Jack Jones, balladeer famous for ‘Love Boat’ theme and 1960s hits like ‘The Impossible Dream,’ dies at 86
Jack Jones, a singer who found fame and chart success on the easy-listening side of the street in the 1960s, and who later became etched in television-watching America’s psyche with the “Love Boat” theme, died Wednesday at 86.
Jones was the son of actors Irene Harvey and Allen Jones, the latter of whom who appeared in the Marx Brothers films “A Night at the Opera” and “A Day at the Races.” “My father hit actual movie stardom in 1938, and that was because Jeanette McDonald and Nelson Eddy were together so much that MGM decided they wanted to break them up a little bit (and not) have Nelson Eddy in (a film),” Jones recounted. “They brought my father in, and it was called ‘The Firefly.’ The song, ‘Donkey Serenade,’ that was in that picture became a tremendous hit… He recorded it the night that I was born in 1938. You’re talking to a fossil,” Jones quipped.

I always liked Terri Garr, and I'm so sad that she (and anyone else who has MS) had to suffer this slowly debilitating disease for her entire middle age/into old age life.
~RIP, Ms. Garr
