I knew that I could sing and I was not frightened of anything. [But] I did not want to be part of a choir in Wales. I wanted to show off."

Evidence (2014-05-12): The amount of animosity towards Morrissey recently has been somewhat of a surprise, considering the enthusiasm with which he is also loved, sort of like Kanye except with a shorter creative peak. Opener Tom Jones, which made sense when you consider the loungey-ness of Moz at this point in his career, has had a completely opposite career arc. Jones has never been considered a creative genius or cultural apex, but he has endured through hard work and smarts. With a career spanning 50 years, Jones plays a set nearly half-full of covers, including a version of "Bad As Me" by Tom Waits, and his own favorites. "Delilah" was such a favorite that the particularly drunk were still requesting it long after it had been performed. "It’ Not Unusual", though, received the biggest reception I may have ever heard at a concert, where an entire arena exploded with joy. Upon finishing, Jones spoke about the half-century that has gone by since that song became his first hit. He then turned his back to the audience and walked toward the back stage, talking to himself as much as anyone, adding, "And it still sounds good."

Evidence (2014-10-02): I am a huge fan of Tom Jones' singing, as cheesy as much of his repertoire is, but the man is kind of a proto-Ken Tamplin in terms of his range, control and general vocal ability. I notice on songs where he has to sing really high phrases, he sings pretty light and bright on his low notes, but when he sores up high, he always hits the notes from above and can control it amazingly. I've never heard any singer like him. He is a lowish baritone who can hit sustained Pavarotti-ish high C's and even high D's with vibrato! He is pretty old now and his peak was arguably from the mid-sixties to the early 70's, but what a voice. Definitely one of the greatest voices ever in the age of recorded music. [...] Comments - highmtn Administrator, Moderator, Enrolled, Pro, 3.0 Streaming Posts: 15,378I like Tom Jones' work as well. He is someone with a great tone and a lot of range, in my opinion. Joseph Pro Posts: 260I must admit, historically I really didn't like Tom Jones at all, but after starting with KTVA my singer preferences and opinions have changed markedly. We had a Xmas breakup party at a restaurant that showed one of Tom's recent concerts. He sang for 3 hours. I mean he SANG. Age 60s or later. Still does like 200+ shows every year. Amazing. Respect!
