James Jones (June 2, [1] – August 2, ) was an American singer-songwriter who moved to New York City while a teenager. [2] According to Allmusic journalist Steve Huey, "best known for his R&B smash 'Handy Man', Jones sang in a smooth yet soulful falsetto modeled on the likes of Clyde McPhatter and Sam Cooke." [2].

"Handy Man", released in , gave Jones his first US and UK hit single.[2] It went to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot in , and peaked at No. 3 in the UK Singles Chart. It introduced a rock falsetto singing style to the British audience and later scored hits for Del Shannon and James Taylor.[2][3] A few months later in , Jones' recording of "Good Timin'" climbed to No.

1 in the UK[4] and No. 3 in the US.[2] Both "Handy Man" and "Good Timin'" were million sellers, earning Jones two gold discs.[5]

Although Jones had only the two million-selling Top 40 hits, he nevertheless kept active in the music industry as both a songwriter and recording artist and made personal appearances as he saw fit.

Jones' subsequent career was low key, although it included three more UK chart entries in the following 12 months.[4] Jones remained with Cub until , and then recorded for the next decade for a variety of labels, including Bell, Parkway, Roulette, and Vee-Jay.[2]

Del Shannon cited Jones and Bill Kenny as influences on his falsetto style.

Later singers who used falsetto included Frankie Valli of the Four Seasons, Lou Christie, Robert John, Jimmy Somerville, and Barry Gibb. Gibb cited Shannon, in turn, as an influence for his disco vocalizations with the Bee Gees. Jones released Grandma's Rock & Roll Party in the s on CD, perhaps, in part due to his popularity in the UK Northern soul circles.[2] It included new versions of "Handy Man" and "Good Timin'".

Castle/Sanctuary released a double album titled Good Timin': The Anthology in [2]
