Tom Jones swoons over the Autumn leaves

I'm not a real big fan of the "dream boat" types and always thought Tom Jones was miscast in that role. It would have been more interesting to see what he could have done with an R&B based career but apparently he preferred Vegas where he could out Humper the other dinks. 

Anyway, he was kinda like Elvis in that you could give him any song to sing and he could deliver. Here he is, back in the day, swooning over The Autumn Leaves - Ladies, get your panties ready for the one, the only Mr. Tom Jones!
