Tom Jones has just turned 80 and seems to have gained an extra lease of life. His appearances on The Voice have helped this new found energy. I hope I will still be as fit when/if I reach his age!
Throughout his life, he supported a few different music genres. Which was the best? Pop, R&B, soul, country or gospel?
Is he one of the last truly world class entertainers?

He is a legend! But I have to say I'm not keen on his gospel spell.
I saw him a few years ago at Sandown park and when he sang the gospel songs
the crowd was flat but when he did his 'Greats' like It's not unusual they went wild!

Legend. And like many true legends, not up his own arse, a genuinely nice geezer.

As for his best 'period'...Soul and R&B? Didn't he do a duet with Otis Redding or something? Bloody good it was too

Liked a pint or two and a cigar with the boys in his local when he was
living in Surrey in the 60's according to his book...a Proper Geezer as you say WW

Happy Birthday to him. For me he was at his best in his 60s heyday singing his classics, Green Green Grass Of Home among them though he didn't want to live their for years.

A big shagger which his wife of many years knew all about. A self made man who came from not a lot but had The Voice and last time I saw him sing on TV a few months ago he could still sing unlike so many of his age or near his age. Paul McCartney was embarrassingly bad when I last saw him try to sing, and he was due to do Glastonbury this month.

The main thing I admire about him is he has always been prepared to sing live and belt a tune out, he was on so many shows over the years doing so and always sounded great to me.

Yes he certainly had the 'live voice' External Link/Members Only

... and with so many women throwing their knickers at him it would be difficult not be a shagger

Frank Zappa had a patchwork quilt made of all the underwear that got thrown up on his stage.

I wonder where it is now? It would certainly get a pretty good price on eBay

.

Not as classy as our Tom though, he merely mopped his brow down with them before carrying on with his performance (and probably giving them one backstage afterwards, or perhaps even inviting them back for a night in his hotel suite).

I guess these days the girls would simply write their mobile numbers on their knickers, you'd discreetly stick them in your pocket and check out their WhatsApp profile after the gig and simply pick out the most promising looking ones. Oh, how times have changed

"In a 2015 interview with the Big Issue, Tom revealed he would dip his genitals in Listerine to “make everything down there sterile” before sex"

A man goes to the Doctor and says, "Doctor, I can't stop singing certain songs. All morning I've been humming 'The Green, Green Grass Of Home.' Yesterday it was, 'Delilah.' Last week I sang 'What's New Pussycat?' at least 100 times! What's wrong with me?"

The Doctor says, "Sounds like Tom Jones Syndrome to me."

The man says, "I've never heard of that. Is it common?"

The Doctor says, "It's not unusual."

I wonder if he ever drove all the women in the crowd insane with lust by having a good sniff of them?
