Tom Jones: An Extraordinary Life

The owner of one of the most recognizable faces - not to mention voices - in the entertainment business, Sir Tom Jones is the definition of a national treasure. It has been over fifty years since Jones's breakthrough single 'It's Not Unusual' reached Number One in the UK, but success wasn't always assured for the Welsh entertainer. Having overcome childhood tuberculosis, Tom Jones married his teenage girlfriend at the age of sixteen. With a young family to support, it seemed far more likely that a career as a vacuum salesman was beckoning. Bestselling biographer Gwen Russell charts Jones's journey from young, unsigned local singer to one of Britain's best-loved entertainers.
