London, Sep 09 (ANI): Sir Tom Jones has revealed that Elvis Presley was ‘partly to blame’ for his dramatic singing style in ‘With These Hands’.

Jones, known for his trademark powerful vocals, said Presley greeted him by singing one of the Welsh star’s early hits during their first meeting on a California film set more than 40 years ago.

‘I was at Paramount Studios talking about a song for a film, and they said Elvis is here and would like to meet you - I said my God, I didn’t know that he knew that I even existed because it was my first year,” the Telegraph quoted him as telling Chris Evans on his Radio 2 breakfast show.

‘I went on set and he was there filming and then he stops for a minute and is walking towards me, and I had a ballad out at the time called With These Hands and there comes Elvis Presley singing With These Hands walking towards me, it was like a dream - and I thought my God, this is unbelievable.

‘When he got to me he said ‘how the hell do you sing like that?’ and I said ‘Well you’re partly to blame’, ‘ he added. (ANI)
