Delilah - Tom Jones - instrumental cover by Dave Monk

“Delilah“ is a murder ballad recorded by Welsh singer Tom Jones in 1968. The lyrics were written by Barry Mason and music by Les Reed, who also contributed the title and theme of the song. It earned Reed and Mason the 1968 Ivor Novello award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically. It reached No. 1 in the charts of several countries including Germany and Switzerland. It reached No 2 in the British charts in March 1968 and was the sixth best selling single of that year. The US Billboard chart records its highest position as 15. Here is my instrumental version of this powerful song. I hope you enjoy it. Dave
