[1][2] Born in Harlem, New York City, in 1940, Jones grew up in the Sugar Hill section,[3] and attended the High School of Performing Arts where she studied tap and ballet dance and trained in opera.
[6] Throughout her time with Diddley, Jones maintained the separate career she had begun independently as a songwriter, session musician, and bandleader.
[8] Jones played guitar on Les Cooper's 1962 instrumental "Wiggle Wobble" and percussion on the 1967 hit "San Franciscan Nights" by Eric Burdon and The Animals[5] and other recordings[3] and later backed James Brown and Sam & Dave.
[6] Jones was known for playing the Roland guitar synthesizer, an experimental instrument not typically heard in rhythm and blues music.
My wife and partner of 47 years has been called up to that great rock & roll band in the heavens to be reunited with Bo Diddley, Jerome Green and Clifton James.
The other thing I added at the end of it is that band doesn’t have a bass player and for them to please hold that seat until it is my time to join them.
