Dorothy Jones
May 16, 1934 – December 25, 2010
Dorothy Jones was a founding member of R&B girl group, the Cookies. Formed in 1953, the Cookies had hits with “In Paradise,” “Don’t Say Nothin’ Bad (About My Baby),” “Girls Grow Up Faster Than Boys,” and of course, “Chains.” The Beatles also had a hit with “Chains” a few years later. The Cookies can also be heard singing back up on Neil Sedaka’s “Breaking Up Is Hard To Do” and Little Eva’s “The Loco-Motion.” The group split up in 1967. Dorothy Jones was 76 when she died of Alzheimer’s Disease on December 25, 2010.
What You Should Own
Dorothy Jones and the Cookies cut some of the most moving records I’ve ever heard, and I’ve heard a lot. “I Never Dreamed” is spine tingling. Rest in Peace, Dorothy; we’re still listening.
Yes indeed, Michael. Thanks for stopping by and leaving your kind words
