I would highly, highly, highly recommend that you react to "If I only knew", a marvelous song, and one of Tom Jones' most underrated songs, with a brutal rhythm. Impossible not to dance to the rhythm of this song.
Some months ago, you guys did Joe Cocker singing "You Can Leave Your Hat On". Tom Jones did a KILLER cover of that song, which was featured in the wonderful movie "The Full Monty". I hope you will give that a shot sometime. He also put his own spin on Prince's hit song, "Kiss". And, though he's more of a crooner-type than Tom, I would love for you guys to react to "Release Me" by Englebert Humperdinck (who is also from the UK). It's a classic.
This is actually from Tom's *second* comeback, in the late 1990s. He'd faded off the charts after 1973, but was discovered by the MTV generation when he had a hit with a cover of Prince's song "Kiss' in 1988. But while he stayed on the UK charts after that, he didn't have international success again until 1999, when his album "Reload" featured this and successful covers of "Burning Down the House" (by Talking Heads) and "Mama Told Me Not to Come" (originally by Eric Burdon, most famously by Three Dog Night). Again, his chart success eventually faded, but Tom never really goes away. An Icon forever. And again, I will keep begging you for Tom joining in with Crosby Stills Nash & Young to do "Long Time Gone" on his 1970 TV special. Unforgettable.
@@soreallover960 Newman wrote it in 1966. He didn't release his own version until 1970, though. It was originally intended for The Animals, but they broke up, so it became a Burdon solo recording.
He had a number one album in the UK last year with Surrounded By Time. He just got pipped at the post for a number one with Praise & Blame when Eminem’s record company pulled some shenanigans. So his chart success has not faded. It’s stronger than ever. And now, he’s getting critical acclaim.
I saw him in concert around the time he did Kiss. He was still fantastic. This song and Kiss were so unexpected from him. Young people loved it as well as older fans.
So hard to believe he’s 82 years old! What a wonderful life he has had. It was like yesterday 1969 in August I saw him at the Greek theater in Los Angeles with my sisters. I was 20 years old. It was my very first concert and it was Tom Jones what a memory that was happy birthday Mr. Jones and many more!
When you talk about the confidence of Tom Jones, just remember for how many decades he's already been on stage, and what amazing songs he delivered thru that time. No wonder they call him "The Tiger" !!!
My mom has been a huge Tom Jones fan since the 1960s, she has seen him in concert so many times I've lost count. One curious thing, when i jokingly accused my mom of being one of those ladies who throws her undergarments on stage she never actually denied it...🤔
This came after his relaunch that his son was a massive part of. It started with a cover of Prince’s Kiss. This track was taken from a full collaboration album featuring various artists. Every track is a duet or collaboration of some kind.
The album - Reload - cover of Talking Head's "Burning Down the House" with the Cardigans was another hit from this LP. But Prince's Kiss cover is from 1988 (recorded with Art of Noise band) when Reload album is from 1999. I'm not sure that we can say that is the same "relaunch"…
Happy Birthday Sir Tom!🎂 This song was huge in Europe the summer of 2000. My wife and I adopted from Ukraine then, and you heard this eight times a day walking the streets in Simferopol. We had to go to Warsaw, Poland to obtain a visa for our new son and it was all over the place there too.
You've got to do Tom Jones doing his hit song, "What's New Pussycat"! It's a fun song!! Notice the way Tom does his nose when singing! He still does it to this day!! I'm a die-hard Tom Jones fan; love the man!!!
He sang live last week to celebrate the Queens Jubilee in front thousands he still sounds fantastic he is now in his 80ts by the way he sang Delilah one of his hits from the 60ts just incredible 😊
82 and he still has it. His voice still sounds as good as ever. His said his voice is “alive and well and living in an 80-year-old man,” he says. “But my voice is about 30.” He's even having a 2022 Concert Tour
He's just as good today as he was when he first started. He's a judge on The Voice UK, check it out. He does some singing on there & it is great to hear him!
