With his tremendous recording success, Tom Jones has been able to draw capacity audiences everywhere, from concert halls and arenas in the U.S. and Europe to the showrooms of Las Vegas. His skills as a showman and entertainer are sharply developed. His energy, openness and spontaneity charm critics and audiences alike.

As the 60s reached their close, Mills put his star on the small screen where he hosted the highly successful show, This Is Tom Jones. Unlike similar series, Jones' show attracted some of the best and most critically acclaimed acts of the era. An unusual feature of the show saw Jones duetting with his guests. Some of the more startling vocal workouts occurred when Jones teamed-up with David Crosby during a Crosby, Stills And Nash segment, and on another occasion with Blood, Sweat And Tears' David Clayton-Thomas. Although Jones logged a handful of hits in the UK during the early 70s, he was now an American-based performer, whose future lay in the lucrative Las Vegas circuit he had been playing since the late 60s. Jones became enormously wealthy during his supper-club sojourn and had no reason to continue his recording career, which petered out during the 70s.

Tom began 1993 with a recorded version of the Rolling Stones' classic Gimme Shelter with alternative band New Model Army, released on the independent label Food Records (EMI) in March. The song is part of a multi-record project that will benefit the national U.K. charity Shelter, which has long worked for the homeless.
