Biography
Jones was born in Newark, New Jersey. She started singing in her family's gospel group, the Jones Singers at the age of six. Her first recording was "Lonely Teardrops" under the name of Linda Lane on Cub Records in 1963. She was found performing at a local club by songwriter Jerry Harris who introduced her to producer George Kerr. After unsuccessful singles on Atco Records in 1964 and Blue Cat Records the following year, Kerr took her to Warner Bros. Records' R&B subsidiary, Loma Records in 1967. The first Loma release proved to be her biggest success, the ballad, "Hypnotized" reached #4 on the Billboard R&B chart and #21 on the Hot 100. This proved to be the label's best-selling record and it was followed by two further hits, including "What've I Done (To Make You Mad)" (#8 R&B, #61 pop), and an album.
After Loma closed in late 1968, Linda had a final single on the main Warner label before joining Neptune Records, run by Philadelphia producers, Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff. Two singles, both produced by Kerr, saw some R&B success before she signed for All Platinum subsidiary, Turbo Records, in New Jersey in 1971. A powerful revamped version of the former Jerry Butler hit, "For Your Precious Love" reached both the R&B (#15) and pop (#74) charts in 1972 and saw her career take off again.

I, I who have nothing... Verse I: Ikon Intersections in real time The unbroken circles and dimensions of the mind The tie that binds The eternal tie that defines The vanity of my insanity in due time Will shine Like the night seas under the moon The haunted corners of familiar rooms Yet i'm consumed With vanishing into thin air The realization that this shit is my cross to bare So where Did I think I could run away to see The people that decided to leave without asking me But we Decide to wait for happier tomorrows And find someone so they can be distractions from our sorrows For my distractions the books of paper that i scrawl in I'm eloquent as summer breeze and leaves just have fallen I've crawl in a corner hoping all of this will end With the knowledge that love is just another word for revenge I who have nothing but the comfort of my sins I who have nothing but the comfort of my friends Chorus: I, I who have nothing I, I who have no one I, I who have nothing I, I who have no one Verse II: Ikon As I decay, demons prey above me like a vulture Ability to endure contradiciton is a high sign of culture Verbal sculptures, self defacing It is not God or lunacy that I am facing But the erasing of the purity and passion of my words The herds of cattle babble on with talk of the absurd But I preferred To walk away from all the feuds To find my life is more confusing than a rubic's cube So i'm subdued In all my words of verbal prods To live alone one must be an animal or a God But it's official All of my pain is clear as crystal The natural side of life has now been seeming artificial But I can hit you And rest assured that i'ma last words I could give a fuck about ya secrets and ya past words I can pass words with the ability to hurt you Patience is a virtue and knowledge is a commercial I who have nothing but the pain that I refer to I who have nothing but the pain that I refer to Chorus Verse III: Ikon Lost among the miracles, I stand alone And i've grown into a being that's sitting on top a throne I've known For many years that I would turn to rust I find a reason for another breath Before my return to dust I become one with science and mathematic and the rising of the sun I'm numb To all of those who blind and cannot see The chastiser of the enemy Perception requires duality Inspect ya soul, the color of coal inside the body I have hardly, come across them who's holy Send them to the cerebem to control thee Burning of the sun and frigidness of the cold The battle field is new but the war is now old You can never see the merest shadow of a halo Above the head of evil djin who's deadly like tornado The world has become an aquarium Full of gaping fish with murderous smiles I on the other hand stand on the outside looking in Writing down murderous files I who have nothing but the lack of variation And I who have nothing but chains and suffocation
