i keep hearing it on tv too. even when its just in teh background and i'm not watching it... i'm usually pretty decent at ignoring commercials in the backgorund, esp wehn someone else is watching it. but pussycat just keeps running through my head.
I love Tom Jones! I got hell from a couple of friends just the other night for putting him on the juke box at the pub.
The guy has a powerful voice + more energy than most guys 1/2 his age; he's a survivor who's been going since 60's though there have been lean years. He can do standards, soul, country, rock n' roll, the biz. The 1st big hit "It's not unusual" has Jimmy Page of Led Zep fame doing guitar solo! Latest album with keyboard maestro Jools Holland + is pretty good.
Tom has amazing vocal talent, and uses what he can do as well as anyone. He has managed to aquire a cheese image, but has done some quality work, and is a consummate live performer. My own personal fave Tom Jones song was from his TV variety show in the late 60s. He and Janis Joplin performed Raise Your Hand together, I'm sure you all recall seeing that one!hahaha
