Did you *listen* to Tom Jones?  That man has one HELL of a voice, and 
whether or not you identify him with his "It's Not Unusual", leather 
pants and swinging hips background, he laid down some awesome 
vocals.  If you switched off before Lulu's closing number, you really 
missed out.  

I think the fact that the British picked up on the blues that 
Americans were ignoring and brought it back to the states was pretty 
much the point of the show.
