About this listen

In a career that has spanned six decades, Sir Tom Jones has performed with almost every major recording artist, from Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis and Sinatra to Robbie Williams, Van Morrison and Jessie J, across every imaginable genre, from rock and pop to country, blues and soul. The one constant throughout has been his unique musical gift and unmistakable voice.

In this, his first ever autobiography, Tom will revisit his past, both personal and professional, exploring the twists of fate that took a boy from a poor Welsh coal-mining family to global celebrity status.

He will chart the stories behind the hits as well as the ups and downs of his professional life - from the heyday in Las Vegas and subsequent fallow years in the 1980s to his renaissance and comeback thanks to the direction and management of his son, Mark - as well as shedding a light on the life he has led behind the cameras and the stage.

This was a totally fabulous listen that i would recommend to anyone! (even if your not an avid fan) It was a believable raw biography! So very interesting! Who ever chose the narrator too should have 5 stars! He sounds just like Tom Jones!.It is very sad to hear his wife died after the book! I loved it so much I got tickets to see him in June :-)

Totally brilliant!

I really enjoyed this recording. I'm glad I chose the audiobook instead of the printed book. Jonathan Pryce's delivery is excellent; I felt like I was listening to the voice of Sir Tom Jones. This is an inspirational autobiography. Just absolutely wonderful!

A who’s who of the music industry at the time. And an artist of talent and longevity. And it seems, a decent man.

A testament to the time

As a singer myself it was amazing to hear how Sir Tom became the man and performer he is today. It proves that hard work can pay off and that is inspiring in itself. From working in a factory to becoming a legend in the music industry via many twists and turns. Jonathan Pryce reads brilliantly and made me laugh out loud and even shed the odd tear fabulous personable performance. I don't write many reviews but I must say this is a brilliant audio book. Thank you John Norcott
