The old great Welsh traditions of poetry and song were the love of the laborers - born of their earth, the life of their gatherings, the soul of their hard lives.
Tom was singing at an early age. He sang in the church and with the choir at the Treforrest Secondary Modern School. Tom was offered his own television show the summer of 1969. A contract was drawn with ABC that was the largest ever between network and artist. In 1987, Tom was asked to perform a musical play with a bullfighting theme called Matador on the CBS Epic label. The single, A Boy From Nowhere, reached #2 on the British charts that summer. This prompted insistent requests for It's Not Unusual in the London clubs along with a very successful re-release of the song in the charts. A new interest in Tom Jones emerged amongst a whole new generation of fans.
