I enjoy watching these "Reactions', and seeing black folks getting surprised by the white voice! I remember when Tom came to the scene and of course all the black community had to say he was 'black'!, Along with the Righteous Brothers'!
Definitely the Righteous Brothers surprised me! Check out my Reactions to them: th-cam.com/video/m6lzedE6xHE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WbItLlS-5yX_kLfS th-cam.com/video/FdwnClAEloE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ttxpw-utnbw3xCU2
I also love to see the young black people reacting to this song. They appreciate all the soul and depth in this performance plus the backing vocals and strings. I'm glad I was part of the 60's. I still love music and throwing some shapes😊
I was born in 1962 and only 5 years old when Tom first recorded this song then appeared on The Dusty Springfield Show. Later, when he had his own weekly variety show in the late 60s/early70s, it was on in my house every week and I watched with my mom -- hearing all of his hits like this one, "It's Not Unusual", "Delilah", "The Green Green Grass of Home", and more...but this was always my favorite. Jump ahead a couple of decades later to 1995 when my then-husband of 5 years (currently 34 years) and I made plans for our first and only trip to Las Vegas. We didn't have a lot of money but I told him while there I wanted to go see one classic Las Vegas act. Of all the acts playing there that August, when I learned Tom Jones would be at the MGM Grand, the decision was made for me. He was 55 years old and still fabulous. Today, Tom is still performing live and sounding strong at age 84.
You should check out the clip of him as a judge on TheVoiceUK, the man who wrote this song for Tom was Lonnie Donegan, lonnies son came on as a contestant and they chatted, they both played his song on the show, it was golden ❤
Hiya mate, your reaction to Tom Jones was beautiful to see. WATCH,WATCH,WATCH him singing live at the audience requests on the TV show here in the UK, THE VOICE, which he is a judge, considering he's in his 80s now and it's all live ❤he will blow you away. ALSO watch the truly brilliant and legendary Stevie Wonder pay tribute to Tom (they sang together on Toms TV show here in the 1960s,,you can watch it on TH-cam),anyhow, just to say, many many thanks for your reaction, take care Tony ❤
Sir Tom Jones will be 84 in June and he can still sing this song. Check out the video of The Voice where he sings this with the son of the man who wrote the song for Tom. Check out "Delilah".
Lonnie Donegan wrote & recorded it in 1962, then five YEARS later, offered it to TJ to record. He most assuredly did NOT write it 'for' Tom Jones, because, in 1962, Tom Jones was literally nobody!
Tom Jones is INCREDIBLE! Check out his live performance of "I Who Have Nothing" done in 1970 on his This Is Tom Jones TV show. The passion in the facial expressions, the gestures, and the voice in this song is remarkable. Tom shines in every song he does! You'd like the collab he did on his show with a guest group Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young (CSN&Y was a very popular group from the 60s and 70s). Besides entertaining his audience with solos, he notably did amazing duets with many top artists guesting on his show... like Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Cher, Wilson Pickett, Janis Joplin, Aretha Franklin, Jerry Lee Lewis, and many more, as well as on a show of his in the 80s, specials he's hosted, and even currently when he often sings on The Voice UK where he's been judging and coaching for a number of years. Tom will be 84 in June this year, and he has a fantastic, rich voice still. He still tours and has still recorded some great and well-received music well beyond the 90's. The most recent album he did (2021) garnered No.1 best album on the UK album charts and one of the songs charted on the Billboard 100 in the US. He has six+ decades of musical magic for you to explore in all kinds of genres. He's fearless, and with his love of performing, and his vocal prowess, he delivers. Tom gives everything he's got, with abandon and skill to his audience, wrapping the emotion with such finesse and control, heavenly tone, and beautiful depth. In his earlier years he showed near operatic range in many of his performances, and has always has stunning power and a confident swag. I suggest you might listen to the recording of the title song "Thunderball" he did for the James Bond film. Watch him perform the Paul Anka song "Papa" on a European TV show, in the afro and forgivably trending attire of the time. Watch him at age 50 singing at an Australian awards show with another powerhouse, John Farmham, rocking out with a cover of AC/DC's "It's A Long Way To The Top...If You Want To Rock And Roll." Listen to him doing Van Morrison's "Carrying A Torch" live in a small studio session with a very pleased Van as one of the musicians accompanying him. And hear the perfect fit of the man to the lyrics in his poignant interpretation of Leonard Cohen's "Tower Of Song." Tom Jones made his mark with so many hit songs, like "It's Not Unusual," "Green, Green Grass Of Home," "Delilah," "What's New, Pussycat," "Kiss," "Sexbomb," "Take Your Hat Off," "I Won't Crumble If You Fall," and others. But there are so many performances besides. I love his early soft jazz rendition of the standard "Autumn Leaves" from a French TV show, his Ed Sullivan Show performance/musical dance number, " What'cha Gonna Do If Your Baby Leaves You," his energetic "Treat Her Right" delight for the ladies, his recording of "With These Hands" that so impressed Elvis Presley that they ended up as good friends, and reprises of "Cry To Me" on The Voice UK. I could go on and on. Anyway, I wanted to share some of these things with you, and let you know I've subscribed. Enjoyed your reaction to Tom and your genuine interest in listening to more of his catalogue. I also am looking forward to you reacting not just to more of Tom Jones, but to me tagging along to watch your reactions to other artists. My well wishes on your continuing journey with your channel. Hope you explore some of my other favorite artists (like Stevie Ray Vaughan) and introduce me to other greats I've not yet discovered. Peace. 🕊️
Your comments say almost exactly what I think every time I listen to this, the emotion is there and I think it is perfectly done. He was just 27 years old in this live performance, amazing voice!
Welcome to the emotions party, better late than never. Give up now as it does not get any better than this. Thanks for letting the track run, it was nice to see the reactions as you watched the video. Been there, done that.👍
Welcome to the Tom Jones rabbit hole, King! 57 years of catching up to go, as he is still going strong! Check out his live performances such as Delilah and Treat Her Right, then see him recently on the Voice UK! :-)

