"It's Not Unusual" is a song written by #LesReed and #GordonMills, first recorded by a then-unknown Tom Jones, after having first been offered to #SandieShaw. He intended it as a demo for her, but when she heard it she was so impressed with his delivery that she recommended he sing it instead. The record was the second Jones single #Decca released, reaching No. 1 on the #UKSinglesChart in 1965. It was his first hit in the #UnitedStates.
