Women were known to throw their underwear to him on stage. Fabulous then and fabulous now. He is one singer that has retained his voice into his 80's. And that alone is unbelieveable. Sir Tom still has it!
@@primemover1416 ,, Ya, I was going to say. I don't recall for sure which one it was, but I think it was Tom who was discovered while working the Docks. Kind of a Longshoreman Dock worker.
@@michaelasay8587 He may be better to some people's ears at one or two songs. That he's really well known for. But overall Tom has more variety in the locker, can do more styles, and is better overall in my view.
I'm 62 years old, and I remember my mother being completely in love with Tom Jones back in the '60s. He had a television variety show for a while, which was must-watch TV in our house! And now, 60 years later, he's still having that effect on young women. Most of us guys wish they could figure out how to bottle whatever it is that Tom Jones has, so we could just splash a bit on each morning.
I will be 64 by the end of the week and I used to watch his tv show. He always had hot girls on. There is also a youtube vid of him on Hefner's variety show and he does a song.
@@Joskemom hott girls....u funny....hey did you like Engelbert Humperdinck? I actually liked him better. My mother and grandmother was always going to see him. Well Tom Jones also. I wanted to go, lol. But I went to see Karen Carpenter as a kid....so that was better, lol.
@@michaelasay8587 Was not into Englebert, but "We've Only Just Begun" was one of my favorites songs back then. A class mate in high school said ' My mother has the hots for Tom Jones'.
Omg, I was in love with him when he first came out. I am 71 yrs old and this song gives me chills. I am happy to see how all of the younger generation, love all the music I grew up with.
Tom is a legend when you hear him you just know its him . Elvis was a big fan of Tom They were great friends . Thank you Britt for reacting to this particular version . It shows just how powerful and talented he is . Hr had his own TV show back then in the states and he would invite all the top singers like Stevie wonder Wilson Pickett Janis Joplin Cher. If you want to know who broke his heart , The song DELILAH on the ED SULLIVAN show will tell you .
Trust me Britt, His "panty-dropping" legend has been "cemented" for more than 55 (+) years!!! Sir Tom Jones is Welsh, he was "Knighted" by the Queen of England and he is a "Living Legend" till this day in 2023!!! He was close friends with Elvis, Stevie Wonder, Cher, etc...and he has always sung with a "Soulful" style!!! He is now in his early 80's, he's a Judge on the TV Show "The Voice UK" and the man at his age can still belt out those notes like it's nobody else's business!!! Thanks for reacting to this one...now you know why it was requested that you check out this performance too!!! Well done my friend...
There is a video of him from The Voice in England performing this with the son of its original writer. In his 80’s the man still has it. Sir Tom is a master and indeed he has been dropping panties for over half a century. He’s one of s kind.
Exactly that but not have some have,wrongly, said, written for him as this was written in 1961 and Tom was still Tom Woodward in The Tommy Scott Band then in Welsh Clubs.
What's cool about that is Tom was the only one to turn his chair for the kid. When he heard his name , he half heartedly asked him if he was related to Lonnie Donnegon. When the kid said yes, Tom got a huge surprised smile on his face. It was pretty awesome
To be born Welsh is to be born priviledged, not with a silver spoon in your mouth, but music in your blood, and poetry in your soul 🏴 🏴 🏴
As a Scotsman, hearing the Welsh national anthem when sung by the Welsh people in a packed stadium, it gets me. Just seems you all have that singing gene down there 😎
@@elizabethfranco1284 very true, the original artist was Lonnie Donnegan (an old friend of Toms) and it was the son - Peter Donnegan who was on the Voice UK. It was also fun listening to the banter between Peter and Tom. Even if Britt chooses not to react to it, she could give it a listen
Just saw your post…I mentioned the same thing. Hope she listens to it! The “Best of Sir Tom Jones” on The Voice is pretty amazing too. I’m going to see him again in Sarasota in May! 🤗
Tom Jones and that lovely Welsh voice of his. He came from a great musical heritage, and really poured his heart into it. Great reaction! Tom was great for the love songs. :)
He has one of the best voices of our time... I loved him then and I still love him now. There will never be another Tom Jones. He was HOT before hot was fashionable. Keep singing Tom you will always be the best singer on the planet.