I just came across your channel you have a real good reaction on this one would you like to do Delilah on with Tom Jones and then it's not unusual and then she's a lady thank you shadow
My mother raised me listening to Tom Jones, my favorite is "Delilah" Elvis Presley, my favorite is "My Way" Engelbert Humperdinck, my favorite is "After the Lovin" Wayne Newton, my favorite is "Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast" ALL are very beautiful singers but their still not Dimash 😂 from your Las Vegas listener 🤗
It's 1967, not '76 -- whole different era of music about 5 generations apart. Had seriously degraded into Disco by '76, with Abba, Bee Gees, Captain & Tennille had 'replaced' the Carpenters.

You inverted the year. It was 1967, not 1976.
Tom was and is still is a beast. His voice is soooooooooooo good.

This performance was in 1967. It is one of many incredible performances by him over his career right up to the present day.
He is a judge on the Voice. He is in his 80s and still sounds good.
This is arguably the best live performance of a song I've ever heard. Ed Sullivan called Tom Jones "magnificent." Absolutely!
SIR TOM JONES.
THE LEGEND!
Tom Jones has a voice to DIE FOR!!!! 😮
... I loved your reaction ... !!!
You should check out the clip of him as a judge on TheVoiceUK, the man who wrote this song for Tom was Lonnie Donegan, lonnies son came on as a contestant and they chatted, they both played his song on the show, it was golden ❤
He's so present in this performance! The old songs were romantic and beautiful.
The best vocal performance by a male singer, any time, any place .... ever.

@@beckybugh6515 Then Wiki has it wrong. It says June 1940.
@@sandralorenz1796 ok, maybe I'm wrong.
1967 Brother , Sir Tom is woooo
Tom was never an opera singer but he was the first the only to bring operatic ability to rock 'n pop!!!❤

This young reactor is spot on when he said this has got to be his best performance. How can it get any better
No autotune, no filters, no nothing except PURE talent. You need to listen to Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers…blow you away.
Your comments say almost exactly what I think every time I listen to this, the emotion is there and I think it is perfectly done. He was just 27 years old in this live performance, amazing voice!
Absolutely brilliant.

1964 live. One take baby ...
That moment + that voice + that song = Perfection!
👌🏽
Also reach out for Tom Jones as a judge on The Voice and look up duets that he did...
The one with Jennifer Hudson, it's a man's world is awesome❤❤
Thank you!
Thanks for the reaction video on tom jones! I love him
You’re welcome
In The Midnight Hour with Wilson Picket duet should be next. Wilson was Tom's idol. They got to sing together on Tom's tv variety show.
Live performance, no auto tune. Just a great performance and still performing at 84

No worries! Thanks for your time and support Cynthia ❤️ 👑
Treat her right by Tom Jones is really good too
Please go back to 60s and 70s for your freedoms of music from England and America what a time to live ❤
This song was written especially for Tom by skiffle singer Lonnie Donegan.
Years later while a judge on the UK version of The Voice, Tom sang this song with Peter Donegan, Lonnie's son. Tom is in his 80's and still touring.
Tom misremembered things on the The Voice. Lonnie had released it 5 years earlier.
You have to react to I who have nothing ...IT is superb!!!
King, now you know why us teenage girls fell head over heels in love with Tom Jones (from a 74 yr old teenager).

Elvis did a version of this song, it's great as well
Did Lonnie write it 'for' Elvis too ?!?!
