@70smusicmomma: Delilah by Tom Jones #Delilah "Delilah" is a song recorded by Welsh singer Tom Jones in December 1967. The lyrics were written by Barry Mason, and the music by Les Reed, who also contributed the title and theme of the song. It earned Reed and Mason the 1968 Ivor Novello award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically. Tom Jones' recording reached No. 1 in the charts of several countries, including Germany and Switzerland. It reached No 2 in the British charts in March 1968 and was the sixth-best selling single of that year. The US Billboard chart records its highest position as 15. When Jones performed the song on The Ed Sullivan Show, the censors insisted that the line "At break of day when the man drove away" be changed to "At break of day I was still 'cross the way", as the original version implied he had spent the night with Delilah. Jones later described the change as "such bullshit". Welsh rugby fans have sung "Delilah" as an unofficial anthem since at least as early as the 1970s. #TomJones #60ssong #oldies #fyp #oldiesbutgoodies #60smusic #lyricsvideo #lyrics #foryou #f #tomjoneswales #fy #70smusicmomma #oldschool #60sclassic #fup #livemusic #sadsong #60smusicvideos #1968 #1960s #1960smusic #boomer #lyricsmusic
