    Mary Wilson-Tom Jones Affair

    This is old news, but I guess it is in the news again because it is mentioned in a recent book called Tom Jones: The Life.

    Link to article is here:

    An amazing couple. Years later, he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II and she was appointed U.S. Cultural Ambassador by the U.S. State Dept. and General Colin Powell!

    I didn't know that Tom Jones and Mary Wilson were ever an item. That is a very beautiful matchup right there.

    It wasn't one of their best moments and I doubt either of them want to see it publicly brought up again, particularly SIR Tom Jones!

    And Tom was a short guy rumoured to be very big! I wonder if he was also left handed.

    Now you've really slighted Sir Tom! But what did he deny? Being left handed or being big?

    What I wanna know is why bring it up at all? Mary admitted it years later. Great music from both but flawed personalities. Don't know how Tom's wife kept up with it. Maybe she simply tolerated it because she "knew how Tom was".

    Did Tom divorce his wife ever?

    The article about the books says they are still together I believe.

    LOL, she knew Tom was a skank but she loved him. And she knew he was just using Mary as an outlet.

    The whole thing is kind of unsavoury but it is what they need to do to sell a few books; I gather Tom is an artist of some stature in the UK . I can't quite see how this kind of talk would maintain that stature.

    I wonder what Mary and her children think of this nonsense being published about someone who really isn't in the limelight anymore when she is a Grandmother and 71 years old. Perhaps what went around has come around. It seems to have happened with Motown 25 too.

    Mary is so thrilled to get press that she's probably told Duke's, Flip's and a dozen other exes' wives to get their stories out as well.

    Seems Tom had quite a few lapses of memory then but it took two to make it happen......and Tom's marriage was well known in the press.

    This is not Motown......

    When Tom Jones was recording for Joe Meek [[Lonely Joe, That's What We'll Do) he was pursued by Joe. Tom doesn't seem keen to talk about that part of his musical career but when he was pursued on the subject by a Meek fan, he recalled that he "rejected" Joe's advances. Joe passed in February 1967 so we can't ask him if his memory of the events is the same!

    I had no idea that Diana gave Mary Touch Me in the Morning as a gift!

    So the guy answer is "probably".

    90% of the "play up the ladies" guys are in the closet!

    Ok you all... the reason Tom's wife turns the blind eye to Tom fooling around is because not long after they were married, she became an agorophobic, and even t this day, won't leave her house. She can't be a real wife to him, so she sits at home, and he goes out and lives a normal life.

    Well she should just go in the bedroom with him more often! Or she should have! Well there's the kitchen table etc. too!

    I do believe that many of the men who are so vocal about "fine women" etc. and who are "gay negative" are in the closet STILL- just an idea I have!

    Tom's wife made it out a lot more than some suggest. There's tons of pics of them out together and, of course, she was out of the house spying on him and squeeze du jous.

    I agree with you 100000000% about in the closet with the door nailed shut. Eventually they come out! hehehehehe

    Well, even in football these days, no one gives a "sh*t" for more than 2 minutes.
