The handbook says nothing about Tom Jones, though

I believe it's in the old Rocker's Handbook (Lead Singer Guide to Stage Appearance, page 37, item 8 ). It says "Women love tight pants. It does not matter if you are unattractive, overweight, have a flat ass/no ass/too much ass, or if your legs resemble Pixie Sticks. The recommended stage attire calls for tight pants, preferably leather (or in the case of hair bands, spandex) although denim is acceptable. Your fan base will be expanded greatly if you are able to become a fantasy object for women (see Side Effects of Going Mainstream pg. 53, section 3). This requires ocasionally making eyes in the general direction of a group of stagefront females, singing at least one love ballad, long hair (see Exceptions at the end of this chapter), and of course tight pants. Ability to fill out the front of said pants marginally increases female fan appreciation; however this is not necessary as long as you incorporate some suggestive moves into your routine. Ass-shaking and pelvic thrusts are considered standard."
Sorry... was just looking at some rock pix from the 70s and 80s, and damn was there a lot of "moose knuckle" going on there.
