How neat we can communicate with Gordon Mills' family. Please share our wishes with your family that we are all very happy to see your father receive this honor!! In all the bios I have read on Tom, he stated his appreciation and acknowledgement of all that your father had done for him. Thank you for posting on the forum.</p> Tracy, It is an honor to have you posting to us, and to all Tom’s fans. How neat we can communicate with Gordon Mills’ family.

I can remember way back in the day, Gordon appreciated the fan clubs regarding their good works for charity. He often sent letters of appreciation and thanks to the clubs and the fans. It was very nice that he took the time to recognize the fans and treat them with respect.</p> What a lovely tribute.

From everything I've read/heard about him, it's the one single subject in the whole of show business that interests me the most. What he did all those years ago for Tom/Engelbert/Gilbert was incredible. There is only one other manager who come close with that magic touch, but he was in English football (soccer) by the name of Brian Clough. Gordon Mills was unique and will live forever in history.</p> Tracy - it’s great that your dad is recognised, about time.

I am Gordon's eldest daughter, Tracy. I am living in Zimbabwe and was unable to attend the memorial to my dad in Wales this last weekend. However, I've heard all about it from my family who said it was a most wonderful day. I just want to say that I am so glad that someone has actually decided to honour my dad in this way. As my brother Gordon said, to do it once could have been fluke. But to make three completely different people into world-wide superstars ..... definitely talent! My dad was an extraordinary man who was able to see other talent for what it was, get tremendously excited about it and then actually act on his own excitement in turning that talent into star quality. A rare gift indeed. To all of you who have made wonderful comments about my dad, I would like to thank you so much.</p> Hello. I am Gordon’s eldest daughter, Tracy.

I am sure Tom was pleased to see this honor given to his manager, who led him to success. It was nice to see Gordon Mills recognized in his own hometown.</p> A simple and dignified celebration in honor of Gordon Mills.

We are all lucky he came along when he did and we are all richer for it.</p> We just want to note that Gordon Mills’ influence on Tom Jones is inestimable.
