76% Informative
Jack Jones died Oct. 23 at a hospital in Rancho Mirage , California .
The cause was complications from leukemia, a cancer of the bone marrow.
He burst to national attention in 1961 with “ Lollipops and Roses ,” a syrupy ballad.
Two years later , he had a Top-20 chart hit, and another Grammy win.
In the mid-1960s , Sinatra declared him the “next major star of show business,” which Mr. Jones took to mean heir apparent.
His most notable TV credit was as the singer of the theme to ABC ’s “ The Love Boat ” from 1977 to 1985 .
He lampooned his lounge-singer persona with an unexpected cameo in the disaster movie spoof “Airplane II”.
His prodigious schedule led to “circumstances that set relationships up to fail,” he said.
His marriages to model Lee Larance , actress St. John , flight attendant Gretchen Roberts , Kathryn Simmons and Kim Ely ended in divorce.
In 2009 , he married Eleonora Jung ; survivors include a daughter from his first marriage, Crystal Jones .
