This is what happens when the right singer, who knows his voice and the tale it needs to tell, brings his whole being to the performance, and is matched with the right song/production. It. Is. Perfection.
and i often do, he is THE VOICE. kids today think that they invented music, they did not and should learn from old school because if it was not for them, everyone would still be doing the okey kokey. keep it real people.
Tom Jones and Elvis Presley were close personal friends. When they first met, Elvis asked him how he could sing so naturally with such power, and Tom (a Welshman) replied everyone in Wales could sing like that.
I am just think right now of what a showcase of Elvis, Sinatra, and Sir Jones would have been like? That would have been historic to say the very least.
But its nice to have his respect. John Farnham and Tom do a duet together. Both are in awe of each other. Also Australian Singer personality. Paul McDermott while performing in England years ago. Had the cool compliment. Tom told his mum. Boy your boy can sing.
That's a stereotype. If there's a history of good voices in Wales it was due in no small part to organised Christian religion, which is less relevant note than its ever been. I've heard enough singing to know that we're no better or worse than anyone else.
@@daibonehead Au contraire, the Welsh language promotes speaking in a higher part of the throat, which promotes a higher quality, and higher range of sound. When the Romans came to Wales they commented that the Britons, as the Welsh were at that time, were the only people in the Empire who instinctively sang in 3 part harmony.
That was a performance for his variety show and all of his performances were indeed live. The applaud is real because his t.v. show always had a real audience. He was the epitome of cool in that era.. He is still a great singer. and still cool.
Tom Jones is 80 years old and still sounds like he did at 20! His voice is pitch perfect, no auto tune needed. He still toured until the pandemic hit and often breaks into song from his red judges chair on The Voice UK.
Elvis is better ..... But most people don't know he did that song ..... th-cam.com/video/VaLJn9CG55M/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1&t=10 ..... As Tom Jones did not have the career Elvis did ..... Tom is good ..... But he is no Elvis .....

one of the greatest vocal performances of all time,its important not to take this level of singing for granted,as there will never be another tom jones
I grew up listening to Tom due to my Mom's love of his music. I took her to see him in 1993 in Colorado & there were people there from 8 years old to 80+ years old! She told me that when his first album came out there was no picture of him on it & everyone thought he was black!! I love his music still, & I'm 60 now. Great reaction!
I'm 50 years old. When I was a kid, my parents played Sam Cooke, Stevie Wonder, The Everly Brothers, The Eagles, The Bee Gees. We just called it music.
There´s a wonderful moment in "The Voice UK" when sir Tom Jones sings this song with the son of Lonnie Donegan, the man who wrote this song for sir Tom Jones. It´s absolutely amazing to watch and listen to :D
Last June, Sir Tom Jones turned 80. He is a coach on the Voice UK. This song was written by Lonnie Donegan and his son, Peter was a contestant on the show. He and Sir Tom Jones sang it live for everyone. Tom Jones still sounds just like the video you just heard here. At 80... ❤️
@@docgonzales Lonnie Donegan was also the name that came to his mind when David Letterman was trying to recall Jimmy Fallon's name as Conan's replacement... odd.
Tom Jones and Janis Joplin performing Raise Your Hand is a great performance and you can see some of Tom's dance moves! He was quite the heartthrob back in the day!

@@martinquirk7468 Well what do I know? In 1967 I was 20 and working as a professional musician. I did two of Tom's TV shows (and 2 tracks on his first album) so sorry they were not all made in the USA. ITV started broadcasting in 1955, BBC2 in 1964 so there were, as I said, 3 channels in 1967. I wasn't trying to score points earlier just admiring a terrific singer.
I was seven years old when this was sung on the weekly Tom jones show. Hed come on at ten o clock on Saturday night. Pass my bedtime,but id always sneak into the living room to watch him
I love how he can make you believe that actually happened to him. The emotion in his voice & face is the kicker. He got married at a young age & stayed married to her until her passing. He wasn't faithful to her but claimed only to love her.
