- The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
Bob Boilen | June 7, 2021
We're publishing this Tom Jones Tiny Desk (home) concert on his 81st birthday. It's a poignant moment in the life of a singer whose career spans 56 years and more than 100 million records sold; the passing of his wife, Linda, in 2016 after 59 years of marriage was devastating and resulted in the longest break between recordings of his career. But now Tom Jones is back with a new album, Surrounded By Time, and ready to share his deepest feelings, channeling songs by others with a voice still rich and muscular. It's a triumphant return to the Tiny Desk (his first visit was in 2009), and it's the first time he's performed these songs since recording them last year.
The songs on the album (and for this Tiny Desk) deal so eloquently with time and aging. Tom Jones sings Bob Dylan's "One More Cup Of Coffee" and going "down to the valley below." Then, he takes on Malvina Reynolds' folk tune "There's No Hole In My Head" and turns it into a fierce statement about being yourself.
When Tom Jones was 33, and after one of his infamous shows in Las Vegas, jazz composer Bobby Cole presented him with the song "I'm Growing Old." With lyrics including "I'm growing dimmer in the eyes / I'm growing fainter in my talk / I'm growing deeper in my sighs / I'm growing slower in my walk." Tom Jones didn't feel old enough to do it justice, but he held on to it. His performance here brought me to tears and is well worth the wait.

