Jones’ father was strict and their relationship was strained. According to his particular denomination’s beliefs, one should only use one’s singing ability to glorify God. Bishop Robert W. Jones died on 7 May 2008. Her mother, Marjorie, always supported Jones’ career (she sings on “Williams’ Blood” and “My Jamaican Guy”) but could not be publicly associated with her music. Marjorie’s father, William, was also a musician, and played with Nat King Cole.
Jones described her childhood as having been “crushed underneath the Bible”, and since has refused to enter a Jamaican church due to her bad childhood experiences.
