    Tom Jones definitely gets my vote as one of the fonkiest cats to shake it.
    I like his cover of Prince's "Kiss" better than the original, and although
    he's probably the most macho guy to ever hit a stage, he always did it with
    tongue placed firmly in cheek. I've seen old footage of him performing
    "Everyday People" with Sly Stone, and believe me, there was a lotta mutual
    respect going on. I've spoken to people who really dislike Tom Jones pretty
    intensely, but u gotta hand it to him, at least he's got the balls to shake
    it the way he does. I figure that anyone that's gonna be that overtly
    sexual and macho onstage is bound to catch some flak.
