Shirley Jones & The Jones Girls - Reflections: In Loving Memory (2024)

Atlanta based, Philly soul veteran Shirley Jones has a new album, "Reflections: In Loving Memory" dedicated in memory of her sisters in The Jones Girls, Valorie and Brenda both now deceased. It celebrates the 45th anniversary of their self-titled debut album on Philadelphia International which spawned their biggest hit "You Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else" which had "Who Can I Run To" (on the flip of the single) along with "I'm At Your Mercy".

The ten tracks include new versions of the latter two songs retitled "I Won't Tell If You Won’t Tell (Who Can I Run To)" and "At Your Mercy" and an unreleased song recorded for The Jones Girls debut album which was shelved, "Baby Don't Go", which Expansion Records released in 2012 on a PIR logo along with "This Feeling Is Killing Me".

Two songs have already been released as singles, "When You Love Somebody" (Aug '23) and "Soul Steppin' (Soul Syndicate Remix)" (Jun '22) which is a remix of the song released in Oct '21.

To keep the family connection going, the title track, "Reflections", is written by Valorie's son PJ with Shirley's son Cam featuring on "This I Know" along with Everis Pellius.
