a voice that is 1 in a billion. so glad he took care of himself. we can still enjoy him. he finally stopped dyeing his hair. he looks cool again. tommy, can you hear me? you are THE man.
Fifty years ago I bought my parents to see Tom in Framingham, Mass at a dinner club. They loved it. One of the few times they went out. Still going strong old Tom. When Mike Douglas had him on his TV show , Mike was taken aback with Tom's rough character look. But Tom belted out his tunes on 1970's TV and Mike Douglas's jaw dropped.
Absolutely wonderful! As a child Tom Jones was one of the artists that influenced me most. I learned so much from his recordings and concerts. He's truly one of the best singers I've ever heard. One of my dreams is to have that privilege of singing with him. +E Singer-songwriter / Guitarist - Edwin Vazquez

Tom has such integrity when he sings, an eclectic mix of songs and influences, and as he's become older, we've been catching up with how amazing his voice is! Love his sense of fun too
Fabulous ,obviously suffering with a Cold and yet still gives Everyone all He has got and what He has got is such a pleasure ,what a great Entertainer,what a Voice ,Thank You so much.Great Guitarist too, love all but love the End of The Road xxx
Wow, real master! And this concert, this concert reveals many personal feelings and the desire to get involved in all the variations of an great old lion
yay! but you don´t happen to know mahlatini from soweto/south africa? he is called "the lion of soweto", what a voice! it´s a pity that the studio recordings of him and the mahotella queens sound so slick - i had the honour to see this man and the mahotella queens live during the early 90s (their biggest time were the 60s/70s as far as i know) and they were really rough and good - unforgettable! love and best wishes from germany
WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! From a mad keen 75yo Aussie fan. had the pleasure to see Tom Live in London,England in the late 60's & he was magnificent & on stage nonstop for at least 1 & half hours. Everyone of course went bonkers at his performance. Will never forget that concert.
I'm so glad his people contacted you to do this! It gives him an opportunity (as others have pointed out) to just sing, with the bare minimum support, and man, does he pull it off.
This is cool!😎 To see the legendary Tom Jones up close and intimate like this is great! Wow! I saw him live at Summerfest years ago and I went specifically to see him live. He had a slick suit on and backup singers. His Voice was booming over the crowd! I was impressed and said now that’s.a Singer! He sang all his classic hits and the crowd reacted whenever a familiar classic hit of his started. Especially It’s Not Unusual and Whats New Pussycat? The crowd was all ages and into every song! A Great show! I was so happy to see him live finally because my late uncle loved his music but never had the chance to see him live. As for me, I remember watching his TV show years ago as a kid and the excitement that generated especially with the ladies. I thought this guy can really belt out a song! So I finally got to see and hear him live and I was impressed! He is one of Greats!
Seen him live twice, killed it each time. Last time at Bluesfest a young girl next to me said "Cor ! Wish my Grandad was like that !" And then carried on dancing with the rest of us. He's still got it, a real pro, and a real class act.
My mom used to just gush over this man when his show would come on. At the time I thought he was just a poser, now I understand just how unsophisticated my taste in music was then and just how talented this man truly is.
Beautiful songs Tom. The Green Green Grass of Home is a favorite. My father was a singer and Everytime he sang it I would always cry. Still do when I hear you sing it. All the songs are Brill. ❤✌
I have loved this man for 40 yrs. Saw him perform live 3 times. In Niagara Falls, at the end of my street. There isnot another voice in the world better than MY TOMMY!
Everyone that calls themselves a singer should be made to stand up and sing in this way, no back up singers, no whole band to make them sound good. I never cared for old Tom much back then, but you must give him his due, he does have a talent!!.
This is just amazing stuff. Tom Jones killin' it with an equally amazing guitarist. Thanks NPR for these awesome intimate glimpses into these incredibly talented artists.
I absolutely Love this man, I like him, was confined to a bed for a year and a half afflicted with scarlet fever when I was 9 and 10 years old, so I know what he means when he states that you don't take life for granted. If I hadn't missed the schooling I would have graduated the same year that It's Not Unusual came out. My hubby who was born the same year as Sir Tom, always followed Toms success, he loved Sir Toms music, my husband passed a few months back, but I am very sure he is listening to Praise and Blame, his kind of Soul. Sir Tom you are sexier now than ever Luv Ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First time I've heard "At the End of the Road", the Jerry Lee Lewis song. Tom tears it up, Brian Monroney giving up some fine rock-a-billy chops on the Tele. Love it! Been a Tom Jones fan since 'It's Not Unusual' hit the airwaves.Glen ParkerCanada
I’ve always underrated him and considered as boring old spice. He comes and makes the best tint desk appearance of them all. I salute you Tom and I must admit: your legendary status is well earned!
Wow. This was great to see. As always, I feel he's a cut above the rest. His enduring talent is one for the music history books~Always good. Always pleases. What a gift he is~
@cpolite 5374 You continue to melt my heart for over forty years. Your songs have blessed many for years. You, your songs are perfection. Thank you with much love.
Just wonderful, a true master working. It is so nice to see him show other how it is done. Just him and guitar player, killing it. Thank you NPR and Tom Jones.
Incredible behind the scenes listen to one of the world's greatest singers EVER! He may be old now...but he still is a legend! Stupendous stuff! Thanks for posting....a real treat...
So this was just before "Praise and Blame" - the album that turned me into a Tom Jones fan for life. His latest quartet of albums are absolutely extraordinary.
What a man. He melts my soul like butter with that voice. I can't believe they don't appreciate this. I guess their mothers didn't name them Delilah, though.
Wow. Just wow. Does he still perform in Vegas? Well pre-corona. If he comes anywhere near me after all this, I’m definitely going to see him. More young folks need to appreciate this type of talent. A mic and a guitar. Stand flat footed and belt!
People who saw him live in his heyday have compared the power of that voice to a steam train coming into a station. Not much appears to have changed in 40+ years.
i think that there r stars that never lose it`s shine even if the years pass and pass, i think tom is one of them, but with that voice he is a supernova, artist like him there r no more

