Tom Jones' version was actually the first recording of the song, released in 1965. It had been written for, and offered to, Sandie Shaw, a British (neither African, in any sense of the word, nor American) singer who, upon hearing Jones' version, intended merely as a demo, declined and recommended that Jones release it himself.
It was later covered by The Supremes and later by Florence Ballard, a former member of the Supremes, for her solo debut album. Both of these were released much later than they were recorded, but neither recording predated Tom Jones' initial release.
