This new single shows he has certainly not lost his magic. This song is a great comeback, exactly what the average Tom Jones fan ordered. It’s not unusual of his style, in that it’s got a big band, the trademark dulcet tones, smooth lyrics and even a brass solo. Even if the last thing you want to do is imagine a granddad singing of such deeds, it’s undoubtedly a good song. ‘If He Should Ever Leave You’ definitely will not be an instant classic like ‘Sex Machine’ or ‘She’s A Lady’, but nevertheless it’s a solid single from the Welsh legend; and a song which should be warmly received by his fan base.
