Jones had aspirations to work with Houston

Tom Jones wanted to work with Whitney Houston.

The 'What's New Pussy Cat' singer - who has worked with the likes of Elvis Presley and the Stereophonics in the past - thinks Amy Winehouse's death at 27 last July was particularly tragic as she hadn't left a substantial body of work, unlike the 'I Will Always Love You' hitmaker, who passed away in February aged 48.
