Sings She's A Lady - TOM JONES***

She's A Lady/Do What You Gotta Do/In Dreams/Nothing Rhymed/Til I Can't Take It Anymore/Resurrection Shuffle/Puppet Man/Its Up To The Woman/Ebb Tide/(I Ain't No) One Night Only Love Maker/You're My World

Dynamic Welsh vocalist Tom Jones was at the peak of his international popularity with the release of She’s A Lady, which is heavily reliant on covers of other artist hits. The title track reached No. 2 in the US and No. 13 in the UK. (US:17 UK:9)

“Tom Jones sings She's A Lady which features his inspiring version of Paul Anka's title song as well as gorgeous interpretations of Ebb Tide and In Dreams. If you want to hear Tom Jones at his soulful, rocking best, then look no further than this album.”

She’s A Lady features a good mix of original compositions like Till I Can't It No More along with some of Tom’s better re-makes, particularly his version of Roy Orbison's In Dreams. The album moves between adult contemporary, bluesy soul, mild country tinged pop and also manages to squeeze in some uptempo rock oriented material as well, including Jones take on the Fifth Dimension's Puppet Man, and of course the title track, which many people don't realize was Tom’s best selling single in the US.”

“A past master at performing well, particularly handling a Roy Orbison classic, both fluently and with feeling, and well within his amazing vocal range. One of the best singers Britain has ever produced.”

She's A Lady may have an uneven selection of songs, but the title track was Tom Jones' biggest US hit and its follow-up Puppet Man was nearly as good. Plus, Jones' robust performances keeps things moving throughout the course of the album.”
