A Tribute to Tom Jones

One of Tom Jones' best songs is "She's a Lady." It's not only catchy, but the lyrics I think are also very creative and true. Tom Jones is talking about how this girl of his is a "lady." She's the kind of woman that all guys want. You can take her out for a fancy dinner and yet you can love her at the same time. She's not prude, but proud. She's a natural beauty.



Tom Jones has one of those voices that seems like every note is effortless. When you listen to him sing and then try to sing the notes yourself, you find that the notes are way higher, or are held out to long, or something. Tom Jones voice is like a baritone in a tenor range. He's a great singer, and will be remembered for many great songs.

Not only does he perform upbeat songs, but many of his songs are pop ballads. One song is called "I Who Have Nothing." The song is about pure love- and he's saying that this guy who seems to have everything does not have the love that he does.



When Tom Jones sings, it seems like every note is his last one. Every note is given appropriate emphasis, and he often graces over notes with such ease and fluidity. The only thing that I wish was different about Tom Jones is his range. You see, I am a baritone myself, and it is really frustrating when I can't sing along with Tom Jones. His songs are so great and captivating that I just want to sing along. Unfortunately, I often have to drop the octave and it doesn't sound very good at all. As much as I enjoy being a baritone, I would appreciate becoming a tenor for the soul purpose of being able to sing along with Tom Jones.
