<p>This chat grew out of an interview I was having with Tom Jones in 1992, for The Irish Times. It was more about Elvis than Tom at least at the start, so it has never been published or heard until now. I knew Tom had been a friend of Elvis I asked him about recent rumours that Elvis had an incestuous relationship with his mother, that Elvis was secretly gay and discovered peddling pills to black musicians at Sun Records. Then we talked about the mob in terms of Las Vegas. This is Tom Jones as you never heard him before - unless it was in my interviews with the man! </p>
