I saw Tom performing live on TV here in the UK recently when Tom was 82 years old. He looked and sounded amazing. If I make it to that age, I would be pleased to look half as good as Sir Tom. Great reaction by the way, your facial expressions said it all. Well done. 👍
Tom is now 81/82 years of age and has been a judge/mentor on The Voice UK since it began and he still tours! A fun fact for you if you don’t already know is that Tom’s first song recorded 2 years before this (1965) is the song that CARLTON dances to in Fresh Prince Of Bel Air! The song, It’s Not Unusual And for something very different from both these songs search Tom Jones Burning Hell a cover of the blues legend John Lee Hooker’s song which he recorded for an album in 2011.
Dear Tom, Still going strong well into his eighties. A popular judge on the Voice UK. His voice sounds the exact same now.....and he's still handsome in his eighties with his lovely grey hair, beard and twinkle in his eye
You should watch Tom Jones at 80 yrs. old singing with Lonnie Donegan's son Peter on The Voice UK singing "I'll Never Fall in Love Again". Tom can still sang!!
"GREEN GREEN GRASS OF HOME" is another track with Sir Tom Jones that was constantly playing on the radio, back in 1967. The fact that he can still belt them out at age 81 is beyond remarkable!
Enjoying this with you again bro, Tom was just about 18 months into his career when singing this, watching this in ‘23 and Tom is now 82 and he is touring the UK this summer. And it’s interesting, if you said Tom Jones to I guess a lot of Americans they might say “who” BUT if you said instead “Carlton’s dance” you’d likely get a very different response because yes Carlton in Fresh Prince Of Bel Air danced to Tom’s first ever hit record It’s Not Unusual, much love to you and yours bro from Tom’s homeland Wales 🏴 UK 🇬🇧😊
The House Song and Without Love which I think is his best and so does He. I got hooked when I was I think 12 when he came out with Green Green Grass of Home. Amazing voice.
I went to a Tom Jones concert in London around 1975 when he appeared on stage I thought my future mother in law was going to have a seizure! He was truly amazing!
I remember watching Tom Jones on his tv show in the late 60's. He was pure magic. I had several favorite songs at the time. The only one I can think of was" A long came Jones." Good reaction Chad.
Very soulful singing. Was a big Vegas draw for years, and if I'm not mistaken, I think he was one of the first performers to have women literally throw their panties on stage at him. I had a crush on him when he had his variety show back in the early 70s, but I was just a little kid then.
Such a crooner Tom is (and so very easy on the eyes). My friend and I took my mom (he’s her favorite) to one of his concerts. The women were throwing their panties onto the stage (something that was common place at his concerts). My mom loved it and was so smitten - actually my friend and I were too!
He put on an incredible concert, too! His performance was as good or better than anything you heard in studio. Speaking of the microphone thing, Chad, I actually witnessed Reba McIntyre DO just that! Acapella and sans mic, she stood on the edge of the stage and sang the National Anthem. It sounded as if she was right in front of you and it was breathtaking!! I'll never forget it! 🥲🇺🇸❤
Hello! Exciting that I am one of the first to comment on your reaction. What a poignant song for me. Thank you for reacting to this one. I look forward to your reactions and comments on all these wonderful "oldies".
New to your channel Chad and I've subscribed because I like reactors who let the artist perform without too many interruptions and you did just that. BTW did you know 1967 was known as the summer of love here in the UK and I firmly believe it was because we had great performers and songs at that time. No auto tuning then! Also I met my lovely husband of 53 years in one of the many dance halls here in Northern Ireland. We had the Irish showbands then and the talent was unbelievable!! Check out Joe Dolan here on RU-vid. ❤️
bit more than a crooner ... he had soul! I think this, Delilah and Green Green Grass of Home are like a life story. A women does him wrong, he turns into a stalker/slasher and then ends up executed! Just whimsy but hey, it makes you think.
Please do his song "Raise your hands" with Janis Joplin. I sent you the link a while ago. No crooning in that one. WILD! I mentioned Lonnie Donnegan and sent you a link to one of his songs "Does your chewing gum lose it's flavor on the bedpost overnight" just FYI, quite a while ago when The Bee Gees did his song "My old man's a dustman" in their early 1963 video. As you mentioned, he wrote this song as well. He wrote a real variety of music.
Susie Q - I know a lot about the Bee Gees, as you obviously do, but I had no idea that Lonnie Donegan co-wrote this brilliant song & performance by Sir Tom, thanks.
@@mickc7388 - Lonnie was a helluva good and funny performer who performed for decades, mostly in British music halls. He took diverse styles of music from vaudeville, jazz, R&R, folk, you name it and gave them new interpretations as well as writing his own stuff. The Bee Gees, The Beatles and all kinds of artists were influenced by him. He created what was called "skiffle" and all kinds of groups that followed started by playing his music and style. I also noticed in the recent movie about Judy Garland that Lonnie was represented. She asked him to go on in her place and cover for her when she was too upset. Cheers.
