The Jones Girls je dívčí R&B trio, sestavené ze sester pocházející z Detroitu. Nejprve nahrávali pro firmu GM Records v roce 1968, později pro P.I.R., Philadelphiskou firmu vlastněnou Gamble & Huff.

Jones Girls se skládají ze sester Brendy, Valorie a Shierly Jonesové. Kdysi pracovali i jako vokalisti v pozadí pro Lou Rawlse, Teddy Pendergrasse a Aretha Franklinové. Rovněž spolupracovali s Dianou Ross v letech 1975~1978 a s Lindou Clifford (pro album If My Friends Could See Me Now z roku 1978).

Další hit byla v roce 1980 píseň "I Just Love The Man". Po neúspěchu jejich čtvrtého alba On Target (1983), Shirley Jonesová odešla za sólovou kariérou a v roce 1986 měla #1 R&B hit "Don't You Get Enough Love"

Jejich největším hitem byla písnička "You Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else", která se v květnu 1979 umístila v Top 40 Billboard magazínu, na příčce #38.

Valorie Jones později zemřela 2. prosince, 2001 v Detroitu ve věku 45 let.[1]
