Tom Jones, the celebrated Welsh singer, first captured audiences’ imaginations in the 1960s with a string of chart-topping hits including “2It’s Not Unusual”, “What’s New Pussycat?”, “Green, Green Grass of Home” and “Delilah”. With his powerful baritone and impressive vocal range, Jones earned acclaim for his ability to switch seamlessly from a deep, resonant tone to a smooth, melodic style, and received praise from critics such as AllMusic and The New York Times.
While he enjoyed popularity for several decades, Tom Jones’ image underwent a transformation in the mid-1970s. Once seen as a wholesome entertainer, he was increasingly viewed as a novelty sex symbol and his popularity seemed to wane. However, his career took a remarkable revival with his collaboration on Art of Noise’s cover of Prince’s “Kiss”. This pivotal moment marked the beginning of Jones’ reinvention into the beloved and respected figure he is today.
Discover the timeless appeal and extraordinary talent of Tom Jones. Watch the video below to witness his evolution from a ’60s icon to a revered and cherished figure in the music world.
Drone Captures Rare Images of Isolated People Who Are Cut Off From the World
G. Miranda’s breathtaking photographs, captured for Survival International, offer a rare glimpse into the secluded existence of various uncontacted tribes worldwide. From the enigmatic Sentinelese on North Sentinel Island, India, to the Amazon tribes near Brazil’s Javari River valley bordering Peru, these images provide a captivating aerial view.
The drone photographs are proof of the existence of untouched tribes.
A mesmerizing compilation video, shared on Death Island Expeditions’ YouTube channel in 2018, has garnered over 3.5 million views, showcasing these remote settlements and their inhabitants. Witness tribespeople, armed with traditional bows and arrows, gazing curiously at the hovering drones, offering a poignant insight into their untouched world.
It amuses people by showing the lives of tribespeople, which are different from ours.
Captivated viewers on YouTube expressed profound astonishment at the vast disparity between their lives and those of these tribespeople. One commenter marveled, “It blows my mind how different our lives are. The fact that they don’t even know about the existence of grocery stores, factories, phones, social media, everything that makes our society what it is. It’s so surreal.”
However, these untouched tribes are now in danger and need protection.
FUNAI, Brazil’s National Indian Foundation, plays a pivotal role in formulating policies concerning indigenous tribes, and their involvement in capturing drone footage underscores their commitment to preserving these cultures.
While some imagery dates back to 2008, as reported by Survival International, the significance of these visuals remains timeless, as emphasized by uncontacted tribes expert José Carlos dos Reis Meirelles Júnior. He highlighted the urgent need to protect these tribes from external threats, such as illegal logging activities encroaching from Peru.
“We did the overflight to show their houses, to show they are there, to show they exist,” he said.
A film has also been released. The Mission, a poignant documentary directed by Amanda McBaine and Jesse Moss, sheds light on the tragic fate of American missionary John Allen Chau. His ill-fated attempt to make contact with the Sentinelese people in 2018 resulted in his untimely demise, symbolizing the delicate balance between curiosity and respect for these isolated communities.
Another curious discovery occurred in Peru. The discovery of “alien mummies” at the airport has captured global attention, and scientists have revealed something disturbing.