Shirley Bassey was the female Tom Jones. Give a listen to her singing Goldfinger at the Royal Albert Hall 1974. You won't believe how they packed that big voice into that little lady
This came out in the 90s and my dad loved the song. Watching my dad dancing around the house it was something a teenage should never see lol love Tom Jones thanks to my dad I grew up in some great music
Tom Jones sang a song for the soundtrack of the movie "The Full Monty". The song is "You Can Leave Your Hat On", great song! Joe Cocker does a version of this song too, but I prefer "Sir Tom's" version.
Tom is always changing things up. That’s why he is a legend. He does a great cover of Prince’s Kiss - see the official video with Art of Noise. He also had a big hit with A boy from Nowhere/born to be Me which is about a famous bull fighter from Spain. He did about 5 songs on an album based on the stage musical. He sings in a more opera type voice. He also had a big hit with a techno/rap song where he does a long scream in it which is amazing and fun. Mr Jones has done many up tempo songs. You just haven’t heard them. If you want to see a really early and young Tom about 24 years old. Check out the black and white video of him singing watch ya gonna do from the Ed Sullivan show. He does some nice dance moves too.
Don’t stop, Tom!! I pretty much ignored Tom Jones in my teens and early 20’s. When he really started going over the top with songs like Sex Bomb and You Can leave Your hat On, I became a fan.
My mom always loved Tom Jones. I wonder if she ever heard this song though?..ha. I'm going over there tomorrow and play this for her. Can't wait to see her expression. :))
As others have said... Tom, collaborating with the band Art of Noise, did an excellent cover of Prince's hit "Kiss"... and it would be cool to see you react to it. But I think you should see Prince's original version first!
From starting off being born in Wales, to knowing Elvis and Priscilla being amongst that privileged few to have been in the kings company of friends, Tom has had 1 heck of a life :-)
You need to do "Momma told me not to come"; it's a cover he did with Kelly Jones of the Sterophonics. Was a highlight of the ninetees renaissance of his career.
When I saw the title "Sex Bomb" I had to giggle because I knew this reaction video was going to be fun! This song was everywhere when it came out and everyone was singing along to the chorus. Young and old. When I was a child, my father sang another Tom Jones song. Occasionally he would yell "What's New Pussycat" when I entered the room or came home from school. I was often too shocked to sing back whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. 😄
I was smiling from ear to ear, watching you react to that song. Isn't he amazing? Sir Tom had a hit with "Kiss" in 1994. But you should listen to it first by "Prince" (he wrote it), who had a hit with it in 1986. 🎵❤🔥🎙
Tom Jones was knighted by the Queen, he has an OBE, so he's Sir Tom Jones, he is now 82 years old, his full name is Thomas Jones Woodward, he was born in Treforest, pontypridd ( the dd in English is th its pronounced pontypreeth), which is in a country called Wales, which is one of the 4 countries that make up the UK. I'm from Wales myself, just a different area to Tom, I'm from Swansea (pronounced Swanzee). Our flag 👉🏴 You guys should check out his collabs the did one with a Welsh band called Stereophonics & the song called Mama Told Me Not To Come, the other collab he did was with a band called The Cardigans with the song called Burning Down The House. Both awesome I think you guys would love.😎❤️🏴👌
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Do "It's Not Unusual" but one of Tom Jones impromptu performances as a judge on the UK version of The Voice. If not that, the clip from his performance on the Ed Sullivan show.
One thing you might not know about Tom is he is famously well endowed to the point that there are endless jokes about it. He had a big resurgence in the 90s doing duets with younger bands and singers
Tom was 82 yesterday. Happy B'day Tom. My parents played a lot of his records [my dad is 83] when I was a child. Later as an adult myself [61 next month], I too was playing his records. I especially like his "Green Green Grass of Home".
There was an Asia's Got talent audition of this song. The group was named Miss Tres. You won't believe how the group does. You can find it on You Tube.
Hi from the UK. Today I have been revisiting some of your older videos for the pure entertainment value. Keep doing it, the enthusiasm gives me a lift. And Tom was, and still is, the man.
Happy Birthday Sir Tom…he was the first artist I knew all the words to because that’s all my mom & grandparents listened to. My grandparents came to America directly from Wales 🏴…. I am proud to also be Welsh Sir Tom…you are an international treasure!!!! ☮️ I’m sure Carlton would agree.!!!!
