Think all of these have been played at some stage or another and were all issued on Parrot in the US as singles so some -or all - could be on your album (the singles ain't rare, but no idea about the album): The Lonely One Stop Breaking My Heart Key To My Heart There's a version of Ben E. King's - Can't Break The News too, but don't think was issued on Parrot Probably a few others too! Edited February 14, 2007 by uroffal Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The track that was played was "Stop breaking my heart" which came out in the US as the b side to "I who have nothing" Parrot was part of London records for his releases in the US. Came out on Decca in the UK Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete S Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Came out on Decca in the UK Twice - the first time it was a flop, it's quite rare, on the old curved decca logo - second is a b side to a hit and is common Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Bogue Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Great voice Tom Someone should ask him to come & sing his Northern songs at one of these weekenders if he is in the country, i saw an interview where he said he just loves singing & his favourite gigs are free ones that he does in pubs, especialy jamming to old R&B stuff ! 'The Lonely One' is my favourite, even over 'I Can't Break the News', brilliant 100mph tune Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Sebastian Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 (edited) The Lonely One - tom jones - decca uk 14769 refosoul This is indeed ONE HELL of a tune. An absolute pounder. Can't stand "Stop Breaking My Heart" personally. His version of "Chills And Fever" (his first Decca 45 if I remember correctly) is superb as well. So is "Looking Out My Window".

I agree, Tom did cover many Soul Tunes, and also had many Soul Artists on his Shows. Along with Dusty Springfield he certainly did his bit for our music. 60's & 70's. I remember him singing with Wilson Pickett and many others.