Glad you followed it up with this reaction. Tom Jones in his prime was awesome. You need some Righteous Brothers: You've Lost that Lovin' Feeling in your life now ...just saying.
Ive been listening to Tom Jones for 50 years. He was one of my major influences in my development as a singer. He has a deep almost raspy voice, a welsh accent, and he likes to put a vibrato on almost every syllable
Ooooooweeeee! This! The song by Tom that sends me into a whole other dimension. Oh my goodness. I'm in my 60s now and remember him singing this on the TV in the 1960s. I was just a small child but, wow! It still gives me chills every time I hear this version. Just an incredible voice! Whew... Mmm, mmm, mmm... Just doesn't get any better than this, imho.
So glad you reacted to this version of the song. In this video you can really hear just how powerful of voice he had. He's also a judge on the Voice England. One year the son of the man that wrote this song was on the show. Since the man had the same last name Tom asked him if he know Lonnie Donegan and found out it was his son. They ended up singing this song together on the show.
now you need to hear him singing it, with the son of the man who wrote it, on the programme, 'the Voice'. he's in his 8os and still has the voice and all the class he ever had. when you got what he's got, you don't lose it.
Tom rivals Elvis with the pure masculine power of his voice while also being adept at subtlety when needed. Both were the old school Panty Dropper Kings! Other great live Tom Jones songs sung live in 60's and 70's that you'd love....Deliah, I Who Have Nothing, Without Love among many others. The studio version of the later hit Sex Bomb is also great.
I watched this performance on the Dusty Springfield Show on TV when I was a kid. So if you liked this version in 1967 and also the version in 2007 then you will love the duet he sang with Peter Donegan in 2021 on UK TV. 83 years of age and still got it. What a man and what a voice...
Can i just say ive always loved Tom Jones and might i add you are a very stunning lady perfect to watch while this great music is playing. Im not a weirdo just appreciate beauty when i see it
At his peak, this guy was a king of the panty dropping club. During concerts, female fans would throw underwear and hotel keys on stage. He was also very close pals with Elvis. Imagine the reaction when both were just hanging out together. And yes, this was a live performance. Most audiences were respectful back then, they kept quiet until the end.
Singing live., no autotune just the magic , brilliance and power of a voice like Sir Tom Jones. He is one of the very few artists whose voice hasnt lost its magnetism and strength as he has aged. Still knocking it out the park in his 80s and showing the younger generation how it should be done as a judge on The Voice UK
Tom Jones, the man, the legend... he's still going in his 80's. He's a judge on the talent show 'the voice' and amazingly still sings on nearly every episode. He's brilliant 👏
A lot of years later, he became a coach on the The Voice UK. Jennifer Hudson was one for a while as well. If you have the urge to watch two of the greatest voices ever singing together, you should look up the clips of their apparently impromptu vocal jousts. Tom was a little past his best by then but I would have loved to hear those two sing together while both in their prime. It was pretty incredible anyway and you could see the mutual respect. One of the songs was “It’s a Mans World” and I can’t quite remember the other. Someone will let you know though.
He also did an awesome duet with Rhiannon Giddens at the (I think) 2015 Jools Holland New Year's Hootenanny... 'St. James Infirmary' - he sounds great with anyone.
The guy who wrote this song for Sir Tom Jones he ran into his son on the voice and they both sang it on the show!!!!!!!!! His voice is still gold to this day!!!!!!!!!!
You're so great, Britt. I'm thrilled that you went back to grab the 1967 version. It seems to be the one far more commonly viewed, and it really shows off his raw talent brilliantly. It's funny that you would induct him into the "panty dropping" club, because at his live performances, women in the audience were constantly literally throwing pairs of panties up onto the stage. It became his trademark! 🤣
Tom Jones still has it l He's a judge on The Voice UK white hair and all. His voice is still the same Beautiful baritone and very active. one of my favorite songs, "Green, Green Grass of Home "
And now you know why so many of us reacted to your react (which was awesome). He has so many tremolo changes to go with that amazing voice. You mention studio audience performances. Oh yeah there are some from back in the day where he has very intimate reactions WITH the crowd. Again, as we say here in Texas; Y'all be safe. (Y'all can refer to one or many) 🙃🙃🙃🙃
Tom was Born: June 7, 1940 - Married: Melinda Trenchard (m. 1957-2016) She Died: April 10, 2016... He'll be 83 this year (2023).... and he can still sing...