He has a number 1 album right now at the age of 80. The song I won't crumble when you fall is truly beautiful especially knowing it comes from something his now late wife who passed not long ago from cancer said to him which was the title and chorus of the song. It's beautiful and absolutely heartbreaking. He still like this at 80.
tom jones (sir) wow, i did not know.... i've always loved his music, yet i don't have any of his albums ... 'its not unusual' was his first hit.... did not care too much for his hit song 'delilah' haha (too emotional)
There was so much fantastic music during the 60's decade that it would take ANOTHER decade to cover it all. Thank you for this video and your honest reactions.
Loved watching your reaction! My mom loved Tom Jones and I recall being very small and watching him on TV, even at a very young age I could see why she was drawn to him. Definitely a star, such a talent. Makes me happy to see younger generations experiencing him and appreciating him!
@@TracyfromNC The correct version of this song is one of the finest pieces of music ever (more on version later). Prince, The Art of Noise and Tom Jones. It is either going to be great or really not. It was WAY beyond great. I had the CD and lost it. The newer version CD's shortened the song from over 8 minutes to about 3 1/2 minutes. It was horrible. Thank goodness for Ebay I was able to find the original Blue cover version (NOT the pink cover) and get this song back.
" The Tom Jones Effect " affected me too ! Eventually, I went to The Doctors about it. I told him I would wake up on a Monday and start singing "Delilah" then on Tuesday it would be "The Green Green Grass Of Home" and on Wednesday " I'm Coming Home" so I asked him if this was common. He reassured me and said well It's Not Unusual.....
One does one's best Jeff...........one does one's best M8....:) Just b4 you go though A guy is looking for a lawyer....so he calls a law firm called Schwartz, Schwartz, Schwartz & Schwartz. "Hello, Schwartz, Schwartz, Schwartz & Schwartz, how can I help you?" "I'd like to speak to Mr. Schwartz, please." "Sorry, he's with a client." "Alright, then let me speak to Mr. Schwartz." "He's on a criminal case, he'll be away for three weeks." "Okay, can I speak to Mr. Schwartz, then?" "He's not here, he retired last month." "Fine, then just let me speak to Mr. Schwartz." "Speaking!"......
He still sings as powerfully today! He's a coach on The Voice UK and sang this with the son of Lonnie Donegan (the guy who wrote the song for him) on the show.
I was born in 1957 from the UK and a huge Sir Tom Jones fan - this has always been my absolute favourite song of Tom's and gives me chills even now. What's amazing is that people are still only just hearing this song and the reaction is wonderful to see that he touches your soul too
He's Sir Tom Jones now. He's from Wales and lives in England now. He has been a coach on UK's The Voice for a few years and is still singing. He turned 80 last year and his voice is still like it was in the 60's. He is one of the best singers ever I think!
He just sits in his "The Voice" chair then his powerful voice vibrates around the studio without effort with the other stars left dumbfounded by his power & class.
Yes that's Tom Jones he appeared in the Prince of Bel-Air one of the most popular songs he has Out is it's not unusual to be loved by anyone or if not the most popular song
Great that you recognized there were no auto tunes or voice filters back then. What you heard was the actual voice. Also keep in mind this was a live performance, you can't hide mistakes. Enjoyed your review.
It’s so wonderful to see y’all appreciate Tom Jones! I was 18 in 1967, when this video was made, so I definitely loved Tom’s voice then, and his singing still gives me goosebumps. Thanks.
I must admit that I’ve never heard of Chris Stapleton but I am over here in England. I am still still surprised they have never heard of Sir Tom Jones.
I’ve seen him in concert four times since 2010, as recently as in 2019. And he is amazing every time; even continuing to release new albums! His Reload albums are really fun, as he’s doing covers/duets with more current artists.
