About Joe Jones (singer)
Joseph Charles Jones was an American R&B singer, songwriter and arranger, who was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States. Jones is also generally credited with discovering the Dixie Cups. He also worked with B. B. King. As a singer, Jones had his biggest hit in the form of the Top Five 1960 R&B success, "You Talk Too Much", which also reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. He also discovered Shirley and Lee, and was their pianist, and whose recording of "Let the Good Times Roll" became a hit in 1956. In 1960, a re-recording of a song he had first recorded in 1958 for Roulette Records, "You Talk Too Much," became a national success, but his subsequent releases were less successful. We know Joe is a so-and-so, but we have to realize it was him that, as they say, discovered us on that talent show, so that's all he deserves.
