Tom Jones
The Ultimate Collection
We are having trouble finding the first, original recording by Tom Jones of Stagger Lee.
- 1997 The Ultimate Collection
- 1998 Delilah: Legendary Performances
- 2000 At His Best
- 2001 Selection, Vol. 2
Jones often gravitated toward songs that allowed for expressive storytelling, which is why "Stagger Lee," with its themes of confrontation and bravado, suited his style so well. His rendition doesn’t stray far from the essence of the traditional ballad, yet his vocal delivery gives the song a distinctive blend of soul and intensity.
