That year, 1968, was a watershed year in many ways. I was very young but I remember dragging my then-husband to the Miami Beach Convention Center to see Tom Jones. He (my husband) came away very impressed with the man’s voice and presence. I saw Elvis and Johnny Cash at the Convention Center in 1968, also. They were both wonderful but TJ was the best. I had seen TJ in 1967,the year before, in a nightclub setting. I believe it was the now historic Deauville Hotel in Miami. Oh, how time flies! Sure glad he is still around to entertain us all. Here’s wishing Tom many, many, more healthful and productive years!!!

This brings back many many memories,I remember a photograph in the biography written by Peter Jones in 1969 or 1970 of Tom standing in front of the Flamingo shaking hands witha beautiful woman and Kaye Ballards name in big letters and Tom’s in somewhat smaller letters Oh how times changed after that appearance

Kaye Ballard is long gone. Maybe John Scott is gone too. BUT “THE VOICE” STILL ROCKS! Thanks for the review.

I agree that it would be interesting for this reviewer to make a another visit 40 years later! Also, I think Tom has always been underestimated in this country for his singing and musical contributions.
