Who is Sir Tom Jones? 5 incredible facts about the pop legend and Voice UK judge

3. He credits Sandie Shaw with his big break


Struggling to get into the music industry, Sir Tom had been recording a lot of demos for established artists.

But he struck lucky when he was asked to record a demo of It’s Not Unusual for Sandie Shaw.

He told The Telegraph: “I suppose I must have sounded strong on it – I wish I still had the demo, but unfortunately I’ve lost it. Anyway, when Sandie Shaw heard the demo, she said, ‘Whoever is singing this song, it’s his; I could never sing it like that’. God bless her! Because if she’d taken it, things might never have happened.”
