Tom Jones - Early Life

Tom Jones began singing at an early age: he'd regularly sing at family gatherings, weddings, and in his school choir. However, when he was 12-years-old, Jones was struck down by tuberculosis. "I spent two years in bed recovering. It was the worst time of my life," Jones said many years later. He could do little else but listen to music and draw.

In March 1957, Tom Jones married his high school girlfriend, Melinda Trenchard. The couple had a son named Mark, who was born the month following their wedding. To support his young family, Jones took a job working in a glove factory and later toiled in construction.
