I'm Growing Old is my favorite. 💜 Growing old is a privilege and a challenge. I grew old too (now 65), but my best friend is a little Hawaiian lady who is 87. She has great positive Energy which inspires me. Your energy and outlook inspires me, too! I almost got to see you perform in San Jose, but it was cancelled, and I was so heartbroken. Hopefully, I WILL get to see/hear you perform before one of us passes away. 😊 I luv every song you've ever sung, but most of all, 'What's New, Pussycat", which I scream-sing in my truck while I drive the lonely highway to town in Texas, where I live. Keep growing old, Mr. Tom Jones! This world needs You! 💗💗💗
remember when this was live on the Tom Jones show my mom loved him and Janis too like we all did . when they did this duet my whole family was up and dancing , jumping up and down in the living room except for my dad who just sat drinking his beer laughing and enjoying the whole scene .those were great times a very special time, i really miss those days...
Janice joplin and Jimi Hendrix were born 2 months apart. They both made their transition one month apart from each other. Barbiturates and heroin, is not a positive,Quinella😮
@@GeneRogers-di6cl Please don't apologise... I was actually replying to the commentor at the top who stated that Janis got him moving. He used to really send it on his show every week, just Google Tom Jones Dances Like Hell...he really sends it
Anybody who could do that well with Tom Jones, and was still only age 26? Absolutely amazing. Her pants were a beautiful color here. ( i notice colors) Wow, imagine what more she could have done. People still really miss her
I saw Janis Joplin in Hartford, CT when I was nineteen yrs old. I never saw anything quite like it in my life! What a performance - such raw talent. What she did with her voice was nothing short of amazing. So glad I grew up in the 60s and 70s. What a great time to be young.❤I never imagined a paring of Tom Jones and Janis. But it was fantastic.
My GAWD! I never knew this existed. Man, it's so good to see these two performers giving it all they had! Live - no overdubs, no lip-syncing, no fake playing. It's the real thing, baby. Great band, good energy in the room. Wish I'd been there. Thanks for sharing this one, Tom! I'm so glad you had the opportunity to sing with Janis.
I am 68 and I was fortunate to have seen Janis Joplin in Kansas City, Kansas at The Memorial Hall Auditorium on a Sunday afternoon in 1969 , I don't remember the month but she was with The Full Tilt Boogie Band and Sea Train opened the show, she was wonderful, I was only 14 or 15 and my friend Steve Sassman and I went, his Mom dropped us off and after the show we went to McDonald's and ate $.15 cheeseburgers and$.12 fries , Janis did two shows that day and we went to the early one, she was a great singer and I will always remember her, RIP Janis
@@Back2blonde Was she with The Full Tilt Boogie Band or Big Brother , I think that The Full Tilt Boogie Band was made up of better musicians, what a shame that she died so young, I would have loved to hear her sing " The American Songbook" she did Summertime and it was beautiful, RIP Janice
@@OdiousToad I really enjoyed their music , I don't know what happened to them but I believe there was a lot of personal changes in the band, was Janis Joplin on the bill when you saw them
I love your story/experience!! Janis ❤ I'm thinking likely Kansas - city/state tax wasn't the same in Suffolk County on Long Island. Why you got more for your money. McDonald's in my hometown opened in 1970. Three burgers, one fries, one fountain soda, for 96 cents. I can't remember if the burgers were cheeseburgers. (But I would think they were.) I distinctly remember always getting 4 cents change back. Back in the day. 😊
He was not underrated. He was everywhere TV shows radio live concerts. Just some people thought they were too cool for Tom Jones. A lot of us couldn't admit we liked Tom Jones 😂
@@stillnotwoke Thank you. Kids today say that about stars of the past because they never heard of them without knowing how big those stars were in their day.
Tom is one of the most underrated vocalists in terms of ability to handle any genre and keep up with the best! Few people could have matched the rawness and wild power of Janis, but he does! Incredible!
Yes, I agree, amazing Duo amazing duet. I mean, there's other duets. You know I'm in out there that are like really super cool and stuff. But you know who is louis and gwyneth paltrow comes to mind cruising
@@tappedout300xcmaybe because he was musically talented. He didn't have to screech to reach the top notes like she did. Was never that impressed with her vocals if I'm honest.
