He was killing it in that suit! And the way he snaps his fingers is even cool. This man is a living legend and still sounds and looks great in his 80s. My mom loved him back in the day - along with 300+ million other girls on the planet. So thanks Tom, for not taking my mom when I was little. She prob would've dropped us like a hot potato if he said to her, "let's go". He was a dangerous man. One look at him performing, Treat Her Right, on his tv show will show you that could ruin any family in the world he wanted to. Did he? IDK. But if I had a young wife back then, she would not be going to one of his shows - no way. To risky. Now-a-days? Go right ahead sweetheart. I'll buy you front row seats. 😂😂
Hey Gen Z girl!! Your reaction is spot on!! The look on your face echos every girl back in the day. No auto tune no special effects, nothing. Just his voice, talent, a microphone and a good orchestra behind him. That's all he needed.
This and maybe unchained melody by Bobby Hatfield of the Rightious Brothers who sang it live on the Andy Williams show in 1965. If you ant to know why they called the Rightious Brothers blue eyed soul, check out Bobby singing summertime.
Your reaction cheered me up after a very bad week. Thank you for that. Tom was a friend of my family and my uncle Reggie used to perform with Tom before Tom made it HUGE. He used to come to my Nan's house when I was a toddler and before I was born. When he was gigging in clubs in Wales, he used to come to visit my family. Then he became so big that I guess he was so busy that he could no longer visit. We don't blame him though. We're just happy that he got the career and life that he deserves. He is a great man in real life as well as on stage.
The problem with bringing this style of singing back is that there aren't that many who have the talent, skills and ability to sing and perform that well. Besides. the music industry is only interested in money, not real talent. So, they'll grab on to anything that can make them more money and force it on the music buying public. Another to listen to is Linda Ronstadt. What an amazing voice she had. Sadly, her voice was taken away with Parkinson's Disease.
There are multiple times the number of people on the planet now as there were in the 1960s. This implies that the issue is one of consumer demand for this type of music, not of the potential supply of talent.
My Dad asked my Mom one year what she wanted for Christmas. When she said a Tom Jones album he just shook his head. We wrapped an Album. And put it in a big box with stuff on top. She was happy for the other gifts but when she found the album at the bottom her face lit up. It was one of those memorable moments. ❤
I grew up with Tom. He was gorgeous, and he had a great voice. But listening to him now, I realize that is one outstanding voice. And no Auto-tune back then!!!!! My Mom and I didn't miss a single episode of "The Tom Jones Show" Ran 65 episodes 1969-1971. It's awesome how much you loved it--this is way-back music. But Tom had a way of making people love him. Luv ya, Girl!!!
First of all, your facial expressions showed that your emotions were all over the place. I truly loved your reaction because it was so genuine. I grew up listening to Tom. I was about ten the first time that I ever saw him on TV and later he got his own weekly show. I didn't start to appreciate his music until I was around thirteen, but I hadn't heard this song until I started listening to the reactions on RU-vid. My mouth was hanging open and I was speechless, so I totally get it!
As a lifelong fan of Tom Jones your reaction is spot on and as someone who saw him in person he was (and still is) very good looking!! He’s in his 80’s now and still sounds this good!! Love your reactions!!
another great performer from that same time period would be Barry White singing I can't get enough of your love, both Tom Jones and Barry had incredable voices.
Sir Tom‘s ability to hold a note for an extended time was one of the reasons he was asked to sing the title song for the James Bond movie „Thunderball“. He actually performed this song (Never Falling in Love Again)live on Britians got Talent with the son of the songs writer playing piano on his own audition. Tom said he remembered his father well. Check it out as it‘s also on utube. Cheers
Tom Jones was unbelievably talented, and handsome. I was no loser when I was young but this guy was off the charts. I could maybe be a backup singer behind him. but this dude kills vocals, and was so attractive to everyone. I am ok, God
I love your reaction. For more if Tom Jones try these great songs. DETRIOT CITY, (WITHOUT LOVE) I HAVE NOTHING, and the theme from the James Bond movie, Thunderball. Enjoy
There is a newer version out there that is a duet. It is very emotional. It's Tom and the son of the man that wrote the song. I think it is on Britain's Got Talent. It is a must watch.
