It’s not unusual that Tom Jones believes he might be black!

The venerable crooner said he’s seeking a DNA test to determine if he has any African lineage — both out of his own curiosity and longstanding speculation by fans.

“A lot of people still think I’m black,” Jones told The Times magazine of London.

“When I first came to America, people who had heard me sing on the radio would be surprised that I was when they saw me,” said Jones, 75. “Because of my hair, a lot of black people still tell me I’m just passing as white.”

The “It’s Not Unusual” singer was born to a Welsh mother and English father.

He speculated he could have black roots through his mom.

“My mother came out [was born] in big dark patches all over her body,” he said. “They asked if she had any black blood and she said she didn’t know.”

Tests to determine DNA from specific racial groups can cost up to $460.
