Not What You'd Expect, November 19, 2004
I was a casual fan of Tom Jones in that I knew the voice, I knew the songs, and I respected the talent, but when I saw him perform this song on Conan O'Brien oh so many years ago, I was totally blown away! First off, the song was written by Diane Warren, who is one of the best sentimental song writers in the business. Add Mike Campbell, of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, to the mix on guitar and Tori Amos on backing vocals and you have a truly unique sounding pop lament to lost love. This song is so unlike what you think of when you think of Tom Jones. He truly works his considerable vocal skills on this tune. I bought the cassette single when it first came out and have been looking for the CD ever since. I honestly wish this song would be added to his greatest hits collection.
