Raised in Detroit, Michigan and vocally trained by their mom, gospel singer Mary Frazier Jones, Shirley, Brenda, and Valorie Jones were a musical wonder from the very start. Their misty harmonies caught the ears of some of the greatest performers of all time—from Norman Connors to Aretha Franklin and Diana Ross— who hired them as their backing vocalists.They became so damn good that Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff signed them to Philadelphia International Records and gave them all the attention they deserved with beautifully-crafted songs like “You’re Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else,” “At Peace With Woman,” and “I Just Love The Man.”Their ride on the ‘love train’ reached its ultimate destination with a mysterious jazz-infused track written by Dexter Wensel and Cynthia Biggs El, inspired by a failed college trip to Egypt. It almost never made it to the PIR catalogue, but after the girls laid their vocals, “Nights Over Egypt” grew to become a Quiet Storm standard and source of inspiration for Hip-Hop and Rap artists, musicians, and music lovers everywhere, cementing the singers’ place in the industry.More on Shirley JonesWebsiteInstagramShow TracklistingWho Can I Run To (Xscape)Put A Little Love In Your Heart (Mary Frazier Jones)Oh I Feel Good (Mary Frazier Jones and the Jones Sisters)Almighty Fire (Aretha Franklin)Love Hangover (Diana Ross and the Jones Sisters Live at Midnight Special)You're Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else (The Jones Girls)I Just Love The Man (The Jones Girls)At Peace With Woman (The Jones Girls)Nights Over Egypt (The Jones Girls)I Won't Tell (Shirley Jones)Host and Producer: Diego MartinezExecutive Producer: NickFreshAudio Engineer: Adam Fogel Follow us on social media: @choonspodSubscribe to our PATREON: patreon.com/choonspod
