First Time Hearing Tom Jones - Delilah Reaction Video (Ed Sullivan) - TOM IS CLEARLY A POWERHOUSE!! 

Tom is still going strong at 82, and his voice sounds great.

This is what real talent sounds like,thanks for playing I’m now 72 and brings back great memories

That section “I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more” used to be the ringtone I had for my mother in law…

Tom Jones is a Welsh singer who has one of the smoothest powerful voices around. And he was a showman too, in fact he was a big heart-throb with the ladies. He has so many hits such as "It's Not Unusual", "What's New Pussycat?", "Green, Green Grass of Home", "She's a Lady". He covers a lot of genres. He is still performing & is a coach on "The Voice" UK version. He also had a variety show from 69 - 71 & had some of the biggest music stars at the time.

No playback, no autotune, and he still singing today better than many modern "powerful" voices. He is my mother favourite singer. Sir Tom Johnes is a LEGEND.

So awesome. Tom is Welsh. Welsh singers usually have the best diction.

I'm 72 years old and this is music from my era and I love watching you younger folk. Checking out these songs for the first time and being. Just as blown away as me and my brothers and sisters were when we first. Heard this guy saying I just want to say. Thank you sincerely appreciate you not only with this song Delilah. But never gonna fall in love again. Great choices, great pics.

I love this man’s voice. I don’t care what he sings.

Ed Sullivan had a one hour variety show on Sunday nights. You "made it" when Sullivan booked you...comedians, singers, magic, acrobats and even puppets. It's where the Beatles first appeared on American TV.

Rock n roll fan here: Saw this man in a Vegas showroom around 2005. He sand this song w/o a microphone. His voice boomed! And he had to be in his 60s? Still the single most amazing vocal performance I have ever witnessed.

One of the most powerful voices.

Tom Jones had a weekly TV show in the late 60's and often performed duets with many of the top singers of the day. Many are on RU-vid. Janis Joplin, Wilson Pickett, Stevie Wonder, etc. An experience not equaled by today's television.

Notice how far he holds the mic!

Tom Jones’s voice was so powerful that he’s broken many microphones in the studio..the women used to go mad for his look…my mum used to love him..my dad wasn’t so happy about it 😂…great reaction..hope you watch more old stuff..there was less channels but better quality programs and stars ✌🏻🇬🇧

Remember our family sitting together watching toms shows my mother loved him

This was a sequel song to "I'll never fall in love again".....when it came out (yeah, I was around then) this was shocking and some radio stations weren't going to play this until he did it on the Ed Sullivan show! We were a little more innocent in those days...

Amazing vocals, sort of dark music, but very dark song especially for that time. Tom is amazing, he never disappoints.

What a powerful voice that man has, coupled with his passionate expression, those lyrics come from someplace way down deep in the heart. praise the Lord, thank you for music.

I noticed that the band conductor was dancing more than Tom was

Do you notice how far the microphone is from his face, his voice is so powerful that it doesn’t need to be so close or else it would be distorted

Tom J is arguably the best male singer of the 20th century. No one can compare with his power - Tom and Elvis were good friends. Incredibly, both nice humble guys.

The follow up to this song is Green green grass of home. Ties the story up nicely.

THE BEST TOM JONES SONG IS "I'M NEVER GONNA FALL IN LOVE AGAIN".

I also recommend watching and listening to Engelbert Humperdinck. He was at the top with Tom, had the same manager and was also from Great Britain. A very handsome man and also a great singer. The two singers are often compared, but Tom was more of a showman than Engelbert was.

The next you should do is The Green Green Grass of Home…. His a man on death row.

Italian gentlemen kept a blade in thier boot for just an occasion Firery Italians.

I've know this song since it came out, all my life, and I never realized it was a murder song. My man has some pipes!

Sir Tom Jones is amazing! If you have not already, you need to see him in his 80s on The Voice UK. Talk about class.

All I need to say is... "Live performance" Wow!

Tom is still touring! At 82. 83? I’m going to see him in concert in a few weeks. Can’t wait!

The conductor of the orchestra behind him is having quite a time too.

This is a murder ballad..actually quite common through the centuries...the traveling bards told stories in music and some were very descriptive..lol...even Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison Blues..'I shot a man just to watch him die '... The music is mariachi..Mexican..music... Tom was and remains hot material...no auto tune...his great voice had writers sending their best work...he still sings and coaches... Some ask who hurt him because his ability to emote made folks believe it was actual experience..however he had a long and loving marriage... 🌿🌿🌿

My mother loved Tom Jones... She had several of his albums, so I'm well acquainted with his singing and songs. .o0

Tom Jones wasn’t a songwriter but a great interpreter of songs. One of my favorites is She’s A Lady. My mother was totally ga ga over him.

