Did y'all know one of The Jones Girls died?

It was Valorie-she died in 2001 at the age of 45

".....you should leave him, cut him loose"!

I love the talking part in "I Just Love The Man".

Yeah, I remember reading that she passed away.

Shirley went solo eventually, right?

If memory serves me correct, I don't believe the family ever revealed the cause of Valorie's death.

Yes. She had a #1 song back in '86 "Do You Get Enough Love". A second solo CD was released in Europe in the 90's, "With You", which is very nice.

There have been reports that she died of alcoholism.

A stupid man’s report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconciously translates what he hears into something he can understand.

I think Eurweb reported that it was cancer.

Valorie was the deep-voiced member of the Jones Girls I believe. If you remember her part in "You Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else", she was the one backing up Shirley saying "she's gonna love somebody!" RIP
