In 1968, Jones auditioned to become an Ikette and was hired on the spot. While most Ikettes didn't last long, Jones was one of the constant members until the end of the Ike &amp; Tina Turner Revue in 1976. At one point, she had briefly quit when Ike Turner fined her $15 for being late onstage. Due to her experience and leadership, Jones trained the other Ikettes and was referred to as "Motha" Ikette. During her tenure as an Ikette she was responsible for most of the choreography. Tina Turner described her as "the hardest worker and toughest dancer." As an Ikette with Ike &amp; Tina Turner, Jones opened for the Rolling Stones on their 1969 American tour. They were featured in the Isley Brothers concert film "It's Your Thing" (1970) and had a cameo in the Miloš Forman film "Taking Off" (1971). The revue toured the world and performed at the Independence Day concert in Accra, Ghana, which was released as the film "Soul to Soul" (1971). They also appeared on various television shows such as "The Hollywood Palace", "The Ed Sullivan Show", "The Andy Williams Show", and "Soul Train."
