      *On the heels of the death Tuesday of famed producer Norman Whitfield, another Motown legend has passed.

      EUR has just learned that Bob Jones, who - for years - ran the label's PR department, died Saturday of a heart attack.

      As of this posting, official details are not available. However, EUR was told by a source that Jones died in his garage after coming back from riding his bike.

      After his long stint at Motown, in 1987 Jones left the lable to work with Michael Jackson at MJJ Productions. In 2004, the association went sour and he was terminated, according to Wikipedia.

      In 2005, Jones, along with writer Stacy Brown published a very unflattering book about Jackson called "The Man Behind the Mask." It was promoted as a true insider's account because Jones had spent a total of 34 years with the superstar.

      EUR will have more details as they become available.
