Since you know a lot more about Tom Jones than I do, who is the dapper old black gentleman with the hat and cane in Tom's video of Black Betty?

Thanks!

I used to watch Barney all the time with my grandchildren, and I never heard him singing Black Betty. Is this a joke??? I have to say Leadbelly's version is more soulful than Tom's.

I saw that comment about Kara DioGuardi earlier today on her bio and thought she must have written something on Tom’s CD. You ladies don’t miss a thing!

This is fun! SusannePDX is correct. You always make it interesting, even when there’s nothing happening in the Tom Jones world.