Talk about burning down the house !!!. There was enough energy on that stage to shoot a rocket to the moon. Janis was my favorite singer back in my high school days from 1967 to 1971. I just gave away my age. 😅
Tom unquestionably had the moves back then, but Janis inspired him with her own uninhibited gyrations. The camera had to cut away when she started backing in on him. 😉
Tom Jones Doesn't. Make. Sense. He is a towering titan of a vocalist. He is a mirror and brings out the absolute best of the people he performs with. And it is just full of joy.
Tom Jones and Janis Joplin brought out the best of each other when performing together. Amazing energy and chemistry. These two are the real deal. God bless the soul of Janis.
I could cry if I saw that! Two of the best singers in the world on stage together! The energy that is created is unbelievable! Two locomotives racing each other! Well, only Tom Jones is still among us! Janis was like a candle had been lit from both sides! What an incredible talent that lived in her! A singer so pure and without tricks that I will never forget!❤❤❤❤❤
I’m stunned. I have genuinely never really listened to any of Janis Joplin, but holy fuck she was amazing. How have I missed this? I thought I had a diverse music taste, but I have been awoken!
Yeah I feel the same way.. She was definitely amazing. More so than I thought too.Tom jones is a little intimidated for a minute. He knew she had an amazing talent. Tom Jones noticed the talent. That janis joplin had the power to mesmerize the audience, And was definitely at her peak. Her voice was the epitome of Blues and soul. Music ,but at the end he felt honored he was on the same stage as janis,Tom jones did just fine in his own right.
Janis was a hardcore Texas Blues singer from Port Arthur. She had such a unique voice that will never be imitated or duplicated. She also was a member of the "forever 27 club" along with Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Amy Winehouse, Brian Jones (Rolling Stones) and Blind Owl Alan Wilson from Cannet Heat.
Janis is a tornado whirlwind of sound and stand alone as top of greatest white women singer of all time. Sorry to bring colour to this but we talking 40 years ago and she's amazing and not been outshined to this day or days to come 😊❤️ janis you crazy Diamond 🌞
Check out her album "Pearl", released after her death. I still listen to it 50+ years later. "Move Over", "Half Moon" and "Get it While You Can" are my favorites, plus the instrumental "Buried Alive in the Blues"
@@pueblodove I stand corrected, you were right. The videos of Janis on the Dick Cavett Show and the Tom Jones Show were the Kosmic Blues Band. The guitarist Sam Andrews originally with Big Brother & The Holding Company and the bass player Brad Campell played in both bands, Full Tilt and Kosmic Blues Band.
@@georgebuck2269 Ok, I was going by the sound, each band sorta added their own sound. I knew they had a shift in the bands a lot. Was there a 4th band?
When I was a kid I never understood why people thought Janis Joplin was so great....now as an adult, I can really appreciate the talent she was. She was also very attractive. May God Rest her Soul
Yes. I've known her name all my life but only recently saw her interviews and videos on RUclips and I'm blown away. She is such a cutie and her LOVE of music just burst out from her ❤️🔥❤️🔥💖💖
She would have loved your comments,she did not see herself as beautiful,and she radiated beauty.You should look up her interview with Dick Cavett,very revealing,and very sad.
Back in the day, the Tom Jones Show was as cool as anything on TV. He had the top rock musicians of that time, and he was pretty smooth. I always watched it.
Tom Jones has an incredible strong singing voice as it is but it is hard to believe at the power that Janis produces and very clear too. We will not see the likes of her again, ever. Just one of a kind and so well missed.
Tom had to hold his mic several inches away from his mouth in order not to distort his vocal sound and even risk blowing out the mic as he'd been known to do. Janis, like most other singers, holds her mic against her mouth to get the volume...
@@elephantintheroom5678 I'm referring to the operatic-type power and volume jones produces and waaay more powerful than most singers, hence his need to normally sing with the mic away from his mouth. As I already said; he was known to pop microphones in his younger days because of this power.
@@stuartleggat7176 volume matters nothing. What she gives expression to does. I love Tom. But Janis delivers heartbreak in a way that speks for itself. Oh man, Oh man.
What a performance. I keep coming back to this. I love that Janis is totally focused on Tom. The eye contact is wild and they are totally in musical sync during this performance. One of the great duets. Bitter sweet beauty. Tom was on fire here. R.I.P Janis.x
They were both on fire here and really appeared to be enjoying working with each other! Never saw this before and it just blew me away! Individual leave they both were very energetic together they are like an atomic musical bomb!
