Product Description

The extraordinary life story of one of the greatest entertainers in the world. Tom Jones grew up in a tiny South Wales mining village and shot to superstardom with hits such as 'It's Not Unusual' and 'Delilah'. Now a millionaire living in Los Angeles, Tom Jones has maintained his huge popularity over four decades, culminating in his new status as an icon of twenty-first century cool and winner of the coveted Brit Award for Best Male Vocalist in 2000. Robin Eggar has talked to friends, family, business associates, and to Tom himself, and builds a rounded portrait of a pop legend, the sixtysomething sex symbol with a fantastic voice whose life is still completely dedicated to singing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thouroughly entertaining and informative, 6 Dec 2000

Paula Lees "ladybrum" (Birmingham, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Tom Jones: The Biography (Hardcover)

All you could possibly want to know about Tom Jones and more! A must for all fans of his. Even my husband enjoyed reading this biography and he's not even a fan! Younger generations should read this to find about more about the man and his music, which is enjoying a serious comeback at the moment.

5.0 out of 5 stars A TJ fan 'must read', 30 Jun 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Tom Jones: The Biography (Hardcover)

I am thoroughly enjoying this book. It is just the right blend of facts, good writing, and juicy snippets about Tommy's sex life (let's face it - many female fans want to know!). Eggar has done an outstanding job here. Highly recommended.

Nina Bell "niniacampb" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tom Jones: The Biography (Hardcover)

This book turned Tom Jones from just another pop star into a real person for me. I hadn't read much about him before, but this could be a novel about a boy that starts off poor and makes it to the top - only all the better for being true.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely the best biography of Tom Jones yet.
I only discovered I loved Tom Jones in the past three years and it was very hard to get any information about him. Robin Eggar's book is well balanced and well written. Read more
