Connery Tribute: No TJ On the Preview But The Show Looks Terrific Anyway
Tuesday, June 20th, 2006
Check out the USA Network’s preview of the AFI tribute to Sean Connery. Tom isn’t on the brief teaser, but is on the full-length show to be broadcast tonight, June 21, 9 p.m. on USA and again at midnight June 22.
Part of what’s in store on the broadcast was described in the June 9 Hollywood Reporter: “…the Edinburgh-born Connery, accompanied by his wife, Micheline, was treated to high-kicking Highland babes in short kilts, deafening bagpipes and a virile rendition of the theme from Thunderball by Welsh crooner* Tom Jones.”
*Please, please stop calling him a “crooner.” He is anything but.

Really, can you imagine a crooner singing Thunderball?

Or a “crooner” singing You Can Leave Your Hat on?????!!!!! A crooner is Johnny Mathis, Andy Williams, Frank Sinatra, Michael Buble, Dean Martin, Perry Como, etc……………..
