Tom Jones, real name Thomas Jones Woodward OBE (born 7 June 1940), is a Welsh singer whose career has spanned five-and-a-half decades since his emergence as a vocalist in the mid-1960s, with a string of top hits, regular touring, appearances in Las Vegas (1967–2011), and career comebacks.[1] Jones's powerful voice has been described as a "full-throated, robust baritone".[2] His performing range has included pop, R&B, show tunes, country, dance, soul, indie, folk, disco and gospel.
Jones has thirty-six Top 40 hits in the United Kingdom, twenty-two in Canada, and nineteen in the United States, including "It's Not Unusual", "What's New Pussycat", "Delilah", "Green, Green Grass of Home", "She's a Lady", "Kiss", and "Sex Bomb".[3] Jones received a Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 1966, an MTV Video Music Award in 1989, and two Brit Awards: Best British Male in 2000 and the Outstanding Contribution to Music award in 2003. Jones was awarded an OBE in 1999 and in 2006 he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for services to music.
As of 2010, during the Nielsen Soundscan era (which tracks sales from 1991) Tom Jones has sold 6.5 million albums in United States.[4]