Tom Jones & Elvis both were singing in Las Vegas in the 1970's into 1977 & they use to do 2 shows a night..........so going 2 Las Vegas when they were there, was a thrill like u can't imagine..................probably the 2 greatest solo artists in history....at the peak of their vocals powers........ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hSGa-VvV9yM.htmlsi=UtCt0V9my5uWkmo5
My mother who never went anywhere by herself, we were a poor family with six kids in the 60s and 70s, but my mother went with her sister and cousins to see Tom Jones in concert. It was a big big big deal
My favourite song by him…takes me back to freezing nights in early 1968 taking dog for night walk in the moonlight and this song resonating in my head…I was 12……
Damn I was like seven years old and he was on his own tv show and my mother loved him I would sneak out of my room to watch him he sings every song with passion I saw him in Ottawa brought my kids and loved it even today at his age he can still sing seeing him sing with jenifer Hutson man she is good too and together. Love love the man.
I will definitely give Tom Jones his props.. he was amazing.. Elvis is still my #1.. Tom and Elvis were apparently good friends.. I was just raised on Elvis from my Mom... Dad liked Tom Jones because he was Welsh and Dad was Welsh... personally I love both their voices but Elvis was so much more handsome to me.. when he grinned and those cheek bones came out and his blue eyes sparkled.. Lord have Mercy... the man was perfection lol.. I melt ... and he died when I was 10... I love watching old videos of them both.. love good music
That man was a huge sex symbol and a Playa😂. My mom was old enough to be my grandma, and when I was a little girl, I remember her watching his show. She had a mad crush on that Welsh crooner. He has an amazing voice with beautiful tone, dynamics, and vibrato. His loud high notes sound like he was operatically trained. You should see the duet he and Janis Joplin did. He was mesmerized by her because that woman's dirty blues rock voice blew his mind.
If only Tom could see your smile! He'd love it. He lives to sing and get the kind of response you gave. Such a rich, passionate, powerful, unmistakeable, and moving voice. And he IS one beautiful, masculine figure of a man! Thank you for your reaction.
Sir Tom is a legend, even in his 80's he does the voice UK, his best friend, is Wil I Am, they were going to ax, Sir Tom, wil said if Tom no doing he not, its worth watching Sir tome sing with jenifer hudson, Also, this song was written for Sir Tom by lony donnigan (spell check), his has passed, his son came on the voice UK, only Tom turned, but they sang a improt duet of this song, wirtten by peter lonigan;s father for Sir Tom, wonderful moment check it out
You young people have the power to bring all this good stuff back. Just go out there and perform. Learn music. Practice. Take it seriously and perform. You don't have to go to university to learn this. Tom Jones was a working guy who liked to sing. Same thing with Elvis.
OK Princess you LOVE Tom Jones as you should and now we need you to follow this up with something just as Magnificent. Search for The Righteous Brothers sing Unchained Melody LIVE on the Andy Williams Show. Dont waste time Princess I cant wait for your reaction. You will be Mesmerized , You will be in Tears.
Hi Ms. Princess, U are correct, I think this is one of the Best Live Performances ever.. The ladies at his shows, threw things onto the stage.. I think U should also review "Treat Her Right" by Mr. Tom, he sings and dances and kisses some ladies.. ♠Mr.G..
He was married to the same woman for 59years. When was someone supposed to tear his heart apart? Granted he's been known as a womanizer, but that doesn't usually involved the heart. Bottom line is, he was/is an incredible talent.
This song was about his girlfriend at the time cheating on him at the time this came in 1967 great song a song that comes from the heart unlike most music of today you should reaction too the late john miles its song music you should give it a listen too
Tom Jones & Elvis were great friends. They would sing Gospel when they were together. Tom's manager said that on one tour, Tom had over 2,000 pairs of panties thrown on stage.
LOL. I get a kick seeing these younger people react to the music I listened to most of my life. I was born in 53 and was lucky to live in the era of the best music and talent there ever was. There was so much talent back then it's hard to pick a favorite. Today the so called music sucks. Rap isn't music. Rappers talk. That's not singing. No wonder these young people are shocked by the music of Tom Jones, Elvis and all the others. Those young people had no clue what really good music was.