69 years old when he sang this-- 69! in a cramped room, sweating, with one guitar player -- 69yo people! Beautiful.
He's still got it in him!!
now he has 84, and still have it.
Tom understands his voice and with excellent breath control he has managed to produce a very pleasing sound for 50 years, A true Pro.
Yes and
This man exudes absolute talent. And he's really very humble with it.
I can't not like and admire this man.
I wanted to watch the first video uploaded in this playlist and found this great. We love Tiny Desk Concert.
a voice that is 1 in a billion. so glad he took care of himself. we can still enjoy him. he finally stopped dyeing his hair. he looks cool again. tommy, can you hear me? you are THE man.
Amen.
Simply stellar
That HE actually offered YOU to do a "Tiny Desk Concert" goes to show how awesome this series is.

When Mike Douglas had him on his TV show , Mike was taken aback with Tom's rough character look. But Tom belted out his tunes on 1970's TV and Mike Douglas's jaw dropped.
His voice is simply amazing .. a completely natural singer with a huge sound.. I could listen to him forever :)
So brilliant, a voice such as his do not need big productions, this is great.
Absolutely wonderful! As a child Tom Jones was one of the artists that influenced me most. I learned so much from his recordings and concerts. He's truly one of the best singers I've ever heard. One of my dreams is to have that privilege of singing with him. +E

This man is the best singer in the world. God gave him this gift and I have enjoyed his singing all my life , thank you Tom Jones
What a legend. Still has that twinkle in his eyes and a voice better than most people in the charts today!
An icon and a wonderful video. Mr. Jones' music was all around the house as I grew up. A real vocalist. Thanks, NPR, for this treat.
I take this special and unique moment as the most wonderful present on the occcasion of my birthday,,today the 4th of May.Thank You very much.🙏🌺

Thank you, dear Tom, and your amazing guitarist. I needed this comfort today.
This dude could sing circles around most people even if he were on life support. Out of this world.

Holy shit. I started tearing up at "The Green Green Grass Of Home". Incredible. And Telecaster's are sweet as hell.
Thanks Tom Jones for all the many many years of a great sounding voice. God Bless.
Sounds as great as he did when I went to see him 20 years ago.
Top geezer Tom 👍
One of the finest vocals you are ever likely to hear, be thankful you get to hear this man sing for you, its one of your most joyous days, trust me

The mic is like a mile away from his face, he's so powerful
Fantastic as always....a true artist that can stand on his own without big backing and special effects....

