Former gospel vocalist Thelma Jones moved to R&B when she recorded the original version of "The House That Jack Built." It was covered by Aretha Franklin some years later. Her following realease was "Salty Tears," a great tearful ballad that put Thelma on the pop charts. The self titled album "Thelma Jones" was originally recorded for Columbia in 1978 (re-released in 2005), and contains Smokey Robinson's "I Second That Emotion". In 1987 Barry Records released the single "Never Leave Me." She has followed up with several more recordings, the last being the critically acclaimed CD "Law Of Old" in 2002. As a live performer, Thelma has captivated audiences the world over with her electrifying vocal stylings. She is equally comfortable singing Gospel, Blues, Soul/R&B or Jazz. "It's the song that counts," says Thelma, "a good song is a good song in any genre." This new CD by the classic R&B and soulful is a blues-flavored album that features top class L.A. musicians and showcases Thelma's distinctive vocal style and includes one of her own compositions, the superb title cut.
