No. 9 - 'If He Should Ever Leave You,' Tom Jones. Leave it to this 68-year-old crooner to bring true swagger back to pop music. This gem combines Jones' trademark confidence and swinging delivery with modern production, care of Future Cut. The finished product is neither a redundant throwback nor a desperate attempt for an old dog to learn a new trick. This is a brand-new classic, brought to life by an old favorite. http://www.spinner.com/2008/12/12/best-songs-of-2008-no-9/
