FameRank: 6

"Rickie Lee Jones" is an American vocalist, musician, songwriter and producer. Over the course of a career of over three decades, Jones has recorded in various musical styles including rock, Rhythm and blues/R&B, blues, pop, soul, and jazz standard (music)/standards. Her songwriting has been characterized as "a blend of bravado and vulnerability [that] wavers on indefinable borders". She is also known for her unique singing style, especially in live performances. One concert reviewer, describing her rendering of "We Belong Together", states she "reached her apex, skating from swells into near screams into breathy whispers, from pointillist staccato scats into brassy, trumpetlike bursts".

In 1999, Jones was listed at #30 in the VH1 list of 100 greatest women of rock.

You can't break the rules until you know how to play the game.

There is no fear before and no fear after. We give our best.

Just give me many chancesI'll see you though it allJust give me time to learnTo crawl.

The only angel who sees us now watches through each others eyes.

I did not know who I was. But now, watching it all unfold — and having a past, a present and a future — I think what a little character I was. The character I am now, it's a good and seasoned woman. There's not so much vaudeville, but plenty of heart.

I never knew when I was gong to leave. I might be walking over to a kid's house, then of all a sudden I would just stick out my thumb and hitchhike across three states.