I remember seeing him perform this on Dusty's show in 1967, it was a live studio broadcast audience and Orchestra at the BBC. In those days you could queue up and get a free ticket, or write to the BBC for tickets at the various BBC studios for different programs. l was working just around the corner at the time. And to be honest l went to see Dusty sing, l had no idea Tom was going to be there. There was no screaming because we were asked not to call out during all the performances and applause at the end or when someone held up a card or the 'applause' light came on ,asking you too ......🙂 Dusty was a great singer also. I watched many great performer for free like this. l saw Queen and many others on 'Top of the Pops' at BBC when they were just trying make their name in the world. It was no big deal at the time, now looking back, l was super lucky .....
Just 27 years old in this video with THAT voice. Elvis loved it and sought him out to meet when Tom was performing in Las Vegas and they became good friends. Can you imagine those two walking into anywhere together? Panties would be thrown at them for DAYS!
Elvis always my favorite. Didn't know until later that he and Elvis were friends so I got my sister and her husband tickets for Tom, but I didn't go. I did get to see Elvis with my Mommy in concert. Thrill of my life
I know you’ve reacted to it twice already, but the son of the man who wrote this song appeared on the voice and sang a duet of this song with him! It’s very good.
I was going to suggest that song for you to listen - I'm glad you did! I've heard Tom Jones recordings before and he had some hits in the 60's 70's and sounded great but someday I found this video and it made me play attention, WHAT A VOICE!! and you appreciate good music and vocals. The whole gamut of power, finesse, vocal range . . . . . . what a talent!!
This actually WAS on a show....live. I know you said you liked the version sung in Chile, but I am thinking you are liking this younger, more powerful version a pinch more. And to think, one take, no remake, no remix, no auto-tune. He and Elvis were really close. Although Elvis started before him, Tom seems to have picked up some of the mannerisms and body language from Elvis. Here is another video from Tom's t.v. show. It shows a little bit different side of him and will give you more of the point for him to be in the PDC. ruclips.net/video/KkKTMoRs-TU/видео.html
TOM JONES has an mazing voice still he sure can hit some big notes. he did a song for a James bond film called thunderball that has a big note at the end and when sinning it in the recording studio he actually pasted out hitting it lool crazy
WooHoo 🙌 full body goosebumps 😁 I was 10 years old in 1967 and my mum thought he was amazing, me too but think I’m appreciating him more now 😂 I think ladies were throwing their panties on the stage for him. I’ve seen him on The Voice singing and he’s still got it 😁
Lovely, Britt! There's another performance of this...Tom on The Voice UK, around the age of 80, picking out the son of the man who composed this song (Lonnie Donegan) and inviting him to join Tom in singing the song together. Try not to cry when you watch Lonnie's wife, who was at the recording, react to the duo!
It was fun watching your whole body react to Tom Jones and especially this song. Now you can see why women were so attracted to him. With this number women were thinking, "Tom, I'll help you." I saw him 5 straight years in Vegas in the early '70s. He put on such a great show. His patter with the audience was always prime. This is where he was able to bring the men into his performance. Many times I remember a man saying, "I'm only here because my wife wants to see him" when they were coming into the show. Then, when leaving I'd here, "We're coming back next year to see Tom." They were on a first name basis now. He was able to make men feel comfortable with him.
Britt, your channel just fell like a gift in my lap last week and I gotta say, I love you a little more every time I watch. ThanQ for putting these out!
Tom Jones is in his 80's and can still belt this song out as smooth as glass. Look up on RUclips "Sir Tom Jones & Peter Donegan's 'I'll Never Fall In Love Again' ¦Blind Auditions¦ The Voice UK 2019"
Great Reaction To Tom. Here Is Another To Add To The PDC. Engelbert Humperdinck!! "A Man Without Love" Is One Of His Greatest Hits. He Is Known As The King Of Romance. And Has A Large Catalog Of Hits.