I Love You Sir Tom! ❤️
I don't care who you are or how old you are you have to accept and admit that Tom Jones is a straight cool cat.
Boom 💥
Daniel McClenahan yes he is.
Si senior!
@@thomaswilson7365 yes
@@zlopseto3516 toma ya!
My very first recording I owned was this mans music in the late 60's...What a gift to the music world !!!
I hope they get more music legends on the show. Tom's got a powerhouse voice and shouldn't be missed when he's on tour.
Wow. This was great to see. As always, I feel he's a cut above the rest. His enduring talent is one for the music history books~Always good. Always pleases. What a gift he is~
whats up
Bravo. Still has it Tom. Love this uncut version. Brilliant with just guitar...refreshing. NYC
Tom crosses all generations. Thank You!
What an amazing voice - he is aging like a fine fine wine! I like him even better now....
....he is such an awesome singer. I love that dude. What a classic.
Thanks Sir Tommy ! I have listened to you since I was a kid . My mom loved you.
The mic is positioned like that cuz he’s singing from the center of his being. ❤️
@cpolite 5374 You continue to melt my heart for over forty years. Your songs have blessed many for years. You, your songs are perfection. Thank you with much love.
Apparently not feeling his best, but actually I believe at the end of the road was his very best. Love this man, so talented.
Just wonderful, a true master working. It is so nice to see him show other how it is done. Just him and guitar player, killing it. Thank you NPR and Tom Jones.

Class all Class Sir Tom and your guitarist is pretty special too. Awesome Sir.

What a man. He melts my soul like butter with that voice. I can't believe they don't appreciate this. I guess their mothers didn't name them Delilah, though.
One of pop music's most under-rated voices. This, at age 77, is stunning!
nearly 70 years old here and still sounding great.
lordfluxington Tom Jones is 79 here but 80 now this year.
Must be fifty years ago that I heard 'green, green grass of home'for the first time......what a voice.
Always brilliant Tom Jones, and funny, too. Nervous standing there: LOL! He’s just as and maybe more personable in a live concert.
Браво, сильнейший исполнитель планеты, ТОМ ДЖОНС, обожаю восхищаюсь не перестаю слушать с восторгом!.
A musical treasure. My mom loved this guy way back.
He still rocks in 2021.
This man is under-appreciated. Even by me. It was only recently that I discovered how special he IS, Still kills it.
Let me get on this first before I watch the 2021 performance.
Ich liebe diese Konzerte, reduziert auf einige Zuschauer und nur einen Musiker, der ihn begleitet. So kommt Toms grandiose Stimme voll zur Geltung. ❤
Wow. Just wow. Does he still perform in Vegas? Well pre-corona. If he comes anywhere near me after all this, I’m definitely going to see him. More young folks need to appreciate this type of talent. A mic and a guitar. Stand flat footed and belt!
No, he gave up Vegas about 10 years ago. He felt he’s “been there, done that.” A master who has a center.
He can still belt them out....... A 60s, 70s, Icon........
Where is the double-like-button? Outstanding!
Awesome performance in such an intimate setting-Tom gave his all, despite having a cold! The man's incredible!
What a man. What a voice, fantastic.
People who saw him live in his heyday have compared the power of that voice to a steam train coming into a station. Not much appears to have changed in 40+ years.
Amazing. Listen and hear a living legend.
The new cd "24 Hours" is brilliant. GO and see him LIVE while you can - he does a great show!!
It's simple and pure.. Unbelievable Tom!
It's easy to forget what a great singer he is.
such a well tuned and brilliantly played guitar
Solo decir EXCELENTE
I absolutely love this man, his voice is PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still looks great and that voice is great !
i think that there r stars that never lose it`s shine even if the years pass and pass, i think tom is one of them, but with that voice he is a supernova, artist like him there r no more
You are the best, Sir. My full respect for your being humble and courageous
Green, green grass of Home; he is dreaming of His small town near Cardiff where grass is always green... Bless
superb guitar player !!
Great voice and strong presence. A real big star. Nowadays "crooner" have a lot to learn from him. Complimenti Sir Jones.
Amaising!!!! See when he start to sing all his body have the tythm of song.... I love all, and his humor marvelles, 💖
I have to admit that this guy is fun to listen to, a true artist for sure.
my fav when I was young watch on channel 9 " This Is Tom Jones" wow a long time ago...still so good as then
the guitar player is no slouch either. what a set of licks.
The guitarist is outstanding and not given enough credit.
What a player
The son Mark it is.
…”for the Tiny Desk set, he performed with Brian Monroney, his musical director since 1996 and a masterful guitarist.”
I settled down on my knees to to a prayer for Tom. He's fantastic. Would have been the best moment in my life to meet him.
