I saw Tom Jones 5 years straight in Vegas in the early 70s. He had a command of the audience that was excellent. Many times men would say that they were there because their wife/girlfriend was a fan. Upon leaving I'd hear comments like, "We're coming back next year to see Tom (they were on a first name basis now). He was so great in getting the appropriate emotion into each number BETTER than so many other singers. (I include Linda Ronstadt as one of those.) His voice was clear and strong and he knew how to milk each note for the most effect. I'm glad you enjoyed the number. Listen to "Delilah." The lyrics throw you for a loop. Or the C & W "The Green, Green Grass of Home." Maybe you'd like his first hit, "What's New Pussycat." It was the theme for a movie of the same name. (When you have the time take a look at the film itself. It was written by Woody Allen and takes place in Paris.) Here's a few others form Tom Jones to listen to: "With These Hands," "Funny, Familiar, Forgotten Feelings," "Love Me Tonight," "She's a Lady," Enjoy!!!
