Tom Jones - green, green grass of home

[RagingInMiami]

During my cross country road trip last year from arizona back to Miami, I listened to this song and I totally dug it.

What do you guys think?

2. I never really cared for it until I was driving across the Texas desert

After living from Miami more than ten years. That was when I suddenly understood the significance of the "green, green grass of home".

but I do.

5. O.C Smith did the better version IMO..

Bu it's a great song nonetheless..

6. The thing about Tom Jones is he can take ANY song and make

it his own. He's been prolific in the recording dept.

You wanna hear a great interpretation of a song, listen to his version of Motherless Child on his Reload CD.

7. My brother loved Tom Jones..

And I remember him playing it over and over when it came out; the guy is amazing; a real, honest to goodness, entertainer/song interpretor.

What years was his variety show on? I remember the giant "Tom" sign that he walked out behind and started singing "It's Not Unusual"...

edit: Mr. Typo strikes again..

8. 69-71

I saw him just last year. I try to catch him whenever he's in town. He's still an awesome singer.

9. Johnny Cash used to sing that one

He especially liked to play it before a "captive" audience....

10. I imagine the audience felt every word of that song

I love Johnny.
