Born in #Manila, #IgnatiusJones’ family migrated to #Australia where he pursued careers in acting & music- his 1982 debut single “Like A Ghost” was penned by #TheChurch’s frontman #SteveKilbey. Critic #AmyTodd calls it “an underappreciated #80s gem”- it was an early Starck fave

Sad to hear of the passing of Ignatius Jones, former lead singer of iconic 80s Australian band, Jimmy & the Boyz. He was a bright light of another world and a much more egalitarian, creative Australia #ignatiusjones #jimmyandtheboys

Ignatius Jones also had a big solo hit in 1982 with "Like a Ghost", a perfect little slice of 80s electro popwritten by Steve Kilbey of The Church #ignatiusjones #liķeaghost #jimmyandtheboys #80smusic #sydney80s
