Forever is even closer to being a one-man show than 2010's Lyrics, with Jones performing every instrument but guitar, and he gets only a little songwriting assistance (and no guest appearances from MCs). More should be made of Jones' versatility. There's no denying that his fan base is devoted and significant in size each one of his albums has peaked within the R&B Top Ten, and he really is more of an album artist than a singles artist, since his releases tend to sustain a steady mood and have never seemed concerned with crossing over. ' Jones' first studio album My Heart, was released in 1996, but he is best known for his late 1990s release of his second. However, Jones was gaining notice as a writer penning songs for established R&B acts such as Usher, producing the singers 1995 hit, 'Think of You', 702s 'Get It Together' and also wrote for groups such as Brownstone and Silk. He is most notable for the hits ' U Know What's Up ,' ' Where I Wanna Be ,' and his cover of Stevie Wonder 's ' Knocks Me Off My Feet. After a brush with death, Jones left the gang and focused on a music career forming the group Porscha. The sticker on the front of Donell Jones' sixth album - his second release for veteran R&B-artist sanctuary eOne - refers to the singer as an "R&B superstar." For someone who has reached the Billboard R&B Top 20 only four times (the last time was in 2002), that's probably a stretch. Donell Jones (born May 22, 1973) is an American singer, songwriter and record producer.
