New Label for Tom Jones

Tomjones Tom Jones is one of two artists signed to the restarted S-Curve Records, the label that launched "Who Let the Dogs Out" and Joss Stone in its first incarnation (2000-2005). Over the years, Jones has generated hits for several labels. In his initial hitmaking run, 1964-1975, he recorded for Parrot, then made two albums for Epic, and spent the 1980s recording for several Polygram owned and distributed labels. His lone album for Jive, 1988's "Move Closer," was his biggest seller. Interscope released his 1994 effort "The Lead and How to Swing It," the Welsh singer's last high-profile release.BMG issued his 2000 disc "Reunited." But beyond the hotel keys tossed onstage during his concerts, Jones may be best remembered for his early '70s TV show, "This is Tom Jones." The first episode, which aired Jan. 9, 1969, saw Jones performing "It’s Not Unusual", "Delilah", "Land Of A Thousand Dances", "Hard To Handle", "My Elusive Dreams", "Bright Lights And You, Girl", "Good News," "I Can’t Stop Loving You" and dueting with Mireille Mathieu on "I’m Coming Home To You."
