International Tom Jones Week Part 1

August 17, 2008 · 2 Comments

Not enough people celebrate International Tom Jones Week, the one week of the year when the wobbly Welsh warbler receives his proper due as the Greatest Singer Of The 20th Century And Beyond. But we here at GHMI feel it only fit and proper to acknowledge his genius.

Not many folks can take an ordinary song, and with the help of a special guest, some glitz, glamour and an oompah band, make it something so extraordinary. Well, TJ is that man.

To begin International Tom Jones Week, we look no further than that other legend, Sir Donny Osmond for the glitz and glamour. Marvel at how they take a piece of pap like ‘Boy From New York City‘, and turn it into a glistening jewel, replete with neat name change to ensure the homosexualists steer clear.

Something The Manhattan Transfer should have thought about before foisting their inferior version upon us.

Come back soon, when Thomas the Jones shows the namby pamby boogieteers, Status Quo, just how to rock.
