The show said it was COVERED by Tom Jones, and that it was a Shirley Bassey song. Just so you know.

Tom Jones was who was cited by the show and I reported what the show does. I’m not a music historian. Thank you for the correction though.

No, banana, Tom Jones did not write the song. He *performed* it in 1970.

The English version was written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller in 1963, the same year
that Shirley Bassey recorded it.
