Went to see Katherine Jenkins at the Liverpool Philharmonic last night , her guest singer was John Owen Jones who did the Tom Jones Thunderball Theme backed by a 30+ Orchestra brilliant sent goose bumps down my back , Katherine Jenkins wasn't bad either .

It's a hell of a belter, and one I've used for practice to extend my range for other things for a bit. I can punch it out reasonably well - all except for that last note (which is a bit of a bugger!).
Most impressed. Very like a Welshman to nail it. :v
Unusual, but pretty good!

Supposedly the word Thunderball comes from the mushroom cloud of a nuclear explosion, but the OED has it first used in the 1600s, I think to describe thunder, but I’m not sure.
I thought it was a phrase for when someone comes in and causes a disturbance, a bit like ‘wrecking ball’, but did I imagine that?
Never heard of that one, emtiem.
Yes, John Owen Jones really nails it in that performance...
