Tom Jones's musical career spans almost 50 years with 32 studio albums and collaborations with a diverse set of artists including Wyclef Jean, Bono and The Edge, Pavarotti, Van Morrison, and avant-garde techno group Art of Noise. He has won numerous music awards and was recently knighted by Her Majesty the Queen of England. His cultural icon status has been confirmed with appearances as himself in an episode of The Simpsons, Tim Burton's movie Mars Attacks!, Angelica Houston's directorial debut Agnes Brown, and on The Ed Sullivan Show. Even if you don't recognize his name, his hits "It's Not Unusual (to be loved by you)," and "What's New Pussycat" are solidly entrenched in the pop canon. His other chart-toppers include "Delilah," a cover of Prince's "Kiss," and "A Boy from Nowhere."
