Sir Tom was definitely known for his dancing along with his magnificent voice, and he was actually rather subdued here.

Hey Mom, I understand your daughter is too young to know Paul Anka but good on you for pointing out SHE'S A LADY was an Anka penned tune.Paul Albert Anka is a Canadian-American singer, songwriter and actor. He is best known for his signature hit songs including "Diana", "Lonely Boy", "Put Your Head on My Shoulder", and "(You're) Having My Baby". Anka also wrote the theme for The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson; one of Tom Jones' biggest hits, "She's a Lady"; and the English lyrics for Frank Sinatra's signature song "My Way". Years before Donny Osmond, Anka was the original singer/songwriter of PUPPY LOVE. A song he wrote about his crush on Annette Funicello.

You girls are really bringing back memories this weekend (its Sunday here in AUS) my mate and I took our wives to see Tom Jones in concert when he was in Australia many years ago and he was certainly a big hit with the ladies who used to throw their underwear and bras at him on stage imagine my surprise when my mate chucked a pair of his grandma's xxxl bloomers at him ,Tom took it in good stead and wiped his brow on them and threw them back , I believe my mate still has them to this day .

The late 60s and 70s was the era of "Free Love", 'do your own thing', first birth control, etc. TV was very conservative but live audiences loved him. Yes, he was well known as being an overtly sexual performer with a laugh and a wink, sexy but fun. He was a headliner in Las Vegas for many years and a sex symbol of the times. He still performs to sold out audiences in Europe and the US/Canada at 82 but the dance moves have been retired. LOL The voice is as strong and powerful as ever as he sings old hits and new, contemporary songs of meaning.

Thanks for another entertaining reaction ! .. Although totally different musically, this song is quite similar in its lyrical theme to Charlie Rich's big country crossover hit, "Behind Closed Doors" .. In that song, Charlie describes how his woman is the perfect lady in public, but in private she is not quite so reserved .. It's quite charming and beautifully sung, if you ever want to give it a listen.

Even tho this was written by Paul Anka, it could easily have been about Tom's wife. She put up with a lot from him in the way of his infidelties. ""Tom has spoken candidly about his extramarital affairs --- In a Sunday Times interview in 2015, Tom Jones revealed that his wife Linda found out about his affair with the former Miss World winner and furiously lashed out at him. "I stood there and took it," he stated. "She chinned me. She punched and shouted."

I understand that Sir Tom trained in opera before he made it big. If so, that would explain his powerful voice that he integrated into a non-opera format. On another subject, it sounds like said Elvis the Pelvis was drafted to put his pelvis under wraps until his popularity had wanted. I'm 60 and hadn't heard or thought of that before. Interesting.

Bear in my the whole “Elvis the Pelvis” controversy was more late 50’s early 60’s . By 1971 the sexual revolution was in full swing and things were way looser. If you can react to the Tom Jone song , Treat her Right from the This is Tom Jones TV show, he goes all out with the moves and kissing random audience members during the performance. The ladies in the audience went wild! You would get a kick out of that performance!😂

Obviously people have always loved sex before, during and since 1971. It was just television execs back in those days who were trying their best to downplay it and keep things "clean" because they were worried about puritanical backlash affecting their ratings. Songs about sex have always been around, they just had to dance around things to avoid being too overt or explicit with the lyrics back then. Unlike nowadays when you can be as explicit as you like and no one bats an eye.

Yes Paul Anka wrote it. He and Tom were good friends. But, Anka did not write this about just any lady. This was written specifically for Tom and it is about Tom’s wife, Linda. Ironically, years later, after Tom was given his Knighthood, his wife officially became a lady-Lady Melinda. Here’s a better quality version of the song performed about 25 years after the version you used: kzitem.info/news/bejne/0ZBjzGWabmOQp3o

I am enjoying your reactions. Nothing prim and proper about the 60s and 70s. Your exploration of Kate Bush’s early music should already have prepared you for that. Extremely sensual and sexual woman in her song writing; someone prepared to sing about anything and everything. I think the need to have happy endings in songs and films is more an American thing than it is here in the UK/Europe so I was not surprised you struggled with seeing the not so nice outcome in Delilah.
