A singer known for his overt sexuality and distinctive fashion choices, he rocketed to the top with 1965's "What's New, Pussycat?" and won that year's Grammy for Best New Artist. What followed was a sensational fame characterized by legions of enraptured female fans, who often threw undergarments and hotel keys at the artist. Jones's career fluctuated over the years, waning before he got a second wind and attracted new audiences under the management of his son. During this time Jones recorded with artists as varied as Wyclef Jean, Portishead, and Van Morrision, among many others. The highlights of all the incarnations of Jones's career are collected here, including his most successful single ever, "The Green Green Grass of Home," as well as some of his famous love songs, such as "I Can't Stop Loving You," and "Endless Love."
