I LOVE the Jones Girls. They are my favorite girl group of all time (and that's saying a lot). My favorite album is "At Peace With Woman", but I love all of their albums (except for the one they did with RCA).

Harlepolis

love @ you remembering what I said,,,even though I don't remember boxed lol

But I LOOOOOVE The Jones Girls, they're my ABSLOUTE fave female group along with The Emotions, you can't listen to one of them without the other, you just can't. I think they(Jones Girls), Jean Carne and Phyllis Hyman are the FIERCEST of the fierce who emerged from the Philly scene. In fact, I'll be bold and say that they gave Gamble & Huff's music more color, character and style than the male singers who worked with them.

We're A Melody
The Feeling's Kiling Me
I Just Love The Man
You're Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else
Nights Over Egypt
Keep It Coming
I'm @ Your Mercy
To Win You Back
Children Of The Night

Oooooh child, so many to mention.

I highly recommend tracking down their "early hits" compilation, the one that features all the songs they did for Curtis Mayfield's Curtroom label. Believe me you'll not be sorry.
