Jones continues to perform concerts around the world and remains popular in Las Vegas. His recordings include "Lollipops and Roses", "Wives and Lovers", "The Race Is On", "The Impossible Dream" and "Call Me Irresponsible". He also sang the opening themes for television series The Love Boat and the 1968 film Anzio ("This World Is Yours").