That was amazing! And those backup dancers, too. I bet everyone was exhausted & sore for days after. Thank you for giving us viewers/listeners your all, y'all.
This is just outstanding...I have watched him now with Cher, and with Wilson Pickett -- he can adapt to whatever style of his guests, and really make them look good. Tom Jones, what a talent!
@@serialhag1647 Janis had chemistry with just about anybody on stage. She drags people up on stage to dance with her ... she just wants everyone having a good time. Tom Jones seems the same way- very engaging with his audience
For too brief a time, she was a true force of nature. I will always remember the shot of Cass Elliot in the audience at Monterey Pop with her mouth open in amazement as Janis performed with Big Brother and the Holding Company. It was something to behold.
Yes. Cass was a force of nature, too, but a totally different Earth Mama vibe. I always loved watching her being caught up in the moment that was Janis.
But you could see that the two of them inspired each other, raising their heat as the song progressed. Like every great duet, together they're greater than the sum of their parts.
True,. Tom the power house and Janis a exploding neutron star. Tom new before he was playing second and respect he knew.. Who the fuck could be in that position. Amazing. Miss you Janis a few more year would have gave magic to the world. 😢😢😢
My aunt Patty used to babysit me when I was four years old and she watched the Tom Jones show and I was supposed to be taking a nap, but I would always watch. I have loved music my whole life.
Tom Jones has an incredible strong singing voice as it is but it is hard to believe at the power that Janis produces and very clear too. We will not see the likes of her again, ever. Just one of a kind and so well missed. 114
Apparently he had the ability to adapt very well to every style of music presented to him; just like Cher who became successful at every genre of music, from ballads, to torch songs to rock and even disco.
@@theresabenko2540 I drove semi’s cross country in the sevenths and wore out five 8track copies of pearl. Pushed it in in morning popped it out at night. Know every song by heart.
@@theresabenko2540 that was a problem that went back to her school years. She felt some anger towards her classmates and wanted to go back and show them her fame and popularity. Which I don’t think ever happened.
They are not playing instruments. She's hopping out of beat at times. "pure" is subject to bias. Many singers use auto tune because they like the sound, not because they need it (except rap and reggaeton and such nonsense music).
I thought the same also a youngin in the 70's, my mother who is 80 now loved both Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdick..lol. Though I always liked them both, they have a new place in my ❤.
Janis is totally raising Tom’s energy level! Sad my generation did not get to have Janis around. Happy we still got Tom! (Please see Cindy Smith’s comment six months ago...Tom Jones explains it himself!!)
Well, you have missed a lot. ruclips.net/video/cpSpOpK1lMY/видео.html&ab_channel=minminbirdminminbird ruclips.net/video/y0r8GVPAvd4/видео.html&ab_channel=minminbirdminminbird
Tom, this is so damned cool! Only sorry it took 52 years for me to see it! You definitely keyed in to Janis, and you both did a hell of a job! Thanks for posting it.
What's interesting is that they clearly never intended to dance. Janis didn't like and wouldn't sing on the set they built for her, so they had to tear it down and improvise. (That's why the camera angles were so bad.) Those people were obviously just sitting there as window dressing at the start. But one by one, they were inspired to get up and boogie. Tom, Janis and that smokin' band were irresistible.
What a performance. I love that Janis is totally focused on Tom. They are totally in sync and tandem during this performance. Bitter sweet beauty. R.I.P Janis.x
That was the best Tom Jones for me. Janis is a musician's musician. She be the nitrous mix for the fuel in that fire. All live and all real. All in one take.
Oh gawd you should check out a concert of her on RUclips where she's pulling dozens of people u'll on stage with her and everyone is dancing around her!?!?!? It's LITERALLY "a happening!!" Like holy shit to "get down" with joplin on stage....????? Omg blow my MIND!! Lol
Sir Tom and Janis Joplin, now that’s a dynamic duo! Still watching and enjoying June 2021 two of my favorite entertainers in the world! Rest and Rock in Peace Lady Janis, your legacy will live on forever! Sir Tom you are blessed with a God given gift of a voice that is as strong and powerful now as it was here back in the day! You’ve given so much of yourself to your millions of fans throughout the decades! God bless you and keep you! Thank you both for sharing your wonderful talent!
