Ring of Fire - Tom Jones - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Released in 1963, "Ring of Fire" quickly became synonymous with the legendary Johnny Cash. Penned by songwriters June Carter Cash and Merle Kilgore, this iconic country song beautifully captures the perilous nature of love - a burning desire that's consuming, much like falling into a ring of fire. Characterized by its unique Mexican mariachi-style horn arrangement, "Ring of Fire" rapidly became one of The Man in Black's biggest hits, reaching the top of the country charts and staying there for seven weeks. The popularity of Johnny Cash's rendition of "Ring of Fire" led several artists to try their hand at it, including Welsh singer Tom Jones, who recorded a version on his 1967 fifth studio album, Green, Green Grass of Home. Though similar in spirit to the original recording, Tom Jones' version ditched the brass arrangements in favor of electric guitars and featured the crooner's trademark smooth vocal delivery. Tom Jones' take on the country classic helped its parent album enter the Top 10 in the UK, Australia, and Germany.
