Tom Jones

Sir Thomas Jones Woodward, OBE (born 7 June 1940), known by his stage name Tom Jones, is a Welsh singer. He became one of the most popular vocalists to emerge from the mid-1960s. Since then he has sung nearly every form of popular music – pop, rock, R&B, show tunes, country, dance, soul and gospel – and sold over 100 million records. Jones has had thirty-six Top 40 hits in the United Kingdom and nineteen in the United States; some of his notable songs include "It's Not Unusual", "What's New Pussycat", "Delilah", "Green, Green Grass of Home", "She's a Lady", "Kiss" and "Sex Bomb". Having been awarded an OBE in 1999, Jones received a knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II for "services to music" in 2006. Jones has received numerous other awards throughout his career, including the Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 1966, an MTV Video Music Award in 1989 and two Brit Awards – winning Best British Male, in 2000, and Outstanding Contribution to Music, in 2003.

Links To Peel
Peel was playing Tom Jones records while working for Radio London on 17 July 1967, but on that day, it seemed like that he was forced to play an unlikely playlist, which included amongst others Julie Rogers and the Shadows. However when Peel saw Tom Jones at Glastonbury in 1992, he seemed to enjoy his performance so much, that on 03 July 1992, he considered getting hold of the performance and broadcast it as a session, however it turned out to be one of the Sessions That Never Happened.
