Tom Jones International

We’ve again come across a few radio interviews Tom has done in the last several years that many of you may have missed, so we’ll be linking to them when we have the time. And, even if you’ve already heard them, it’s always great to hear that voice we love to hear singing, even when it is speaking, as that’s pretty spectacular, too.

In 2003, Terry Gross, host of the National Public Radio show Fresh Air did an in-depth interview with Tom. It was intelligent and far-ranging. As the NPR program note says:

“The musical icon first gained fame with the 1960s hits It’s Not Unusual, Delilah, and What’s New Pussycat. In the last 40 years of his career, he has released more than 30 hit singles and several gold and multi-platinum records. In his heyday he was famous for his live performances and for the frenzy he caused amongst his female fans — many of whom threw their underwear onstage and rushed the stage. Jones’ name today has come to connote hipness and romance.”
