SIR TOM JONES TURNS 83!

Sir Thomas Jones Woodward a/k/a Sir Tom Jones, a Welsh singer and heartthrob who had a run of hits in the 1960s, including"It's Not Unusual," the theme song for the James Bond film Thunderball (1965), "Green, Green Grass of Home," "Delilah," "She's a Lady," "Sex Bomb", and a cover of Prince's "Kiss," was headlining at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino (Hollywood, Florida), on Friday, May 12, 2023.
▫️
In the 1968 hit, DELILAH, Jones croons about the killing of a woman who’s found cheating with another man. Believe it or not, it reached No. 1 in the charts of several countries, including Germany and Switzerland. In the UK, it reached No 2 in March 1968 and was the sixth-best selling single of that year, while over here in the US, Billboard records its highest position at No. 15.

The woke are going to hate this one ….

“I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window
I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind
She was my woman
As she deceived me, I watched and went out of my mind
My, my, my, Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah
I could see, that girl was no good for me
But I was lost like a slave that no man could free
At break of day when that man drove away, I was waiting
I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door
She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more
My, my, my, Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah
So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me Delilah, I just couldn’t take anymore
She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more
My, my, my, Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah
So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn’t take anymore
Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn’t take anymore”

For a guy who turns 83, tomorrow — Wed., June 7 — he’s still killing it!
