For the next chapter of our artist Top 10 Songs List feature we dig into the discography of the legendary Donell Jones. The singer has easily given us one of the best catalogs out of any singer coming out of the 90’s and this list should prove that to you.
Donell Jones often goes underrated at times for whatever reason but the albums, singles, and deep album cuts he’s given us are truly timeless. He emerged out the 90’s and quickly became a fan favorite with his smooth and soulful style. He remains just as popular today, even if he does not release music at the pace that he once did.
As you can see from our list there was no way we could stop at just the top 10. We included a generous amount of honorable mention songs to compliment our choices for his best tracks.
