  1. I love all 3 of these songs. Sugar Sugar was on the radio the summer my parents divorced and my mom and us kids moved to a new neighborhood. A Boy Named Sue one of the best songs Johnny ever did. Tom Jones really knows how to belt out the heartache doesn’t he.

  3. I’m with msjadeli, for once! Love all three! I’m in the loop for once, yay!
    And you already know I’m a HUGE Tom Jones fan…remember the Duck Dodgers theme song he did…….? 🙂
