Phalon R. Jones, Jr. (1948 – December 10, 1967) was an American soul and R&B musician.
Jones was a saxophonist for musical group the Bar-Kays, which recorded with and also played backup for Otis Redding.
Jones and three other members of the Bar-Kays (Ronnie Caldwell, Carl Cunningham and Jimmie King), their valet Matthew Kelly and the pilot Richard Fraser died along with Redding in a plane crash in Lake Monona while on their way to a performance in Madison, Wisconsin.
[citation needed] Ben Cauley, Jones' bandmate in the Bar-Kays, was the sole survivor of the accident.
Cauley reported that he had been asleep until just seconds before impact, and recalled that upon waking he observed Jones look out a window and say, "Oh, no!"
