RIP Tom Jones


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

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!

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!

Yet again, wrong Tom Jones.

Unsolicited advice; it helps to actually read some of the responses before you post.

Its not unusual to get Tom Joneses mixed up , it happens every day, no matter what you say.
