FILIPINO SAM SARONO Impersonating TOM JONES singing DELILAH 

I had the great privilege of working with Sam back in 1988. I was a young (16-year-old) keyboard player in the resident band at the Warner Holiday Camp in St Ives, Cornwall, UK, and Sam - along with his own trio - cam along every two weeks as the guest cabaret act. Picture it: a huge room full of people on holiday, full of beer, and then comes on Sam. He drove them wild. For his finale, he would always perform a medley from Jesus Christ Superstar. It stopped all the drunks dead in their tracks, and made them - and me - cry. Off stage, Sam was one of the most gracious men I had - and have ever met - in my life. On his final week at the end of the summer season, he prepared us all a BBQ, and we had a ball. Ironically, now 48, I am married with one two-year-old daughter and another on the way - and am living in the Philippines:) Fly high, Sam.

I idolized Sam , its just because, im a Filipino, and Filipinos loves western musics, like this song.

There is nothing a Filipino or a Filipina can not do with a microphone.🎤 I have to admit, they are absolutely phenomenal.

The best talaga ang mga pilipino pagdating sa pag kanta #proud to be pinoy👌👌👌

A real impressive tribute to the man, Tom Jones.

I remember him as a singer when I was a kid in Subic, Zambales where me and my dad watched him performed he's truly a club filler...... Rest In Peace Samson 😌🌚

Never heard anyone sing a better TJ. dude is amazing!!!

I lived in the Philippines for a number of years and heard many wonderful singers.They are great at imitating others.

Proud to be a Filipino. Ang husay, mabuhay ka sir Sarono.👏👏

Exactly sounding like the real Tom Jones. Amazing! I am proud that he is a Filipino. It so sad, I did not know that he is dead.

Filipino Tom Jones, Filipino Elvis Presley, Filipino Humperdinck, Filipino Steve Perry, and many more. Filipinos really loves western music.

I worked with SAMSON his name when he was working on 1971, 1972 with Kiko Gatchalian and Hi's Coconut Groove Orchestra at Clark Airforce Base Angeles City, Philipines entertaming American troops during the Vietnam War.. he's a nice guy..really nice guy...sorry to hear that he passed away....Rest in peace SAMSON...
