It hit the charts in December 1953 and I remember singing it as a 4 year old at that time.

Love these gentlemen! Their voices are so smooth and effortless. My parents had many of their records, so i was exposed to them at a very early age. I have seen them on tv through the years and thrilled that KZitem has so many videos of them.

You cannot help smiling and feeling absolutely wonderful watching guys like this. THIS is real entertainment...nothing like today where the "performers" have light shows, smoke, fireworks going off around them to draw attention away from the fact that without all the gimicks they would fall flat on their faces.

THE JONES BOY - The Mills Brothers “The whole town's talkin' about the 'Jones boy' ….” sings my wife Irene a moment ago: She awoke thinking about this song - trying to remember where she first heard it; her favorite singers always included the Mills Brothers -- who had the hit version. “The whole town's talking about the Jones Boy He acts mighty peculiar now …. “ Google for Mills Brothers / The Jones Boy and the first offering at KZitem this day is this delightful video, from the early days of black & white TV, introduced by comedian/band leader Spike Jones. Echoing my own favorite question my Irene said, “I want to know about that song!” It doesn't have a Wikipedia entry of its own, but there's a brief note about “Mann Curtiss” aka Manny Kurtz: no mention of “The Jones Boy” but as “Manny Kurtz” he wrote the words to a classic Duke Ellington tune, “In a Sentimental Mood.” [Ellington's publisher Irving Mills, as he often did gave himself as publisher co-credit so all three names are listed as that song's composers.] “The Jones Boy” was written to a tune by “Vic Mizzy” - concerning whom Wiki says: Victor Mizzy (January 9, 1916 - October 17, 2009) was an American composer for television and movies and musician whose best-known works are the themes to the 1960s television sitcoms Green Acres and The Addams Family. Mizzy also wrote top-20 songs from the 1930s to 1940s. The Jones Boy lyric recalls a time when neighbors shared gossip over backyard fences: The buzz is over the fences That he's going out of his senses The whole town's talking about the Jones boy The poor boy The Jones boy But I just happen to be the Jones boy And I happen to be in love! Thanks, PALINDUP for sharing this gem. Celebrated elsewhere [search] " Great Melody, Great Lyric, Great Rendition, Songwriting Workshop, Harmony Central "

The Mills Brothers didn't need an orchestra behind them. They were their own orchestra with trumpets, saxophones, trombones, bass fiddle and guitar. All, except the guitar, done without instruments, just their mouths and hands. They pioneered the mouth horn which is a lost art these days. But though they dropped being their own band, their singing never changed. It was great from beginning to end.

I think it was more likely a pained contorted face from his difficulty breathing due to having emphysema brought on by years of chain smoking, by this time it had got to the point where he used an oxygen tank off-stage, and on-stage he was usually confined to a seat behind his drum set. He died at the age of 53 about 5 or 6 years after this broadcast.

Your comment just goes to show if you look hard enough and your point of view is sour enough you can be cynical about anything. I heard Spike Jones call the Mills Brothers "fabulous" - I also heard him say it was his theme song, hardly a surprise then that he wanted to join in without actually interrupting their terrific performance.

Does anyone one know if that's the Spike Jones Orchestra playing behind them, playing it straight, and swinging their asses off? It's almost the same arrangement as the record, but just different enough so it's clear it's not a lipsynch.

Spike does appear to be short winded...he did have emphysema. It is indeed the Spike Jones band behind the Mills Brothers. They had to be good musicians to play badly on purpose. The Mills Brothers were a class act...you don't see that today sadly.

Spike Jones was a notorious rock n' roll hater (like the rest of the old guard); hence the frequent TV appearances by the (now middle-aged) "boys".

Even though the Mills Brothers are correctly credited for pioneering not only doo wop but even rock n' roll in of itself (not quite of course), this particular tune is hardly the case; more like the dreary pop that RNR should have driven off the charts by 1957.