BRAVO!!! THIS is the Tom Jones which we knew. To get somewhat of a prequel to the story he started here: "What's New Pussycat?" - not really, but it does address the early days of a relationship. Also, it is the ONLY song in Rock history which ends with the word "nose". (Gotcha wondering now, don't I?) Of course the follow up (relationship wise) to this song is his "Deliliah" - make sure to listen to the early version. And the follow up to that song (again, if we are going to journey through relationships) is his "Green Green Grass of Home". These will take you comfortably into the amazing Tom Jones' rabbit hole of singing. Beyond having an amazing voice, once you know his story - especially given the fact that while he was a HEARTTHROB to women as many have written below (and I mean a heartthrob! The stories of women throwing their panties at him on stage is VERY REAL) - and how despite all of that he remained resolutely loyal to his wife for her entire life places him on the "A Man I Want To Emulate" list. Edit Postscript: The evidence that he still has it in his 70s and 80s is his duet "Sexbomb" (which is in English) with German superstar Helene Fischer [ruclips.net/video/-MZrgXR75Tk/видео.html]! When I get to be that old, I want to be that cool! (Wait ... I am that old! 💩 Do you think there is any hope of becoming Tom Jones Cool if I am starting from this Snake Oil Willie starting block [ruclips.net/video/OOgd9hitEAE/видео.html]?)🤣
You did it!! I'm going to watch this several times I'm sure. BTW he is the original President of the PDC. On his TV show they had to adjust the footage because of the women throwing their panties on stage when he sung.
Sir Thomas Jones Woodward, OBE, was born on June 7, 1940, in Treforest, Wales to Freda Jones (1914-2003) and coal miner Thomas Woodward (1910-1981). Sir Thomas is a Welsh singer and actor.
Peter Donegan, son of music legend Lonnie Donegan, entered The Voice Stage with one wish; to get Sir Tom Jones to turn his chair! Peter’s father toured with Sir Tom back in the day and even wrote "I'LL NEVER FALL IN LOVE AGAIN" for him. Once Sir Tom Jones realized who Peter was, one of the most magical moments on The Voice happened! Jun 7, 2021
Love your reactions so much. So observant and playful at the same time. Your awareness of what makes music artists great v s. The mostly OK to good ones of today is refreshing. Cudis to you and your meteoric rise in subscriptions. I have to laugh though in general as to the general lack of awareness of the great music that emanated out of 50' s and 60' s and into the 70's. It would be awesome for the young to listen to some of the beautiful songs ever Keep up the great attitude as well as your musical aptitude. Warm regards, Gary from Oakville Ontario Canada.
He met the son of the composer of this song when he auditioned for The Voice UK. Sir Tom oblige when the contestant requested to sing it live on the spot and it was a real treat.
Sir Tom Jones still sings this song and tours both sides of the pond, he'll be 83 in June, and sounds the same, he's also a coach on the UK The Voice, he has a Welsh counterpart and long time friend Dame Shirley Bassey who's now 86 and still sings live as well, again sounding much the same as she did in the 1960's the two have recorded four Bond Songs between them and at a guess around 400 million records and sold out concerts since the early 60's and can still fill theatres and stadiums
Tom and Elvis were good friends, they attended each others performances, hung out together, and went on vacations together.....2 greats!!!!! They could both draw you in, and make you drop to your knees...lol....enjoy!!!!

Not sure if was exactly the same time period as Tom, but one other panty dropping artist then was Engelbert Humperdinck.

Same here. Lord Willing, I'll be 71 in December. Take care ❤
he was a heart throb, made love to many of his admirers, when he got finished making love they were sore for a week! dont know if you can handle him.
I’m glad you watched this version. I think everyone in the world should experience this performance.
Music is music!
I agree , never get tired of hearing Tom sing this tune.
💯
Tom is a legend when you hear him you just know its him . Elvis was a big fan of Tom They were great friends . Thank you Britt for reacting to this particular version .

If you want to know who broke his heart , The song DELILAH on the ED SULLIVAN show will tell you .
Trust me Britt, His "panty-dropping" legend has been "cemented" for more than 55 (+) years!!!

