I am 65 years old and I know about music from many different decades. Sir Tom Jones is a legend who sang live with no auto tune. Justin Timberlake and Usher will never have the talent or careers that still exist from the real artists from the 60's 70's and early 80's. Sorry but the music of today is made for money not memories. Beyonce and the other so-called divas don't have 1/4 the talent of the wonderful Motown artists and the others who performed in the earlier decades. I'm glad you got the chance to experience Sir Tom Jones. He can still sing this way today. Will today's artists be able to sing live when they are 80?
67 here, and I can say Tom Jones can sing. Heck, he can still sing at 83? Just him and a microphone and a band. No autotune. I have always enjoyed hearing him sing. My grandma and Mom really liked his singing too.
@@nealmalik9142 He’s. Judge on the UK Voice and he often stands up and sings with no backing, with perfect pitch and power. He can and frequently does “ belt them out “ with great power and tone and emotion. 🙏👌💕
@@julialesleysheppard I was alive when Tom And the whole music of then the greatest of all times happened And Yes I know he is a judge on that dumb show ...... Which is only there to keep peoples attention on things like that show along with AGT ...... And not what is going on in the world of the controllers ...... It is called mind control ...... HOWEVER ...... I watched Tom Jones show live all the time back then ...... You see I saw him then and now {LIVE} ...... When he was younger and had that show ...... Tom could really belt out those songs ...... And Yes he still can ...... But not like then ...... Nobody could ...... Yes ...... Tom was great then ...... And he is one He** of a singer still ...... But not like he was then ....... PERIOD ...... No Brag ...... Just Fact .....
@@nealmalik9142.... i have also watch him live in 70's and again 7 years ago in his home town on both occasions. He sounded good then and still sounds good , that might have something to do with his vegas residency before his wife passed.
@@grandmabaddie Yes he still sounds good ...... HOWEVER ..... He had youth back then ..... And he did sound better then ..... He still sounds great ...... But like I said better youthful tone ....... Then ...... UNDERSTAND ..... It is only natural that he did as all people voice loses the youth sound .....
@dondelbiondo1258 They didn't make voices like that before Tom Jones either. I've never heard any other singer with a voice like Tom Jones unrivalled in power and range. A tenor range with that rich, powerful baritone sound even in his upper register.
MORE TJ! Can't get enough!!! Would love for you to react to several of his live performances... like his outstanding power ballad "I Who Have Nothing" that he did on his TV show, This Is Tom Jones; his collab with Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young on their song "Long Time Gone"; his duet and dancing with Janis Joplin in "Raise Your Hand"; his medley with Little Richard; his performance of Paul Anka's "Papa"; and his duet with John Farnham, rocking a cover of AC/DC's "It's A Long Way To The Top [If You Want To Rock And Roll]." Tom does all genres... classic rock to old standards, blues to jazz, reggae to rap, country to funk to pop to R&B to soul, and more. No matter the song or style, or his age through a six-decade career, those pipes, his incredible power, his superlative control, his absolute finesse, as well as his passion, presence, moves, and swag, have made him a legend. I can't think of another singer who has that same combination and is so authentically masculine that it captivates women so, and, at the very least, impresses all kinds of listeners with that voice. He is well respected by other singers and musicians, including the likes of Stevie Wonder, Celine Dion, Van Morrison, Jennifer Hudson, and many more. (The singer depicted on your T-shirt, for instance, was absolutely wowed by Tom and was not only one of Tom's greatest fans, but became a close friend!). Tom Jones has had many hits, like "Delilah," "Green Green Grass Of Home," "Thunderball," and "Sexbomb," to name a few. Would love to have you explore more of what this talented, entertaining, and charming showman and singer offers. Maybe I'm biased, since he is my favorite singer, but my devotion is well-deserved. No matter what he sings, fast songs or slow, Tom knows just how to reach me. He truly makes me melt. Sing to me, Tom!
Tom and Elvis were friends - and there is a great duel between them singing this song! And there are also some interviews with Tom, where he talks about Elvis.
In his 80's, the man can still saang! And when Sir Tom sings, you believe him. So glad you discovered, and enjoy, this - definitely check out more , you won't be disappointed.
He can still sing this song. There is a video of him singing this on The Voice with the son of the man who wrote this song for Tom. Check it out. He is 83 and still sounds great.
The son was Peter donagon his dad was lonnie.he was a skifel artist. It was quite emotional since Lonnie who was a friend had passed and Tom's wife had passed a couple years before.
I was born in 53 and was around for the greatest decades in music ever. I watched Tom Jones TV show, all the Elvis specials and tons of other talents. Back then there were real variety shows and real talent.
Sir Tom Jones is still with us and his career continues with albums and as a Judge on the UK Voice. And he only turns for exceptional voices. As a child he was ill with TB and bedridden for 2 years where he could only listen to music and Elvis Presley was his idol. . He met Elvis in 1965 on the set for the Elvis movie, Paradise,Hawaiian Style. He said “ I first met Elvis when he was getting out of a helicopter, came walking towards me, singing one of my songs!” He couldn’t believe had even heard of him, let alone knew his song. They stayed good friends from then on. Elvis knew talent when he heard it. Tom was a singer from Wales and still sings beautifully today. He has his son as his manager, saying that it’s meant he’s always stayed relevant with his music because of his son. Like Elvis, Tom sings with his heart and soul. Listen to him sing “ I won’t crumble if you fall” from his latest album. It is to honour his wife who he lost to cancer and it will make you cry. Glad you d found him. He has had such an awesome career and is a lovely man. 🙏👌💕
Oh, the memories... This takes me way back. 'Jones the voice' (as to distinguish him from all the hundreds of thousands of other Welshmen named Jones - our milkman was Jones the milk) was one of my grandmother's favourites. As soon as he came on the radio, she signalled us to be silent so she could swoon in peace! Married his high school sweetheart when they were both 16 (because she fell pregnant) and they stayed married until her death, despite Tom's many um... exploits... with his groupies... One of the best natural singers of his generation, but then he is Welsh, so it's in his genes...