It's actually kinda sweet at the end when he pulls her in for that hug, and then kisses her head...the vibe was totally one of "I appreciate you", as if he understood her deep-down insecurity and just wanted to show her that love for who she was...that's what I picked up from it anyway, and it made me go "awwww" 🥺❤❤❤
What Janis Joplin did, no female singer did before, and none since have done it better. But Tom Jones sang with the best in every genre, and matched them, as he did here.
They were really good friends, but the epitome of cool would have seen Tom and Elvis do something together in 68’ Colonel wouldn’t let Elvis share the stage with anyone.
I had the privilege of watching Tom Jones perform from the wings and he had the most powerful voice imaginable. After the show he talked to us about Elvis , Janis, Jimmy Page and John Lennon, and he was just an all around cool guy
I was paying so much attention to Tom and Janice. I didn’t even notice they were dancers in the background… and I love how organic Janis Joplin is no implants, no lip, fillers, just simple and organic, and in all that lies the beauty
@@jacquelinedavis6607 They weren't even there to dance, they were just supposed to be set dressing. But they couldn't resist that smoking band and two legendary vocalists.
@@danieldickson8591 Who could resist? Not me. Every time I hear music with a happy beat, my feet start tapping. Then comes the humming and my body starts movin' and groovin' . There was a lady in a clothing store that chided me for my little dance! She's just lucky that I hummed and didn't sing like I did in my car or cleaning the house.
@@davidpadilla8092 I would almost agree except for the fact that she did not have many days left after that. That's why it was so nice to see her having that much fun because I think the heartbreaks overpowered the joys.

Here I am a year later watching this again. I loved watching the Tom Jones Show on TV, sitting on the living room floor - totally enchanted. Then my parents saw his dancing, and forbade me from watching it anymore. So, as I'm watching this, I'm laughing because Janis is 'backing it up' and the camera quickly pans away!!

Growing old is a privilege and a challenge. I grew old too (now 65), but my best friend is a little Hawaiian lady who is 87. She has great positive Energy which inspires me. Your energy and outlook inspires me, too! I almost got to see you perform in San Jose, but it was cancelled, and I was so heartbroken. Hopefully, I WILL get to see/hear you perform before one of us passes away. 😊 I luv every song you've ever sung, but most of all, 'What's New, Pussycat", which I scream-sing in my truck while I drive the lonely highway to town in Texas, where I live. Keep growing old, Mr. Tom Jones! This world needs You! 💗💗💗
Hey Tom, janis had that same type of soul in her singing like you. You both sounded great together complimenting each other vocally.👌
The windmills of your minds
Truerer words could have not been spoken!!! 💙🎶✌

This is why I can’t stop using RUclips. Tom Jones and Janis Joplin in 1969? How can you not watch it?
It is great. Was immediately sucked in.
That's RIGHT!!
Exactly
I know!
Wow…1969!!!
When your artistic talent is light years above what is humanly possible, you don't stay here too long. RIP Janis Joplin.

I've loved Tom Jones for 55 years, but man oh man, LISTEN TO JANIS!
Tome Jones is amazing, but I don't even he knew what to do with Janis Joplin.
Two years later she was dead. Check out the June 1971 Dick Cavett show with Janis Joplin and Raquel Welch!
Great singer but overrated...
Blue-eyed soul!
@@stevolopez True but a lot of white musicians ripped-off black music!
Tom Jones hit an F5 in this performance. That is the highest note I have ever heard him sing. Janis Joplin got him moving and working it in this duet.
He pensado lo mismo.
Jo, T.J. a la altura de voz con J.J.
Guau!!
Anyone singing with Janis Joplin would have to have stepped up their game !!! 😊
You've obviously never seen Tom "dancing like hell". He certainly didn't need anyone else to get him moving...

The girl is real and raw - powderful.
yup, he admitted that in interviews :)
right at the beginning, you can see him have his 'breath taken away'
Géniale janis
He’s trying, but he just can’t match her.
Anybody who could do that well with Tom Jones, and was still only age 26? Absolutely amazing. Her pants were a beautiful color here. ( i notice colors) Wow, imagine what more she could have done. People still really miss her

She would have loved your comments,she did not see herself as beautiful,and she radiated beauty.You should look up her interview with Dick Cavett,very revealing,and very sad.
These 3 minutes and a half contain way more musical talent than the entire past two decades worlwide.