The one man Elvis wanted to teach him how to sing! He was blown away by Tom Jones, but Tom comes from the Valleys in Wales, and singing was always a BIG thing there!!
B. S ..... Your statement has no fact ..... Only spoken by Jones himself claiming it ..... Wake-Up ..... However ..... Elvis was nice to everyone ..... And said thing to please them ..... Even to Jones ..... No way in hell is Jones better then Elvis ..... In anyway ..... History is written ..... Elvis did it all and is the goat of it all ..... Tom is still here ..... And Elvis has been gone for just over forty-four years ..... And still the G.O.A.T ..... What does that tell you ..... History has spoken .....

@@bign8580 It's a shame you can't see that Elvis had a character trait you don't possess in any way.....humility. Try it sometime. Elvis was a supreme performer, but ask any singing coach or indeed singer, to compare him with Tom, and they'll point out he had a lot less range and often struggled to hit the right notes, but that never mattered because everyone loved him; Jones on the other hand was a Welshman, brought up in the Valleys of Wales with a powerful and consistent voice that Elvis had the humility and honest to be astonished with; he said he was "my favourite singer" elvis-presley-tom-jones.html

@@bign8580 Tom can sing infinitely better in his 80s than Elvis could in his mid 40s. Elvis could shake a hip when rock n roll was starting, but Tom clearly had a better voice. Wales is well known as the land of song- mining towns in South Wales, where Tom was from, were renowned for their male voice choirs. Even the American film How Green Was My Valley showed the miners coming home singing. The black American Paul Robeson appeared in the Welsh film The Proud Valley; he loved the Welsh singing and the miners' spirit too. He became a friend of Wales for life. The film Zulu has Welsh soldiers singing in strong hearty voice even when under attack by thousands of Zulus. Your use of capitals won't win an argument, simply shows foolishness and desperation- a sensible spoken message is far superior to shouted nonsense.
@@mizofan You can blow this smoke..... Till the cows come home ..... Elvis is so much more then Tom can even imagine ..... Elvis will al-way be the best ..... Tom is good in-fact very good but .....

So don't try ..... As I will not reply back to you .....
Tom Jones and Stevie wonder duet is a must. As well as being epic on his own. Tom has probably dueted with more other big name singers than anyone else ever.
I preferred the Ray CHarles and Stevie Wonder duet though at times it seemed like The Blind leading The Blind.............no disrespect to either of these Superstars...
Love you two, btw. It's not the "I'm never gonna fall..." that hits me everytime I hear this song, it's that final "please don't make me fall in love again!" that really hits home.
@@terriwilbanks9748 Definitely Delilah! Tom is one of those rare artists whose voice continued to get better as time went on. This is good, but it just gets better and better.
And to think Ronnie that the liberals wanted to ban the playing and crowd singing "Delilah" at start of every Wales home rugby games at Principality Stadium here in Wales🏴This is an Anthem to us Welsh.
My 13 yo daughter started singing Delilah when she was 3. In Kindergarten she wanted to sing it in the talent show, but I told her that I didn't think they'd allow it because it really wasn't appropriate for an elementary school. 🤣
In 1967 I was 10 years old and my mom was in love with Tom Jones as was every other mom in America.💙😍🍺🍺🍺You might also like to listen to "Green green grass of home" and Delilah!
You will not see such a complete package of unrivalled singing talent, gentlemanly class, raw masculinity, all presented with the finest professional polish, ever again. Toms style was of it’s time, and sadly the concept of what is considered talent today has dropped way down and off the bottom of the scale. Thank God this great man is still with us.
Saw Tom Jones in concert years ago in the 70s....he split his pants dancing and still kept going! 😳We got a little more of him than we planned...lol! Sir Tom is 80 and his voice is still as smooth as silk!