He's still going strong in his 80's. He's had hits in every decade since he started I think. Amazing. And believe me he was a sex bomb in his prime years. He had affairs all over the world with some of the most beautiful women in the world. I don't know how his wife put up with it. She never toured with him and stayed home with the kids. I think they must have had an understanding. But in his way he loved her and was devastated when she died a few years ago.
I have a very road less traveled Performer/song that'll open a musical door few've know before: *LOUDEN WAINWRIGHT the III - Dead skunk in the middle of the road. Muse Blues. Red Guitar .* . This guy is a 1 man anomaly with personality that's Homegrown & never duplicated. Please try him out, he is that musician few have found, that diamond in the rough that remains as it was found and not precision cut for the masses. Dudes righteous.
There's a dance mix of this song (mixed with an old Sister Sledge song called "all american girls") that was a big club hit in the late 90s. It was really popular👏👏👏
Have you heard his version of Prince’s Kiss? It came out in 88 with a group called The Art Of Noise and totally revived his career. Also he is a judge on the Voice UK and sings live on there very worth watching, even not for a reaction but in your own time. The guy’s in his 80s now and can still do it.
If you want another Tom Jones song, check out his duet Help Me Make It Through The Night with country singer Tanya Tucker. There is some chemistry there!! I'm glad I found you guys, love what you are doing!
Check out the Tom Jones TV show, 1970. He had lots of then current singers and music groups like Janis Joplin, The Rascals, Crosby Stills & Nash, and many more. Great lineup of stars and Tom performed with them. Really awesome.
Four generations of females in my family have LOVED this man.He even covered Prince! He has evolved each era with age, experience, and now faith. He's more chill now. Find him singing Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah on YT. Flows and still gives a fantastic live performance! Despite all the flirting, he was married FOREVER until she recently died. She put up with women throwing their panties onstage at him!
No one else could ever give the delivery on this song. My Mama would've even thrown her panties on the stage. She only ever saw him on TV but she would be fanning herself. It was too much seeing Mama like that. Daddy just laughed. There's 7 of us kids so wr all knew Mama n Daddy liked each other a lot. 🤣🤣
@Teresia I think your Mama's reaction was a common occurrence among women across America watching The Tom Jones Show during the 1960s. it sure was true with my Mom and her girlfriends back in the day!
y,all need to check out Tom Jones when he sings on Britains THE VOICE. He stops the show, Will.I.AM, J-Hud, all break out their cell phones and start recording, He is the BOMB even in his 80s !!!!!
30 odd years after the start of his career he was really pushing the sexy lothario side and really had a big comeback doing collaborative songs with contemporary artists in the late 90s...but honestly his best stuff is like "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" written by Lonnie Donegan for Tom.
When I was s kid my Mom and I used to watch the Tom Jones show. My Mom was a tad infatuated. :D Oh yeah that was "Tom Jones - Treat Her Right - This is Tom Jones TV Show". With all his dance moves.
Back in the late 60s, when I was a prepubescent girl, TJ had a weekly tv show. Women used to throw their keys and even panties on the stage when he sang for example "Delilah". I watched every Friday night. His hip thrusts and skintight britches made Elvis hip swivels look tame. I'd quickly turn away if my parents walked by. 😳 Tom was my first guilty pleasure. Rob Squad can you react to Tom's version of Delilah and Ohio Players, Skintight or Fire. OP were one of the first funk disco in the mid 60s.
Love Tom Jones, another sad day for our generations music, R.I.P. Jim Seals of Seals & Croft and thank you for your part in giving us great music over the years
You two will really enjoy Tom's version of "If I Only Knew", it has swagger, horns, and a fun video. He also does a very good cover of Talking Heads "Burning Down the House" with The Cardigans as well as a great and timely cover of Todd Snider's "Talking Reality Television Blues". Please add them all to your list.
Thank you for your comments! Tom is having some fun here, this song was huge in the UK, he was flirting with us and we loved it!! He reminded us once again what a great voice he has and is still current!
The man didn't want to grow old. I remember that this was the last time I saw him without grey hair. The next time it was a shock, But he still looks good fir his age even now.
