linda’s daughter Terry recalls her Aunts and Uncles discussing the time when Linda came home from a concert and said Mohammad Ali was at her show. The producers of the film did not know who to contact for clearance of Linda’s likeness because of this they could not use Linda’s name in the film Ali, just the song. Linda’s daughter Terry Jones did not know anything about her mother’s version of “For Your Precious Love” being used in Ali until after the films release.
Linda suffered from chronic diabetes and only had one kidney but her illnesses never stopped her from singing, until March 14, 1972. On that fateful day Linda just finished a matinee performance at the famed Apollo Theater in Harlem, having one more evening performance before finishing her two week long engagement. That matinee show would be her final performance. Linda was not feeling well that day and decided to go back home to Newark, New Jersey to rest between shows. Linda fell asleep and went into a diabetic shock, slipped into a coma never to awake Linda was only 27 years old. Although her career was short Linda remains a vital influence in today’s music and you can hear her music on the radio at any given time, she is even sampled by hip hop artist.
Now for the first time since her passing new music will be released by Linda Jones co-produced by her daughter Terry Jones and Helen Bruner. “Soul Talkin” will satisfy fans of soul music worldwide it captures Linda’s vocal prowl-ness, energy and emotion. Terry Jones say’s “I’m so proud to be the daughter of Linda Jones and be able to keep my Mom’s musical legacy a live.” Get ready to be “Hypnotized” all over again with “Soul Talkin” by the Empress of Soul LINDA JONES!

- Hello Terry and Linda!! I am on cloud nine finding you guys on here!! I am a huge fan of your Moms music..I was excited finding some 45 releases on Loma/Neptune 10 yrs ago..which are very rare. I am happy to know that your Mom is FINALLY getting the credit she truly deserves. I noticed someone commented on Teena Marie and YES you can hear your Mom's influence heavily! I always thought her vocal stylings paid tribute to your Mom.
I LOOVE "For Your Precious Love" , I love that "rap" in the beginning!
Keep up the beautiful work and the good music!
Maximum Love and Respect,
A-Ski
