  The Uriel Jones Headstone Project represents interested parties focused on purchasing a headstone for Motown drummer, Uriel Jones.

     Mr. Jones was a member of Motown's in-studio band The Funk Brothers. 

     Mr Jones played on many of Motown's most popular hits including:

Ain't No Mountain High Enough

I Heard It Through The Grapevine

I Second That Emotion

Cloud Nine

For Once in My Life

Ain't Too Proud To Beg

What Becomes of The Brokenhearted

Tracks of My Tears

I Can't Get Next To You

Ain't That Peculiar

 

Mr. Jones is buried at Woodlawn Cemetery in Detroit, Michigan. His grave is currently unmarked.

The UJHP seeks to raise a portion of the funds needed through Indiegogo.
