    The way he looks at peter was priceless.
    It shows how much he missed his friend.
    His tearfully singing and very emotional while doing it.

    the most amazing part of this for me is that Tom Jones’ voice is 99% in tact from when he was in his 20’s. Jesus, ive never heard an 80 year old sound that good. and with zero prep and totally spontaneous

      Well there was Tony Bennett who was recording albums with current artists until he was almost 90. But Tony didn't do the things Tom has done. Though I am sure Tony created quite a swath as he has moved through his life. To hear Sir Tom's voice even for a little bit was a thrill. The time he has spent on that show is some of the best on TV. In fact it is really the only reason I watch. I watch the kids version quite a bit because it hasn't yet become sullied. And every now and then you find a Gracie-Jayne Fitzgerald from Sir Toms stomping grounds, Wales. She is going to be special. It would be a fun thing to have Tom sing with Gracie.

    • @tomholland3806
      @tomholland3806 ปีที่แล้ว

      His father Lonnie wrote it indeed. When Lonnie brought the single out it wasn't a succes. (1962) At some point Tom Jones heard about the song and asked Lonnie if he could bring it out as a single as well. (since no one knew Lonnie even brought it out. Tom Jones brought it out in 1967 and it hit number 2 in the charts. In 1976 Elvis Presley brought this song out with permission of Lonnie as well (since he heard Tom Jones singing it and Tom and Elvis knew each other).

Your dad was a very special person and a marvellous performer. I've just watched the TH-cam video of him with Chas and Dave, he was timeless and a true gentleman. God bless.

    Tom Jones is still fortunate enough to have the most amazing voice, there has never been anyone to rival his rich, strong passionate voice, the man is a TRUE LIVING LEGEND, Why doesnt he get the recognition he truly deserves, he has been giving us all such pleasure for 50 plus years now and has proved he can sing anything and put his own mark on songs. Why the heck hasnt he been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame????

      @@peterdoneganmusic How I would surmise Jones' recognition to the extent I would have the knowledge to comment:
      In the US, Tom Jones has his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame., which I find suitable in that his impact in the States has been as a solid broad-strokes entertainer moreso than someone who would identify himself as or be identified by others as "Rock & Roll"
      In the UK -- Sir Tom IS the British Elvis, and it's not even up for debate. In the Kingdom, he transcends entertainment and rises to the level of cultural icon.
      BTW, to call your father the British Hank Williams would not be hyperbolic -- the nature and volume of his songwriting plus his influence over what became the British Invasion merits favorable comparison. I know you're diligently carrying on his legacy as you chart your own musical path.

    Peter, I remember being very young and my Grandad taking me to my first ever live concert to see your dad! At the time I believed I was his biggest fan! I probably was his youngest seeing as I'm only 26 now! I remember you coming on the stage and singing before your dad came on and I was just amazed the whole night and for weeks after. Your dad was a massive part of me growing up much to my mother's dismay wondering why I couldn't grow up like a normal kid and listen to the spice girls. Instead I was blasting out all of Lonnie's classics 🤣. When this was first broadcast he rang me straight away and said "get the voice on Peter is singing!" he didn't even need to say any more I knew who he was talking about straight away! My grandad passed away on 18/09/20 and we are having one of your dad's songs at his funeral next month. My tribute to him as we used to sing them all the time together. Even through his dementia I'd ask him if he wanted to sing Lonnie with me and it would all come back to him! Thank you to you and your dad for keeping my bond with my grandad as strong as it was right up until his last day. ❤️

Your Dad’s song sung by Tom has become one of my all time favorites and I’m betting there are great things in store for you as well. Life goes by so fast that, we sometimes forget to take time to embrace all the ups and downs. At seventy three I realize that more now than ever before.

I can also remember songs like Rock Island Line playing on the radiogram and my dad singing along and dancing round the living room.

    The song I'll Never Fall in Love Again is my grandfather's favorite song ever recorded by Sir Tom Jones. And we are surprised that you're the son of the writer of that beautiful song. Because my grandfather always sang that song, it passes through to our generation to sing it, and now we are the one who I think only sings old songs here in my place. I want to share it more to younger age even I am a teenager. A very wonderful moment even it is a year after I saw this video. This sends some love from the Philippines 🇵🇭 ❤.

    Some people at the time queried as to whether this had been rehearsed. I can confirm categorically that it was not. I know Ben, who is bassist with the Voice band, and having seen the performance myself, I specifically asked him if it had been rehearsed and he confirmed that it definitely had not been. It was indeed a truly magical moment, and especially so for me as Lonnie Donegan was one of the people who gave me a lifelong love of contemporary music.

      Come on though Peter looks the image of Lonnie and Sir Tom is surprised? lol
      ALSO, Lonnie did NOT write the song for Sir Tom. Sir Tom made it his own, fantastically but this song was written a year or two while Sir Tom was playing with The Tommy Scott Orchestra in Wales and not widely known. haha.......................Makes a good story though..:)

    An incredibly beautiful moment that gets better with each step in the conversation. From Tom turning in his seat, to the realization who you are, to Tom’s reaction and story, and of course the mesmerizing duet. You are both humble and kind people and your talent and genuine nature shone through. It quickly became poignant and unforgettable for all of us.

All the best

    This took me back to another age. The great Lonnie Donegan, "My ol' mans a dustman, "Does ya chewing gum, Battle of New Orleans, Rock Island Line. Never fall in love again is the best Tom Jones single ever, and shows Lonnies talent as a truly great songwriter. That was an age of innocence that I loved. Lonnie would come on the old black/white television, and we would all get up and start a sing-along, Lonnie was a great favourite in our house. RIP Lonnie.

    Thanks for this piece - and your voice was great.
    As a young man, growing up in Glasgow, I can tell you that your dad was an inspiration for a whole city. He's always a real Scot, to us - even though he left early.
    On a personal level, I can't count the number of people that I've raved to, about your dad's drive, voice, etc., - but most of all, his incredible phrasing and delivery. Truly a unique man, in the history of British music. As somebody said, about British Rock 'n' Roll - 'Remember, Lonnie Donegan started it for you'