Tom has a great voice he's the guy that sings the song it's not unusual that carlton danced to on fresh prince he has a song called she's a lady that y'all should check out and speaking of great singers check out kenny rogers lady and chris cornell cover of nothing compares to you and the righteous brothers you've lost that loving feeling🔥🎶🔥
Yall are one of my favorite reaction channels. You both have amazing synergy, you're obviously a good man, your wife's a beautiful woman, and yall's honest critiquing is refreshing. Keep it up.
Wow, this takes me back to my younger days. I loved him then and I love him now. Those were great days,great times, great sounds. Thank you for your reaction, I get the same reaction every time he sings this.
just true TALENT back in the day you couldn't hide behind the music . if you messed up everyone knew it not like today if you mess up they either don't care or they didn't notice because the music is good they thought it was part of the show ! Tom Jones carries the Title '' SIR '' TOM JONES . KNIGHTED BY THE QUEEN . Look at all of the Talent of Tom that you missed . but the good thing is you can find him and listen to his beautiful voice again .. Love You Guys ..
Live with an orchestra strong 💪🏽 In 1967 I was 9 years old. Tom was the bomb in the 60’s-70’s. Tom was still recording and performing prior to COVID-19 He is in his 80’s and sounds fantastic 🔥

No auto tuning, no big reverb, no echo, no filters. Just talent.
That's how it was back then. Pure, raw talent with no electronic enhancement.

But the knickers are much smaller these days

Loved watching your reaction! My mom loved Tom Jones and I recall being very small and watching him on TV, even at a very young age I could see why she was drawn to him. Definitely a star, such a talent. Makes me happy to see younger generations experiencing him and appreciating him!
So you really want to treat find Tom Jones and the Art of Noise performing their version of Prince's song kiss. You can thank me later.
YES!! Art Of Noise is another great group too.
Awesome
@@TracyfromNC The correct version of this song is one of the finest pieces of music ever (more on version later). Prince, The Art of Noise and Tom Jones. It is either going to be great or really not. It was WAY beyond great.
I had the CD and lost it. The newer version CD's shortened the song from over 8 minutes to about 3 1/2 minutes. It was horrible. Thank goodness for Ebay I was able to find the original Blue cover version (NOT the pink cover) and get this song back.
No no no he butchered it and it should be struck from the world and never heard again, it was a load of rubbish
" The Tom Jones Effect " affected me too !
Eventually, I went to The Doctors about it. I told him I would wake up on a Monday and start singing "Delilah" then on Tuesday it would be "The Green Green Grass Of Home" and on Wednesday " I'm Coming Home" so I asked him if this was common.
He reassured me and said well It's Not Unusual.....
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😈😎🤣
Had me concerned til the punch line. Loved it F-ing hilarious.
One does one's best Jeff...........one does one's best M8....:)
Just b4 you go though A guy is looking for a lawyer....so he calls a law firm called Schwartz, Schwartz, Schwartz & Schwartz.
"Hello, Schwartz, Schwartz, Schwartz & Schwartz, how can I help you?"
"I'd like to speak to Mr. Schwartz, please."
"Sorry, he's with a client."
"Alright, then let me speak to Mr. Schwartz."
"He's on a criminal case, he'll be away for three weeks."
"Okay, can I speak to Mr. Schwartz, then?"
"He's not here, he retired last month."
"Fine, then just let me speak to Mr. Schwartz."
"Speaking!"......
U made my day...
He has a very very powerful voice. I can imagine someone being blown back from the force of it.
He still sings as powerfully today! He's a coach on The Voice UK and sang this with the son of Lonnie Donegan (the guy who wrote the song for him) on the show.
I was born in 1957 from the UK and a huge Sir Tom Jones fan - this has always been my absolute favourite song of Tom's and gives me chills even now. What's amazing is that people are still only just hearing this song and the reaction is wonderful to see that he touches your soul too
Sir tom jones is 80yrs old still making music to this day still got the pipes too
Tom Jones will be 84 in 2024 and he can still belt this song out, just like it was 1967 ❤️
He's Sir Tom Jones now. He's from Wales and lives in England now. He has been a coach on UK's The Voice for a few years and is still singing. He turned 80 last year and his voice is still like it was in the 60's. He is one of the best singers ever I think!
