Mark Lawson Talks To…Tom Jones. Watch the BBC 4 Interview Here

November 15th, 2010 | By TomJones

Mark Lawson talks to the iconic singer Sir Tom Jones about his life in and out of the limelight. Jones reflects on his modest upbringing in a coal mining community from the early pub tours in his native south Wales to achieving international acclaim – and the accompanying pressures of fame.

Since the 1960s Jones’s unique voice and charisma established him as the quintessential pop star and sex symbol with hits such as It’s Not Unusual and What’s New Pussycat? After a succession of number one records, he moved to the USA where he hosted television shows and toured tirelessly. For five decades he has remained one of the most recognisable voices in popular music. Given his success at 70, a new album and new image, Sir Tom shares some of his most memorable life experiences and his dreams for the future.
