History
Tom Jones, born Thomas John Woodward on 7 June 1940 in Treforest, Wales, is a Welsh singer known for his powerful "full-throated, robust baritone." He began performing in 1963 as frontman of the Welsh beat group Tommy Scott and the Senators. Manager Gordon Mills renamed him Tom Jones, after the 1963 film, and secured him a Decca contract. His breakthrough came in 1965 with "It's Not Unusual," pushed to No. 1 in the UK partly by pirate station Radio Caroline. That year he also recorded the James Bond theme "Thunderball" and "What's New Pussycat?," then won the 1966 Grammy for Best New Artist. Later hits include "Green, Green Grass of Home," "Delilah," "She's a Lady," "Sex Bomb," and a cover of Prince's "Kiss." His range spans pop, R&B, soul, country, and gospel; he has sold over 100 million records, with 36 UK and 19 US Top 40 hits. He held a Las Vegas residency from 1967 to 2011, was knighted in 2006, and found renewed fame in the 2010s as a coach on The Voice UK. He and Elvis Presley became friends after meeting on a film set in 1965.
