After 40 years in the music business, legendary singer Tom Jones finally releases an album of his own songs.
The 68-year-old has shifted more than 100 million albums, but he has rarely penned his own material.
He says he has gone back to basics with the album 24 Hours, shunning covers to co-write songs which, he says, are a return to the 60s anthems that first made him famous.
The album also includes a track dedicated to his wife of 50 years.
