Envy you. The hey hey rendition is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. Saw it live on TV at the time. Have watched it so many times since.
I saw that when it was first aired. I've always been a fan of John Farnham's voice, amazing control and range, but Sir Tom just blew him away...John looked awestruck, which would be rare for him with his voice (and poor Darryl Somers, who can sing quite well, was just nowhere at all in the presence of these two masters)
My thanks to those who posted here who recognize that BOTH are consummate artists, BOTH with unique and beautiful voices, and that BOTH enrich our lives with their music, individually and together. Beautiful!
“Don’t ask where Tom Jones voice comes from! It continues in the beyond. . . His voice straddles the steps of the threshold. . . . All truly great singers have passed it. . . . There the wordless voice of the dead begins, which says the things that only the language of the dead can say. Jones' singing is the last language of the living, the language of the threshold! You come here to try to listen there, beyond. . . . Listen. . . .”
Two of the Best Live vocalist that you will ever hear...I have seen them both live and they are the ultimate professionals...Great Vocalist and Even Better Personalities..Thank You :)
Keep an eye out for an emerging mature age Aussie tenor, Vito Montforte. There are tentative plans for him to perform at the Sydney Opera House in January 2025 and Yiddishe Momme is one of the songs he will perform, two others are L' Donne Mobile and I'll Walk with God. I expect he will also perform O Sole Mio and Nessum Dorma and Surriento. I get goose bumps when I hear Vito perform O Sole Mio and Ciao Ciao Bambina which he sings with such passion and emotion. Vito has no internet presence yet, but a website for him will be uploaded soon. Possibly in September 2024.