Tom Jones has such a rich powerful soulful voice thats totally unique to him. Even in his 80s he can still belt out a tune.
I've been blessed to see Sir Tom Jones in concert twice - still the best voice I've ever heard "live" in concert.
Rumor has it that his voice was so powerful it blew out the diaphragm of many microphones back in the day.
Glad you followed it up with this reaction. Tom Jones in his prime was awesome. You need some Righteous Brothers: You've Lost that Lovin' Feeling in your life now ...just saying.

Fun Fact: In that Chile performance he was battling a cold, AND still sounded that good. G.O.A.T!

Tom's voice is made of soul and velvet. Perfect pitch, feeling, power.
Phenomenal voice! I was born in 1965, and my Mom has always been a huge fan of his. I grew up listening to him. Check out his song, Delilah.
Good year to be born. Happy to be a sixtyfiver.
Watching your face takes me back 50+ years, watching my dear departed wife's face reacting to Tom Jones sing. You are in good company my dear.
Tom rivals Elvis with the pure masculine power of his voice while also being adept at subtlety when needed. Both were the old school Panty Dropper Kings!

You're so great, Britt. I'm thrilled that you went back to grab the 1967 version. It seems to be the one far more commonly viewed, and it really shows off his raw talent brilliantly.
It's funny that you would induct him into the "panty dropping" club, because at his live performances, women in the audience were constantly literally throwing pairs of panties up onto the stage. It became his trademark! 🤣
Tom Jones still has it l He's a judge on The Voice UK white hair and all. His voice is still the same Beautiful baritone and very active. one of my favorite songs, "Green, Green Grass of Home "
And now you know why so many of us reacted to your react (which was awesome). He has so many tremolo changes to go with that amazing voice.
You mention studio audience performances. Oh yeah there are some from back in the day where he has very intimate reactions WITH the crowd.
Again, as we say here in Texas; Y'all be safe. (Y'all can refer to one or many) 🙃🙃🙃🙃
So happy you are doing more of Tom. Please have a look at I who have nothing from Tom especially his earlier performance.
I don't know about being a member of the PDC club, Tom should be the CEO
Tom Jones is the founding member !!!!!!
The proof of that is the number that used to be left on the stage when he left a live performance.
Thank you for taking the suggestion of viewing his early powers/recording. Great job.
This is Tom singing his own song on Tge Voice Uk dedicated to his wife who died 6 yrs ago.He is 81yrs of age.Talent is Timeless...💚

Tom was Born: June 7, 1940 - Married: Melinda Trenchard (m. 1957-2016) She Died: April 10, 2016... He'll be 83 this year (2023).... and he can still sing...
@@dh0614dh Y cómo canta! Y sigue dando conciertos para beneplácito de sus millones de admiradores en el mundo!
This is most definitely live before an audience. I just knew this would blow you away!!!
He had a phenomenal voice, expressed so much passion, and exuded sex appeal.
I remember seeing him perform this on Dusty's show in 1967, it was a live studio broadcast audience and Orchestra at the BBC. In those days you could queue up and get a free ticket, or write to the BBC for tickets at the various BBC studios for different programs. l was working just around the corner at the time. And to be honest l went to see Dusty sing, l had no idea Tom was going to be there. There was no screaming because we were asked not to call out during all the performances and applause at the end or when someone held up a card or the 'applause' light came on ,asking you too ......🙂 Dusty was a great singer also.
I watched many great performer for free like this. l saw Queen and many others on 'Top of the Pops' at BBC when they were just trying make their name in the world. It was no big deal at the time, now looking back, l was super lucky .....
Tom Jones is in a level all his own.
You are right !! Love it !!
Sir Tom was always known for his vocal power and range. Even Elvis admired his talent.
I’ve seen his concerts a few times and it was only a couple years ago that I was able to see him again and he could still belt it out!!!
Wait until you see the song "Treat her Right" from the Tom Jones TV Show. You can see real time panties being dropped. ITS A MUST WATCH
I’m so glad you saw this too! Knew you’d enjoy it!!
You should listen to 'I (Who Have Nothing}' and 'Without Love' by him from his early years, although he still sounds good at over 80 years of age.
