Sir Tom Jones will be 83 this year and still sounds great. We had the greatest music back then. The artists could actually carry a tune and you could understand every word.
If you really enjoy Tom's music 🎶 he can still belt them out in his 80s... Go on TH-cam and do a search for Tom Jones as a judge on The Voice... He does it's a man's world duet with Jennifer Hudson that's out of this world... There are multiple episodes where Tom sings that are all enjoyable especially with him being in his eighties... There's also an episode where he does a song with a contestant she's a really good singer and they did I think the song cry to me from dirty dancing and they were both really good on that❤
If you go on TH-cam and research the Tom Jones show from I think it was in 1970 he had other musical guests on his show every week pull up the one with him and Wilson Pickett it's out of this world too
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", "Delilah", "What's New Pussycat?", "Green, Green Grass of Home", "She's a Lady". He covers a lot of genres. 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.
E H sings the same 8 songs over and over and over again. Tom has embraced the times and has morphed into the music genre. EH would be great if he changed with the times instead of remaining stagnant back in the 60’s-70’s
If you want a treat... find the video of Tom as a judge on The Voice (UK) where the son of the writer of this song auditioned. It ends with Tom and the son singing this song together.
He stood up and sang this song recently on a UK TV show called the voice, very ad hoc, over 80 and still has an amazing voice. I was 7, when this show was on, I remember being allowed to stay up and watch it as my dad loved Dusty Springfield and Tom Jones. We had amazing music back in the 60’s
Shon, I am 74 ... I was in High school with this music....the late 60;s and 70's are untouchable. great reaction . America's youth were awake and the music reflects that ! The sound younlike is the string in the orchestra .
Tom is singing this song with violins, a small string orchestra is accompanying him. We call this a 'torch song', because he's still holding a torch for his old flame.
He got an orchestra. He still performs. He was a heartthrob in the early 70's and he ended up with his own show....The Tom Jones Show....and you can check out a bit of that. He was all talent. It was all him.
One of his best performances from way way back of that song. He really made sure people heard him this time on live TV at the time :) He was the man! That instrument might be a cello or bass violin. I'm not sure, but it's an string instrument of some kind.
Thanks, Shon, for checking out Tom. He is a stellar performer in every sense. He will be 83 years old in June, and still has that rich and powerful voice. Tom's now in his sixth decade of his professional career that has spanned all kinds of genres, and many hit recordings (in 2021 his most recent album rocketed to No.1 on the UK album charts, and one of its songs made the Billboard 100 here in the U.S.), and he is still touring and wowing crowds worldwide! Since you are appreciating an old-school vibe, you might like to react to his moves and vocal performance in the song "Whatcha Gonna Do When Your Baby Leaves You" that was done in a production number featuring him on The Ed Sullivan Show back in the day. Though the dancers around him were choreographed, his moves are all his own. I also think you'd like a later performance he had with the legendary Van Morrison, doing Van's song "Carrying A Torch." It was a collab done when Tom was 50, Tom on vocals with a beautiful backing singer and Van with others on instruments. Too, there is Tom's rocking duet with another legend, his Aussie friend John Farnham, with a cover of AC/DC's "It's A Long Way To The Top [If You Want To Rock And Roll]." Two powerhouses! There are many videos covering more recent impromptu performances by Tom on The Voice UK, where he is a judge and coach. You should check out one where he does "Cry To Me" on the show, or one of the compilation videos that feature a selection of some of his impromptu performances, or songs with contestants on his team or in numbers performed with the other judges. Tom had a TV show called This Is Tom Jones. During the show's three-year run from 1969 through 1971, there were fantastic solos from Tom, as well as duets with legendary artists and bands... guests who included the likes of Ray Charles, Janis Joplin, Stevie Wonder, Jerry Lee Lewis, CSN&Y, Little Richard, and so many more). One of my very favorite performances of his from that popular TV show was his "I Who Have Nothing," from 1970. That one should definitely be on every reactor's list of performances to cover if they are going to react to some of Tom's work. As I said, this is one of my faves, but then I have favorite singles and favorite live performances of his from every age in his career. He was and STILL is that good. In an interesting side note, Tom, from earliest childhood, always loved music, moving/dancing, singing, and performing. As a preteen, he came down with tuberculosis, and spent two years bedridden from 12 to 14, isolated in his family home to recover, not allowed to go out at all. No going to school or church. No going out to play with the other neighborhood kids who had been his classmates and friends, or see anyone else in his room except his mom who lovingly cared for him, his dad who went out each day to work in the Welsh coal mines, plus the doctor who made regular house calls. Tom was not allowed to sing or even speak for two years as warned so that he'd get maximum rest and had to stay in quarantine until the infection was judged conquered. He and his parents were told he must never go to work in the mines as his dad had done and many youth did, because Tom's lungs wouldn't be able take it. It was a blessing that he recovered, and, beyond that, simply a miracle that he went on to a career characterized by such amazing vocal abilities and lung power after having had TB! Tom has made an effort to stay relevant as music evolved. He's been fearless, exploring various opportunities to do different styles of song and work with many different people. You can tell from his many collaborations that he truly enjoys working with other artists and groups (in clear respect and appreciation of their talent... all for making great music and never as a competition for the spotlight). As a consummate professional, he always gives 100% to those with whom he works, and to his audiences. His fans adore him, and are so grateful he is still with us and sharing his God-given talent with joy and undimmed quality!
I always love your reactions to the songs I grew up with. You honestly seem to appreciate the music from "back in the day", which warms this senior citizen's heart. Keep up the great work!
There was so much music talent in the 60s, 70s and 80s it was unbelievable. The bar was so high in those decades. Every week a new great new talent would be discovered. There were so many great talents that only the best of the best made to TV. A lot of great talents missed out being recognized simply because there were too many talented artists. Tom Jones was a stand-out male singer.
