Sir Tom Jones,Delilah
"Delilah" is a song recorded by Welsh singer Tom Jones in December 1967. The lyrics were written by Barry Mason, and the 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.
Tom Jones' recording 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.
Shortly after its release, "Delilah" became an unofficial anthem in Welsh Rugby. As early as 1971, Max Boyce's own hit song, Hymns and Arias referenced "Delilah"'s popularity alongside more traditional Welsh hymns.
The song's popularity saw it become part of official matchday performances at Wales matches, especially those at the old National Stadium.
On 17 April 1999, Jones performed Delilah as part of the pre-match build-up to Wales' victory over England at Wembley Stadium in the 1999 Five Nation's Championship.
The 2023 it was announced that the popular song will not be performed at the rugby tournament due to its problematic lyrics.
