Sir Tom Jones

Wow he has hair!!!


How many of us remember our parents
mooning over this man?
The wild hip shaking and jerky thrusting
motions that made me wonder at the guts
he had to do this infront of millions of
people.

LONDON Mar 29, 2006 (AP)— Welsh singer Tom Jones
is getting used to meeting Queen Elizabeth II but
Wednesday was something special as she dubbed
him, "Sir Tom."
The 65-year-old singer, a coal miner's son from the
Welsh town of Pontypridd, received the honor from
the queen at Buckingham Palace.
Jones said he had met the British monarch "six or
seven times, maybe more," starting with a royal
charity performance in 1966.
"I love seeing the queen and I have always been a
royalist," Jones said after the investiture.
"She is lovely and she still is lovely."
The big-voiced belter, who was accompanied by his
son, daughter and granddaughter, said receiving
the knighthood was "just tremendous."
"When you first come into show business and you
get a hit record, it is the start of something," he said.
"As time goes on, it just gets better. This is the best
thing that I have had. It is a wonderful feeling, a
heady feeling.
"Sometimes you just can't believe it, you think you
have been dreaming."
Born Thomas Jones Woodward, Jones began his
singing career at age 3. His string of hits started
with "It's Not Unusual" in 1965, and includes
"What's New, Pussycat?,"
"Green, Green Grass of Home,"
"Help Yourself,"
"She's a Lady," and
"Never Fall in Love Again,"
