Flashback Friday: Double Shot Tom

 



One of the coolest pop songs ever recorded, "She's A Lady" released in
January, 1971 brings back memories of my Dad laying on the living room
floor, his legs stretched out to the blaze in the fireplace, watching this
handsome Welsh singer's variety program, "This Is Tom Jones" on TV.

While singing the theme song for the James Bond action thriller,
"Thunderball" in 1965, Tom Jones allegedly fainted in the recording booth 
 after singing the song's  final high note.  "I closed my eyes and held the note
for so long when I opened my eyes the room was spinning," he said.
And no wonder!  His powerful baritone voice made this song one
of the most popular movie themes of all time!
