Tom Jones grew up in Wales, the son of a miner. He learned to sing in the church choir and in the pub. As a singer of the beat group Tommy Scott & The Senators he was discovered by producer Joe Meek, but Jones only successes achieved by means of manager Gordon Mills. His robust voice and good looks brought millions of women into raptures and songs like Green Green Grass Of Home and What's New Pussycat
