      ''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.

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

      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.
