"Funny, Familiar, Forgotten Feelings" *(or "Funny Familiar Forgotten Feelings") is a song written by Mickey Newbury and originally recorded and released in 1966 by American country singer Don Gibson. Don Gibson's recording was a top 10 country hit in the United States.
It was one of Newbury's earlier songwriting works and his very first songwriting hit.
In 1967, the song was covered by Welsh singer Tom Jones, becoming a global hit. Notably, Jones's cover reached number 7 in his native UK.
Tom Jones gave the song a soul vibe. His version has been described as "a waltz-time ballad with the clicked, plectrum-hit bass guitar notes underneath it."
The song gave start to Newbury's string of hits as a songwriter — followed by "Just Dropped In" (a pop hit for Kenny Rogers and the First Edition), "Here Comes the Rain, Baby" (a hit for Eddy Arnold), and "Sweet Memories" (a hit for Andy Williams). He also had a quality tenor voice himself and would later record this song as a singer.
