Elvis Presley Sang Tom Jones’ Song to Greet Him

Tom Jones has his unique manner of singing, powerful and burning. Recently Jones told that once on his early stages of singing careers even Elvis Presley sang his song during the meeting on a film set in California. This is how Elvis greeted the Welsh singer.
“I came to Paramount Studio, we were discussing which song to choose for one of their films, and I was told that Elvis was here and wanted to say hi to me. I couldn’t believe my ears, I thought that Elvis Presley didn’t even know about my existence, as at that times I was only at the start of my career”, Jones told in Radio 2 morning show.
“I came in to the place where he was working at the film and suddenly he stopped for some time looking at me. Then he walks to me, singing one of my ballads of that time called With These Hands. This was amazing, totally unbelievable. He came to me and that moment I will never forget. He greeted me with a song and we chatted a little. He asked “How can you sing like that?”.
Elvis Presley liked Jones’ manner and it was like a compliment to his talent. The singers became friends from that moment. They stayed in touch for a long time, till 1975. In 1977 Presley died. At present time Tom Jones takes part in Elvis Forever in London. The concert will be held on September 12th in Hyde Park.