He had his own TV show back in the day and he did many, many duets with some of the greatest singers of all time. But first, another solo from this guy that will show you how dangerous he was, and still is apparently. He has ruined tons of marriages - even when he was never present, mind you. Ok I made that last part up, but if watch him perform Treat Her Right from his show, you will see that no doubt he could snap his fingers and that young mother would be gone in a second. Treat Her Right. Hang on for the ride!
He is a coach on The Voice UK.So don't call him old. He can still sing.Now you can see why he is a coach on the show and the other coaches are in awe of him. So don't judge he his not from the US he is from Wales in Great Britain.
Tom Jones is now 84 and still touring to this day. With his really strong powerful voice. He was also a friend of Elvis. Plus is is from a South Wales UK...
I was at his concert some years ago. He was in his mid seventees at the time, the age of the audience was 20 -80 years old with majority in 20-40 age group. Bras and panties were still thrown onto the stage, and I am not talking granny knickers.
Just to think he was bed bound aged 12-14 for two years with TB.. He was a close friend of Elvis 🤩 Sir Tom is welsh from the UK, he had a show on 📺 where he sang with numerous stars 🤩 you should listen to The Tom Jones 📺 show he had lots of big stars on the show with him .. 👍🏻🤩🏴
Real talent. Performing live with no auto tune, old timey microphone, and no stopping. Elvis thought Tom Jones had the best voice in the music business at that time.
One of the most beautiful baritones I've ever heard! His voice is a gift! Tom Jones is a little before my time, but I remember my sister telling me about one of his concerts...women in the audience would throw their panties onto the stage! Seriously. 😎✌
His voice pierces my heart. Like all women, I fall in love with the song, his voice, his singing and his stage craft. Watch any reaction to this by any female. We are defenseless when hit with this from Tom Jones.
Again, like with Elvis, I love watching you react for the first time to amazing performances like this one I have known since Tom made this classic so long ago. And love your new found respect for him.
Now that you have seen this video, go to the Voice and find the video where he sings this same song the EXACT same way!! 60 years apart and you can not tell the difference!!
Tom Jones is 83 years old and was one of my HEART throbs back in the day. Another was ENGLEBERT HUMPERDINCK (yes, that's a real name). We had some of the BEST voices in the business back then. It was a great time to be young. Please share more Tom Jones! You'll be blown away by his moves in "Treat Her Right".
And you should have seen him perform in person. Elvis appealed to teens when he was young but all ages of women stood up on their chairs at the Ft. Worth Convention Center when I saw him in 1974……Sir Tom Jones ALWAYS puts his heart and soul into every song he has ever sung. Catch up, fellow….I have never heard of YOU.
I quite simply love your show, I find you to be an empathetic, loving and beautiful human. I love Tom Jones and I wasn't born when most of his songs were in the charts in the UK. Please listen to green green grass of home if you want to hear more Tom Jones. Thanks for your shows. Take care. Love from Scotland x
Dear, you are mistaken when you say that only women listen to and admire Tom Jones. At the beginning of the 2000s, a survey was conducted that showed that he had more male fans than females. He married his first love when he was 16 years old and she was 15, and lived with her all his life and buried her in his old age. I recorded the song “You are my world” in memory of her. Very beautiful soulful song!
Just saw your reaction to Tom Jones. Please , please watch the video where he judges a young man last name of Donegan. I absolutely guarantee that you will be blown away.
You are officially forgiven by this Old Guy, dude! 🙂 Now for Delilah (live on the Ed Sullivan Show), "Treat Her Right" live on the Tom Jones Show, about 1969..Your penance has begun! *BOL* Enjoy!!
Tom Jones & Elvis was good friens, but never sing together, but there is a video that mixes theris voices ath this song, that you should n😀ot miss! Also you have to react to Tom Jones video that remembers how he met Elvis , thas so funny!
Elvis admired Tom hugely. They met in the early 60’s and were great friends. Elvis said Tom helped him to become confident to take the stage in Vegas after so long away from live performing while he made his movies. They went on holidays together with their wives and Tom still talks today of his friendship with Elvis. Imagine a duet with them both. We can only imagine as Parker never allowed anyone to sing duets with Elvis. 👌💕🕺
@CVTECK1 Hi CV, Elvis and Tom were Close Friends, they were Neighbors in the late 60's when Elvis was making Movies in Hollywood. They would get together at each others house's and Jam together, they and their Families even Vacationed together. Tom sang a Tribute Song about Elvis Called "Elvis Presley Blues" there's a music Video on RU-vid.
YOU LIKE IT OR NOT THERE WAS NO AUTO-TUNE ON THOSE DAYS I WAS ONLY FOUR YEARS OLD WHEN THIS SONG CAME OUT. NOW YOU KNOW WHY WOMEN THROW THEIR PANTIES. YOU SEEM LIKE YOU WANTED TO THROW YOUR UNDER WEAR TO HIM.
Back in the day they had little mikes because they had artist with BIG voices...LOL!!! But really u they knew how to belt it out..Not like today's ( So called music) So called artist today totally stink..No comparison to back in the day...
