It's Not Unusual Les Reed & Gordon Mills / Arr. Idar Torskangerpoll

Serie / Series: Flex 5 SHOWBLOW

It's Not Unusual, written by Les Reed and Gordon Mills is without doubt the biggest hit by British singer Tom Jones.
It was originally written for the singer Sandy Shaw. But after hearing what was meant to be a kind of demo-recording by Jones, she was so
impressed with the performance that she adviced Jones to release it himself.
The recording for release was done late 1964 and issued early 1965, making it one of the biggest hits that year almost all over Europe.
Performances on the Ed Sullivan Show in the US made it a big hit also in the States.

[NO]It's Not Unusual, skrevet av Les Reed og Gordon Mills er utvilsomt det mest kjente låten fremført av Tom Jones.
Den var opprinnelig skrevet til sangeren Sandie Shaw, men etter at Jones spilte inn hva som var ment som en slags demo av låten til Shaw ble hun så imponert over hans fremførelse at hun oppfordret Jones til selv å gi den ut.
Innspillingen til Tom Jones fant sted i slutten av 1964 for utgivelse i januar 1965. Singelen ble en av de store hitene dette året med gode listeplasseringer på europeiske hitlister.
