He was 74.
His, “muscular, hard-rocking drum style was an integral part of the Motown sound on classics such as ‘Ain’t No Mountain High Enough’ by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell and ‘Ain’t Too Proud to Beg’ and ‘Cloud Nine’ by the Temptations, died at Oakwood Hospital Tuesday afternoon, according to his friend, Motown arranger Paul Riser,” says the Detroit News.
“As a musician he was incredible,” the story has Bob Babbitt, “who played bass with Jones on many Motown hits as part of the Funk Brothers, Motown’s core backing band,” saying.
Surviving Jones are his wife June Jones and three children, Lynnaire Barnett, Gary Jones and Brooke Gardner; as well as seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, the story adds.
