The Man Who Became a Knight Through Song, Tom Jones
I wonder if the singer I'm introducing today might be the oldest among the singers featured by the Bard. This is Sir Tom Jones, born in 1940, who is 86 years old this year. A legendary singer from Wales, Tom Jones is a maestro of pop with overwhelming vocal ability and charisma. He is a figure who received a knighthood (British Knights) from the Queen of the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 in 2006 for his music alone. The song I'll introduce is 'Delilah'. This song, released by Tom Jones in 1968, is his representative hit and was very popular in Korea as well. At first, I was puzzled by the lyrics of this song, because the lyrics describe brutally stabbing a woman to death. However, as you can see from the video, the rhythm is upbeat, and when she is killed, all the audience members rejoice and raise their hands in the air, celebrating. Later, I learned that Delilah symbolizes the biblical 'Delilah', meaning her death represents the downfall of evil! https://youtu.be/J-MwxASwNtI?si=w56UgkYNRzi3oGhG

Since a 1940-born has appeared, I'll be back with the 1939-born Dion's chronicle.

Cho Young-nam covered and sang it. I bet Cho Young-nam also admired Tom Jones. He had an incredible high tone.