Either one of them singing for 10 seconds live here is better than 98% of modern day singer's entire careers
Damn true
The truth is 90% of the music talent in that 3 min is influenced by R&B and black culture. Diversity is great 👍
And they were 20-somethings!!
@@SiDung-qg7rn 💯
Back in the day, the Tom Jones Show was as cool as anything on TV. He had the top rock musicians of that time, and he was pretty smooth. I always watched it.
Wow such energy. I never knew that Tom and Janis sang together. This was great ❤️
Tom was just trying to keep up with Janis.
Tom was like ... wtf , did I get into ... good match up ... but well beyond Tom ....... Janis was gentle ......
Terrific video, words can’t express it❤✨✨✨✨✨✨👏👏👏 3:27
The musicians in this performance unbelievably good. That was perfect music.
It was Janis Joplins band called
This was the Kosmic Blue Band, not Full Tilt Boogie.
this is simply how it should be done... both are completely singing in the moment and going for it...immense!
Where the backup dancers enhance their talent, not substitute for it!
I agree, they are getting down 😎!!!
Tom Jones has an incredible strong singing voice as it is but it is hard to believe at the power that Janis produces and very clear too. We will not see the likes of her again, ever. Just one of a kind and so well missed.
Tom Jones is/was a big fan of Chuck Jackson, listening to him.
Look up Vella. She channels a Joplin style!
Tom had to hold his mic several inches away from his mouth in order not to distort his vocal sound and even risk blowing out the mic as he'd been known to do. Janis, like most other singers, holds her mic against her mouth to get the volume...
@@elephantintheroom5678
I'm referring to the operatic-type power and volume jones produces and waaay more powerful than most singers, hence his need to normally sing with the mic away from his mouth. As I already said; he was known to pop microphones in his younger days because of this power.
@@stuartleggat7176 volume matters nothing. What she gives expression to does. I love Tom. But Janis delivers heartbreak in a way that speks for itself. Oh man, Oh man.
Two singers having fun with each other. Pure joy!
What a performance. I keep coming back to this. I love that Janis is totally focused on Tom. The eye contact is wild and they are totally in musical sync during this performance. One of the great duets. Bitter sweet beauty. Tom was on fire here. R.I.P Janis.x
Дженис поистине гениальная !!!!
Janis brought out the best in Tom. That's what healthy and real competition......and love can do.
They were both on fire here and really appeared to be enjoying working with each other! Never saw this before and it just blew me away! Individual leave they both were very energetic together they are like an atomic musical bomb!
👍👍🔥❤️
Her energy was contagious then and still is today ❤Rip LEGEND
This is WOW- I never knew Tom sang with Janis. Flipping amazing they both have so much soul. It seems Tom could sing with anybody
I would never have believed this pairing if I didnt see it myself, mind boggling..Tom and Janis so amazing.❤
I still cant believe these two ever sang together.
@@howardweinstein1324 mind boggling....lol
This is awesome not many people can stand their ground with Janice but then again not many can stand their ground with Tom.. This is pure magic
What a nice performance I love this song. How are you Linda ?
That was about a million times better than i expected !
@Fun Fact Reeeeeally?? They both sounded great to me. Live and in living color. Get a life...
@Fun Fact 00
Janis is amazing! Tom Jones has a great voice back in those days!
@Fun Fact jhju I just I u I u ioiioiiiijii I(?kk(mkkkk
Yea it was pretty outta control 10/10 or Janis would say "Very Heavy"
They're like twin souls. Their moves, their voices, their sexiness - WOW!
That was amazing!
And those backup dancers, too. I bet everyone was exhausted & sore for days after.
Thank you for giving us viewers/listeners your all, y'all.
This is just outstanding...I have watched him now with Cher, and with Wilson Pickett -- he can adapt to whatever style of his guests, and really make them look good. Tom Jones, what a talent!
You should check out Tom Jones & Tina Turner-Medley-Warner Theater 1978. They complement each other-body and soul.
@@denisepaul7274 Wonderful suggestion Denise, ty :)
The Cher performance had little chemistry between the 2 of them. Janis tho...
Check him out with Joe Cocker
@@serialhag1647 Janis had chemistry with just about anybody on stage. She drags people up on stage to dance with her ... she just wants everyone having a good time.
