While saying accepting kisses and listening to the screams of female fans are a part of the job, flashy singer Tom Jones told reporters in a Niagara County news conference 40 years ago today– July 1, 1975– that he “doesn’t understand” women’s liberation, doesn’t know what “they want to be liberated from” and that “you’ll notice a lot of these women who talk about liberation are not pretty.”
One has to wonder if there were fewer kisses and screams at that evening’s concert?
The entertainment had more of a Buffalo feel at The After Dark nightclub on Transit Road in Lockport where Talas and The Road were featured in the coming week.
