500 Questions
Was Tom Jones originally Englebert Humperdinck?
Asked by Wiki User
Engelbert Humperdinck, the singer, whose real name is Arnold George Dorsey, was originally not believed to have written or composed any songs for Tom Jones, whose own real name is Thomas Jones Woodward. They were often compared to each other, however; a large part of this might have had to do with the facts that both were proteges of British music producer and impressario Gordon Mills and that both recorded on the same record label, the Parrot Records label, in the earliest phases of their respective careers.
THE ABOVE ANSWER IS, IN FACT, FALSE.
Engelbert Humperdinck wrote the song "This and That" which Tom Jones recorded in his early career.
The last person who answered this question did so without actually knowing the facts, yet answered the question anyway.
What confuses many people about this question was that Mr. Humperdinck, when he wrote and composed "This And That" for Mr. Jones, used the pen name of Gerry Dorsey when he did.

How many show's had Tom Jones done?
Asked by Wiki User
Obviously that answer varies by country. In the UK, Jones hit No.1 on the singles charts with "It's Not Unusual" in 1965 and "Green, Green Grass Of Home" in 1967.
In the US, although he had several Top 10 and Top 20 hits, his highest charting single was 1971's "She's A Lady", which peacked at No. 2. In terms of total sales Jones easily topped the million mark with "She's A Lady" in the US as well as "without Love" (US#5, 1970), and "I'll Never Fall In Love Again" (US#6, 1969).
However, Jones did hit No. 1 on the Country charts in the US, in Feb 1977 with the title track of his 1976 album "Say You'll Stay Until Tomorrow", which also hit #15 on the regular US singles chart. Jones became the first act in the rock era to hit No.1 on the counry charts with their very first ever counry single (Bon Jovi recently matched that feat).
None of Jones albums hit No. 1 in the US, although nine different albums were certified Gold for a million plus sales. Among them were "Help Yourself", "Live In LAs Vegas", and "This Is Tom Jones", each one peaking in the Top 5 of the US album charts but missing out on No. 1.
