Erekton99's video: Sir Tom Jones - Delilah - Arena Pula 2012

Tiger from Wales is better than old wine - Concert on August 14, 2012 "Delilah" is a song recorded by Welsh singer Tom Jones in 1968. It was written by Barry Mason, with music by Les Reed. It reached No 1 in the charts of several countries including Germany and Switzerland. It reached No 2 in the British charts in March 1968 and was the sixth best selling single of that year. The US Billboard chart records its highest position as 15. Jones narrates the song as a deceived lover who spies his woman in a silhouette on a window blind as she makes love to another man. Although he realizes that she is of no good for him, he becomes temporarily insane. Waiting until her paramour leaves, at break of day, he knocks on the door, which she opens, only to laugh in his face. He stabs her to death. Realizing his murderous act, the deceived lover begs her forgiveness before the police come to break down the door and take him away. Jones' version features a big-band accompaniment set to a flamenco rhythm in 3/8 time. Sir Thomas John Woodward, OBE (born 7 June 1940), known by his stage name Tom Jones, is a Welsh singer.
