Jack Jones

Grammy-winning singer Jack Jones, whose 1977 recording of “The Love Boat” theme song still reverberates in pop culture, has died at the age of 86.

Jones died Wednesday night at a hospital in Rancho Mirage, California, after battling leukemia for two years, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Jones had a successful six-decade career starting in 1962 with his first hit, “Lollipops And Roses,” though his vocal style seemed more in tune with crooners like Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin more than contemporaries such as Elvis Presley and the Beatles.

His biggest pop hit, “Wives And Lovers,” hit No. 14 in 1963 and won him the Grammy for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance — though the lyrics, which suggest women should just stay at home and make their fellas happy, have not aged well.

That’s something Jones has acknowledged when performing the song in the 21st century.