Tom Jones - treat her right, not the most amazing song but the video and his behavior is hilarious
And those moves can't be duplicated...
He just sits in his "The Voice" chair then his powerful voice vibrates around the studio without effort with the other stars left dumbfounded by his power & class.
Yes that's Tom Jones he appeared in the Prince of Bel-Air one of the most popular songs he has Out is it's not unusual to be loved by anyone or if not the most popular song
Tom is still singing
He just released One More Cupof Coffee a Dylan cover. He is as good on it as ever. He is now Sir Tom Jones
Great that you recognized there were no auto tunes or voice filters back then. What you heard was the actual voice. Also keep in mind this was a live performance, you can't hide mistakes. Enjoyed your review.
It’s so wonderful to see y’all appreciate Tom Jones! I was 18 in 1967, when this video was made, so I definitely loved Tom’s voice then, and his singing still gives me goosebumps. Thanks.
Chris Stapleton would be honored to be put in the same vocal category as Tom Jones.
I must admit that I’ve never heard of Chris Stapleton but I am over here in England. I am still still surprised they have never heard of Sir Tom Jones.
@@johnwaga3702 Chris Stapleton is well worth a listen!
Never heard of him, but sorry no one can match Sir Tom Jones, ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’ve seen him in concert four times since 2010, as recently as in 2019. And he is amazing every time; even continuing to release new albums! His Reload albums are really fun, as he’s doing covers/duets with more current artists.
The one man Elvis wanted to teach him how to sing! He was blown away by Tom Jones, but Tom comes from the Valleys in Wales, and singing was always a BIG thing there!!
B. S ..... Your statement has no fact ..... Only spoken by Jones himself claiming it ..... Wake-Up ..... However ..... Elvis was nice to everyone ..... And said thing to please them ..... Even to Jones ..... No way in hell is Jones better then Elvis ..... In anyway ..... History is written ..... Elvis did it all and is the goat of it all ..... Tom is still here ..... And Elvis has been gone for just over forty-four years ..... And still the G.O.A.T ..... What does that tell you ..... History has spoken ..... Jones is a has been and will fade away as all good singers do ..... But Elvis he is still growing ..... Time to face facts ..... You can .... Fight it .... Argue it .... Cuss at it .... Disagree with it .... Be Jealous of it .... You can even claim others his equal or his better .... But every time the dust settles .... Elvis is still king .... God said .... And that .... That there is just something you cannot change .... Can't be done .... No Brag ..... Just Fact .....
@@bign8580 It's a shame you can't see that Elvis had a character trait you don't possess in any way.....humility. Try it sometime. Elvis was a supreme performer, but ask any singing coach or indeed singer, to compare him with Tom, and they'll point out he had a lot less range and often struggled to hit the right notes, but that never mattered because everyone loved him; Jones on the other hand was a Welshman, brought up in the Valleys of Wales with a powerful and consistent voice that Elvis had the humility and honest to be astonished with; he said he was "my favourite singer"

@@GloryCarrier22 Wrong is so many of your statements ..... Your writing crapola ..... I would like to help you wake-up ..... Really I should ..... But trying to get someone like you looking to truth ..... Well would just take to much time ..... And by the way ..... Roy Orbison .... Elvis said was the best he thought when asked ..... That's who Elvis thought was a great singer ..... And of-course Roy said ..... Elvis hands down ..... I mean your fighting on the wrong side of history ..... IN OTHER WORDS IT IS ALL READY WRITTEN ..... MEANS IT IS DONE ALREADY ..... GET IT ..... HISTORY ..... UNDERSTAND .....
