I really like the song he does called Don't Let Go, and I posted on that song and album a few weeks ago. But I like these record covers too. Check out the fun clip of him doing that song with Tom Jones. Speaking of Tom Jones - I see tons of his old records down in the fifty cent bins. That's because he sold millions of records. He is now known officially as Sir Thomas John Woodward, OBE. I was unaware the Queen bestowed the title of Officer of the Order of the British Empire upon him. Tom was born June 7th, 1940, and of course took the stage name of Tom Jones early on. For the son of a Welsh coal miner - this singer has had a massive fan base and huge following still today - along with many ups and downs in a long career that has included two TV variety shows. Tom took his racy (for the time) act to Vegas with his shirt unbuttoned, and tight slacks and packed them into the Flamingo. His his powerful voice and blue-eyed soul has been popular since his breakout song - It's Not Unusual, in the mid 1960s. Jones has sung many different styles of pop music – from pop, rock, R&B, show tunes, country, dance, techno, soul and gospel – and has sold over 100 million records.
