The Jones Girls perform “You Gonna Make Love Somebody Else” (My Mom & Aunts) *sorry for distortion*

[@antonioellisacevedo3772]

When this song came out, I was in a bad place mentally. Couldn’t understand why I gave my all to people and they always let me down. Then I heard this song with that bass line and that slumbering rhythm, then Lord the chiming of those angelic voices came in, and it was over. I started crying, me a grown man of 19, like a baby. It was a turning point for me, a spiritual cleanse if you will, to leave all these people behind, get up, move on, and start over. And to this day, at 61, These women have been a part of my story and will always love them for it. And Lord those voices. Thanks.

[@IamCamJones]

Wow thanks for sharing this king. That’s HEAVY, I love to hear stories like this on my families impact. God bless you 🤞🏿🙏🏿🖤💯

[@rodneyplayer5785]

Antonio that's a great story and I can relate. We are the same age. At 19 I was just joining the Navy and was stationed in California during my time in the service. I had always been a fan of The Jones Girls since high school and always wanted to see them live. I got my wish when I was 21 and they performed at a New Years Eve bash in San Francisco. It was like listening to angels sing. I was like totally smitten and mesmerized. There will never be another female trio like The Jones Girls.

[@isaiahthompson2065]

I loved this song even tho I was the one she didn't wanna leave but had to. I have regrets being that guy but i did learn from it. Karma is real and i got it all back and more. She was a great person and I pray she's doing well in life. I've changed for the better because of this song. Since i now KNOW what it feels like. Thank you "Jones Girls !"

[@antonioellisacevedo3772]

@@rodneyplayer5785 I was also in the military (Army) at the time in Texas. I saw them during the tour to promote their 3rd Philly release. By this time I was in a better place in my life and could really appreciate their style and form of singing. My mother stated that they sound like Hummingbirds when they sing.

[@melissav68]

I completely understand... I've given myself and the return only crushed me not them ...lesson learned but more for me as I grew to be more humble to God... I love this song I was probably 11 years old but I remember feeling the emotions of pain i didn't understand but unfortunately would experience that most my life....God bless you brother!!! Thank you for sharing ...

They are awesome and I still say En Vogue definitely watched these beautiful ladies 24/7.

[@channelskip]

More than likely it was the guys who put them together, since that's who selected the members and wrote and produced their material. But... great observation. I totally hear it. Never thought about it before. If En Vogue covered this (which I would thoroughly enjoy), I think Cindy on lead would remind a lot of people of Shirley.

[@everettknight491]

Alright now!!! I definitely remember this performance of The Jones Girls! It was broadcast in the summer of 1979 from were I was born and raised and I still live, Baltimore, Maryland! I was maybe 13 or 14 years old and ready to start the 9th grade! It was aired from my favorite television station that I love so very much and grew up with, WMAR-TV, Channel 2!!!

HAPPY 69TH BIRTHDAY SHIRLEY JONES (SEPTEMBER 22, 2022)

[@deepconnection1169]

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the song so much. I have it on a Promo white label 12" vinyl, and the commercial Disco 12" Vinyl. What a classic R&B / funky / soulful record. I fell out the first time I heard it. It reminds me of Mary Clark, "Take Me I'm Yours". If you have not heard that before, you MUST check it out. It was produced by the golden ear of Patrick Adams in 1980. Sadly, it did not receive the proper promotion it deserved. It was rumored (From Dimitri From Paris) That LaShawn Records, (Amongst many small labels) were in fact fronts for big drug businesses. So, they were not concerned about the artist or their product. Such incredible, extraordinary soulful music. This is Mary Clark, "Take Me I'm Yours": kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppulYoSBaZitrq8