Just 27 years old in this video with THAT voice. Elvis loved it and sought him out to meet when Tom was performing in Las Vegas and they became good friends. Can you imagine those two walking into anywhere together? Panties would be thrown at them for DAYS!
Did you notice his nervous little cough? It became his trademark!
Elvis always my favorite. Didn't know until later that he and Elvis were friends so I got my sister and her husband tickets for Tom, but I didn't go. I did get to see Elvis with my Mommy in concert. Thrill of my life
that’s awesome you got to see Elvis live !
I know you’ve reacted to it twice already, but the son of the man who wrote this song appeared on the voice and sang a duet of this song with him! It’s very good.
Lonnie Donegan. I attended his memorial concert at the Albert Hall with my mum as a teenager
One of his all time best performances! What a Voice!
If you want a fun duet .. listen to a youngTom and a young Stevie Wonder singing on his tv show. They sound sooo good together.
Your reaction to this video is spot on Britt. Tom Jones is the president of the PD club Keep the reactions coming!
If you want to see women reacting to Sir Tom, live, watch 'Treat Her Right', from the Tom Jones T.V. show.
That's the one! (Big) Band is killing it too!
I was going to suggest that song for you to listen - I'm glad you did! I've heard Tom Jones recordings before and he had some hits in the 60's 70's and sounded great but someday I found this video and it made me play attention, WHAT A VOICE!! and you appreciate good music and vocals. The whole gamut of power, finesse, vocal range . . . . . . what a talent!!
Elvis ans Tom were good friends so they can hang out in VIP together
The little catch in his voice after he says "and it looks like" 😢 no auto tune no pitch correction. Perfection
This actually WAS on a show....live. I know you said you liked the version sung in Chile, but I am thinking you are liking this younger, more powerful version a pinch more. And to think, one take, no remake, no remix, no auto-tune. He and Elvis were really close. Although Elvis started before him, Tom seems to have picked up some of the mannerisms and body language from Elvis.
Here is another video from Tom's t.v. show. It shows a little bit different side of him and will give you more of the point for him to be in the PDC. ruclips.net/video/KkKTMoRs-TU/видео.html
I'm back here for a second listen with you this is such a great song. May your path always rise up to greet you!
Love Tom Jones! My dad had the record Delilah which i love. Hes retired now but oh my what a wonderful voice!!!
TOM JONES has an mazing voice still he sure can hit some big notes. he did a song for a James bond film called thunderball that has a big note at the end and when sinning it in the recording studio he actually pasted out hitting it lool crazy
Thank you so much for reacting to this!!!
WooHoo 🙌 full body goosebumps 😁
I was 10 years old in 1967 and my mum thought he was amazing, me too but think I’m appreciating him more now 😂
I think ladies were throwing their panties on the stage for him.
I’ve seen him on The Voice singing and he’s still got it 😁
Lovely, Britt! There's another performance of this...Tom on The Voice UK, around the age of 80, picking out the son of the man who composed this song (Lonnie Donegan) and inviting him to join Tom in singing the song together. Try not to cry when you watch Lonnie's wife, who was at the recording, react to the duo!
Britt, I sure hope your significant other knows how blessed they really are. You are beautiful inside and out!
It was fun watching your whole body react to Tom Jones and especially this song. Now you can see why women were so attracted to him. With this number women were thinking, "Tom, I'll help you." I saw him 5 straight years in Vegas in the early '70s. He put on such a great show. His patter with the audience was always prime. This is where he was able to bring the men into his performance. Many times I remember a man saying, "I'm only here because my wife wants to see him" when they were coming into the show. Then, when leaving I'd here, "We're coming back next year to see Tom." They were on a first name basis now. He was able to make men feel comfortable with him.
Love your reactions honey.Tom is a living Legend one of the most amazing Voices of the century still alive and going today.
Britt, your channel just fell like a gift in my lap last week and I gotta say, I love you a little more every time I watch. ThanQ for putting these out!
He did a duet with Wilson Picket on his TV Show in the late 60s! Great Times.
Beautiful song by a great singer Love your Reaction Britt, you are Beautiful
Tom Jones is in his 80's and can still belt this song out as smooth as glass. Look up on RUclips "Sir Tom Jones & Peter Donegan's 'I'll Never Fall In Love Again' ¦Blind Auditions¦ The Voice UK 2019"
This is live. This man's voice. Big, strong, powerful.