@@bign8580 Tom can sing infinitely better in his 80s than Elvis could in his mid 40s. Elvis could shake a hip when rock n roll was starting, but Tom clearly had a better voice. Wales is well known as the land of song- mining towns in South Wales, where Tom was from, were renowned for their male voice choirs. Even the American film How Green Was My Valley showed the miners coming home singing. The black American Paul Robeson appeared in the Welsh film The Proud Valley; he loved the Welsh singing and the miners' spirit too. He became a friend of Wales for life. The film Zulu has Welsh soldiers singing in strong hearty voice even when under attack by thousands of Zulus. Your use of capitals won't win an argument, simply shows foolishness and desperation- a sensible spoken message is far superior to shouted nonsense.
@@mizofan You can blow this smoke..... Till the cows come home ..... Elvis is so much more then Tom can even imagine ..... Elvis will al-way be the best ..... Tom is good in-fact very good but ..... Not even in the top 50 singers out there from the 50's and 60's Not even close .....Sorry .....You can keep your Wales philosophy of how a country grows better singers ..... Like the land is the maker of a voice and not the person ..... Your to far gone ..... for me to help ..... Good luck on telling the Billions of people on Earth that Tom is Better than Elvis ..... To help pull you out of your Dilemma.....Elvis and Tom were here at the same time and both did their thing at the same time ..... To speed this up for you ..... Elvis won ..... Good Bye ..... And before you reply back ..... DON"T ..... Cause I do care about your thinking of Toms better thing ..... Cause to me he is NOT ..... And never will be ..... You'll never change my mind ..... So don't try ..... As I will not reply back to you .....
Tom Jones and Stevie wonder duet is a must.
As well as being epic on his own. Tom has probably dueted with more other big name singers than anyone else ever.
I preferred the Ray CHarles and Stevie Wonder duet though at times it seemed like The Blind leading The Blind.............no disrespect to either of these Superstars...
All good but tom and little richard is a must see.
@@jamestaylor1347 Tom and a good few people is a must see. :D
yup, even seen him do a duet with Aretha Franklin
Stevie paid tribute to his 80 year old friend Tom, sang a few bars of It's Not Unusual on The Voice (on youtube).
Tom Jones was and still is on a whole different level of cool then most.
Love you two, btw. It's not the "I'm never gonna fall..." that hits me everytime I hear this song, it's that final "please don't make me fall in love again!" that really hits home.
I can’t get over how perfect this performance was- Tom is the Man!
One of the best voices EVER
Class act. One of a kind our Tom! So good to see these songs pass through the generations.
I'm glad you guys like it!!❤ Tom Jones, Elvis Presley and Englebert Humperdink, all 3 of them are very good you should check them out too!❤
Listening to Tom Jones makes me melt. No one compares.
I'm pretty sure that Tom Jones opened the first used lingerie shop in Wales.
🤣😂🤣😂😁💪🤙
🤣🤣🤣🤣
LMFAO
We loved him here in Britain, the welsh singer at it’s best, great songs he sung 🇬🇧❤️xx
He is 80. Still performing, saw him in Bham 2019. FABULOUS!
You must watch the new clip from the voice where he does live, "I won't crumble if you fall." Everyone cried. It's amazing!!!
"Beautiful voice" - well, he's Welsh. It's a law in Wales to have a beautiful voice. :D
😀😃😀
Mark Orr I'm Scottish and my Nanna always the best choirs are Welsh God bless
@Matthew Snider Of course, your point troll ?
Well they don't have much else. The English have taken so much from them. They can't take their voice.
So I’m just wondering everyone in Wales has a great voice? It’s a law…..???
This is the sad side of her cheating, do Delilah for the "other" side.
Yes, a must!
@@terriwilbanks9748 Definitely Delilah! Tom is one of those rare artists whose voice continued to get better as time went on. This is good, but it just gets better and better.
And to think Ronnie that the liberals wanted to ban the playing and crowd singing "Delilah" at start of every Wales home rugby games at Principality Stadium here in Wales🏴This is an Anthem to us Welsh.
'her cheating'. the irony when he's the cheater in real life.
My 13 yo daughter started singing Delilah when she was 3. In Kindergarten she wanted to sing it in the talent show, but I told her that I didn't think they'd allow it because it really wasn't appropriate for an elementary school. 🤣
Its a man on stage controlling his voice, no joking around, no clowning, just a man with a great voice singing.
Our wonderful Tom. I was eight when he sang this. Mum and Dad bought all his records. Our wonderful late Queen knighted him. Sir Tom
In 1967 I was 10 years old and my mom was in love with Tom Jones as was every other mom in America.💙😍🍺🍺🍺You might also like to listen to "Green green grass of home" and Delilah!
In 67 I was 8 years old and I can remember this when he was on German TV. He was huge in Germany 😍
In 1967 I was nine and when his tv show came on mom would drop everything to watch on our little black and white tv.
In his native Wales he's affectionately known as "Jones the voice" along with 2 million other Welsh men
Welsh anthem before beating England 30-3 at rugby in 2013- on youtube
You will not see such a complete package of unrivalled singing talent, gentlemanly class, raw masculinity, all presented with the finest professional polish, ever again. Toms style was of it’s time, and sadly the concept of what is considered talent today has dropped way down and off the bottom of the scale. Thank God this great man is still with us.
Also he was totally hot.
Tom will be 81 this year and still performs and sounds great. Hope you’ll do more ☮️💜 Tom and Janis Joplin is a must watch
And this truly was LIVE....no overdub!
Saw Tom Jones in concert years ago in the 70s....he split his pants dancing and still kept going! 😳We got a little more of him than we planned...lol! Sir Tom is 80 and his voice is still as smooth as silk!
Tom Jones covered “Are you gonna go my way” by Lenny Kravitz. It’s fire as hell.
Live performance, no auto tune. Just him and his fabulous voice. Cheers.
Tom has a great voice he's the guy that sings the song it's not unusual that carlton danced to on fresh prince he has a song called she's a lady that y'all should check out and speaking of great singers check out kenny rogers lady and chris cornell cover of nothing compares to you and the righteous brothers you've lost that loving feeling🔥🎶🔥
lionel richie wrote the song 'Lady". (i love to sing lionel richie songs because they are right in my key) (and he has written some beautiful songs)
@@SydHarewood yes he was a great song writer and he wrote lady for kenny rogers sometime in the 80's while lionel was still part of the commodores
Yall are one of my favorite reaction channels. You both have amazing synergy, you're obviously a good man, your wife's a beautiful woman, and yall's honest critiquing is refreshing. Keep it up.
Wow, this takes me back to my younger days. I loved him then and I love him now. Those were great days,great times, great sounds. Thank you for your reaction, I get the same reaction every time he sings this.
I've always been enamored by Jais smile.....lucky man
The Welsh have some great singers, you guys should check out Shirley Bassey singing 'Goldfinger' live at Albert hall 1974. Great vocals.
Bryn Terfel a fine opera singer, the Welsh rugby crowds, e.g anthem before beating England 30-3 in 2013 (on youtube)
just true TALENT back in the day you couldn't hide behind the music . if you messed up everyone knew it not like today if you mess up they either don't care or they didn't notice because the music is good they thought it was part of the show ! Tom Jones carries the Title '' SIR '' TOM JONES . KNIGHTED BY THE QUEEN . Look at all of the Talent of Tom that you missed . but the good thing is you can find him and listen to his beautiful voice again .. Love You Guys ..
Live with an orchestra strong 💪🏽
In 1967 I was 9 years old.
Tom was the bomb in the 60’s-70’s.
Tom was still recording and performing prior to COVID-19
He is in his 80’s and sounds fantastic 🔥
He’s 80 years old now and is a judge on the voice UK and he still sounds great. There’s a video of him singing ITS A MANS WORLD with Jennifer Hudson.
