| Summary |
The long-awaited autobiography of legendary singer Tom Jones, following six decades of unparalleled experiences in the spotlight to coincide with his 75th birthday. Still recording and touring today, Jones continues to be admired by his fellow musicians and to draw an ardent and ecstatic fanbase that crosses ages and gender. Born the son of a coal miner in Wales, Jones is still married to his childhood sweetheart, Linda - whom he married when they were both 16 - whose agoraphobia has kept their home life out of the spotlight for decades. Honestly told, with the rich and distinctive storytelling that has made him so popular, Jones' memoir reveals the creative and emotional life of the only musician said to rival Elvis's crown.
