It's Not Unusual
Writers - Mills/Reed
Unreleased (1997)
Chris and Neil performed Tom Jones's 1965 pure-pop classic (his first hit) at the 1997 Stonewall performance at Royal Albert Hall. It was a brilliant choice, giving the familiar line "It's not unusual to be loved by anyone" an entirely new meaning in light of the "gay context" of the Stonewall concert. In other words, love is not unusual—period.
