Tom Jones rulez! He’s still successful with the same collection of songs in the last decades. He sang the title song of a bond film (thunderball) with Sean Connery starring James Bond. And he has his own Las Vegas Show! geeeee!!!!!
Some trivia:
Tom spent two years in bed with Tuberculosis
Tom doesn’t speak any Welsh
Tom always uses a swizzle stick to get rid of the bubbles in his champagne.
The vocal for Daughter of Darkness was recorded in one take – when Tom was drunk.
Three months before Tom first hit he was so depressed he thought about throwing himself in front of a tube train and had to be talked out of it by his best friend and bass guitarist Vernon Hopkins.

Soul, depth, power, deep sexuality and enormous charisma – This is what is voice represents! One of the BEST male voices to come out of the 1960’s. No one can match his early vocal range OR power.
both presley and orbison could sing higher notes without near the effort . i am a musician and volume and vibrato was toms great skill in singing and gave his songs power .. love to hear him sing but to say no one had his range is hardly true…
