One of the most popular vocalists to emerge from the British invasion, tom Jones has sung nearly every for of popular music, so be it pop, rock, show tunes, country, dance, techno-everything. He is one of those musicians who can dance to their own tunes. One of the most powerful & influential singers of the decade, his main fans includes a large number of female fans throwing underwear's at the stage.

There are hardly any tickets available on the day of his concerts as sometimes the whole town comes to get a glimpse of their favourite artist. The rush is truly unbelievable.

The musical journey for Tom Jones started in the year 1963 when he started singing & performing professionally. In 1964 he recorded some solo tracks, which made him see success stepping at his doors. Here started the making of a great musician who was god gifted in his love for music. A young, raw, rash personality suited his kind of music & he set out to achieve something substantial.

Jones's faced a downfall in his recording career in the seventies and eighties even though he continued touring in most of the major towns successfully. Mark became his manager in 1987, and took charge of his flagging career which led to a change of image which has started attracting audiences of all the ages.His recordings started getting noticed in 1987 with his first major hit single in over a decade, "A Boy From Nowhere'", which was taken from the musical Matador. After releasing the hit musical single he started preferring younger generation of musicians. His recordings included:

Jones' popularity started to slip somewhat by the middle-end of 1966, causing Mills, his manager, to redesign the singer's image into a more respectable one giving him a more mature tuxedoed crooner look. Jones also began to sing material that appealed to a broad audience, like the country songs "Green, Green Grass of Home" and "Detroit City." The strategy worked and he returned to the top of the charts in the U.K. and began hitting the Top 40 again in the U.S. For the remainder of the '60s, he scored a consistent string of hits in both Britain and America.

Jones' next image makeover came in 1988, when he sang Prince's "Kiss" with the electronic dance outfit, the Art of Noise. The single became a Top Ten hit in the U.K. and reached the American Top 40, which led to a successful concert tour and a part in a recording of Dylan Thomas' voice play, Under Milk Wood. A great deal changed since then & Jones not only received accolades for his performances as a perfect vocalist but also for his impromptu acts. He became the hero for many & gave a glimpse of the lifestyle everyone wanted. A very huge fan following, Tim Jones is still one of the most popular musicians around. He somehow manages to weave a magical ring around his listener's every time he comes on the stage. Thus if you are an avid country music lover you need to cash on the opportunity by purchasing the tickets to his concerts when they are still available. Don't waste time hurry, for tickets are always in a limited supply.
