Musical News - Walter L. Jones (Enchantment)

Walter L. Jones , former member of the 1970s R&B group Enchantment passed away on June 7, 2021.

Enchantment was formed in Detroit, MI in the late 1960s, but it wasn’t until 1976 that the group recorded its first hits, “Sunshine” and “Gloria”, followed in 1978 by “It’s You That I Need”.

Mr. Jones’ contribution to the group was as an outstanding first tenor.

A change in the group’s recording company in 1980 led to a downturn in the group’s popularity, along with a change in music styles.

I can still hear “Gloria” playing in my head, some 45 years later.

Walter L. Jones
