RIP Tom Jones

Looks like a long successful run has come to an end for Tom.

My mother loved Tom in the early 70's and had many of his LP's playing in the house.

He sure had all the soul/presence of any of the big names that were around during the hey day.

What a voice!

My dad's taste was more like your parents. Smooth vocals, especially Andy Williams. The great thing about Andy Williams is that he had Henry Mancini songs offered to him first. I adore "Moon River", "Days Of Wine And Roses", and "Can't Get Used To Losing You". The irony is that my mom was born and grew up in the city (Sacramento), my dad on a farm in South Dakota (his father was a sharecrop farmer). Go figure!

Guess my taste in music started forming at an early age! I heard that Ring Of Fire album hundreds of times before I entered High School.
