Sir Thomas Jones Woodward OBE, known professionally as Tom Jones, is a Welsh
singer.
His career began with a string of top-ten hits in the
mid-1960s. He has toured regularly, with appearances in Las Vegas (1967–2011).
His performing range has included pop, R&B, show tunes, country, dance, soul and
gospel. In 2008, the New York Times called Tom Jones a musical "shape
shifter",
who could "slide from soulful rasp to pop croon, with a voice as husky as it was
pretty".
Jones has sold more than 100 million records, with 36 Top 40 hits in the
UK and 19 in the US, including "It's Not Unusual", "What's New Pussycat?", the
theme song for the 1965 James Bond film Thunderball, "Green, Green Grass of
Home", "Delilah", "She's a Lady", "Kiss" and "Sex Bomb".
Jones's bluesy singing style developed out of the sound of American soul music.
His early influences included blues, R&B and rock and roll singers Little
Richard, Solomon Burke, Jackie Wilson, Brook Benton, Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee
Lewis.
Jones's voice has been described as a "full-throated, robust baritone".
Tom Jones is the quintessential ladies man. His name is synonymous with the words
"sex symbol." It is not unusual for ladies to toss undergarments onstage when he sings.
In his native Wales, he is known as "Jones the Voice." Today,
he is one of the most enduring personalities in the music entertainment business. His
unique vocal power, ability and charismatic persona make him one of the most respected,
admired and loved performers in modern music.
Tom's
unique weighty voice is a baritone to tenor range. He is a vocal powerhouse with the
ability to give his audience every ounce of his energy, enthusiasm and concentration. If
his delivery is vigorous, he invites his audience in with the vulnerability of his
emotional conviction. He is a natural, a Welshman, a worker, an artist.
Tom possesses a wide range of musical expression. He is first and foremost a
rocker with a true rhythm and blues soul. In his youth, he was a "Teddy-Boy," a
rebel, with not much on his mind but music and sex. His young style and attitude was
dominated by the birth of rock 'n' roll. But he had ears and a natural ability that could
appreciate and understand the quickly burgeoning styles of popular music. As much time as
he spent listening to American and British radio he would spend in the pubs, drinking and
singing. He learned he could sing anything, and he learned he could entertain.
Tom Jones has sustained his popularity for more than
three decades. His recordings have spanned the spectrum from gospel to pop, rock to
standard, rhythm and blues to rock-a-billy, country to contemporary urban sounds. His
sensuous performance style is legendary, while his salient grace is that he never takes
his image too seriously.
With his tremendous recording success, Tom Jones has
been able to draw capacity audiences everywhere, from concert halls and arenas in the U.S.
and Europe to the showrooms of Las Vegas. His skills as a showman and entertainer are
sharply developed. His energy, openness and spontaneity charm critics and audiences alike.