His rhythm is incredible, as well. Thank you.

Bars and Barbells, What I love and never get tired of is watching you young ladies and gentlemen Appreciate this music for the first time cuz it reminds me of exactly how my brothers and sisters reacted the first time we heard Tom Jones Elvis Presley the righteous Brothers the four tops the drifters the platters and it's like reliving that experience through you I want to thank you so very very much! Eric Sahagun

❤ My dad used to play this record when I was growing up in the 70's.✌

Please listen and give us your reaction to, Tom Jones, Green Green Grass of Home. 👍.

❤❤❤ thanks for sharing. Keep going you guys are great.❤❤❤❤

If you wan to be totally blown away, react to Tom Jones and Janis Joplin, "Raise Your Hand". One of the highest energy duets you will ever see!

this song is sung in unison in pubs all over britain, very popular song

More Tom !!!

Another beast is Steve Perry, lead singer of Journey. Late 70s, early 80s.

He was and is, AMAZING.

You have to listen to the green green grass of home.

Very nice song such as powerful voice. Some other songs of his you might light are "whats New Pussycat"" and more 80's "Sexbomb""

Catch Sir Tom as a coach on The Voice UK - in his 80's, still has it.

In a way, I guess that you could consider his "Green, green grass of home" as a follow-up...😅

I too very much love the instrumentation I love that this time orchestras were used The marvelettes the ronettes would lay down their vocals and feel specter will say bye-bye and they go away and that he would bring in what was known as the WALL OF SOUND and when these people hurt their recording for the first time on the radio they themselves were blown away cuz all they laid down were their vocal tracks and then they heard this huge orchestration in the background which just makes it even that much more dramatic powerful and dynamic people fell in love not only with each other but with this music so glad you guys are appreciating what we already know is some of the best music ever done by some of the greatest artists ever known! "AND NO AUTO TUNE!"Oh and yet Sullivan show was not known for its colors The '60s became a colorful decade because of the hippie and psychedelic art!

What I like about this song is the contrast of a very dark story with a happy , festive music arrangement with outstanding vocals.

One of the hardest voice singer to duplicate,,,that was ""TOM JONES""He is really so rare among all greatest voice on earth ,,,so hard to copy him....❤❤❤❤

Tom is suave and sexy as hell, and he still is. That voice and those moves.

As a side ...Tom Jones continues to tell the story that when Tom Jones was performing in Las Vegas ( I think at THE DUNES ) or (Caesars Palace) Elvis ... his great friend sang a ballad to TOM while he was waiting for Tom to finish having a shower

Band sounded a little like Herb Alpert's band. Tom was on the brit version of the voice recently. Still singing in his eighties.

Great reaction, you two! Next stunning classic from him should be 'Without Love".

I remember watching this on the TV.

You should see him have fun with an old 3 Dog Night song, "Momma Told Me Not To Come".

Have you guys reacted to ''Only You'' by the Platters. Silky smooth lead vocalist and great harmony by the rest of the group and its one of the best love songs ever. Official version from the 1950's. PS- and he doesn't knife anyone LOL

Legend has it that Tom, when performing the high note in the theme song for "Thunderball," screamed so loud that something "broke" in his throat.

I love the orchestra director..

Love your channel guys, great reactions. How about more 60. 70 s music, that’s my time fame, I’m an old head. Beatles, Bee Gees, CCR, Grand Funk, Doobie bros. I’ll be watching

Trumpets, almost mariachi were made popular around that time by tracks such as Johnny Cash's 'Ring of Fire'

Great Reaction 👍🙏👣

The instrumentation is very of its time. Try THE GREEN GRASS OF HOME.

ВЕЛИКОЛЕПНЫЙ ПЕВЕЦ,БРАВО.БРАВО.БРАВО !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes he did say knife

I'm in my 60's I grew up listening to Tom Jones

Search Tom Jones singing "i'm never gonna fall in love again" Brilliant.

Hi there. This was made famous for the introduction of the mariachi band sound in chorus, plus Toms vocals.