He’s Welsh & had tuberculosis as a child. Stayed in bed for 2 yrs to get well. Because of that illness, he couldn’t play sports & started singing. I think he went to London to perform at 15 or 16. And consequently to the US & the rest is history. The Queen knighted him. He is SIR TOM JONES & still sounds wonderful at 83 yrs old.
Nothing wrong with old school music,Shon!😄Tom Jones is a Legend!Spent the day with my best friend today,who also has a Button Phobia!Told her about you...more common than you think!😅Great reaction,Mate!🙂
He had a variety tv show here in the states and replayed in London. The series ran between 1969 and 1971 to total 65 colour episodes. Jones was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for "Best Actor in a Television Series - Musical or Comedy" in 1969. He is from Wales. Tom still tours at 83 and can still belt out the tunes. This during the times when artists male and female showed up dressed to entertain. The instrument is a violin 🎻
I've watched all your reactions to Elvis Presley .. now Sir Tom is our UK version of him. He's a Welsh singer, a hearthrob, (ladies underwear thrown at him that he used as handkerchiefs) He is even now a coach on The Voice UK. He and Elvis were friends but they never sang together ❤️
Sir Tom Jones has been a judge on The Voice UK for many years now. He has a string of hits, my personal favorite is She’s A Lady. He also did the title song to the James Bond movie Thunderball.
Loved your appreciation of the great Sir Tom Jones. Great to see young ones like yourself enjoyjng the music my generation grew up with. In 1967 I met my husband of almost 55 years and we still love and respect each other to this day. ❤❤ Maybe it was the great music that did it for us!!!! 😂
The Welsh are a different breed....Tom Jones has a lot of soul and a voice to match. One of a kind. I graduated from High School in "67. you are a kick Shon.
thx shon for playin sir tom jones! love that u have a good music spirit - u might like this one ! - haha hes still got it ! - sir tom jones & jennifer hudson - its a mans world ! love ur reactions to everything ! great smile ! great music heart ! music keeps us alive ! thx shon
Tom Jones was a better singer that ANY of your generation's "auto-tune" heroes. BET THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And listen man, this isn't "old school", it's just GOOD MUSIC and a GREAT SINGER, no matter when it happened. And YES, there were extremely talented people on the planet LONG BEFORE you and your generation showed up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yup. Definitely should go on a "sad song" play list. Tom is one of the greatest vocalists from back in those days, for sure! Great reaction, Shon! One for your "happy af song" play list could be "Mr Blue Sky", by ELO. (Electric Light Orchestra) ... I think it was the title track for Guardians of the Galaxy 2. Cheers!
This was on the Dusty Springfield show on the BBC, she was the greatest UK singer of her era - well worth a listen too. Try ‘You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me' from 1966. She sang duets with Jimi Hendrix, Tom Jones, Martha Reeves, Andy Williams and others and was a huge star.
Tom has sung with the best both black and white. He can sing most songs rock, blues, soul etc etc. There is no end to his talent. Really one of the greatest.
Another artist you should check out is Steve Marriott of Humble Pie doing a song Tina Turner wrote called "Black Coffee." The performance that is especially good is the one in an intimate session for the show Old Grey Whistlestop, preferred over the one in concert at the Fillmore East. The backup sistah group The Blackberries are awesome and Steve's vocals, WOW! He was a super-talented singer and guitarist. Was with both The Small Faces and Humble Pie as frontman in their groups. Sadly, he along with many other artists of his era were screwed over by managers and recording companies, and didn't get the rewards or recognition they deserved. Disillusioned, Steve got out of the mainline music scene after that, but did solo gigs He perished in a house fire. Another great gone too soon.
Who amongst us DOESN'T know that feeling? Only dudes who are too insecure to admit it, so they start frontin' instead. If it can happen to guys like me and you, eventually EVERYONE gets their turn, no matter how you look and how good you roll.
This is why Adele has so much appeal. She can sing! She has an authentic soulful voice. Tom Jones was/ is famous because of his extraordinary soulful voice.
The song was written for Tom by a guy called lonnie Donaghan and if you search on TH-cam , Tom is a judge on the voice and lonnie’s son comes on to audition and they both sing never fall in love again that his father wrote, it’s quite moving and tom is in his 80s and still got it 👍🏻
Tom jones had a residency at Caesars Palace for almost 5 years, he and elvis were great friends alongside frank Sinatra, he’s the best singer the uk have ever produced
Ask your mom or grandma or aunt…they probly heard of him!!! Saw him so many times in concert and I am tellin you at 80+ he still sounds that good !!! There are no voices this good nothing is in the way of the vocals!!
I love, love, love your reaction to his video. Yes, Tom is one of the great ones. I grew up listening to artists like him, Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Nat King Cole...I could go on and on. I hope you had a chance to check out his show called "This is Tom Jones. You will get a chance to really see Tom in action! Let us know how you liked it...okay?
I grew up loving this man's singing. I'm 60 so yes I'm still a number 1 fan. He's an original panty dropper. I really enjoyed your response to him. And he's still as great today.
What a great reaction, Shon! I remember watching this as a kid. Mom loved listening toTom Jones. She still does sometimes. I'm sure someone has already mentioned the sound you imitated so perfectly(gave me a chuckle) are the string section, violins, cellos, etc. I think the sound you're talking about is cellos. I could be wrong.
My cousin did Tom Jones I impersonation of Tom Jones at a wedding I attended in 1972, my female cousins dragged him on stage and were screening at him, I was like What until my cousin Sam sang, he was wonderful
I saw him live a couple years back. He is one of the few artists how can still belt out a song. The man is a legend!! So glad you love it Sho… check out Toms play list his version of Kiss by Prince is real good!❤
When I was a young boy and Tom Jones would come on tv, the house could have been on fire and I mean 3 alarm type…..and my mom wouldn’t have even noticed. That man got more butt than toilet seat. You go Tom….he da man!!
Please do a reaction to one of his live performances of "I Won't Crumble With You If you Fall". Written and performed when he was 81 years-old. He still has it.
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 Really like to see your reaction to Joe Bonamassa with Jimmy Barnes Live studio Song is 🎵Stone Cold 🎵🎶 You gonna love this one too Keep the good work my friend ✌️ Ps:The instrument you're talking about is Violon 🎻 or fiddle 🎻 same thing
Just standing there singing. No light show, no special effects, no auto tune. Just pure talent and raw emotion. Incredible.
NO autotune ,,, only talent

