‘For a lot of years, I’ve answered a lot of questions, but have never told my story before.’ Across six decades, Sir Tom Jones has maintained a vital career in a risky, unstable business notorious for the short lives of its artists. With a drive that comes from nothing but the love for what he does, he breaks through and then wrestles with the vagaries of the music industry, the nature of success and its inevitable consequences. Having recorded an expansive body of work and performed with fellow artists from across the spectrum and across every popular music genre, from rock, pop and dance to country, blues and soul, the one constant throughout has been his unique musical gifts and unmistakable voice. But how did a boy from a Welsh coal-mining family attain success across the globe? And how has he survived the twists and turns of fame and fortune to not only stay exciting, but actually become more credible and interesting with age? In this, his first ever autobiography, Tom revisits his past and tells the tale of his journey from wartime Pontypridd to LA and beyond. He reveals the stories behind the ups and downs of his fascinating and remarkable life, from the early heydays to the subsequent fallow years to his later period of artistic renaissance. It’s the story nobody else knows or understands, told by the man who lived it, and written the only way he knows how: simply and from the heart. Raw, honest, funny and powerful, this is a memoir like no other from one of the world’s greatest ever singing talents. This is Tom Jones and Over the Top and Back is his story. Read more…

«سالهای زیادی است که به سؤالات زیادی پاسخ دادهام، اما قبلاً هرگز داستانم را نگفتهام». در طول شش دهه، سر تام جونز حرفه ای حیاتی را در یک تجارت پرمخاطره و ناپایدار که به خاطر زندگی کوتاه هنرمندانش بدنام است، حفظ کرده است. او با انگیزه ای که از چیزی جز عشق به کاری که انجام می دهد سرچشمه نمی گیرد و سپس با هوس های صنعت موسیقی، ماهیت موفقیت و اجتناب ناپذیر آن دست و پنجه نرم می کند عواقب. پس از ضبط مجموعه وسیعی از آثار و اجرا با هنرمندان دیگر از سراسر طیف و در همه ژانرهای موسیقی محبوب، از راک، پاپ و دنس گرفته تا کانتری، بلوز و سول، موهبت های موسیقی منحصر به فرد و صدای بی نظیر او ثابت بوده است. اما چگونه پسری از یک خانواده معدن زغال سنگ ولز در سراسر جهان به موفقیت دست یافت؟ و چگونه او از پیچ و خم های شهرت و ثروت جان سالم به در برده تا نه تنها هیجان انگیز بماند، بلکه در واقع با افزایش سن معتبرتر و جالب تر شود؟ در این اولین زندگی نامه خود، تام گذشته خود را مرور می کند و داستان سفر خود از Pontypridd زمان جنگ به LA و فراتر از آن را بیان می کند. او داستان های پشت پرفراز و نشیب زندگی جذاب و چشمگیر خود را، از اوایل دوران شکوفایی تا سال های آیش بعدی تا دوره بعدی رنسانس هنری خود، فاش می کند. این داستانی است که هیچ کس دیگری نمیداند یا نمیفهمد، توسط مردی که آن را زندگی کرده است، روایت میشود و تنها راهی را که میداند نوشته است: ساده و از صمیم قلب. خام، صادق، خندهدار و قدرتمند، این خاطرات یکی از بزرگترین استعدادهای خوانندگی جهان است. این تام جونز است و بر فراز بالا و پشت سر داستان اوست. بیشتر بخوانید…
