An 80th Birthday Present for Sir Tom Jones.

In 2014 I was fortunate enough to be chosen by Sir Tom Jones as my mentor on 'The Voice UK'. On entering the competition my ambition had been to sing a duet with the superstar legend. Sir Tom took me on a fantastical journey through the stages of that competition and I reached the final and realised my dream.

I am happy to now be able to pay homage to this Knight of the Realm, on his special Birthday, with my own version of 'It's Not Unusual' - his 1965 breakthrough hit.

I recorded the music in my home studio (Chickenshit Studios). My pal Anna Ryder came round one day and we recorded her piano and my vocal in one take. Anna added the horn section and I overdubbed the guitar. I then mixed it and mastered it with advice from son no 1 Dillon, who is currently working on his own music project (The Brown Bear Collective). Son no 2 Ben then made it into a family affair by putting the video together.

Happy Birthday, Sir Tom. xxx

What a voice! It's liquid gold.Tom Jones had tears in his eyes, and after a career that's spanned decades, he knows what music is. What a beautiful moment, what a lovely lady.

My God, I would have never thought this song could be sung as a ballad. I love this arrangement. I've loved Tom Jones since I was a young girl and this is one Hell of a tribute to a master of his craft by a master of hers.

I love the way Tom is so touched by music. It's why, ( along with his talent), he's lasted so long in the music business.

By far the best that ever graced the Stage of The Voice . I loved her rendition of Olly Muir’s ‘Dear Darlin’. She was the true Winner of that Season . It goes without sayin what a handsome couple she and Tom were together.

Tom has been mesmerized by her voice and arrangements from the first moment. She always makes him cry. It appears she is opening for him on tour.

So tender and intimate. It seems like the way this song should have been sung all along ... Exquisite! Such an expressive emotional voice.

I love her voice. You can feel the feeling behind it and it makes it really beautiful.
She needs to make an album.

In this world of chaos and confusion, this version of Tom's song is what people need to bring us back to what's important, and that's called peace and contentment. And that's what this lady has done for me. Thanks!!

I hear Sally sing and her arrangements of the songs on the Voice and here now remind me not only of Sir Tom Jones but of Frank Sinatra's favorite singer, Tony Bennett.
