During the sixties decade, Jones's success on the country charts continued. He reached the top of the Billboard country songs list twice in the early decade with "She Thinks I Still Care" and "Tender Years".

Among his collaborative releases with the artists were "Waltz of the Angels" (1962), "We Must Have Been Out of Our Minds" (1963) and "Things Have Gone to Pieces" (1965).

Jones had more commercial success during the seventies. He reached the number one spot on both the Billboard and RPM country charts with "The Grand Tour" (1974) and "The Door" (1974).

As the seventies progressed, his singles reached the top ten and top 20 with less frequency. In 1980, Jones returned to the number one spot with "He Stopped Loving Her Today".
