Tom Jones - From The Valleys To Vegas By Gwen Russell
From the sleepy Welsh town of Pontypridd to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, from selling vacuum cleaners door-to-door to sell-out Las Vegas shows, Tom Jones is Britain's best-loved singer-songwriter. This comprehensive biography celebrates Tom's remarkable career and reveals the man behind the icon. Celebrity biographer Gwen Russell traces Tom's phenomenal journey from his first South Wales gigs as an unsigned frontman, to his breakthrough hit 'It's Not Unusual' and beyond to his superstardom as the voice behind 'What's New Pussycat', 'Delilah' and 'She's a Lady'. But it has not all been plain sailing for the legendary Grammy and Brit Award-winning entertainer whose shows are renowned for knicker-hurling frenzies: Tom was struck down by tuberculosis and bed-ridden for almost a year; he has
had affairs; lost his long-time manager to cancer; and ridden the quiet times in his career to come out on top. His collaborations read like a who's who of pop and rock history and include Johnny Cash, The Bee Gees, Robbie Williams, Pavarotti, Jools Holland and The Cardigans - not forgetting, of course, his recent Comic Relief rendition of 'Islands in the Stream' with Gavin and Stacey characters Bryn and Nessa. This informative and affectionate account includes recollections from famous friends, relatives and contemporaries. It paints a complete portrait of one of Britain's most talented men; a true national treasure.