Los años no pasan en valde y aunque hay cambios su voz es maravillosa, conmueve , se siente el sentimiento y lo hace , te admiro Tom por tanto tiempo que nos has deleitado con tu gran voz y precensia , le pido a Dios te conceda vida y salud te amo Tom ❤
The last song... it's self-reflection to the ultimate level. GOD Bless This Legendary Artist!!! ❤
This guy on his 80s still doesn't lose his prime.
Выдающийся человек, обаяние зашкаливает. Что 30 лет, что 81 год слушаем и восхищаемся. Здоровья ему и долгих лет
81 years old, 🏴🏴🏴 a welsh legend
Only Wales? Freakin amazing
He reminds me of Captain Cat in Under Milk Wood by Dylan Thomas.
How about just, "A legend".
@@evamarjai1696 hello
@@tomjones9618 Hello! It was a great concert, many thanks!
Dieser Mann ist wie ein Spitzenwein ‼️‼️‼️je älter je besser ‼️‼️‼️ ich wünsche ihm von Herzen, dass er bei bester Gesundheit 100 Jahre alt wird ‼️‼️‼️
I'm Gen Z, just 22 years old and I love Mr. Tom Jones also Paul Anka, My crush from the other world Mr. Elvis Presley, and many more. I'm a huge fan. They have these huge undying lovely vocals. Very classic and gold. Keep performing and stay healthy, sir Tom.
Hello amazing fan.
It has come to my notice that some of my fans thinks I was the person who died. Late jones was The one who conceived the twist on Romeo and Juliet with composer John Donald Robb. He died 11th August, of cancer in his home in Sharon.
I’m still alive and much healthy.
Thanks dear fan..
The greatest singer of all times, Sir TOM JONES!!! We love you so very much!!! No words of thanks can express our gratitude to you, Sir Tom Jones!!! Love love love you so...
The voice is just 100% still there. He’s literally lost nothing. It’s outrageous! Sir Tom’s work of the last 10 years is his very best.
With respect Toms voice is totally different from what it was - he will admit that himself. Toms genius is that he has adapted his voice over the years and doesn’t try and do things he is no longer capable of doing. His voice is still fantastic, but certainly different…….
@@rufdymond And he has the added soul that comes from so many years of living. What he has lost in technique he has gained in emotion.
Yea dude.... no - He's still decent obviously but just.... no
@@rufdymond Indeed - he is very aware of what he still can do, and he does it amazingly. He is aging gracefully and without the embarrassment of some of his peers.
One of them unmistakable voices. Still sounds good in his old age.
Why doesn't the youth know about the great Tom Jones? So unfair. Such a legend.
El TIEMPO pasa para todos x suerte y QUÉ pase mas son los años vividos
Es increíble que con 82 años siga como si no hubiera parado el tiempo. Lo admiro soy fan de los 60 . Ya paso un tiempo .
I'm here because, Tom Jones...greatest voice of our time.
You get better as time goes by. 81 years young. you still got what it takes . Love you. Tom. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎤🎤🎤🎤
A great music man like him the world will never see nor hear again. A true juwel, unmeasurable 🙏
Very good combo, too. Truely fitting! 👏
Tiny Desk Concerts...a great thing to do! Reminds me of our family having a sing around the fire after the cook out. Coffee and listening to my cousins electric guitar or his classic guitar...old rock n roll, country or gospel. ❤
Sir Tom
God put you on earth for a very special reason you are the best singer that the. U. K gave us keep singer love from the u s a god bless you and you family
Tom you are maybe the greatest voice of all time ❤
Tom Jones is a legend. Never forget his first number one was in 1965!
Magnificent singer, still alive and kicking.
Brilliant in the 60’s,70’s,80’s,90’s ,00’s,10’s ,20’s .This is a proper legend .
I'm Growing Old got me in tears here. What a moment.
You still have what you have always had - That awesome VOICE!
He sounds so sad here .. still amazing . Love his voice, love him ❤
He's still 🔥🔥🔥 for me he got better, like a good wine...
Yep indeed. Thanks Tom.
Sir Tom’s voice can move mountains
Wow, that expression after singing the last note on “I’m Growing Old”. So much feeling and emotion in his eyes.
I’ve loved Tom Jones since I was was 16. I am now 67 and love since I first heard that strong rich voice. Been to two of his concerts. Never disappoints. Happy Birthday to you Sir Tom Jones. Thank You for sharing your wonderful voice ❤️
Hello Thanks for your comment.
Wow, when he sang “I’m Growing Old” I sensed a sadness. You are a treasure Sir To Jones.
That last song. He lives it. Still got it, still got it.
СЭР ТОМ, вы чудное явление!!!!!!!
I loved Tom Jones since I was 7-8 yrs old. Then I moved t Toronto at 12. I was so fascinated by the city that I didnt pay attention to media. I lost track of Tom, he was in Vegas, UK....Rediscovered him on TH-cam with the 1989 Jive Records, production of the concert " at this moment". I LOVED HIM!!❤. Watch every Tom content I can get. I think he was at his prime from when he sang with Van Morrison on Tom's Record of "Carrying a Torch " . 184-87? Onward.
You are like fine wine.
Timeless and only getting better, incredible.
Extraordinary!!! Not many singers have the ability to move you so profoundly. Tom Jones is one of them.
The legendary pipes are still there. You can’t deny the gift he’s given us for so many years. An amazing talent and performer for the ages. Thank you Sir Thomas Jones.
Beautiful and makes you realize that Sir Tom is not immortal , which is sad in a way. When he sang I’m growing old actually brought tears to my eyes. May you sing every day you are blessed to share your beautiful voice with us. May God bless you always.
Immortal not immoral. Darn auto correct
Nice of NPR to drop this on Tom's 81st birthday, he's still got it!
didn't see your comment, but I said pretty much the same thing.
"Drop"? Hope it didn't break...
The master at work. There’s not many people in there 80’s who still work as hard as him 🥰
*john pilger journalist, filmmaker and activist
Money helps keep you going sometimes
No s*!Tting, I think he may be a Highlander.
Tom , Engelbert and Sinatra , great voices over the 80's years old !!
@@ignaziobriones7566 😭
People who haven't watched this one are missing out.
You don't realize who he is and what a legend Tom Jones is. This man is gold.
Think of it your, in our twenties, and then 50 some years later youll be entering your eighties, life is short. Some of us go young. Covid taking some many lives but Tom and his elegance letting us feel this beautiful feeling we will grow old we all should be able to it's so sad
This man is a treasure.
My mom and I used to watch him on This is Tom Jones show many years ago. It ran from 1969 to 1971. No matter where we were, we had to get home to watch him. I still love him to this day. ❤
My Nana and I would watch him and I fell for him then.
Храни вас ГОСПОДЬ, СЭР ТОМ ДЖОНС!!!!!!!!!
I'm a millennial but Tom Jones is a huge part of my childhood. My grandparents used to listen to this one radio station that would play 50s to 70s music on Sundays. We even had a CD of his greatest hits and it was a big deal because we were dirt-poor then. Thank you for the nostalgia, NPR and Sir Tom Jones! ❤
And also I cant get enough of your singing.
So happy to see this 81 year old legend still rocking it. What a treasure... Stay healthy and safe, Sir Tom!
Simply a legend and still killing it.
Wow, Tom! We're all growing older, but your song and voice will never grow old!!
Who doesn't Love to hear Tom Jones? He has the power of an opera singer in his 80s!
Thank you, Tom Jones. Truly, you are a remarkable singer.
This is fantastic. He may 81 but he is still incredible.
It's crazy how he STILL sounds so amazing! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤❤
Holy...this opening is so great
& the end so sad
Wow 81 years and still has a great voice!
Man what a song. This man can sing like no one else. Distinctive, soulful,timeless. Great to hear you again Mr.Jones . Your the man.
You obviously don’t know the difference between you’re , an abbreviation of you are , and your , something you own or possess !
When you're good, you're good. As time goes by.. Such a warm timbre and presence!
Hello
Seeing this again this day of June 20, 2022 here in Seattle and much appreciate Mr. Jones. Thank you.
Just lovely, Tom Jones, wine only gets better with ag
This was my first time hearing "I'm Growing Old" and it touched me deeply. You can feel the emotion in Tom's voice and it sent chills up my spine. You are a true legend, Tom Jones.
Tom Jones still happening after all those years. Been listening to him since I was a kid . ( im now 60)
Y yo también le oigo de niña y nuevamente lo descubrí, me encanta.
Happy birthday Tom 🎉❤. What a thrill to hear you sing 🤦🏼♀️💗 Nobody like you Tom is the best among the best, your career is immense and brilliant, nobody like you, so splendid singing so beautiful at this age. God bless you 🙏🙏and keep singing much more! we love you Tom !!🙅🏼♀️💗💗
Hello Thanks for your comment.
Love you Tom! You still the best!!!
Unreal that he's still so active and sounding great! if only Elvis had listened to Tom
in regard to what--health issues. I know Tom "drinks a lot of water and gets lots of sleep", is that what you mean?
@@jimquantic Well, probably. To be 81/2 and looks so healthy and strong you must be doing something right with your health and taking care of your body.
Voice, grace, emotions.
True definition of the meaning "LEGEND"
Amen. Still the greatest.
WITH OUT QUOTESA-LEGEND FOR ALL TIME!!!
@@angelaphillip6993 Hello Thanks for your comment.
Still the best voice of the whole world
Finest 80 year old I’ve ever saw. He seriously looks better and has more swag than guys 40 years younger. 😍
Sir Tom sings with such feeling, seems like more than ever. Just fabulous. Love his voice. Happy Birthday Sir🌹
Hello Thanks for your comment.
Thank you Tiny Desk and Happy Birthday Sir Tom! Thank you for all you've given us over the years and I wish you another 81 years in good health and happiness!
Long live the legend! That voice is forever.
Tom Jones is a blessing 🥰❤🙏
!FENOMENO¡ !UNICO¡ Irrepetible. Gracias por existir.
Happy Birthday Grandpa Tom Jones, thanks for your one more cup of cofffee, it tastes bluesy, God bless you
WOW!!!!!!

