It's Not Unusual It's Not Unusual "It's Not Unusual" is a song written by Les Reed and Gordon Mills, first recorded by a then-unknown Tom Jones, after having first been offered to Sandie Shaw. Jones recorded what was intended to be a demo for Shaw, but when she heard it she was so impressed with Jones's delivery that she declined the song and recommended that Jones release it himself. The record was the second Decca single Jones released, reaching number one in the UK Singles Chart in 1965. It was also the first hit for Jones in the US, peaking at No. 10
Tom Jones (singer) currently sold on DVD by Time Life rather than by Classic World Productions or C/F International. C/F International's rights to later Tom Jones material were also disputed. In March 2007, Tom Jones and Tom Jones Enterprises sued C/F International to stop the company from licensing sound recordings made from the 1981 "Tom Jones" series. It was contended that any rights that C/F International had to license the "Tom Jones" show did not include the right to make and license separate recordings of the performances on the show, and that any rights that C/F International had in the "Tom Jones" show
