Tom Jones: Delilah
[purchase]
We all know that Samson was a mighty good man, strongest in his day - until Delilah came along and clipped his wig. In 1968, this song reached #2 in the BBC charts, firmly ensconcing Jones as a nonpareil stud muffin hitmaker. Reggie Dwight sings on the chorus, his voice was a bit more front and center on the Elton John records he later worked on. Why, why, why, Delilah?
I had no idea that Elton sang with Tom Jones. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteTom is quite a showman.
I love Tom Jones - high kitsch appeal there. If there was a need for vocals during a mid-60s London recording session, Elton usually got the call, he was another Jimmy Page that way.
