The balls it takes to do these duets with legends back in the day. And Tom was unintimidated. He knew he had the chops and the grove to not only hold his own but make it better.
I think this is the benefits of coming from a foreign country at the time, they didn’t care about being barred from a prejudiced audience because they could tell them to kick rocks and they’ll go somewhere else.
Soul music singers are born wherever they want. Even in Pontypridd, Wales. This white boy's got deep, deep soul. And the whole world will always be grateful to him.
Both Ray and Tom could sing all styles...blues, jazz, rock, soul, r&b and country...and sing it live. These two men were/are great artists that will be remembered forever.
He may have been born in Wales but he has New Orleans dna running through his veins! Love the way he interprets a song, utterly soulful and flawless for the last 60 years. The guy is so in his element doing what comes naturally, just oozes class. I feel blessed to have grown up watching and listening to Sir Tom from the 1960's.
and the thing is the guy is a damn good peoples he got over looked because wimmen threw themselves at an on shit I was jealous too back in the day but the guy is for real
What a joy to watch these TH-cam clips of This is Tom Jones TV Series, who knew the Genius Ray Charles sang so beautifully with Sir Tom Jones. 100% entertain and it's much fun to see these great performers so young and talented and in the prime of their other-earthly TALENT.
Tom is no giant -- maybe among the white singers, but definitely not among Blacks. (It never sounds authentic when whites try to sing like Blacks --- they try to hard.) Cracks me up how whites are always looking for a white person who's as talented as Blacks. You guys are pitiful. Tom is no giant next to Ray -- Ray dwarfs him. Tom was no songwriter or even a good musician. He also copied the singing style of Black singers, ( he said it himself). On the other hand, Charles wrote a string of hits that will last into eternity, and he had his own style of singing, it wasn't copied.
He recognized greatness and met it with his own. Another - the best of the best knew how great Tom Jones was. And still is - on tour again starting June 9 and did a stunning performance of I Won't Crumble If You Fall at D-Day 80.
Is is just so ridiculously good!! Both in fine form and you can tell their goal here is not to show off....but to respect and perform well together. And they NAILED IT!!! Thanks so much for posting!!!!!
Tom Jones's regular speaking voice in his natural welsh accent and his singing voice are so MASSIVELY different, it's insane to imagine any of his music comes from him when he's just casually speaking.
Con mis disculpas a mi amado Sir Tom Jones, porqué crees tú que no lo entiende algunas personas. Hablas del amor que es algo sublime y de pérdida como sino la hubiese tenido nadie más, aprende a expresarte bien sin quedar como ignorante porque aquí solo hay calidad no cantidad. Calidad en todo, entiendes? Sorry Sir Tom Jones ❤️
Saw Sir TJ in my country of PR in 1969 and he was amazing. The best part was when I went to a piano bar the week after his show where he stopped for a drink and everyone was still talking about how nice and considerate he was to everyone,he spent hours singing and parting with everyone. Had the pleasure of seeing RC in the 90’s and by pure luck ran into him and his body guard and he was as kind as anyone. Like my father used to say they don’t make them like that anymore. God bless them both and thanks for the video.👏👏
@@tomjonesprivate4520 Omg is it really you! My Aunt was huge fan and my Mom some of my sweetest memories of them how they danced clapped and smiled ear to ear when The Tom Jones Show was on.Thank you Sir Tom for your gift of music and that voice ❤
I Need to unhear these duets!!! They are ruining me. I'm a classically trained musician, and everyone is SOO good, and I mean everyone, I don't think I can sleep.
Two of my favorites together, love the harmony Tom and Ray; UNDERSTANDABLY awesome!!! Both shone 😎 brightly! One gripe: session too short! Jones, you are a one of a kind Gem!
This content is culturally significant. Posting it on TH-cam will ensure that future generations will have access to it and appreciate it. Thank you for sharing it.
Beutiful!! Two all time greats....different genres but still no flaws, great voices, great songs...and all i can say , these two have a lot of wow factor. WOW!!
Absolutely stunning. Ray on the keyboard...both voices divine in their own way. All these absolute true legends that Tom sang with and he always held his own ..but was always respectful to allow them shine also. Love it.
Talent unparalleled in 2020. I dont care how good 2020 entertainers are but its very rare for any of them to parallel these 60's entertainers. Singing without autotune or any other voice enhancing gadget, most singers of that era played some sort of instrument.
Most of them need dancers and other distractions. These guys lead with their voices and unique flavors, Elvis Presley too. Stood there with his band and just went off, beautiful!
Ray Charles, Tom Jones, and Elvis could sing any song given to them and master it the first time. When any of these men sing you recognize their voice immediately and then sing along. Thank you for sharing your talent with us!!
I grew up with variety shows in the 70's. I'm seeing your show for the first time though, and I love it!! You two are wonderful in this. Love your voices together! Thank you so much for sharing this with everyone 😘🤗
I began watching "The Voice" U.K. on TH-cam last year and rediscovered Sir Tom Jones whose music I enjoyed so much in my youth. At the age of 80 he looks great and still has a powerful voice. He has truly been blessed.
This is one of my top 5 videos in TH-cam, I see it around once a month and AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALWAYS gets me a stellar vibe to my senses, super good feeling, this really blows my mind!!!!!! ;)))) Always, All the Time!!!!
*SIR Tom Jones* 🎶🎵💪🎤🏆Que bellos momentos y que lindas canciones . Gran dueto...Mucha nostalgia. TOM JONES ERES UNA MEGA ESTRELLA . THE BEST Saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱😷
@@susanhawkes2519 I'm not Welsh, but I was born singing too. Lol. I guess I get it honest because I was born about 2 miles from Elvis Presley in Tupelo Mississippi.
The singing in this era was musically phenomenal and powered, such an array of strong voices, todays talents need the songs to sing, we need to encourage the tradition of songwriters. When Ray tells you to "sing son" you shouldn't need telling twice ;)
Increíble ver tan buena música hecha justo el año en que nací..y que afortunadamente no me la he perdido..Tom Jones eres lo máximo.. y a dúo con El Sr Ray Charles, se puede pedir más?
So Good! Tom Jones and Ray Charles don't 'compete' - they compliment each other, stylish
They knew he had that amazing voice. That can’t be denied. Plus he was always so polite. A true gentleman.❤
People forget that Tom Jones is a great soul singer. There are clips all over the net of him performing with his heroes and he always holds his own.
Great duets with Van Morrison, too..
True
Look up his duet with Janis Joplin. Dayum!
Yes! I just realized today he’s white 😂
Tom Jones is no joke! One of greatest artists in world! Can sing any song with anybody!
AND YOU KNOW THAT'S RIGHT
The balls it takes to do these duets with legends back in the day. And Tom was unintimidated. He knew he had the chops and the grove to not only hold his own but make it better.
Tommy=powerhouse!
White folks want so badly to be as talented as Blacks. 😁😁😁
Tom Jones..
My momma Not! Yo momma just thought he was The man! Still is. Ty Tom Jones
I think this is the benefits of coming from a foreign country at the time, they didn’t care about being barred from a prejudiced audience because they could tell them to kick rocks and they’ll go somewhere else.
Exacto y siempre se sentía cómodo con la raza negra y ellos con el y en aquel tiempo ⏱️
Tom Jones is STILL...holding his OWN!!!.. HE'S BADASS!!...
✌️❤️😎😍👍👍
Soul music singers are born wherever they want. Even in Pontypridd, Wales. This white boy's got deep, deep soul. And the whole world will always be grateful to him.
Ray Charles has one of the greatest voices ever and the way his fingers dance over the piano keys, incredible talent.
Anyone else just go down a rabbit hole of Tom Jones videos? 😂
there right now, Wilson Pickett I really like
Yep I did 😂
Yes 🙌!!
Chasing that white rabbit with ya'll.
Yep, me too, he's addictive.
Golden age of music. No one today sings like this.
Both Ray and Tom could sing all styles...blues, jazz, rock, soul, r&b and country...and sing it live. These two men were/are great artists that will be remembered forever.
The way they both harmonize for "Cryin' Time" is incredible.
TWO LEGENDS, TWO MONSTERS!!! What an AMAZING performance, flawless harmony and vocal arrangement!!!
Awesome
@@annmariesofori9810 Том Джонс это ИКОНА вокала, ему не надо стесняться
..ему похуй...он зе бест
I would have described them as two legends, two giants and two titans of music.
Tom could sing with anybody , incredible Ray & Tom !
@Robin Patrice Thanks for asking , i am fine .
Yes Tom could lay it down! Very soulful man and of course Ray goes without saying.
@Robin Patrice I'm me
But anybody is not Ray.
@@jfpary7336 Ray and Tom are incredible in their own individual right . You just being a stickler !
I drop the MIC! This is soo special. There aren't many of any performances like this anymore. What a treasure. 😸
"Amazing" how these two great singers' souls click. They sound 'alike'. The perfect duet. Long live music. It can bring all people together.
@Carlos De Leon/ AMEN !!!!
Thanks for your sincere compliment 💋I’m not complete without you as my Fan 🌹🎻 I have you to be most thankful for 🎻🎻🌹
If you think that's something, check out Mr. Jones' song, "The Lonely One." It's straight from the Ray Charles blueprint!
He may have been born in Wales but he has New Orleans dna running through his veins! Love the way he interprets a song, utterly soulful and flawless for the last 60 years. The guy is so in his element doing what comes naturally, just oozes class. I feel blessed to have grown up watching and listening to Sir Tom from the 1960's.
and the thing is the guy is a damn good peoples he got over looked because wimmen threw themselves at an on shit I was jealous too back in the day but the guy is for real
Memphis dna
"Tom" means Soul in Scottish . Ray ain't to bad either
@@leonardodalongisland Ray is soul. Tom mimics soul. 😂 Tom sings american music buddy, not British.
@@joshfrick5144 Josh, yes, Ray is Soul..so is Tom. Perhaps you've heard of "Blue-eyed soul."
What a joy to watch these TH-cam clips of This is Tom Jones TV Series, who knew the Genius Ray Charles sang so beautifully with Sir Tom Jones. 100% entertain and it's much fun to see these great performers so young and talented and in the prime of their other-earthly TALENT.
Ray Charles singing and playing the piano without sight is next level.
Level God
Tom's performances with the greats will be his legacy because he is a giant himself among them.
Tom is no giant -- maybe among the white singers, but definitely not among Blacks. (It never sounds authentic when whites try to sing like Blacks --- they try to hard.) Cracks me up how whites are always looking for a white person who's as talented as Blacks. You guys are pitiful.

