Shireen Crutchfield and Ricky Jones met some 30 years ago at Motown
Records in Hollywood, CA. Shireen was the lead singer of the 90’s group
The Good Girls, and Ricky the lead singer of Yours Truly. They had the
same manager and their paths crossed at many events but it wasn't until
they both left Motown that a friendship developed.
Their careers took them in different directions, Shireen modelling and
acting and Ricky releasing two solo albums and travelling the world
working with various artists such as Nancy Wilson, Faith Hill, The
Backstreet Boys, Lionel Ritchie, Babyface, Aaron Neville and others.
Shireen and Ricky married other partners and started families. Their
love of music reconnected them some 20 plus years later, both now
divorced. They fell in love and married and are now recording together
as Crutchfield Jones. Their first single "You’re Not Here (A Christmas Song)" in 2020 followed by "Crazy Ass" in Jan 2022 (and a later
remix
of it) followed by "Queen Appeal" a new take on Sade's 1984 debut single "Your Love Is King".
They start 2023 with a bang with a debut five track EP "The Crutchfield Jones Project". The two standout tracks to these ears on first listen are "Toast To Toast" and "Sunshine". There are two nice mellow ballads "Cloudy" and "Go On And Do This", with "Find Me" being a bit of an mid 80s pop throwback.
