"The Full Life" (1977) was produced by Jones and Bruce Johnston of The Beach Boys; on this album, Jones recorded the Beach Boys classics "God Only Knows" and "Disney Girls." His last LP for RCA was "With One More Look at You" (1977), which includes a rendition of the Little Feat hit "Dixie Chicken"; this performance later resurfaced on "Golden Throats 2: More Celebrity Rock Oddities". In 1979 he moved to MGM Records, recording the album "Nobody Does It Better", which featured a disco version of "The Love Boat," the opening theme from the TV series of the same name, and his Grammy winner "Wives and Lovers." His second (and, due to its subsequent closure, his last) MGM album, "Don't Stop Now", featured duets with Maureen McGovern.
