Tom Jones: King Of Reinvention

To celebrate Sir Tom鈥檚 80th Birthday, Cerys Matthews plays his biggest hits and traces the moments where his career evolved.

Sir Tom Jones鈥� powerhouse vocals have been recognised in households across Wales since the 1960鈥檚, yet what they have been singing has not always been the same. From pop to rock, country to EDM, Tom has continuously reinvented his musical style to stay in the charts over the last 55 years.

Including the 1966 decision to turn from pop singer to crooner for 鈥楪reen, Green Grass of Home鈥�, a surprise US country mega hit in 1977 with 鈥楽ay You鈥檒l Stay Until Tomorrow鈥�, his explosive return in 1999 with Reload and his latest resurgence as a judge on The Voice, Tom has proved for over half a century that he can turn his hand to any genre, style or sound.

Narrated by Cerys Matthews, listeners will hear Tom Jones' biggest hits, fan stories and archive interviews from the last six decades that fuse together to celebrate Tom Jones as the King of Reinvention.

Special guests include Dame Shirley Bassey, Tony Blackburn, James Dean Bradfield, Huw Stephens, Craig Charles and Jude Rogers.
