60 Years of “It’s Not Unusual”: Tom Jones Celebrates a Legendary Milestone

Exactly 60 years ago, a bold, soulful voice burst onto the scene with a song that would become iconic. It’s Not Unusual was released—and with it, the world met Tom Jones. Who could have imagined back then that this single hit would ignite one of the most enduring and electrifying careers in music history?

From that very first trumpet blast, It’s Not Unusual became an anthem, setting the stage for a life filled with unforgettable melodies, larger-than-life performances, and a voice that only grew stronger with time. Tom went on to conquer global stages, charm royalty and rock stars alike, and create hit after hit while always staying true to the raw energy that first defined him.

But he never walked this journey alone. At the heart of it all were the fans—those who danced in their living rooms in the ‘60s, those who cheered him on from Las Vegas showrooms, and those still watching, listening, and loving him six decades later. Tom himself says none of this would’ve happened without that unwavering support. “Thank you,” he says, “you are truly loved and appreciated.”

To mark this remarkable anniversary, Tom is opening the vault and sharing something special: a rare performance of It’s Not Unusual from his classic 1960s TV show, This Is Tom Jones. It’s now live on his YouTube channel—a nostalgic blast of sharp suits, swinging moves, and that unmistakable voice that lit up a generation.

So here’s to 60 years of rhythm, heart, and soul. Here’s to the man, the music, and the magic. And most of all—here’s to YOU, the fans who made it all possible. Now go hit play and relive the fire of that first big hit. You won’t believe how good it still sounds.
