'For a lot of years, I've answered a lot of questions, but have never told my story before . . .'

In a business where dreams are often short-lived, Sir Tom Jones has maintained his sensational career across six decades.

Through his unrelenting love for what he does and his passion for working across every genre there is, the one constant throughout has been his unique musical gifts and unmistakable voice.

But how did a boy from a Welsh coal-mining family attain success across the globe?

And how has he survived the twists and turns of fame and fortune to not only stay exciting, but actually become more credible and interesting with age?

In this, his first ever autobiography, Tom revisits his past and tells the tale of his journey from wartime Pontypridd to LA and beyond. He reveals the stories behind the ups and downs of his fascinating and remarkable life, from the early heydays to the subsequent fallow years to his later period of artistic renaissance.

It's the story nobody else knows or understands, told by the man who lived it, and written the only way he knows how: simply and from the heart.

Raw, honest, funny and powerful, this is a memoir like no other from one of the world's greatest ever singing talents.
