- At 23, he began billing himself as Tommy Scott and singing with the Senators. He went solo the following year and, after changing his name to Tom Jones, with the help of singer-turned-manager Gordon Mills, he won a contract with Decca.
Jones had his first hit in 1965 with 'It's Not Unusual'. His flamboyance and knock-'em-dead sex appeal helped make him a major star, with four more hits that year.
An avalanche of gold singles and albums were soon to follow, including 'Delilah', 'Help Yourself', 'Love Me Tonight', and Tom Jones in Las Vegas'. For much of the late 1960s, several of his LPs were in the Top ten Charts in both Europe and the United States.
Continuing into the 1970s gold hits came with 'I (Who Have Nothing)', 'She's A Lady' and 'Tom Jones Live at Caesars Palace'. By the end of 1970 Tom had sold over thirty million discs, in all categories around the world.
He's so manly and charming. Very down to Earth.
SO sorry to hear he had TB. That's one disease that weakens the lungs. AND YET, HE HAS THE MOST POWERFUL VOICE IN THE KINGDOM. H's such a nice man, very humble & sweet. Not fair he should lose his wife Linda, but life is like that for all of us. So glad he didn't become a coal miner, it would have been the worlds greatest loss. He's magic, his voice is incomperable. And he still looks good, the years have been kind. Sir Tom was blessed w/ a voice "DIVINE"................
anna Last shut up he was a cheating, whoring, philandering bastard! Awful, selfish man who shirked his responsibilities in marriage and as a father.
@@dewality8768 Judge only yourself if you have to.
He was quarantined for 2 years back then!
What an intelligent interviewer. Not some vapid, unaware kid with stupid questions. I'll be checking out your other work.
Humble and kind. I think he's always been the same. And still handsome too ;)
Been a fan of 'Sir Tom' since i was 14 i am now 61 that says a lot eh!
He is always great wonderful
Great singer and cool guy
Great entertainer👏👏👏👏👏👏NO doubt!👏👏👏👏
OMG! Admiring him still more 👍🎼🎹🕺🏿💃😘🤗
What a Lovely Man God bless you Sir Tom Jones ✝️♥️🙏🏻
no matter how hard these interviewer's TRY to get Tom to ? Complain or say something Negative
He Never Does !! He is grateful and sincere .,.I have listened to his interviews for years,.he NEVER complains
He got a model pregnant when he was around 50 and claimed she "tricked" him. He eventually had to pay child support, though tried to get out of it. He has completely ignored his own child to this day. He's a fake and a bastard.
And that man blames all his problems and downfall on Tom not being there. He only wants recognition based on his father's life. Make one for yourself
From Welsh miner background, to hit records, to Vegas. And the pipes to do it.
Legend !!!
Tom Jones;jedinecny,jedinecny,uzasny,nenahraditelny!!👍😘😘💟
Hi what ever your saying 😉 😊 I agree 💯. My late husband, Alyun, Idris Pounder came from the same Valley as Sir Tom Jones. I had a crushed 😂 on him and my husband couldn't stand 😂 him. He use to say, he's the Village Idiot and shameless for the ladies throwing their undies 😂 to him. Blaaaha. I never got to see Tom Jones in any of his concerts
I'm a Kiwi, and met my husband here in New Zealand 49 years ago. We did go to visit he's home 😊 town. I loved Wales.
He knows how to manage his money. He's wise.
Blessed
So TBC saved Tom Jones from a life working in the mines. A blessing in disguise, not only for Sir Jones, but for everyone. What a voice!
It also saved the mines from Tom Jones. His vocal power would make the mines collapse...
Estás equivocad@, él NUNCA trabajó en las minas, por padecer en su pubertad de tuberculosis. Así que informate mejor!
Обожаю всю жизнь с 10 лет ,как только первый раз услышала его по радио «голос Америки»
Thanks.
I have had the pleasure of seeing Tom in concert several times. But I would rather see him live everyday.. I buy cheap wine and drink it by myself. I love cheap champagne.
The LEGEnd!! my number one singer. i always love him
Thanks for sharing this video. I really enjoyed hearing Tom tell his story. I'm unable to find find part 3 :-(.

I never thought I'd say such but I am like Tom as far as money. Even if I have the money to buy the food that's expensive on a menu I don't buy it because a person is getting a fat bill fold over nothing.
What a showman...he has the most beautiful teeth....what a smile. Then and now his talent is awe inspiring and still hot 🥵😂🔥
Live That Belt Buckle ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Where is part 3 would really like to hear it.
Muy buenas sus entrevistas no m cansó de verlas .todo un documento
You took on responsibility as a husband, father, son n law an then the head of the household when your father n law died. You did right by the family.❤😊
Ay guapisimo fuimabas mucho. Por eso envejeciste rápido..
A estas alturas a los 83 años tiene más de un cirugías plasticas
he is so right about money. Why become rich just to throw it away? Senseless. Do some good with it. Oh Tom, honey. See your kid.
Less is Best the junkie one? I doubt it
Brilliant concept about money
Please Tom take care of your Son...give him a hug... buy him a house..car...get him a job....
Love
Tom Jones could pass for Mr.Brady.
Usually, for a person to have such a raspy, soulful, sexy voice, and be able to sing, one must be black.
Unbelievable that he had a Roman nose before the rhinoplasty.
The banner is distracting here😂
Tom, man up, give Johnathan Berkery your love.
Переведите на русский))
Male privileges, Tom had lots of that!
A lot of people from South Wales or drug addict's
not true lol,,
How sexy is Tom 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
tom jone is english you never hear him on about his english roots tom family moved from england to wales his realy name is thomas woodword tom jones was his stage name he was only born their. and his father was made to work in the pits but he cames across as the proud welsh man and he need to look after his son that he disowned and his green grass of home is not sow green after all
how the hell is he english,,,he was born in treforest,,pontypridd ,glamorgan and that is in wales,,, and his name was thomas john woodward,,
Maybe he comes across as a proud Welsh man because that is exactly what he is!!!!!! A WELSH MAN. What on earth are you talking about here?
Idoliketomjones
My granch on my dad's side was English and I have an English last name yet when my family came to south Wales they assimalated into the culture sent there children to Welsh speaking schools and because of that I fully consider myself Welsh even though I might not have the last name to prove it.
I'd imagine Tom Jones felt the same way but didn't want people to confuse were he's from as he's probably proud of were he's from so he gave himself a common Welsh last name
you never year about his english back ground tom moved from england and his to wales but he make out to be the proud welsh man from the valleys he was just born their thats all sow is green grass of home is not sow green after all and tom jone is not his realy name his realy name is thomas woodword and he realy need to look after his son that he disowned
Maybe he had his own reasons. We cannot judge.
Only because you never read his autobiography apparently. He is a proud Welsh man and a proud British citizen, born and bred in Wales as was his father. And "Jones" was a family name on his mother's side as well as a stage name. Lighten up. And personally, I'm sick to death of hearing about this "poor" son who is now a grown man and then some and should have taken care of himself by now instead of trying to milk the situation. Whatever the financial arrangements were at the time, we don't know since nobody is talking but a legal settlement was made. Ask mom where it went and why she raised her son to live on the streets.