@@loriannrichardson7644 jajajajajaja
Tom has always been confident in his singing chops & to share them with legendary artists was always over the top.
He recognized greatness and met it with his own. Another - the best of the best knew how great Tom Jones was. And still is - on tour again starting June 9 and did a stunning performance of I Won't Crumble If You Fall at D-Day 80.
Wow, Tom Jones had a helluva show back in the day
Yeah. Years ago 😅
Jesus...
if there were two that could sing together fantastically...
you’ve just seen it!
I am wondering who may have clicked on thumbs down???????? These Artist are the story of music. Two great Artists ❤
Racists
yeah who are these 46 dummies who had the gal to give this a thumbs down? mind boggling.
KKK.
@@feefee71 WTF? I'll settle for cretins, but why bring race into it? It's music that's up for discussion, not your political agenda.
God forgive them
The rollercoaster of styles that is this medley: top notch, mama mia! Two amazing, out-there singers. Pure energy!
Two legends unmatched today.
Ray is always the leader. Quincy Jones and Frank Sinatra both said this .
Tom Jones also equals SUPERSTAR!
This is absolutely beautiful from 2 great legends and such a pleasure to listen to wow!!!❤️💕
! TOM. Y. RAY. ! DOS. GRANDES. DE. LA. MÚSICA. , Y. FABULOSOS. INTÉRPRETES. !!! FUERA. DE. SERIE. !!!
Unbelievable how they are so in tune with each other, so beautiful.
Thanks for your sincere compliment , I’m not complete without you as my Fan 🌹🎻 I have you to be most thankful for 🎻🎻🌹
Wow! Thanks for all the wonderful music you have given us!
@@tomjonesprivate4520 are you really Tom Jones?
@@daddyalpha2648 no he is not...he responds to almost everyone on this thread...so unfair to think tom answered their message
it requires deep music knowledge from both of them to get each other in tune like this and what it seems it was spontaneous and not rehearsed
Is is just so ridiculously good!! Both in fine form and you can tell their goal here is not to show off....but to respect and perform well together. And they NAILED IT!!! Thanks so much for posting!!!!!
Awesome performance, Tom! You & Ray are legends, no doubt!
The real voice...
There is no other than you, Sir Thomas Jones...
May the Lord Almighty gives you the place ...
Tom Jones has a blended voice, that blends well with other voices. From jazz, the blues, rock, and operatic.
Tom Jones's regular speaking voice in his natural welsh accent and his singing voice are so MASSIVELY different, it's insane to imagine any of his music comes from him when he's just casually speaking.
I'm 60 and he still sings to my soul. Sorry about those that don't get it! Their loss and they'll never understand love!
Thanks for the love and compliment 🌹