Tom Jones seems the same way- very engaging with his audience
For too brief a time, she was a true force of nature. I will always remember the shot of Cass Elliot in the audience at Monterey Pop with her mouth open in amazement as Janis performed with Big Brother and the Holding Company. It was something to behold.
Yes. Cass was a force of nature, too, but a totally different Earth Mama vibe. I always loved watching her being caught up in the moment that was Janis.
Super Stars burn bright but short.
Sadly Janis like others was a Super Star but never forgotten and the Music lives on forever 👍🙏
So awesome. Love how Mr. Jones rose to Janis' challenge the whole way through. What a fun supercharged performance
Her challenge was her everyday singing voice.
But you could see that the two of them inspired each other, raising their heat as the song progressed. Like every great duet, together they're greater than the sum of their parts.
@@danieldickson8591 I loved how they were amused at each other and challenging each other.
True,. Tom the power house and Janis a exploding neutron star. Tom new before he was playing second and respect he knew.. Who the fuck could be in that position.
Amazing. Miss you Janis a few more year would have gave magic to the world.
😢😢😢
Reminded me of the interview Dick Cavett did with her. Can see in that and here both of them unexpectedly falling into the fun love vibration with her
I watched this on tv 1969, Tom Jones show while feeding my new baby, he just turned 55yr ❤
My aunt Patty used to babysit me when I was four years old and she watched the Tom Jones show and I was supposed to be taking a nap, but I would always watch. I have loved music my whole life.
That's one cool mom and lucky baby!😮
Tom Jones is still rocking it at nearly 80!
80 now and he still has that voice.
@@ellez2115 That's called good maintenance and healthy technique.
Tom Jones has an incredible strong singing voice as it is but it is hard to believe at the power that Janis produces and very clear too. We will not see the likes of her again, ever. Just one of a kind and so well missed.

I might add...Whitney was a super powerhouse. I still get sad to think she's gone with that wonderful gift of her voice.
@@whopiddledonyourposttoasti175 Who's Whitney?
@@suchabadkitty1293 Whitney Houston
Lady Gaga can do this. Look up her Led Zeppelin covers.
Amy Winehouse would have given Janis a run for her money.
It's the coolest watching Sir Thomas Jones singing with some of the greats like Janis and Tina!! He can do it easily with his soulful voice!!
My heart is pounding
How funky and fabulous
Background dancers are insane
What a find 😂
Good grief, I'm surprised this clip didn't self-destruct - it's FIRE!!!!!!
😂😂😂💥🔥
YES!! Self destruct overdue!!!🤪
Right!
Hahaha true 🤣
One of the greatest clips ever! This beautiful duet of two equal voices - YES!
How the heck did a guy like Tom come out of a tiny place like Wales and conquer every style of music? He can sing anything brilliantly!
Apparently he had the ability to adapt very well to every style of music presented to him; just like Cher who became successful at every genre of music, from ballads, to torch songs to rock and even disco.
Because Welsh people have great Voices that's why
I always say he’s my favorite Welshman
Lucky genetics. A freak of perfecting tje hip patterns.
@@donjohn2695 So you've heard the singing voices of all "Welsh people"? 🙄
No, that's NOT why. Tom Jones is ONE WELSH PERSON. Try valid comments.
You can tell that they were digging each other's natural talent. I love this so much!
It was The Love Generation, you dig
Tom got the voice, the look, the swag, and the move. That's the full PREMIUM package, right there. 👌👌
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Tom jones was powerhouse but janis was a defenition of power itself ... superb duo
Couldn't have said it better myself.
@@DJANTONIVS Back in the '70's I almost wore out the Pearl 8 track. She sure put her heart and soul into her music. 🎶 🎤.
@@theresabenko2540 I drove semi’s cross country in the sevenths and wore out five 8track copies of pearl. Pushed it in in morning popped it out at night. Know every song by heart.
@@wayneshowalter1 Janice was on Dick Cavett (rerun). Sadly she was a lonely lady who didn't really know how much she was loved and admired.
@@theresabenko2540 that was a problem that went back to her school years. She felt some anger towards her classmates and wanted to go back and show them her fame and popularity. Which I don’t think ever happened.
This is real music. No autotune and pure talent.
Greetings from Rio de Janeiro Brazil
They are auto tuning themselves. No computer processing required.