Great Dylan cover❤️
Have you all missed it this guy is a true legend still making amazing music like this thru a pandemic just does not get better
Happy birthday Sir Tom Jones. Your voice and performance are unique. May you stay with us for many years to come. The new generations are discovering how great this Legend is. Irrepeatable indeed.
Smooth. I really appreciate you and your fellow musicians. You have soul, Tom Jones. I have Welsh family members and know how important singing is.

Thanks dear fan..
The voice is still as rich as ever! One of the best!
My word has his voice stayed perfect. Happy birthday Tom. Most singers are shells past 60. Art Garfunkel and Tom Jones are the only exceptions that immediately come to mind.
😍 swooning over Tom 😍
Wow!! Tom Jones sounds great!! I was a big fan of his as a little girl watching him on my grandparents TV. This man has plenty of Soul in his music. Thanks Tiny Desk! Peace, Love, And Blessings Always Tom Jones💙
To this day, no one sings a song like Tom Jones. One of the great singers.
Been listening to Tom a lot lately, dude could fit nicely in the rock hall of fame I’d say
Why on earth is he NOT in the Rock Hall of Fame? His fans should be doing something about this. Tom deserves this!
I don't understand why he is not...many in it who shouldn't be
Yes, he deserves a place in the Rockin' Roll Hall of Fame.
@@mariandinan6089 Hello Thanks for your comment.
El no necesita estar ahí. Lo importante es que está en el corazón de millones por todo el mundo. Y recuerda: " La gente suele olvidar lo que dices y lo que haces. Lo que NUNCA podrá olvidar es cómo los hiciste sentir". Y Tom con su maravillosa voz, nos ha hecho sentir y vivir cosas maravillosas. Por eso es INOLVIDABLE!
YOU ARE THE BEST singer yet!!!!!🥰👏👏👏👏
That Voice is Treasure ! Man it's still Beautiful
A total Icon that Man
Is ! So glad to hear
That Voice.
No shakes or cracks
As if it's preserved for life ! ❤
Hello Thanks for your comment.🙏
Run On for a long time....
✝️🔥♾️

I have loved Tom since the sixties. What a voice. I’m so glad that I got to attend a concert this year.❤
Gahhh goosebumps starting at the first song. One of the best voices out there, so iconic and legendary. ❤❤❤❤❤

Wow how incredibly fine his voice sounds
The great Master 😳💕
great appearance
The man still sounds incredible. To be 81 years old and still sound like he’s in his 20s smh. May we all be so lucky. Legend ❤️
Unbelievable performance at any age let alone 81. A proper living legend. Thank you Tom, keep on rocking. Superbly supported too.
I’ve had the privilege of seeing this man in concert 3 times, and when I say he brings the house down- lord does he BRING IT DOWN. So undervalued by so many, the man still has it 👏🏼🙌🏽 thank you for gifting our ears with soulful tunes, Sir Tom Jones
The Amazing Tom Jones! so awesome
Saw him in concert with my husband a few years ago, one of the best concerts I have ever attended,
One of the great male voices of all time! So rich and soulful - right up there in tone quality with Pavarotti, Lou Rawls, Joe Williams and Paul Robeson.
Don't forget Janis Joplin
@@brianconley1705 but only janis Joplin f@22 everyone else
You said it Bryan..."So rich so soulful." That "soulful" part is so fantastic! The Greatest.
This man has truly been blessed with the talent to entertain us. And still has it!
トムのバラッドは世界一😊
He`s Ballad No.1
