In an intimate and heartfelt interview, Britain’s biggest voice, Sir Tom Jones, reflects on his extraordinary life and stellar career in song.
From his proud working-class roots in the Welsh valleys to music’s most glittering stages and the world’s television sets, Tom’s remarkable journey spans more than 80 years – and it’s still going strong. But it has not always been easy, and it has required a constant balancing act between fame and fortune, family and staying true to the gift he was born with.