They are not playing instruments. She's hopping out of beat at times. "pure" is subject to bias. Many singers use auto tune because they like the sound, not because they need it (except rap and reggaeton and such nonsense music).
They are simulating black soul singers so in that regard there is a degree of inauthenticity.
Janis was a soul singer. @@liborsionko
Two incomprable voices of my generation. Great real music and performance unmatched
My Granny would loved to have seen this. She LOVED Tom Jones. I love Janis.
That kicked ass! Growing up in the 70s I thought of Tom Jones as "old people music", but recently come to see how awesome he is. What an epic combo!
That's because we're becoming the 'old people' now ;)
I thought the same also a youngin in the 70's, my mother who is 80 now loved both Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdick..lol. Though I always liked them both, they have a new place in my ❤.
Even in recent years, check out his "Praise and blame" album.
It's all there.
But this duet?
Makes my day every time I watch it.
Same
Pensabas en música de gente mayor, porque estabas a años luz de. entender a la gente mayor, es decir eras un mocoso impertinente.
Janis is totally raising Tom’s energy level! Sad my generation did not get to have Janis around. Happy we still got Tom!
(Please see Cindy Smith’s comment six months ago...Tom Jones explains it himself!!)
You missed out!
They were pretty much on the same level to begin with. Watch Tom Jones performance of Treat her right to see what I mean
you have terence d arby and amy 2
Wow she was amazing🤩
That is a misperception on your part. Tom Jones was ALWAYS high energy!
Janis’s voice and spirit of song were quite unique. The sheer electricity in her singing was, well, shocking!
I have never seen tom jones rock so hard in his life- Janis really brings out the best in her singing partners
Well, you have missed a lot.

He was getting out of breath lol she wore him out :))
She got him high first
she was in the way only
Tom, this is so damned cool! Only sorry it took 52 years for me to see it! You definitely keyed in to Janis, and you both did a hell of a job! Thanks for posting it.
What privilege, what quality, two great musicians, my respect and great admiration.
👏👏👏👏
Maybe, two great singer...is better
Dig the groovy moves of the background dancers! They really know how to cut a rug. Get down get funky!😂
What's interesting is that they clearly never intended to dance. Janis didn't like and wouldn't sing on the set they built for her, so they had to tear it down and improvise. (That's why the camera angles were so bad.) Those people were obviously just sitting there as window dressing at the start. But one by one, they were inspired to get up and boogie. Tom, Janis and that smokin' band were irresistible.
Tom Jones has certainly dueted with some legends.
a couple hundreds
Same can be said for them 😌
One of the best was Cass Elliot which can be seen on You Tube also!
You should check out his duet on his show with Wilson Pickett...
I love that Janis was absolutely going for it... What I love more is that Tom made going for it look soooo easy. Both unbelievable talents.
I would take these two anyway l could get them!
GOD REST THEIR SOULS💖DONNA BARNETT
Tom is still alive haha
tom had a pent up whole life of living in wales ready to burst out 😂
Tom Jones lays back to give Janis her moment, then matches her scream for scream. Two of the all-time greats, raising the roof.
yep. Very clear that he is a full pro. And seems relaxed in what he is doing
Tom never showed any sign of trying to upstage his guest singers. It always looked like he just loved performing with everyone great.
Holy shit! It turned into a house party that we all wish was happening this weekend.
Pure chemistry and talent. Will never see the likes of this ever again. God bless you Janis. R.I.P.🙏❤️🎼.x
They feed each other's energy, love it. Janis was a bomb exploding on stage. x'D
What a performance. I love that Janis is totally focused on Tom. They are totally in sync and tandem during this performance. Bitter sweet beauty. R.I.P Janis.x
That was the best Tom Jones for me. Janis is a musician's musician. She be the nitrous mix for the fuel in that fire. All live and all real. All in one take.
Janis looks as though she is having so much fun, and I've never seen her dance better. Nice upload.
every time i watch this i end up with a big ass smile on my face because this is just so pure
Me too! I was in this big wide grin like I just saw something wonderful - and I did!
Powerfully Pure!
Yep...there will never be another Janis....or TJ.
Oh gawd you should check out a concert of her on RUclips where she's pulling dozens of people u'll on stage with her and everyone is dancing around her!?!?!? It's LITERALLY "a happening!!" Like holy shit to "get down" with joplin on stage....????? Omg blow my MIND!! Lol
@@shaneboelter2220 omg that sounds amazing, i will! Imagine being that lucky to dance on stage with janis
Tom levelled up for this one. Amazing energy from both performers!
