Listen Now! Sir Tom Jones “In The Company Of” Colin Murray On BBC Radio 1 Monday Night
Monday, October 27th, 2008We must apologize for not posting the Kris Kristofferson song Why Me? that Tom discusses in this interview. The rest of the 40+ minutes is all there and, in truth, you probably know that song and, if you don’t, you probably won’t miss it. Apologies.
Here, in a very funny interview, Tom discusses a wide range of things. You’ll hear about the etiquette of addressing a Knight of the Realm, Thomas John Woodward, Sinatra, that great laugh, Springsteen, Seasons, how he will take “any opportunity” to sing, Elvis, Why Me? the person with whom he’d like to work, The Hitter, The Simpsons, a sense of humor, It’s Not Unusual accompanied by the ukulele and, for the finale, Colin Murray plays Tom’s choice of any song in the world. (Guess what it is?)
Part 1 • Part 2 • Seasons • Part 3 • Part 4 • The Hitter • Part 5 • Great Balls of Fire
AND, this just in from the women’s section of the Times online: “‘Nine times out of ten, when I put the word out that I want songs, the stuff I get delivered is about sex,’ complains Tom Jones. Well, he started it.”
