Donell Jones (born May 22, 1973) is an American R&B singer, songwriter and producer, most notable for the hits “U Know What’s Up”, “Where I Wanna Be” and his cover of Stevie Wonder’s “Knocks Me Off My Feet”.

In 1996, he signed with LaFace Records and released his debut album, My Heart, which included his hit cover of Stevie Wonder’s 1976 ballad “Knocks Me Off My Feet”.

    Donell is just so smooth. One of the best male R&B singers(vocally & musically) in my opinion. I love all his music. <3
