RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (AP) — Jack Jones, a Grammy-winning crooner known for “The Love Boat” television show theme song, has died.
He was 86.
A statement from his manager says Jones died Wednesday at a hospital in Rancho Mirage, California, after battling leukemia for more than two years.

He was nominated for several other Grammys, including for the album “Jack Jones Paints A Tribute To Tony Bennett” in 1999.