Great Reaction To Tom. Here Is Another To Add To The PDC. Engelbert Humperdinck!! "A Man Without Love" Is One Of His Greatest Hits. He Is Known As The King Of Romance. And Has A Large Catalog Of Hits.
BRAVO!!! THIS is the Tom Jones which we knew.
To get somewhat of a prequel to the story he started here: "What's New Pussycat?" - not really, but it does address the early days of a relationship. Also, it is the ONLY song in Rock history which ends with the word "nose". (Gotcha wondering now, don't I?)
Of course the follow up (relationship wise) to this song is his "Deliliah" - make sure to listen to the early version.
And the follow up to that song (again, if we are going to journey through relationships) is his "Green Green Grass of Home".
These will take you comfortably into the amazing Tom Jones' rabbit hole of singing. Beyond having an amazing voice, once you know his story - especially given the fact that while he was a HEARTTHROB to women as many have written below (and I mean a heartthrob! The stories of women throwing their panties at him on stage is VERY REAL) - and how despite all of that he remained resolutely loyal to his wife for her entire life places him on the "A Man I Want To Emulate" list.
Edit Postscript: The evidence that he still has it in his 70s and 80s is his duet "Sexbomb" (which is in English) with German superstar Helene Fischer [ruclips.net/video/-MZrgXR75Tk/видео.html]! When I get to be that old, I want to be that cool! (Wait ... I am that old! 💩 Do you think there is any hope of becoming Tom Jones Cool if I am starting from this Snake Oil Willie starting block [ruclips.net/video/OOgd9hitEAE/видео.html]?)🤣
You did it!!
I'm going to watch this several times I'm sure.
BTW he is the original President of the PDC. On his TV show they had to adjust the footage because of the women throwing their panties on stage when he sung.
omgoodness -- all your little face scrunches and expressions are killin me! Exactly how I looked when I first reacted to hearing him too!
Sir Thomas Jones Woodward, OBE, was born on June 7, 1940, in Treforest, Wales to Freda Jones (1914-2003) and coal miner Thomas Woodward (1910-1981). Sir Thomas is a Welsh singer and actor.
Peter Donegan, son of music legend Lonnie Donegan, entered The Voice Stage with one wish; to get Sir Tom Jones to turn his chair! Peter’s father toured with Sir Tom back in the day and even wrote "I'LL NEVER FALL IN LOVE AGAIN" for him. Once Sir Tom Jones realized who Peter was, one of the most magical moments on The Voice happened! Jun 7, 2021
Love your reactions so much. So observant and playful at the same time. Your awareness of what makes music artists great v s. The mostly OK to good ones of today is refreshing.
Cudis to you and your meteoric rise in subscriptions.
I have to laugh though in general as to the general lack of awareness of the great music that emanated out of 50' s and 60' s and into the 70's.
It would be awesome for the young to listen to some of the beautiful songs ever
Keep up the great attitude as well as your musical aptitude.
Warm regards, Gary from Oakville Ontario Canada.
He met the son of the composer of this song when he auditioned for The Voice UK. Sir Tom oblige when the contestant requested to sing it live on the spot and it was a real treat.
we welsh are just born with this gift its our green valleys and the air we need to walk up them hills
Let’s not forget Dusty Springfield whose show Tom is on - she had a truly great voice and who can forget “ You don’t have to say you love me”
He's one of a kind . So so cute and omg, just givese goosebumps
Sir Tom Jones still sings this song and tours both sides of the pond, he'll be 83 in June, and sounds the same, he's also a coach on the UK The Voice, he has a Welsh counterpart and long time friend Dame Shirley Bassey who's now 86 and still sings live as well, again sounding much the same as she did in the 1960's the two have recorded four Bond Songs between them and at a guess around 400 million records and sold out concerts since the early 60's and can still fill theatres and stadiums
Tom and Elvis were good friends, they attended each others performances, hung out together, and went on vacations together.....2 greats!!!!! They could both draw you in, and make you drop to your knees...lol....enjoy!!!!
