Oran "Juice" Jones is a retired American R&B singer. 

Jones was the first musician signed to OBR Records, a subsidiary of Def Jam.

 

His song "The Rain" became a hit in 1986, peaking at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100. It ranks him on VH1's top 100 One Hit Wonders of the 80's. He followed it with "How to Love Again," a duet with labelmate Alyson Williams.

Jones earned two Grammy nominations for "The Rain" and released two more albums, but failed to have significant follow-up success. Two of his children, his son Oran II, who has also gone by Mookie, and his daughter Perri, followed their father into the music business.

Jones collaborated twice with porn star turned singer, Midori. In 1997 they record a duet of "Let's Stay Together" for his album Player's Call and Jones appeared on Midori's single "5,10,15,20" on the Porn to Rock compilation album released in 1999. Source.