Watch Tom sing Leave Your Hat On in Orlando at past 80 years old. I met him backstage in 1978. He is so friendly and nice and appreciates his fans. He has new music out now. He turned 82 this year!
Tom Jones covered Prince's KISS. It is a must watch.
Yes, but let's give respect to The Art Of Noise
They also need to hear the Prince version first. It's not a spoiler as they're very different.
Yes I agree 👍 💯
Bit of a random one he sang the theme for duck dodgers with the flaming lips
Ur tight a great different version 😊.
I would highly, highly, highly recommend that you react to "If I only knew", a marvelous song, and one of Tom Jones' most underrated songs, with a brutal rhythm. Impossible not to dance to the rhythm of this song.

Love "leave your hat on".
Sir Tom can make a phone book smoulder.
His covers of singers from Prince to Leonard Cohdn are all classic.
@@BertSmithLondon yes, it is. They should add it to their movie channel.
I've recommended Englebert several time...Amber will love him...

not sure if the masses agree but your channel.... the reactions, the enthusiasm, the truth and the passion....it shows... superb work Rob Squad!!

Add my vote to Tom Jones' cover of "Kiss", with Art of Noise backing him up. I suspect you'd enjoy a trip down the Art of Noise rabbit hole.
I've been telling them for two years to cover "Kiss"
Jones also did a cover of Burning Down the House with The Cardigans.
@barry me too love kiss 💋
AON j'approuve !

@@filippajak9022 He was active throughout the 90s. This track put him back in the charts, but his “modern image” started with the prince cover.
There's a reason the ladies throw their underwear at Sir Tom during his concerts in their droves!!! He is a total legend!!!
Not a dry seat in the house.
Ya and he's a total pig in return.
Now he gets these gigantic granny panties flying at him
Happy Birthday Sir Tom!🎂 This song was huge in Europe the summer of 2000. My wife and I adopted from Ukraine then, and you heard this eight times a day walking the streets in Simferopol. We had to go to Warsaw, Poland to obtain a visa for our new son and it was all over the place there too.
Amber you will love to hear Tom sing I Who Have Nothing. He puts so much emotion in it.

YESSS!!! I love this song. Genuinely. His voice is so incredible.
Shirley Bassey was the female Tom Jones. Give a listen to her singing Goldfinger at the Royal Albert Hall 1974. You won't believe how they packed that big voice into that little lady
I second this amazing suggestion!
Fourth it
Only Artist ever to record Three theme tunes for James Bond movies
I mentioned Shirley in my post lol. The perhaps female equivalent of Tom. They deffo should react to the grand Dame! 👍🇬🇧
I've been asking for Dame Shirley Bassey for ages, I can't wait to see what they make of such a performance.
Tom is 82 now and he´s still as hot when he was 28 back in the times of Delilah. One of the greatest voices ever, even Elvis was a fan of his.
Always love any songs from Sir Tom Jones. Don’t ever stop playing his songs or you will loose me.
You should react to Prince's song "Kiss", and then do Tom Jones' cover of it.
This came out in the 90s and my dad loved the song. Watching my dad dancing around the house it was something a teenage should never see lol love Tom Jones thanks to my dad I grew up in some great music
Tom Jones sang a song for the soundtrack of the movie "The Full Monty". The song is "You Can Leave Your Hat On", great song! Joe Cocker does a version of this song too, but I prefer

HAPPY 🎂 BIRTHDAY TOM JONES!!!
GREAT REACTION ROB SQUAD!!
Sir Tom Jones. Almost single-handedly responsible for the baby boomers. And undoubtedly inspiration for Austin Powers' dance moves.. Bloody legend.
My first time seeing him on TV as a little girl, I hid on the floor behind the recliner and just blushed. It was almost sinful !!!😜😜😂
Helene Fischer, Tom Jones - Sexbomb (Live - Die Helene Fischer Show) He is 83 years and it’s a must watch you will both love it 👍🏻😁🏴
My mom always loved Tom Jones. I wonder if she ever heard this song though?..ha. I'm going over there tomorrow and play this for her. Can't wait to see her expression. :))
You might be surprised at her reaction. lol You have to let us know.
