RIP Tom Jones


Looks like a long successful run has come to an end for Tom.

Tom Jones Dies: Wrote Book And Lyrics For Long-Running ‘The Fantasticks’, Was 95 (yahoo.com)

My mother loved Tom in the early 70's and had  many of his LP's playing in the house. 

He sure had all the soul/presence of any of the big names that were around during the hey day.

What a voice!

Good grief!

I clearly mixed up reading/comprehending what I read!

Nevermind.

I'll crawl back into my hole now

"Wish I would have read Cleeds post before I permed my hair (as a tribute)."

I went out and bought extra tight pants then spent last night throwing panties at my mirror reflection.

Wait, Tom Jones died??

RIP Tom , I met him several times when I had my Audio store in the U.K

i would see him at the Heathrow show back in the 200s He owned some Manley gear and he and Eva were friends ,he was friends with Elvis ,Frank Sinatra, and many others a great talent , at his shows it was tradition women through panties on the stage starting to one time his was sweating , the rest is history .

It appears many others are as mistaken as I was 😊.

@roxy54. My dad's taste was more like your parents. Smooth vocals, especially Andy Williams. The great thing about Andy Williams is that he had Henry Mancini songs offered to him first. I adore "Moon River", "Days Of Wine And Roses", and "Can't Get Used To Losing You".

The irony is that my mom was born and grew up in the city (Sacramento), my dad on a farm in South Dakota (his father was a sharecrop farmer). Go figure!
