Description:
From BroadwayWorld--
"Jones began playing here almost 40 years ago and his is a remarkable record, in that he is by no means an oldies act like so many others who came up in the 60s. He hit a dry patch in his career but came back strong about 20 years ago with his take on the Prince hit, "Kiss." He began to record with the UK's best and brightest -- Van Morrison, Robbie Williams, among them -- and continues to succeed, changing musical genres, always experimenting.
OK, now that we're caught up on the career, how about the show?
For 90 minutes Jones performs a mix of his hits, some standards and, best of all, R& B and blues (both of which he does phenomenally well). His voice today might lack the range it had years ago, but it still has more range than almost any singer around. And it's got more depth. As was true of the late, amazing, Ruth Brown, Jones' voice just gets richer with age.
It's worth noting that his audience is of all ages, both genders and from around the world. Thus, his appeal is, apparently, ageless and universal. And he's not the same "medallion man" you might remember. The 740-seat Hollywood Theatre at the MGM is the perfect size venue in which to see him."
