Something wrong?A Welsh baritone who spent four decades packing Vegas showrooms, then found a second wind coaching contestants on reality TV - proof that a voice the New York Times called capable of sliding "from soulful rasp to pop croon" can outlast any single era of taste.

Elvis was always over the top. It's funny that in those days people who wanted to look like Elvis would wear leather jackets and jeans, because that's what he wore in his movies.
Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry and Gene Vincent would be my five.

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.
