The musical shape-shifter commonly known as Tom Jones comes to town for a show at the Louisville Palace on October 2. With record sales topping 100 million in styles ranging from pop to rock to R&B to country and gospel - among others - the Welsh singer has built a six-decade-long career, an achievement not likely to be repeated in the current era of disposable acts. He got a Grammy way back in 1966; he also received a knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II, so he's Sir Thomas to you. His first hit, "It's Not Unusual," pegged the No. 1 spot in 1965 and the hits kept on coming over the years. If you are really curious, head on to Jones' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Jones Wikipedia page for the full summary. It's lengthy. Tickets are $35 in advance.Here's a video from a more-or-less recent performance:
