Thank u for u listing to a great old songs.:)
Sir Tom Jones is the best ever male vocalist, his power, range, tone and emotion was second to none. Even now in his 80’s he can still sing amazing well. A rare talent!
My wife and I saw Tom Jones live in Las Vegas in 1973. Knowing he had one of the most powerful voices ever, we were blown away that he performed more than 30 songs during his two hour plus show, and yet he was just as powerful and clear at the end as was when he started. Truly was one the best performances we had ever seen from any singer. At the end, the ladies were flinging their bras, panties, and flowers onto the stage.
Growing up in the 90s and 00s, all I knew from Tom Jones, was "Sex Bomb", which I've always disliked. That, "Kiss" and a few other songs were basically the only songs of his I knew. Then I discovered this live performance about a year ago. I was stunned. Holy shit, the man could sing! And with such power. I also, only a year or two ago, realised how insane "The BeeGees" were. - Totally unrelated, but still. Only knew them from "Staying Alive"
@@sdHansy The 60s, 70's, and 80's was the greatest era of music. It was like every talented singer and musician in the world converged to display their awesome talents during that period of time. I suggest that you explore the music of that era of the many great bands and solo artists which frankly just does not exist today.
I saw Tom in the old MGM Vegas in early 70s and in Greek Theatre in Los Angles in 80s. My favorite was Delilah.They were the best performances I have even seen. His music, dancing and the orchestra were unbelievable.
73 is the year that I was born, but as the youngest of 6 I had my older sibling's music growing up, so I listened to all sorts, including Tom Jones, and I love it all. My musical taste is extremely eclectic, from classical to metal. Personally, I've always loved 'green green grass of home' for some reason, but all of Tom Jones, and so many other artists, is awesome.
That song was written by Lonnie Donegan of skiffle fame which makes it more surprising. At least I think so. Tom has reenacted it on The Voice with Lonnie's son. Well worth a listen.
Tom Jones's ability to gently caress a word or phrase , then turn around and explode with strength and clarity all in one song , all sets him apart from any other singer.
As a 60+ male, I can honestly say I was never a Tom Jones fan - but - I'm smart enough to know quality when I hear it. All these crooner's from the past were there for a reason - they all had what it takes. You didn't get into the big show back then without merit.
You can't put Tom Jones in a box. He does way more than what's considered crooning. Of course, he's masterful at love songs, power ballads, and pop tunes... but with that superb voice and control, and his love for a wide range of music, he's done amazing performances in many genres. And he is still performing today with that powerful and rich instrument of his, mad skills, astounding charisma, and a lifetime of experience giving every performance his all!
@@dundaravewine2390 I thought I made that perfectly clear in the OP. Back then when I was growing up all these guys were swooning the ladies and singing like there's no tomorrow. You don't get to that level unless you're part of the cream of the crop. Best of the best.
He had his own TV show (1969-1971) and it was so amazing when he had guests on, (like Creedence Clearwater Revival, Janis Joplin, Shirley Bassey, Ella Fitzgerald, etc.), and would sing their own songs with them and outperform, out-soul, out-feel them. Fortunately for us, he's a LIVING legend. And, he can still bring it at 80+ years.
I cant help but smile and be amused by your jawdropping and enamored reaction. This is because you are most likely exhibiting the same giggly reaction as your grandmother's the first time she saw him sing on tv several decades ago.
You should watch the clip from the Voice UK when he did a duet with the son of the writer of this song. He is in his 80's and sounds as good as ( possibly better than). when this was recorded.
Back in the days when singers actually could sing for real without any tecnical support or such. Pure talent and a wonderful voice. And he still delivers amazing vocals at the age of 81.
Good old Welsh Balladeer can STILL slay ladies at 80! My father sang like him and Tom Jones was one of his vocal heroes. So, I get a bit teary-eyed hearing him sing, just because my Dad sounded like him. WOW!
It wasn't uncommon during Tom's concerts for women to swoon and throw their panties on stage. He had that special charisma and talent that had that effect on women.
Elvis Presley was also a huge fan of Tom Jones, whenever they were both in Las Vegas Elvis would go to all of his shows and sometimes meet him after the shows. Tom told a great story of this on a talk show, I can't remember which show.
To be fair, Tom loves nothing better than name dropping, let’s face it, it’s a great game where he knows he will ALWAYS win, who else has had his career and is still going strong? BTW too my wife to watch Tom Jones in concert approx 15 years ago, he still had the women throwing their knickers onto the stage.
You hit on the one thing that everybody can agree on. Sir Tom Jones had/has one of the most powerful voices of any entertainer. And the man can still belt 'em out with the best of them at age 81. Simply amazing.
This is one of the greatest performances ever by one of the greatest singers in music history. He's 82, a judge on The Voice. Heard he retained 90% of his voice. Had many hits. What's New Pussycat is upbeat and a great song, worth reacting to. Keep up the good work
90% of Tom is 50% better than any male vocalist, today, with the exception of Dimash, perhaps. Tom does have a richness in his voice that Dimash doesn't have, though. 😉🙂
No technology, no autotune - just passion, talent and raw ability. Hard to imagine someone today being able to to do this. Always nice to see it being appreciated.
ya you totally get it, darling. like you said, the moment he starts singing he just radiates uncompromised masculine power and confidence, and you just know this is gonna be great. the way he attacks a note at full power and hits it pitch-perfect-- that is something many opera singers cannot do. many singers stand like they're giving a lecture, but tom jones has more of a fighter's stance, drawing power from the floor, bring it up to his diaphragm, and it rises from there flowing into all kinds of tonality and dynamic expression. he's an awesome ladies man and a consummate vocal artist the likes of which we will never see again
My mother, aunts, and older female cousins loved Tom Jones back in the day. His charisma appealed to the women and he reacted accordingly. He had a show on television, "This Is Tom Jones", and he always kissed the ladies on the front row in the audience while performing. Women would toss their underwear onto the stage as he was singing.
In August 1974, Elvis gave a big introduction to Tom Jones, who was catching one of his shows: 'There's somebody in the audience I'd like you meet. To me ... he's my favourite singer. He's one of the greatest performers I've ever seen, and the greatest voice, Tom Jones.
Sir Tom will be 82 this year 2022 and he can still sing as great as he did back in 1967 🤩 his voice brings all the passion and emotion into every song ✨ and yet he still has not been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 🤔 that’s a travesty 🌟
Good morning Patricia it seems like the rock and roll Hall of Fame is a joke. Not sure if you're familiar with Johnny Maestro and the Brooklyn Bridge or that matter Johnny Maestro and the crust he had so many hit songs Back Then and he's not no Rock and Roll Hall of Fame either and he should be he is well deserving of it. So Tom Jones definitely should be in the Hall of Fame but he's not either and I don't get it politics kills me. Have a great day young lady. God bless
Sir Tom Jones is "The Man!!!" He is in his early 80's and he can still belt out those notes like it's nobody else's business!!! Nice reaction Schnell, but it's obvious that you have now been "mesmerized" by Sir Tom Jones!!! Breathe girl, breathe...Take a deep breath...exhale & you'll be alright!!! LOL!!!
Tom Jones (by the actions of Queen of England his legal name is now Sir Tom Jones) is 82 years old now and yet he still does concerts every once in a while including in Las Vegas and he has been and is the lead judge on The Voice UK and at times sings while waiting on another contestant and the entire crowd and all the other judges go absolutely crazy good listening to him.
Tom is a legend. Now Sir Tom Jones. His real name is Tom Woodward but he has gone under Jones since the start. His voice is so powerful he often broke microphones in the 60s to 80s. Not until technology caught up can his Mics withstand his powerful output. He still performs today despite being over 80. He is a mentor on the UK the Voice and often does impromptu songs during auditions.
If you watch the voice UK, Tom is a judge there, and often sings some of his old songs. He sounds as good now, at 80, as he did when young. Love your reactions!
Tom has continued performing and recording throughout the years. Just finished his latest tour. Dropped his latest album this May. Hit No.1 on the UK charts. He does new songs, exploring different genres... not just his early hits. That's the way he's rolled (and rocked) over the years, and continues. Love him!
Tom Jones still has that great voice today at 81 years old. Tom Jones was born June 7 1940 in a town called Pontypridd in Wales U.K. Tom is still with us & still preforms !
Nice to see you reacting to some of the classic singers from the 60's & 70's. Tom Jones is a Welsh singer who has one of the smoothest powerful voices around. And he was a showman too, in fact he was a big heart-throb with the ladies. He has so many hits such as "It's Not Unusual", "What's New Pussycat?", "Green, Green Grass of Home", "Delilah", "She's a Lady". He covers a lot of genres. Hope you will look into more of them. He is still performing & is a coach on "The Voice" UK version. He also had a variety show from 69 - 71 & had some of the biggest music stars at the time.
You just experienced the Tom Jones effect. It has had that exact effect over women of all countries ever since. There are few men that have ever lived who can get to women the way Tom can by singing.
I'm an old guitarist, 73 years old. This performance by Tom Jones is sill the most powerful vocal performance by a male singer that I've ever heard to this day. I thought Jones was a more powerful and more "manly" singer than Elvis. There are no singers like that today. I find that sad. By the way, this song sort of explains why women threw their panties and hotel keys on stage when he appeared. Look up the Tom Jones Show. He speaks some Welsh at the end of each show.
I used to think Tom was a bland non threatening radio freindly ballard singer. But i got bitchslapped. This is the best live vocal performance i have ever heard
This song was written for him by the late great Lonnie Donegan. Tom Jones as a vocal coach on "The Voice" heard a singer on the show that he recognised. It was the son of LD. Tom chose him after his audition and they performed this song together. In his 80's he still belted it out - fantastic! Look up the performance on TH-cam and comment on that!
You mention the Voice in the UK listen to him singing Cry To Me an impromptu performance unrehearsed the audience were calling for him to sing so he did and he smashed it at the age of 82 he sounds better than many of todays singers and it is all him no auto-tune just pure Tom Jones
Billboard Magazine rated this as the 2nd greatest live performance of the 1960's ( behind The Righteous brothers Bobby Hatfield singing, ' Unchained Melody ' on the Andy Williams Show at # 1. ) Jones, like Bob by Hatfield was nicknamed, ' 1-take Tom ' because he always nailed it on the 1st take, whether it was in the studio or when he sang a song live like this that was being recorded. Btw, Jones NEVER had a vocal lesson. Keep in mind, in the 1960's, there was NO autotune. Jones killed it EVERY time he sang
Just a little short history. Tom Jones was a coal miner in Wales as a young man. On Saturday nights in the local town pub, Tom would be encouraged to sing all night for free beer. Someone (a talent scout) spotted him in the pub one night and suggested that he audition for a record company. He made 'It's Not Unusual' and a new star was born. In the late sixties he had a weekly variety show on BBC tv and it was the best show on the air. Today, in his eighties, Tom can still sing all of his hits and they sound just as good as they did years ago. A real artist!
@Chris Whyte ...Just a few corrections.... Tom's father was a coal miner, but Tom never worked in the mines. Tom contracted tuberculosis about the age of 11 or 12, and was confined at home for two years recovering. He wasn't supposed to sing or talk or go out to school or play with his friends during that time. He had regularly sung at school and chapel as a lad, and he loved to sing. It was always his dream to be a singer, but most youth there ended up becoming coal miners at a young age. However, the doctors made it very clear to his parents that Tom must never go to work in the mines. It would kill him. So, by 15 he was working odd jobs, but never did go down in the mines. Tom married at age 16, and with a baby on the way he went to work in construction, had a job in a glove factory, and also sold vacuum cleaners door-to-door to support his little family. But it still was his dream to be a singer, and sang most evenings and weekends in the workingmen's clubs and pubs. Tom eventually was heard by a musician and business man from London who's happened to be visiting family near where Tom was singing. That man realized Tom has an amazing voice and masculine appeal. He struck up a conversation with Tom and convinced Tom (and himself) that he could manage Tom's career. So Gordon Mills became Tom's manager and brought him to London. He also wrote the song that became Tom's big break, "It's Not Unusual."
Tom is 83 now and out on tour sounding amazing still. My dad listened to Tom and watched his TV show when I was little. I always knew of Tom and liked him but I've recently rediscovered him and I'm blown away by his amazing vocals. Legendary!
that song was written by Lonnie Donegan who was a well known singer in England himself which came to light on the Voice UK when Lonnie's son Peter was a contestant and Tom was the sole coach to turn for him. So when Peter introduced himself Tom asks him if he is any relation to Lonnie Donegan and Peter says "that's my Dad" and Sir Tom answers with " no - - not really " shocked that this is his old friend's son. Tom and Lonnie actually did play out together and of course Lonnie had written Tom's big hit I'll Never Fall In Love Again for him so Tom asks Peter if he knows the song and the Peter and Tom do an impromptu concert together - - if you use Peter Donegan its easy to find on You Tube
They did an amazing duet. Peter Donegan was smart enough to let Tom do most of the singing and then sang harmony on the last. It was a wonderful musical moment.
When it comes to Tom Jones I’m still speechless! This is ur first seeing him, u know what it was like seeing him for the first time at 7 yrs old on ur bday. I’m just about 60 & I remember it like yesterday. It was all planned & I mainly was only child there, he sang couple songs & after he announced someone’s bday then he came straight over to me. He asked questions & I told him I was 7 he asked my dad something then he leaned over gave me a kiss on my lips & lol took a sip of my drink & sent more over then got up sang happy Birthday. After that he sang this song & green grass of home one of my favorites. He is a great person and artist. Have a lovely day and night Ciao
Tom Jones was underrated for the day because of big names (The Beatles, etc.) that were popular at the same time. But his voice was truly one of the very best ever. Check out some of his other songs, like "Delilah", "Without Love", and "I Who Have Nothing" (you’ll be glad you did). You may want to also do some reaction videos on Engelbert Humperdinck, another gentleman with an incredible voice that was popular around the same time as Tom.
Well, he was hardly "underrated" 🙄 He was massively successful, had a string of big hits, had a very successful tv show, was widely respected and loved, etc...
I was kind of familiar with Tom Jones; hits in the past and didn't care much for them. But this song, as it did to you, also blew me away!! Such a powerful voice and at the same time such a control, going from the high notes to his lower vocal range - AMAZING!!
The mighty king of the valleys is still semi-active in the business in his 80's and, while dented by age, his voice can still flatten a lot of the opposition.
The Welsh people are known for their singing voices and sir Tom is no exception he sings with such passion power and heart and of coase charisma true talent great reaction to a wonderful performer and a great guy
LOVE IT !! I loved your reaction !! You could see it in your eyes. You were hanging on every note !! Great Song, TJ still going 50 yrs. later. Love you...
From the materials I read about Tom Jones, whenever he's performing, the lady listeners were swooning and I gathered, bras and underwear were thrown at him on the stage.... even keys to hotel rooms. Your reactions? I am not surprised.
Thanks, Schnell. Tom Jones' vibrato and control is iconic. Ironically, I think the modern equivalent is Angelina Jordan -- like TJ, she sustains vibrato and focal fry from chest voice to head voice. This ability creates enormous emotional connection with the audience.
Just how he captivated you he did everyone, his voice was and is one of the best crooners of our time and he swept the scene when he performed women just totally loved him.
Wow so many memories as my mom and aunts would gather to watch the Tom Jones Show. I remember them fan girling out as he would come on lol good memories. Thank you so much for your reaction to Sir Tom Nd for all you bring us. As always much love to you and your and stay safe.
I'm not ashamed to admit I watched his show, while sitting next to my mom. The man could flat out sing and, as much as I love rock/pop, I love the standards, as well. 😊
I've listened & heard Tom Jones sing that song many times through the years ! He was a true staple of singers , growing up in the 60's & 70's ! But !,,,, I honestly don't think , I've ever seen a more Beautiful woman Listening to Tom Sing . Good Lord you are absolutely Gorgeous , Tom Jones is still awesome today ! Rock On !
Schnell got twitterpated!! Tom said, once in an interview, "I don't get flowers. What litters my stage is panties and room keys." How sad for him... Fantastic voice. Lots of charisma. Many ladies through the years have swooned.
I think Tom should get more recognition than he gets! I think he has the best male voice ive ever heard! I love Sinatra and Elvis but Tom has so much power!
Once upon a time... long ago... singers could actually sing. From the 70's garage bands popped up on every corner. Only the best bands had hit songs. Mid 70's Punk Rock showed image was more important than singing Mid 80's Grunge appeared. The air waves were flooded with mediocrity. Rap was all about the personalities. Minorities, equality, diversity Now it's all about marketing and looks before singing ability It's so good to see reactions to the best singers of the past.
I'm sure you will be excited to know .......In 2006 Jones was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. His 2010 album Praise & Blame was a mix of gospel, blues, spirituals, and folk music and earned him stellar reviews, and his Spirit in the Room (2012)-covers of songs by musicians such as Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, and Paul Simon-was also well received.
Lol…Schnell….meet Tom Jones….remember watching this when it first came on the air in the 60’s. My mother was in love with him. She reacted to him the same way you did. He truly is a living legend. Unbelievable voice…
Tom is THE MAN! I grew up wishing I could sing like him. As great as Dimash is, I still wish I could sing like Tom. It is really a shame that there is no one, today, who can sing like this man. You would've been a huge fan of him, back in the day. 😊 There are few performances that rival this one. Elvis performing 'Supsicious Minds,' in Vegas is one of the few.

At least she didn't try to throw her panties at him.
Tom is now a judge on Britain's Voice talent show and often sings for them. Even at 80 years old he still has it!

Crazy thing is, occasionally he'll sing on the British version of the Voice and he STILL sounds so dang good.
Even now at 82 yes old, he still sings good. He has not lost it

Tom Jones has more talent than any one person deserves! This is one of my all time favorite songs but all of he is great no matter what he sings!
No one outside of a trained opera singer has ever matched the power in his voice.
You should watch the clip from the Voice UK when he did a duet with the son of the writer of this song. He is in his 80's and sounds as good as ( possibly better than). when this was recorded.
I've seen it it was great she should see it.
i came here to write the same.

Peter Donegan was the young man's name. The writer of this song was his dad, Lonnie Donegan.
LONNIE DONEGAN
He's always been and still is a great singer, in the style of the masculine Welsh voice.
Still a rogueishly handsome man too.
One of the best ever.
I saw Tom Jones in concert 14 times ... the man could sing, he could dance, and he certainly was easy on the eyes !! He's still got "it" today !!
Old School Still rocks the girls hearts 50 tears later.. 2 voices that will never see again they shook the world Sir Tom Jones & Elvis Presley
Tom Jones is still alive and doing well….

It wasn't unusual?

I'm waiting for a you tube reviewer to throw her undergarments at the video. lol
One time I threw my tighty-whities, he ducked, and they stuck to the wall. Then they threw me out on my arse. 🥴
Elvis Presley was also a huge fan of Tom Jones, whenever they were both in Las Vegas Elvis would go to all of his shows and sometimes meet him after the shows. Tom told a great story of this on a talk show, I can't remember which show.
The two best ever on stage at the same time #MAGIC!!!!
That makes sense my folks ran into him in an elevator in Memphis Holiday Inn back in the early 70's.
Tom talks about this quite often
He told a story while on Conan's show where he was in the shower and Elvis comes into the bathroom and starts talking to him.
To be fair, Tom loves nothing better than name dropping, let’s face it, it’s a great game where he knows he will ALWAYS win, who else has had his career and is still going strong? BTW too my wife to watch Tom Jones in concert approx 15 years ago, he still had the women throwing their knickers onto the stage.
We were all fawning after Tom Jones. SAW HIM BACK IN THE SIXTIES. MADE my knees weak.
If you ask me, this is one of the greatest live performances of the 20th century! Tom Jones… you got a love him! Love your reaction Schnell!

Simply amazing.
He is still incredible live, I saw him last year for the first time at 81 just amazing!
His voice is better than ever when he sings during the breaks on the Voice UK.
This is one of the greatest performances ever by one of the greatest singers in music history. He's 82, a judge on The Voice. Heard he retained 90% of his voice. Had many hits. What's New Pussycat is upbeat and a great song, worth reacting to. Keep up the good work
90% of Tom is 50% better than any male vocalist, today, with the exception of Dimash, perhaps. Tom does have a richness in his voice that Dimash doesn't have, though. 😉🙂
@@davidgoldstein1526 Totally agree. Englebert still sounds great. Probably 82. Did a concert in Hawaii few years ago sounds fantastic.
No technology, no autotune - just passion, talent and raw ability. Hard to imagine someone today being able to to do this. Always nice to see it being appreciated.
Tom was so handsome!!!!! What a powerful voice, with so much meaning!!!!
ya you totally get it, darling. like you said, the moment he starts singing he just radiates uncompromised masculine power and confidence, and you just know this is gonna be great. the way he attacks a note at full power and hits it pitch-perfect-- that is something many opera singers cannot do. many singers stand like they're giving a lecture, but tom jones has more of a fighter's stance, drawing power from the floor, bring it up to his diaphragm, and it rises from there flowing into all kinds of tonality and dynamic expression. he's an awesome ladies man and a consummate vocal artist the likes of which we will never see again
Masculine power and confidence. You said it!! Makes you weak in the knees ❤️❤️❤️
My mother, aunts, and older female cousins loved Tom Jones back in the day. His charisma appealed to the women and he reacted accordingly. He had a show on television, "This Is Tom Jones", and he always kissed the ladies on the front row in the audience while performing. Women would toss their underwear onto the stage as he was singing.
Still has that special something!
You were in heaven when he first sang this..
Your reaction to him is like the reactions that young women had over 50 yrs ago..
In August 1974, Elvis gave a big introduction to Tom Jones, who was catching one of his shows: 'There's somebody in the audience I'd like you meet. To me ... he's my favourite singer. He's one of the greatest performers I've ever seen, and the greatest voice, Tom Jones.
Sir Tom will be 82 this year 2022 and he can still sing as great as he did back in 1967 🤩 his voice brings all the passion and emotion into every song ✨ and yet he still has not been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 🤔 that’s a travesty 🌟
Good morning Patricia it seems like the rock and roll Hall of Fame is a joke. Not sure if you're familiar with Johnny Maestro and the Brooklyn Bridge or that matter Johnny Maestro and the crust he had so many hit songs Back Then and he's not no Rock and Roll Hall of Fame either and he should be he is well deserving of it. So Tom Jones definitely should be in the Hall of Fame but he's not either and I don't get it politics kills me. Have a great day young lady. God bless
Sir Tom Jones is "The Man!!!" He is in his early 80's and he can still belt out those notes like it's nobody else's business!!! Nice reaction Schnell, but it's obvious that you have now been "mesmerized" by Sir Tom Jones!!! Breathe girl, breathe...Take a deep breath...exhale & you'll be alright!!! LOL!!!
Tom Jones (by the actions of Queen of England his legal name is now Sir Tom Jones) is 82 years old now and yet he still does concerts every once in a while including in Las Vegas and he has been and is the lead judge on The Voice UK and at times sings while waiting on another contestant and the entire crowd and all the other judges go absolutely crazy good listening to him.
Tom is a legend. Now Sir Tom Jones. His real name is Tom Woodward but he has gone under Jones since the start. His voice is so powerful he often broke microphones in the 60s to 80s. Not until technology caught up can his Mics withstand his powerful output. He still performs today despite being over 80. He is a mentor on the UK the Voice and often does impromptu songs during auditions.
It was great watching you react in exactly the same way as thousands of women have before you. He had the power and charisma to make you fall for him.
I was 13 when this song came out, and he awakened what I later learned was love (outside of family) in me. I had SUCH a crush on Tom!
If you watch the voice UK, Tom is a judge there, and often sings some of his old songs. He sounds as good now, at 80, as he did when young. Love your reactions!
Tom has continued performing and recording throughout the years. Just finished his latest tour. Dropped his latest album this May. Hit No.1 on the UK charts. He does new songs, exploring different genres... not just his early hits. That's the way he's rolled (and rocked) over the years, and continues. Love him!
Tom Jones still has that great voice today at 81 years old. Tom Jones was born June 7 1940 in a town called Pontypridd in Wales U.K. Tom is still with us & still preforms !
I love how he can go higher than you would expect with such a heavy tone. He lightens up just in time, but still sounds full and dark.
Nice to see you reacting to some of the classic singers from the 60's & 70's. Tom Jones is a Welsh singer who has one of the smoothest powerful voices around. And he was a showman too, in fact he was a big heart-throb with the ladies. He has so many hits such as "It's Not Unusual", "What's New Pussycat?", "Green, Green Grass of Home", "Delilah", "She's a Lady". He covers a lot of genres. Hope you will look into more of them. He is still performing & is a coach on "The Voice" UK version. He also had a variety show from 69 - 71 & had some of the biggest music stars at the time.
If you search for him performing with Tanya Tucker "Help me make it through the Night". This was a very sexy performance.
You just experienced the Tom Jones effect. It has had that exact effect over women of all countries ever since. There are few men that have ever lived who can get to women the way Tom can by singing.
I'm an old guitarist, 73 years old. This performance by Tom Jones is sill the most powerful vocal performance by a male singer that I've ever heard to this day. I thought Jones was a more powerful and more "manly" singer than Elvis. There are no singers like that today. I find that sad. By the way, this song sort of explains why women threw their panties and hotel keys on stage when he appeared. Look up the Tom Jones Show. He speaks some Welsh at the end of each show.
I'm 60 years old and this still brings tears to my eyes tom is the GOAT IN BRINGING THE FEELING S OUT
I used to think Tom was a bland non threatening radio freindly ballard singer. But i got bitchslapped. This is the best live vocal performance i have ever heard
Schnell it is awesome you are reacting to Tom Jones, one of the greatest vocalists of my lifetime. Tom has a huge fan base and for good reason.
I remember his old show when I was a kid. The ultimate ladies man.
This song was written for him by the late great Lonnie Donegan. Tom Jones as a vocal coach on "The Voice" heard a singer on the show that he recognised. It was the son of LD. Tom chose him after his audition and they performed this song together. In his 80's he still belted it out - fantastic! Look up the performance on TH-cam and comment on that!
You mention the Voice in the UK listen to him singing Cry To Me an impromptu performance unrehearsed the audience were calling for him to sing so he did and he smashed it at the age of 82 he sounds better than many of todays singers and it is all him no auto-tune just pure Tom Jones
The man is so smooth and soulful. Still charismatic and sexy.
Billboard Magazine rated this as the 2nd greatest live performance of the 1960's ( behind The Righteous brothers Bobby Hatfield singing, ' Unchained Melody ' on the Andy Williams Show at # 1. ) Jones, like Bob by Hatfield was nicknamed, ' 1-take Tom ' because he always nailed it on the 1st take, whether it was in the studio or when he sang a song live like this that was being recorded. Btw, Jones NEVER had a vocal lesson. Keep in mind, in the 1960's, there was NO autotune. Jones killed it EVERY time he sang
Just a little short history. Tom Jones was a coal miner in Wales as a young man. On Saturday nights in the local town pub, Tom would be encouraged to sing all night for free beer. Someone (a talent scout) spotted him in the pub one night and suggested that he audition for a record company. He made 'It's Not Unusual' and a new star was born. In the late sixties he had a weekly variety show on BBC tv and it was the best show on the air. Today, in his eighties, Tom can still sing all of his hits and they sound just as good as they did years ago. A real artist!
@Chris Whyte ...Just a few corrections.... Tom's father was a coal miner, but Tom never worked in the mines.
Tom contracted tuberculosis about the age of 11 or 12, and was confined at home for two years recovering. He wasn't supposed to sing or talk or go out to school or play with his friends during that time.
He had regularly sung at school and chapel as a lad, and he loved to sing. It was always his dream to be a singer, but most youth there ended up becoming coal miners at a young age. However, the doctors made it very clear to his parents that Tom must never go to work in the mines. It would kill him. So, by 15 he was working odd jobs, but never did go down in the mines.
Tom married at age 16, and with a baby on the way he went to work in construction, had a job in a glove factory, and also sold vacuum cleaners door-to-door to support his little family. But it still was his dream to be a singer, and sang most evenings and weekends in the workingmen's clubs and pubs.
Tom eventually was heard by a musician and business man from London who's happened to be visiting family near where Tom was singing. That man realized Tom has an amazing voice and masculine appeal. He struck up a conversation with Tom and convinced Tom (and himself) that he could manage Tom's career.
So Gordon Mills became Tom's manager and brought him to London. He also wrote the song that became Tom's big break, "It's Not Unusual."
Listen to him sing Cry To Me on The Voice UK . No prep, no rehearsal just sang it. 81 years old and he still has IT
That's the most accurate description of a blown away woman to Tom's greatness.
Sir Tom is an absolute legend....still got a great voice in his 80's!
Tom is 83 now and out on tour sounding amazing still. My dad listened to Tom and watched his TV show when I was little. I always knew of Tom and liked him but I've recently rediscovered him and I'm blown away by his amazing vocals. Legendary!
Tom Jones! The Legend
that song was written by Lonnie Donegan who was a well known singer in England himself which came to light on the Voice UK when Lonnie's son Peter was a contestant and Tom was the sole coach to turn for him. So when Peter introduced himself Tom asks him if he is any relation to Lonnie Donegan and Peter says "that's my Dad" and Sir Tom answers with " no - - not really " shocked that this is his old friend's son. Tom and Lonnie actually did play out together and of course Lonnie had written Tom's big hit I'll Never Fall In Love Again for him so Tom asks Peter if he knows the song and the Peter and Tom do an impromptu concert together - - if you use Peter Donegan its easy to find on You Tube
Sorry I didn't see your reply before I wrote mine.
I saw that!! It was sooo great!
They did an amazing duet. Peter Donegan was smart enough to let Tom do most of the singing and then sang harmony on the last. It was a wonderful musical moment.
I was such a fan back in the day. He and Elvis were the two singers I could scream over. So beautiful and his voice is stunning.
Tom Jones is the voice of Wales. Incredible talent even today thankyou Tom! you're amazing. Lovely report so to speak too!
When it comes to Tom Jones I’m still speechless! This is ur first seeing him, u know what it was like seeing him for the first time at 7 yrs old on ur bday. I’m just about 60 & I remember it like yesterday. It was all planned & I mainly was only child there, he sang couple songs & after he announced someone’s bday then he came straight over to me. He asked questions & I told him I was 7 he asked my dad something then he leaned over gave me a kiss on my lips & lol took a sip of my drink & sent more over then got up sang happy Birthday. After that he sang this song & green grass of home one of my favorites. He is a great person and artist. Have a lovely day and night Ciao
Tom Jones was underrated for the day because of big names (The Beatles, etc.) that were popular at the same time. But his voice was truly one of the very best ever. Check out some of his other songs, like "Delilah", "Without Love", and "I Who Have Nothing" (you’ll be glad you did). You may want to also do some reaction videos on Engelbert Humperdinck, another gentleman with an incredible voice that was popular around the same time as Tom.
Well, he was hardly "underrated" 🙄
He was massively successful, had a string of big hits, had a very successful tv show, was widely respected and loved, etc...
He had to work in the shadow of Tom a bit but still a magnificent singer. Another , of course, was Frankie Vaughan.
The thing about this reaction, is that Tom blew you away, and you blew ME away...great detail in your analysis.
I was kind of familiar with Tom Jones; hits in the past and didn't care much for them. But this song, as it did to you, also blew me away!! Such a powerful voice and at the same time such a control, going from the high notes to his lower vocal range - AMAZING!!
And all the women went crazy for Tom Jones , he is one of the greatest singers ever
The mighty king of the valleys is still semi-active in the business in his 80's and, while dented by age, his voice can still flatten a lot of the opposition.
The Welsh people are known for their singing voices and sir Tom is no exception he sings with such passion power and heart and of coase charisma true talent great reaction to a wonderful performer and a great guy
This is the reason he is SIR Tom Jones.
Great reaction like always! ❤️ I bet your Dad is so happy to see you enjoy Tom 😁
LOVE IT !! I loved your reaction !! You could see it in your eyes. You were hanging on every note !! Great Song, TJ still going 50 yrs. later. Love you...
I love your reaction, I'm from that era and love Tom Jones and watching you react to this is amazing, I've always felt the same way.
Welcome to one of the greats. Enjoy the rabbit hole!
In the late sixties Tom had a tv show…my girlfriends and I watched and swooned. Still love him😊
From the materials I read about Tom Jones, whenever he's performing, the lady listeners were swooning and I gathered, bras and underwear were thrown at him on the stage.... even keys to hotel rooms. Your reactions? I am not surprised.
27 here but throws such a powerful presence ❤❤❤always best to SEE HIM sing!
Great reaction. Sir Tom Jones sings with rare power and authenticity.
Growing up in the 70's I heard Tom Jones all the time cause my Mom sure loved her some T.J.
Thanks, Schnell. Tom Jones' vibrato and control is iconic. Ironically, I think the modern equivalent is Angelina Jordan -- like TJ, she sustains vibrato and focal fry from chest voice to head voice. This ability creates enormous emotional connection with the audience.
Just how he captivated you he did everyone, his voice was and is one of the best crooners of our time and he swept the scene when he performed women just totally loved him.
You should react to Tom Jones and Janis Joplin singing her song Raise Your Hand from his TV show. It's incredible to hear them together!
Great reaction. I love his phrasing - so patient - never rushes - makes you wait for it!
Wow so many memories as my mom and aunts would gather to watch the Tom Jones Show. I remember them fan girling out as he would come on lol good memories. Thank you so much for your reaction to Sir Tom Nd for all you bring us. As always much love to you and your and stay safe.
I'm not ashamed to admit I watched his show, while sitting next to my mom.
The man could flat out sing and, as much as I love rock/pop, I love the standards, as well.
😊
An absolute stud! A Gift from God to all of us! Great voice!!
this is how real people sing!
I've listened & heard Tom Jones sing that song many times through the years ! He was a true staple of singers , growing up in the 60's & 70's ! But !,,,, I honestly don't think , I've ever seen a more Beautiful woman Listening to Tom Sing . Good Lord you are absolutely Gorgeous , Tom Jones is still awesome today ! Rock On !
Schnell got twitterpated!! Tom said, once in an interview, "I don't get flowers. What litters my stage is panties and room keys." How sad for him... Fantastic voice. Lots of charisma. Many ladies through the years have swooned.
Tom was (maybe still is) the consumate swordsman!
I think Tom should get more recognition than he gets! I think he has the best male voice ive ever heard! I love Sinatra and Elvis but Tom has so much power!
TOM IS THE MAN
STOP. CAN WE JUST HEAR HIM THREW!!!!. THANK YOU💕🦋
This was recorded from his US television show. There were some amazing duets there as well.
Once upon a time... long ago... singers could actually sing.
From the 70's garage bands popped up on every corner. Only the best bands had hit songs.
Mid 70's Punk Rock showed image was more important than singing
Mid 80's Grunge appeared. The air waves were flooded with mediocrity.
Rap was all about the personalities. Minorities, equality, diversity
Now it's all about marketing and looks before singing ability
It's so good to see reactions to the best singers of the past.
I'm sure you will be excited to know .......In 2006 Jones was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. His 2010 album Praise & Blame was a mix of gospel, blues, spirituals, and folk music and earned him stellar reviews, and his Spirit in the Room (2012)-covers of songs by musicians such as Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, and Paul Simon-was also well received.
Lol…Schnell….meet Tom Jones….remember watching this when it first came on the air in the 60’s. My mother was in love with him. She reacted to him the same way you did. He truly is a living legend. Unbelievable voice…
Tom is THE MAN! I grew up wishing I could sing like him.
As great as Dimash is, I still wish I could sing like Tom.
It is really a shame that there is no one, today, who can sing like this man.
You would've been a huge fan of him, back in the day. 😊
There are few performances that rival this one. Elvis performing 'Supsicious Minds,' in Vegas is one of the few.
You might want to consider a comparison of this version and the he did on the Voice UK. He still has it 50 years later.
I'm really a sucker for Tom Jones. His music makes me so happy, sad, excited, and many more!
This is one of the best performances you will ever hear, so strong, passionate, and effortless , gets to you n the right place!
Totally live and stripped back. Not an auto tune in sight!
It's amazing when a singer can make the "water's flow". Sweetest reaction. : )