Hey, Shon, many of us alive in 1967 are still around. And are the luckiest generation to have had this wonderful music. Glad you enjoy it.

Seen in and it l9k to me that they like each other and I know dick cavet like her and I think tpm was shock at her voice
Tom was in a category of his on. Great reaction ❤
What a performer, and what a sharp looking man in that suit, he absolutely nailed it.
Tom Jones put on a live show that was so good! What a performer!! 🤗
Still performing today, touring and gigging at the age of 82 and yes he still sounds incredible
1960, 70, 80 Best music time ever.......Time is never come back.....
agree...music o those years were so good and had meaning
Those would be string instruments, violins, viola... Really adds to the song beautifully
He got an orchestra. He still performs. He was a heartthrob in the early 70's and he ended up with his own show....The Tom Jones Show....and you can check out a bit of that. He was all talent. It was all him.
Women back then fell in love with Tom Jones. That voice and that face! Perfection! I'm glad young people can hear these songs and appreciate them.
I knew a lady years ago that saw him over 100 times. Lol....woman were obsessed with him. ❤ He's still singing!!
Jill... Engelbert was better...
@@michaelasay8587 Hardly. At least that's my opinion. Everyone has a right to their own.

That background sound is called the wall of sound. It was invented by Phil Spector and was used in many of the hit songs of that era.
That's an orchestra playing, not the studio wall of sound of Phil Spector !

Ask your mom or grandma or aunt…they probly heard of him!!! Saw him so many times in concert and I am tellin you at 80+ he still sounds that good !!! There are no voices this good nothing is in the way of the vocals!!
He has a full Orchestra behind him. The Violins and Cellos are playing behind him. He was Knighted by Queen Elizabeth.
I love, love, love your reaction to his video. Yes, Tom is one of the great ones. I grew up listening to artists like him, Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Nat King Cole...I could go on and on. I hope you had a chance to check out his show called "This is Tom Jones. You will get a chance to really see Tom in action! Let us know how you liked it...okay?

I grew up loving this man's singing. I'm 60 so yes I'm still a number 1 fan. He's an original panty dropper. I really enjoyed your response to him. And he's still as great today.
Oh my heaven, I was in love with Tom Jones. He's Welsh.
What a great reaction, Shon! I remember watching this as a kid. Mom loved listening toTom Jones. She still does sometimes. I'm sure someone has already mentioned the sound you imitated so perfectly(gave me a chuckle) are the string section, violins, cellos, etc. I think the sound you're talking about is cellos. I could be wrong.
Chris Stapleton singing, It's a mans world, he is singing in a club, and is amazing
I graduated in 1964, lol, I’m 78 yrs old and proud
