Tom Jones is a Welsh singer whose powerful baritone, soul-driven delivery, and charismatic stage presence have made him one of the most enduring voices in popular music. Born Thomas John Woodward in Pontypridd, Wales, he broke through with “It’s Not Unusual” and built an extensive catalog spanning pop, soul, R&B, rock, country, blues, and traditional standards. His signature recordings include “What’s New Pussycat?,” “Delilah,” “Green Green Grass of Home,” “She’s a Lady,” “Kiss” with Art of Noise, and “Sexbomb” with Mousse T. Later albums such as Praise & Blame, Spirit in the Room, Long Lost Suitcase, and 2021’s Surrounded by Time showcased a rawer roots-oriented side of his voice, with Surrounded by Time reaching No. 1 in the UK. Jones is a Grammy Award winner, multiple BRIT Award recipient, and was knighted for services to music.
