THE STONES MEET TOM JONES AT FLAMINGO HOTEL

Today, The Stones & The Grandma have enjoyed a great show at Flamingo Hotel. Tom Jones has sung especially for them in a private session and the family is still recovering themselves from all the emotions of this event.

Thomas John Woodward (born 7 June 1940), known professionally as Tom Jones, is a Welsh singer.

His career began with a string of top-ten hits in the mid-1960s. He has toured regularly, with appearances in Las Vegas (1967–2011). Jones's voice has been described by Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic as a full-throated, robust baritone.

His performing range has included pop, R&B, show tunes, country, dance, soul and gospel. In 2008, the New York Times called Jones a musical shape shifter, who could slide from soulful rasp to pop croon, with a voice as husky as it was pretty.

Jones has sold over 100 million records, with 36 Top 40 hits in the UK and 19 in the US, including It's Not Unusual, What's New Pussycat, the theme song for the 1965 James Bond film Thunderball, Green, Green Grass of Home, Delilah, She's a Lady, Kiss and Sex Bomb.

Jones has also occasionally dabbled in acting, first making his acting debut playing the lead role in the 1979 television film Pleasure Cove. He also appeared as himself in Tim Burton's 1996 film Mars Attacks!.

In 1970 he received a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor-Television Series Musical or Comedy nomination for hosting the television series This Is Tom Jones. 

In 2012, he played his first dramatic acting role in an episode of Playhouse Presents.

Jones received a Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 1966, an MTV Video Music Award in 1989, as well as two Brit Awards: Best British Male in 2000 and the Outstanding Contribution to Music award in 2003.

Jones was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1998 and knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for services to music in 2005.

Jones experienced a resurgence in notability in the 2010s due to his coaching role on the television talent show The Voice UK from 2012 with the exception of 2016.

In 1967, Jones performed in Las Vegas for the first time, at the Flamingo. His performances and style of dress became part of his stage act, and increasingly featured his open, half-unbuttoned shirts and tight trousers. He soon chose to record less, instead concentrating on his lucrative club performances.

Jones and his idol Elvis Presley met in 1965 at the Paramount film stage, when Elvis was filming Paradise, Hawaiian Style. They became good friends, spending more and more time together in Las Vegas and duetting until the early hours at Presley's private suite. The friendship endured until Presley's death in 1977. Jones's guitarist between 1969 and 1974 was Big Jim Sullivan, who also met and formed a friendship with Presley.

Jones played in Las Vegas at least one week each year until 2011.

Time is my enemy.
Time will catch up with me vocally.
And I dread that. I dread to think about life without singing.
