It's very different from Prince's, I mean what do you expect with Tom Jones and his voice, but I've always enjoyed his cover. The song suits Tom.  | |

He's making a comeback. Isn't he like 70 years old now?
I like Tom's version too. Rock on Tom:  [Edited 12/2/08 17:48pm] | |

Tom's 'Kiss' was pretty horrible, but as some have pointed out, P has done some awful covers too.
Tom's new album is pretty damm good though. | |
