There’s evidence now on DVD shelves that, before the strong-voiced Jones was a swoon-inducing showroom star, this Welsh coal miner’s son could kick out the jams with the best of them. Make that the best of the best. Aretha Franklin. Janis Joplin. Joe Cocker. Stevie Wonder. “This Is Tom Jones: Rock ‘n’ Roll Legends” spotlights [...]
Lily Allen kicked off the celebration, Prince Harry kicked off the Concert for Diana with the iconic words “Hello Wembley!” He and Prince William organised the event to celebrate the life of their mother, Princess Diana, on what would have been her 46th birthday. Weeks of wet weather cleared on cue over the new stadium, [...]
57 episodes of This Is Tom Jones were aired from February 1969 to January 1971. Originally broadcast on ITV and America’s ABC network, the variety show captured the singer in his prime, when he was one of the world’s greatest and most original performers.
Maybe it’s that deep, beautiful baritone that can shake a concert venue to the core. Or the way he wears those oh-so-tight pants — well into his 60s. Or the way he curls his lip just so when he belts out the chorus of “She’s a Lady.” “Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh,” indeed.
There is no maybe when it comes [...]
Editor’s Note: The Crosby, Stills and Nash footage was pulled from the commercial version of this DVD due to licensing issues.
It’s no accident Tom Jones used to look and sound so much like Elvis Presley. Growing up, the Welsh singer modeled himself after the boy from Tupelo. Presley admired Jones, as well. The King patterned [...]
DAYTONA BEACH — Two types of women’s panties flew at singer Tom Jones during his sold-out concert Tuesday night at Peabody Auditorium: sexy, sheer thongs the width of spaghetti, and a few granny panties the size of Nebraska. Which ones did the 1960s-spawned pop crooner deserve? For most of the night — those thongs, though [...]
How Tom Jones made sexual innuendo the lingua franca of rock and roll. Long before the birth of modern boytoy crooners, long before Justin would volunteer to bring sexy back, long before sexy would need bringing back, women by the scores (pun intended) excitedly tossed bras and panties at a stage occupied by a curly-haired [...]
Before I begin this review, I have to post a disclaimer: I write reviews and criticism for a living and at all times try to be objective. That is true here, too. But I have to let you know that I am a Tom Jones fan. Jones began playing here almost 40 years ago [...]
When it comes to sex appeal in the AARP demographic, Tom Jones is no Mick Jagger. He’s better. Of course, such judgments are subjective, but based on the sheer number of women’s undergarments tossed on stage at Friday’s sold-out show at Hard Rock Live, the 66-year-old sex symbol is way hotter than that kid in [...]
HE is known as simply “The Voice” and last night legendary sex-bomb Sir Tom Jones showed exactly why. The crowd at Glasgow’s packed Clyde Auditorium was on its feet from start to finish as the Welsh singing sensation took to the stage for the first of a two-night stint in the city. Taking his audience [...]
