# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Thomas John Woodward was born in Wales on 7 June 1940 and built his career on a full-throated baritone that AllMusic later called "robust." A string of top 10 hits in the 1960s — "It's Not Unusual", "What's New Pussycat?", the Thunderball theme, "Delilah", "She's a Lady" — established him as a shapeshifter who could work pop, R&B, country, soul, gospel, and show tunes without breaking stride. He played Vegas from 1967 to 2011, racked up 36 UK and 19 US Top 40 entries, sold over 100 million records, and collected a Grammy for Best New Artist in 1966. He dabbled in acting (a lead role in Pleasure Cove in 1979, a cameo in Mars Attacks! in 1996, a dramatic turn on Playhouse Presents in 2012) and earned a knighthood in 2006 for services to music. In the 2010s, a coaching chair on The Voice UK brought him back to the centre of the conversation, this time teaching others how to bend a note.
