The home of Salena Jones on You Tube, featuring some of her wonderful renditions of many lesser-known songs
Regularly described by critics as one of the world`s great jazz singers and, occasionally as “not altogether a jazz singer”, Salena Jones is almost impossible to categorise. The attraction lies in her voice quality pure and simple. Salena Jones` cool, relaxed phrasing and delivery is wonderfully free from artifice.
At the lower end of the register, her voice is smoky and sensual; not for her, though, vivacious displays of double-time gymnastics or virtuoso scat choruses; she is a storyteller who allows the lyrics to speak for themselves and although ballads are her strongest suit, she swings with the very best.
Salena's outstanding career now spans seven decades of performance; she has sung with numerous music legends around the world including Louis Armstrong, Antonio Carlos Jobim and Sarah Vaughan as well as the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
Selena has a soft mellow tone voice but with belts of power coming threw. One of my favorite songs only came across this version whole been introduced to Aretha Franklin You will never walk alone, powerful song.
Apology, my comment crossed over to this comments section while I was listening to I Wanna Know About You, my first time to hear it. This true lady of music is just excellent on every song she delivers.
There's very little to add when you're listening to perfection, somebody whose vocal and intelligence is swirling around inside and is very capable of taking a simple story and making it special.
I've never heard of this lady before although I am familiar with the song! I love her rendition. If I had never had looked at her name and just listened I would sworn I was listening to Nancy Wilson! N
Everyone has their own opinions. What's for you is for you. I'd truly love to hear your voice version of this song. God blesses Everyone in his own way. Those that judge don't matter, and those that matter don't judge. Comparing one to another is What's mainly What's wrong with this world we live in.
