On This day, 24 February 1968, it was reported that one of America’s biggest stars was showing interest in Welsh singing sensation Tom Jones.
In America last week it was reported that Tom had spent 30 minutes on the phone to Sinatra followed by a 10 minute conversation between Sinatra and Jones’s manager Gordon Mills.
Mills said on his return to the UK ; “Sinatra’s taking an interest in Tom’s career. He may even adopt the boy like he does with some artists.”
Mills denied however, that there would be any business tie-up between Sinatra and Jones. Sinatra has invited Millsa and Tom Jones to visit him in Los Angeles.
Jones said “ Sinatra sounded like a guy and a half and certainly didn’t sound like a man just out of serious injury. He asked me about my opening at the Copa and how people had received me.”
Jones’s new single ‘Delilah’ was being released this week.
