34-year-old Tom Jones’ second son Jonathan inherited his famous father’s voice and brooding looks. “Not having a father growing up was tough.

Tom Jones is one of the most popular vocalists of his generation and currently acts as a judge on “The Voice UK,” where he mentors young singers. Ironically, he has so far refused to meet his second son, who was born as a result of a three-day fling with a supermodel.

Tom Jones was born Thomas John Woodward in Pontypridd, Wales, on June 7, 1940. He is widely regarded as one of the best vocalists to come from the British Invasion.

His discography is full of multiple top-charting songs in different genres, selling more than 100 million records worldwide. Despite his success in the musical sphere, the legendary Welshman often comes under fire for his love life and romantic exploits.

EARLY CAREER

Jones started his musical career singing under the moniker Tommy Scott with a Welsh beat group called “The Senators.”

In 1964, he was discovered by producer Peter Sullivan while performing in a club. Sullivan sent him to manager Phil Solomon. His partnership with Solomon did not last long, and Jones returned to Wales to sing in local clubs.

Jones was performing in a nightclub when former “Viscounts” singer Gordon Mills, who had become an artist manager, saw him. Mills signed the singer and came up with “Tom Jones” as his music name.

He also helped Jones produce his first album “Decca” which had the single “Chills and Fever.” Jones released “It’s Not Unusual” in early 1965, and it became a number one hit in the UK and a Top Ten hit in the US.

This was followed by hits like “Once Upon a Time,” “Little Lonely One,” and “With These Hands.” Mills also landed some film themes for Jones to record, including the Top Ten hit “What’s New Pussycat?” in June and “Thunderball” in December 1965.

Throughout the mid-60s, Jones sang in almost every form of popular music ranging from pop to rock and show tunes. He also did country, dance, techno, and more.

His vocal style, a full-throated, robust baritone with minimal regard for nuance or subtlety, was a swaggering constant during that period.