"If I Only Knew" would be the perfect next Tom Jones song. It again shows a bit of a different side. Probably my favorite song by him.
Y'all are so cute...love watching your reactions. Don't forget, just cause there's snow on the roof doesn't mean there's not a fire in the furnace!
What a hoot. Tom still has a great voice.

Tom still had it!
Four generations of females in my family have LOVED this man.He even covered Prince! He has evolved each era with age, experience, and now faith. He's more chill now. Find him singing Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah on YT. Flows and still gives a fantastic live performance! Despite all the flirting, he was married FOREVER until she recently died. She put up with women throwing their panties onstage at him!
Tom Jones owns this song and I think is the best rendition of them all.
No one else could ever give the delivery on this song. My Mama would've even thrown her panties on the stage. She only ever saw him on TV but she would be fanning herself. It was too much seeing Mama like that. Daddy just laughed. There's 7 of us kids so wr all knew Mama n Daddy liked each other a lot. 🤣🤣
@Teresia I think your Mama's reaction was a common occurrence among women across America watching The Tom Jones Show during the 1960s. it sure was true with my Mom and her girlfriends back in the day!
Thanks for playing this song, I never heard it before
Happy birthday Ton Jones!
y,all need to check out Tom Jones when he sings on Britains THE VOICE. He stops the show, Will.I.AM, J-Hud, all break out their cell phones and start recording, He is the BOMB even in his 80s !!!!!
He's an entertainer
30 odd years after the start of his career he was really pushing the sexy lothario side and really had a big comeback doing collaborative songs with contemporary artists in the late 90s...but honestly his best stuff is like "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" written by Lonnie Donegan for Tom.
My buddy made mix cd's in highschool, in the early 2000's, this song would go on every time
I have to say I wish y'all had been introduced to this song with the dance version because it is FIRE!
When I was s kid my Mom and I used to watch the Tom Jones show. My Mom was a tad infatuated. :D Oh yeah that was "Tom Jones - Treat Her Right - This is Tom Jones TV Show". With all his dance moves.
I would never leave this man alone with my woman, not even for a second.
Back in the late 60s, when I was a prepubescent girl,
TJ had a weekly tv show. Women used to throw their keys and even panties on the stage when he sang for example "Delilah". I watched every Friday night. His hip thrusts and skintight britches made Elvis hip swivels look tame. I'd quickly turn away if my parents walked by. 😳 Tom was my first guilty pleasure. Rob Squad can you react to Tom's version of Delilah and Ohio Players, Skintight or Fire. OP were one of the first funk disco in the mid 60s.
I think they have reacted to Delilah. If you search their channel you should be able to find it. 🙂
Love Tom Jones, another sad day for our generations music, R.I.P. Jim Seals of Seals & Croft and thank you for your part in giving us great music over the years
You STILL need to do "Help Yourself"!!! If you want upbeat older Tom Jones this is the one!!!
The way he delivers those lyrics in "Help Yourself"... mmmmm!
You two will really enjoy Tom's version of "If I Only Knew", it has swagger, horns, and a fun video. He also does a very good cover of Talking Heads "Burning Down the House" with The Cardigans as well as a great and timely cover of Todd Snider's "Talking Reality Television Blues". Please add them all to your list.
Second “If I Only Knew”! The opening vocal is worth the price of admission all by itself.
Thank you for your comments!
Tom is having some fun here, this song was huge in the UK, he was flirting with us and we loved it!!
He reminded us once again what a great voice he has and is still current!
Another good one by Tom is You Can Leave Your Hat On.
The man didn't want to grow old. I remember that this was the last time I saw him without grey hair. The next time it was a shock, But he still looks good fir his age even now.
Happy Birthday Sir Tom Jones..you still can knock a woman's socks off
Two songs you guys gotta check out:
1. Vehicle - Ides of March
2. In Zaire - Johnny Wakelin
Happy Birthday to Prince too!
Watch Tom sing Leave Your Hat On in Orlando at past 80 years old.
I met him backstage in 1978. He is so friendly and nice and appreciates his fans. He has new music out now. He turned 82 this year!
