Wann immer ich mich positiver stimmen will, höre ich gerne die Lieder von Tom Jones. Sie begleiten mich seit Jahrzehnten.

Sein Duett mit einem Sänger bei The UK Voice, Mike Duet, vermittelt seine unverbrüchliche Lust am Singen. Er freut sich mit dem Nach-Sänger über das gemeinsame Lied, das zu Herzen geht.

Tom Jones ist kein Intellektueller, er kommt aus ganz einfachen Verhältnissen, war früh schon Vater, und hat mit dieser Biografie etwas wirklich Bewegendes geschaffen.

Ich habe sie sehr gerne gehört und bin ihm auf seinem Weg in Gedanken gefolgt, immer volle Kanne Leben und Lust an Allem, was er unternahm.

I was never a big fan of singer Tom Jones but I picked up his autobiography because I am interested in the music and entertainment industry and his fame covers some very interesting years. Overall the book is a light-hearted read about how an unpolished Welsh lad became the famous Sir Tom Jones. He is very frank about the various directions that his career has taken, both the good and the bad.

There is plenty of name dropping along the way, from his friendships with both Elvis and Frank Sinatra, and includes many other entertainment icons being mentioned at some point. I was however, a little disappointed in the fact that Sir Tom has held back a lot about his personal life. There is no mention of his illegitimate son nor his long involvement with Mary Wilson of the Supremes or his declaration proudly made at the height of his fame that he had slept with over 250 women. He only devotes one line to his alleged affairs: “The road will set temptations in front of you that are hard to resist”. Instead, he writes lovingly of his long marriage to childhood sweetheart, Linda, painting a picture of steadfast harmony.

I listened to Over the Top and Back as an audio version read by Jonathan Pryce in a charming, boyish manner and although the celebrity anecdotes and his career ups and downs were interesting, I never felt like I got to see the real person behind the sexy facade and the powerful voice.

What I got from this absorbing autobiography is that Tom Jones had the hunger and talent to achieve stardom, has thoroughly enjoyed it, but has never become comfortable with success or taken it for granted. “In some respects, you’re a ball of determination, entirely resolute; and in other ways, you’re just a leaf for the wind.”

The things that really seem to matter are the music and his family. Since his songs have always been written by other people he often doesn’t seem to be sure where they fit in – pop, rock, novelty, or something else. Jones gives credit to songwriters and musicians he’s worked with – fully aware none of it was a solo effort. I only have Jones’ past three albums – the ones produced by Ethan Johns, the music he “was born to do.” His longevity is remarkable, his love for the music admirable.… (altro)

From his birth in Wales to his appearances in Las Vegas, Tom Jones has endured the changing musical times. He has recorded an expansive body of work and has performed with fellow artists across every popular music genre.
The book has many behind the scenes stories. Like the time Tom and Elvis ended up in a bathroom. (you'll have to read the book to find out what happened.)
I won this book on Goodreads.
