Tom Jones all but invented saucy power pop back before the sixties even started to swing when his second single "It's Not Unusual" rocketed up the UK charts in 1965. After that initial triumph the singer never looked back, tying his hair back with a thin black ribbon and putting some rather expressive body English into his stage moves, which assured that the stage floor would be routinely pelted with various undergarments pitched by enthusiastic fans. Almost four decades later both Jones and his audience are no less fervent as Wales' second-most famous export runs through his extensive and varied songbook, still imbuing his old chestnuts like "What's New Pussycat?" and "Delilah" with a sense of naughty fun and irony. But Jones is at his best while giving the latest generation of rockers a run for their money, as he pairs up with the likes of Wyclef Jean, the Sterophonics, Art of Noise, the Cardigans, and Mousse T; as he overhauls staid tired standards like "Mama Told Me (Not To Come)" or "Baby It's Cold Outside" with his arch humor and gutsy delivery. Prince's "Kiss" crackles with an inner light that even the great Minneapolis savant didn’t intend, while his duet with Portishead is as cold and disturbing as a grave. A must have album. --Jaan Uhelszki

Mr. Tom Jones' best voal performances are all contained within. I love his standards and his later songs. I specially like "Sex Bomb." This is an excellent collection of his singles and collaborations.

2009-01-06 -- 5/5:: TJ Rocks!!
He had me at "It's Not Unusual" and yup, I thought he was Black! Not only was he NOT Black,he's from bloody Wales. Was there ever (Dusty Springfield notwithstanding)a better example that Soul is Soul and it ranscends race?

2008-10-04 -- 5/5:: Excellent!
I was not sure I would like every song, but I love every one, except Green Grass of Home. Why did he have to spoil this excellent CD with a song that is on many others. Outside that this CD will get you non stop dancing. If you are a Tom Jones fan, this will not disappoint. If you are not a Tom Jones fan and want to give it a try, get this CD.
