Tom Jones is one of the most successful artists of all time. The megastar vocalist was born in 1940 in a mining town in Wales, and worked all kinds of jobs to support his young family until he had his greatest success as a singer around the local pub scene. His breakthrough came when he signed to record label Decca in London in the early 1960s. Meanwhile, the career of the man with the deep baritone has spanned over six decades, during which he explored many genres, but always maintained a focus on delivering expressive vocals and selecting well-crafted songs. He has recorded classics such as It's Not Unusual, Delilah, What's New Pussycat? and Sex Bomb, and also emerged as the ideal choice as a coach on The Voice UK. Despite being over 80 years old, Jones' star just keeps on rising with time: his album Surrounded By Time from 2021 reached number one in the United Kingdom, making him the oldest male artist ever to do so, surpassing Bob Dylan.
