"Bio: Sir Thomas Jones Woodward, KBE (born 7 June 1940), best known by his stage name, Tom Jones, is a Welsh pop singer particularly noted for his powerful voice. He was born in Treforest, near Pontypridd in South Wales. He rose to fame in the mid-1960s, with an exuberant live act which included wearing tight breeches and billowing shirts, in an Edwardian style popular amongst his peers at the time. He was known for his overt sexuality, before this was as common as it became in subsequent years. In 1963 he became the frontman for Tommy Scott and the Senators, a local beat group. Clad all in black leather, Tom soon gained a reputation in the South Wales area. The Senators were still all unheard of in London. In 1964 they laid down a few tracks with maverick Telstar producer Joe Meek, and took them to various labels in an attempt to get a record deal. The plan was to release a single, Lonely Joe/I Was A Fool, but the ever-flighty Meek refused to release the tapes. The group returned to South Wales and continued to play gigs at dance halls and working mens clubs. One night, at the Top Hat in Cwmtillery, Tom was spotted by Gordon Mills, a London-based manager originally from South Wales. Mills became Tom’s manager, and took the young singer to London. He also renamed him Tom Jones. The Senators became the Playboys, and later still the Squires. " oIfxBthfFkg Edited July 29, 201113 yr by Leonardo
July 28, 201113 yr I don't care much for Devlin, but Runaway is so good :wub: :wub: :wub: deserved a much higher peak than it got!This. This. THIS. 'Runaway' is sensational! One of my favourite tracks from last year! (Although I only first heard it this year :(! ) Nothing too shocking just yet. Frankmusik only just missed out on points from me :(

July 28, 201113 yr 'Cooler Than Me' was a fantastic song, but unfortunately Mike's later singles 'Bow Chicka Wow Wow' and 'Please Don't Go' were rather dull and generic soppy album material tracks. :(

July 29, 201113 yr Author Starting the top 75 is one of two Greens to debut this year.... http://i780.photobucket.com/albums/yy90/Matthew_Bridgehouse/ProfGreen.jpg 75 Professor Green (34pts) Stats Votes: 3 (Liam, Seejaysee,Troylovesmusic) Highest Position: 4 (Liam) Top Ten Finishes: 1 (Liam) LastFM Plays: 1,791,991 Karate Kicks: none BMAS History: X-75 Personal Opinion: Quite liked his singles last year, nothing really special so far though. "Bio: Professor Green is a pop rapper/singer from East London, currently signed to Virgin Records, after Mike Skinner’s The Beats label closed, and ended a run of his own radio shows on BBC Radio 1. Having fortified his name storming through the hip-hop battle rap circuit, 27 year old East London native Professor Green is set to drop his debut album on Mike Skinner’s The Beats label (via Warner’s). Growing up on the Northwold estate in Upper Clapton, Green’s familial situation saw him being raised by his grandmother while he traded up school attendance for just hanging on the estate, like kids do. While the usual nefarious stories of low budget living played a part in his life, Green’s formative years were also characterised by fun: skating was big on the estate, etc. He also had an early inkling that the art of verbal sparring would somehow play a part in his life, confessing how, he always wanted to be a barrister or a lawyer. “I like debates and I’ve always been argumentative, I think that’s helped me in battles a lot.” However, while becoming obsessed with hip-hop at the age of nine “Biggie is my greatest hip-hop influence”, Green only switched up from passive fan to active participant at a relatively late stage. After turning 18 years old, he coined his first rhyme completely off-the-cuff when put on the spot at an impromptu freestyle jam session round a friends house. Passing the test with aplomb and impressing his music making peers, the underground rap battle scene suddenly opened up before him. " 7Kk-dgcTSwY