Two great great vocalists bring out the best in each other.
Tom Jones is a great singer, the way he performs is amazing and his voice too. He is a gentleman. I love him very much.
Normally I am a medley hater, but this is Tom Jones and Ray Charles.
You should check out Toms medleys with Stevie Wonder and Wilson Pickett also!
Saw Sir TJ in my country of PR in 1969 and he was amazing. The best part was when I went to a piano bar the week after his show where he stopped for a drink and everyone was still talking about how nice and considerate he was to everyone,he spent hours singing and parting with everyone.

I Need to unhear these duets!!! They are ruining me. I'm a classically trained musician, and everyone is SOO good, and I mean everyone, I don't think I can sleep.
Two music legends right here
Both represent the highest degree of singing profesionalism. SUPER!?

When are they going to make a hollywood bio movie about Tom Jones? This man is a living legend.
@Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow 1977 Indeed, who could play Tom ?
Tough casting, do you get a singer who can act or an actor lip-syncing a singer?
Love these duets. Just fantastic
Music genius overload in one video.
This is astonishing. Ray Charles really seemed to love singing with Tom Jones. Just wow,

My life for those 5 first notes at the piano ba ba ba ba ba at the beginning of the video. Wonderful...
When Tom Jones performs, he articulates and enunciates his musical words. I never missed his TV shows.
This is what " live" means.
Amen to that, Emily!
Facts ... when a legends looks into another legends eyes and gives us the sight
Tom is legend, love these clips.😊
I hope tom jones comes to Scotland in the future...I'll be there to see this great singing legend...sheer class
There ain’t nothing Tom Can’t do he can mix it up with any artist,rip Charles.
This is absolutely amazing!