Great reaction guys. Sir Tom was (and still is) a beast. A contemporary of his was (and still is) Englebert Humperdink. Same vibe. For something different, check out Fanny. I've suggested them a few time to other reaction channels but no-one has tried it yet. Fanny was the first 'all-girl' rock group to sign a contract and record. (this was late 60s-early 70s) They shattered the glass ceiling so groups like Heart, The Runaways, The Bangles, The Go-Gos, etc. could shine. So under-rated. If you chose to try them, use any of the 'Beat Club" videos. The sound is as close to live as you can get. I would suggest "Young and Dumb" to start but any of them will blow you away.

He was discovered by Gordon Mills in the UK music business. Jones' first release was 'Chills and Fever' a flop the this song brought him enourmous success. Another British singer I thought had a very similar voice and just as great was Tony Christie.

Go to The Voice UK...He still sings on the show...He's 81...💜

the music is based in Spain. he was a coal miner before a singer. sang in the mines while working. all chest voice, but what a chest voice!

The Ed Sullivan Show was live and always had time problems. Clearly they asked Tom to speed this up. It’s the fastest version ever. Here’s Tom doing it for the Queen’s Jubilee in front of about a million people: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zo2O5E9Ea9Y.html

You might also like Tom’s nemesis Englebert Humperdinck, he’s crooner like Tom, from roughly the same era.

If you want a chuckle, look up Jim Carrey Delilah and see his impersonation of Tom Jones. It’s hilarious. 🙂

This was during the time that Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass was up in the charts. Lots of brass and mariachi vibes. Sir Tom was in his hot period. Lots of women proposing all sorts of things to him before, during and after his shows. He had his own show and specialized in moving around the stage kissing the girls who came onstage.

Great reaction to Tom Jones!! you also have to check out another artist who came up with Tom under the same manager Gordon Mills is Engelbert Humperdinck. he is known as the king of romance. "A Man Without Love"is one of his greatest hits from his record catalog.

I love Tom Jones. My mother loved him. You guys should see him dance. My favorite is "I who have nothing". I have two suggestions Johnny Mathis and Nat King Cole.

Tom's vocals and the music often overshadow the meaning of the song. A woman who cheated with no remorse was stabbed to death by her man

Try Tom's rendition of I won't crumble if you fall on The Voice as a coach and watch the other 3 judge's reactions, almost adoration.

Very Mairachi band vibes.

Singers today can’t hold a candle to these stars of this time.

you really need to watch Tom Jones-Treat Her Right- This Is Tom Jones Show. if you really want to see tom being a beast.

I've said this before but this song although I absolutely love and really dig Tom Jones, it gives me O.J. Simpson vibes-lol. You two really should listen to "Green Green Grass Of Home". It's a song that's been done by a lot of people but his version is probably the best. It's also a song that you really need to pay attention to the lyrics to get the meaning of the song.

Tom became a big friend of Elvis. When first hearing Tom wouldn’t accept he was not African heritage.

I know it's hard to do, but if you can stop watching Tom Jones for a momment, check out the conductor. He's rockin' out!!

I think Sam would enjoy "What`s New Pussycat", it was the theme from a 1960s comedy film. With an expression typical of the `60`s period. You might also checkout another Welsh singer Dame Shirley Bassey, in particular two of the Bond themes she did, (Goldfinger) & (Diamonds Are Forever.)

You must have heard Tom sing Thunderball from the James Bond movie Thunderball.

Interestingly this is sung by the crowd at welsh rugby games and the welsh rugby authority tried to ban them from singing it because of those lyrics

Please if you get the opportunity listen to "With these hands" when Sir Tom Jones met Elvis Presley Elvis greeted him singing with these hands.

Fun Fact this is OJ Simpson's favorite song. lol That being said Love this song too, Tom is great and that live big band are just so good/epic here.

I do believe it's Gloryhammer that uses this song, plus a cardboard cutout of Tom Jones while the song plays.

You should watch Tom Jones on the voice UK he is about 75 years old

You might like his song, I won’t crumble, it’s a great song..

Ya'll should check out Marty Robbins; Big iron, El Paso, Feleena and El Paso City! you won't be disappointed. the final three are a trio off songs.

Coolest of the Cool!!🥰♥️

Tom is still a top tier singer. This was definitely 🔥🔥🔥🔥. What's New Pussycat is one of my favorites of his. Much more lighter than this great song.😀

I grew up watching and listening to Tom Jones from the 1960’s on. You know? Women used to throw their undies on stage when he performed live.

I miss when we had instruments including voices used as instruments. I wish we could at least have some songs with less mechanical enhancement.
