Tom Jones was offered his previously reported Music Industry Trusts’ outstanding contribution award by Tim Burton on Monday, at the Trusts’ annual fund-raising dinner in aid of the Nordoff Robbins charity and The BRIT Trust.

A special film about Jones’s career was shown, the BRIT School Choir sang his songs, Cerys Matthews did a “I’m Welsh too, you know” spot, while Kelly Jones, Don Black, Paul Anka and Priscilla Presley all paid praise, the latter telling guests how much her husband rated Jones as a performer. She said: “They would sing songs together and jam together, for Elvis to do that he actually had to have a lot of trust in someone – he admired Tom’s voice so much”.

The event ended with Jones (Tom) joining the aforesaid Matthews and Jones (Kelly) on stage to sing some of his hits.

David Munns, Chairman of the Trust Award committee, told CMU: “Tom Jones is one of those rare beings, a timeless entertainer, a great guy, who clearly loves what he does, and whose talent appeals to consecutive generations. Tom is Mr Cool, one of the world’s greatest singers and performers and we are tremendously proud and honoured that he is the 2010 recipient of the Music Industry Trusts’ Award”.

They might have been the only nine guys who could close out a show as frantic as the American Music Awards. In a show filled with pop newcomers like Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber, New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys graced the phase to show they still had the right stuff.

Like any good boy-band performance, there were rocket and sweet dance moves. The pop supergroup started with a mash-up of the BSB hit “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)” and the NKOTB classic “Hangin’ Tough.” Soon the guys slowed it down for Backstreet’s “I Want It That Way” and then kicked it old school for the New Kids’ “Step by Step.”

All nine guys took a dance break before they segued into “The Right Stuff,” total with the New Kids’ infamous shuffle dance from the video. The spotlight once again cut down on a BSB tune before they capped it off with “Larger Than Life,” complete with an “NKOTBSB” chant. Confetti fell from the sky as the guys closed out the show.

Earlier in the night, all nine guys hit the AMA red carpet together. In an meeting earlier this month, they teased that there was a chance they might record a track together.

“It’s tough getting these guys in the studio. These young cats,” New Kid Joey McIntyre explained about his tourmates, the Backstreet Boys. “Well, it’s honestly, it is hard to get everybody together. Yes, we have lots of huge intentions.

Ancient ethnic societies used music as a basis for gathering and to express their past, ethnicity, and artistic beliefs. Music has altered during the ages, but the use of music as a vital part of cultural and individual expression has altered very little.