What a duet... they both compliment each others voice with some belting soul funk business
If you love this...
RAISE YOUR HAND!

Sir Tom and Janis Joplin, now that’s a dynamic duo! Still watching and enjoying June 2021 two of my favorite entertainers in the world! Rest and Rock in Peace Lady Janis, your legacy will live on forever! Sir Tom you are blessed with a God given gift of a voice that is as strong and powerful now as it was here back in the day! You’ve given so much of yourself to your millions of fans throughout the decades! God bless you and keep you! Thank you both for sharing your wonderful talent!
Hello Cathy, how are you doing?
I did not know this shot at all, And never expected Janis to be with Tom. But, It is so amazing and Tom was so great.
It's actually kinda sweet at the end when he pulls her in for that hug, and then kisses her head...the vibe was totally one of "I appreciate you", as if he understood her deep-down insecurity and just wanted to show her that love for who she was...that's what I picked up from it anyway, and it made me go "awwww" 🥺❤❤❤
Definitely. It was an awkward tender moment....he treated her with kid gloves.
This guy amazes me. He can sing with anyone. He just loves to sing, don't he!!!!
Obviously trying to match her. Which is pretty impossible.
Umm what are trying to say?
@@Nr1from1978 he is much better than her
What Janis Joplin did, no female singer did before, and none since have done it better. But Tom Jones sang with the best in every genre, and matched them, as he did here.
Tom was like a dog off a leash.
You may be cool, but you'll never be as cool as Tom Jones dueting with Janis Joplin.
Dig it!
Solid.
They were really good friends, but the epitome of cool would have seen Tom and Elvis do something together in 68’
Colonel wouldn’t let Elvis share the stage with anyone.
It's very raw and sexy. Grrrrr
They have different style of music but this was fantastic
I wish there was more available of this is Tom Jones show on DVD 📀 it was a wonderful variety show🎉
I had the privilege of watching Tom Jones perform from the wings and he had the most powerful voice imaginable. After the show he talked to us about Elvis , Janis, Jimmy Page and John Lennon, and he was just an all around cool guy
Loved the fluorescent pants and the dance moves!
Tsetsi everything beautiful!
OK STOP and appreciate the dancers killing it in the background! 1:30
@@jonothandoeser jaja lol. Yes!!! Siii!!!! I wanna leave an audio message on you tube.
Janis dejaste un gran vacío al llevarte ese torrente de talento, te esperaban muchos triunfos💐💐😔
Hello Tsetsi how are you doing
So grateful that Sir Tom Jones is still with us.
I was paying so much attention to Tom and Janice. I didn’t even notice they were dancers in the background… and I love how organic Janis Joplin is no implants, no lip, fillers, just simple and organic, and in all that lies the beauty
This just blows away anything in the past 30 years at least. True artists, true beauty. ❤
Her voice is so raw and....yes.... organic......I can't imagine she ever had formal voice training, which inevitably changes that natural quality
I had to look. By golly there are very enthusiastic dancers!
@@jacquelinedavis6607 They weren't even there to dance, they were just supposed to be set dressing. But they couldn't resist that smoking band and two legendary vocalists.
@@danieldickson8591 Who could resist? Not me. Every time I hear music with a happy beat, my feet start tapping. Then comes the humming and my body starts movin' and groovin' .
There was a lady in a clothing store that chided me for my little dance! She's just lucky that I hummed and didn't sing like I did in my car or cleaning the house.
She had fun here. She had fun. God bless her. Tom was no slouch, either, and he really got into it too! Weird combinqtion but fantastic result!
some would say she had TOO MUCH fun
@@davidpadilla8092 I would almost agree except for the fact that she did not have many days left after that. That's why it was so nice to see her having that much fun because I think the heartbreaks overpowered the joys.
...later he got into her !...
This is why I love YT . Who knew that this gem existed?!!!
That was beautiful. Strong man and strong woman. Absolutely lovely. Thank you.

Here I am a year later watching this again. I loved watching the Tom Jones Show on TV, sitting on the living room floor - totally enchanted. Then my parents saw his dancing, and forbade me from watching it anymore. So, as I'm watching this, I'm laughing because Janis is 'backing it up' and the camera quickly pans away!!
