No, not THAT one!  He's still alive at 83, but another Tom Jones who was 95 and the lyricist for the musical "The Fantasticks."

Lots of confusion going on about that today!

I doubt Engelbert Humperdinck will ever know this feeling

But, when you share the same name, it's not unusual! ?

Yeah... I remember being confused about this long ago. I always have loved The Fantastiks.... I even played a role (Mortimer, the British Indian)  in a summerstock version of it waaaay back...

Ironically, the more modern Engelbert, who is still alive at 87, stole the name from the composer who created the opera Hansel and Gretel (who died in 1921).
