I know everyone keeps saying this was such a magical moment for Peter, but think how amazing it must have made Tom feel as well. He is in his 80's, and has had (still has?) A long wonderful career in music, but as an old man it was probably so wonderful for him to sing with an old friend's son. He will always remember that for the rest of his life.
I love that Tom chose this moment to give tribute to his friend by singing a duet with his son. Something he might not have been able to do when he died.
I've seen this many times, but I still cried today watching this, and I'm a dude who normally does not cry. I imagined how Tom Jones felt singing with his friend songwriter's son and how the son felt singing the song his dad wrote for Tom Jones, the wonderful "I'm never gonna fall in love again" classic hit which was HUGE when it came out. And yes, as someone said below, I believe Tom Jones was crying and fighting back tears as he sang. Jennifer Hudson saw this and was supporting Tom Jones to get through the emotions. She cheered him on. Tom Jones is a legend. I love his voice, which he preserved beautifully.
What a precious moment, especially for his Mom. I mean her beloved Husband wrote the Song in 1967 for Tom Jones and now her Son sings it together with him. A very special moment.
It can't be overstated just how important Lonnie was in Brit Rock/Pop with so many wannabes first picking up a guitar to emulate him, the Beatles et al. Remember, Lennon had first started with skiffle and Macca joined him. He set so many on the road to stardom.
Men don't really start losing their voice until they are in their 80's/90's as long as they keep using it. Women lose it so much earlier even when they use it regularly. It's really not fair.
Well, he has a microphone, it's a body mic. That little thing attached to his coat is a body mic, used so his voice is picked up without having to carry one of those big mics around, or worry about a table mic breaking on the turning chair
@@TM-iq6sx I never denied that, my guy, I was just saying 🤣🤣 Nothing wrong with teaching someone something, and, if they have a problem with it, I will apologize for it. No need to come at me 🤣
When Lonnie Donegan wrote "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" for Sir Tom Jones more than half a century ago, he could have never had imagined this magical scene happening five decades later. His son fatefully encounter on the Voice the legend Sir Tom, for whom this piece was written, and they instantly perform with no rehearsal at all, yet with absolute amazement, as it was meant to be. This beautiful song became a true legacy from Lonnie not only to Peter and Sir Tom Jones, but to all of us who were mesmerized by their magical performance. Truly a moment to remember and pay my respects to all.
A mistaken memory here from Tom. Lonnie Donegan had written AND recorded the song five years before Tom's version but it had bombed in the UK charts. Some years later after Tom hit the big time they became friends and at Lonnie's house near London, he pulled out his old record and said "you should do this" Rest is history.
The multitude of emotions she must have been going through must have been overwhelming. I would have blown a gasket. 1st of all, hoping for at least 1 turn & then having it be Tom to bring it full circle. Like he's there to fill in for Lonnie & help pass the torch onto their son. Quite the poignant moment.
I seen the 2020 version of Tom Jones singing it and saying how he didn't pick him like people thought he was it was set up so he picked him but he had no idea
@@marshaneedham880 Peter said the same in his video, that Tom didnt knew who was behind him before he said his lastname.. And I do believe him. But yeah its allmost too good to be true :)
@@brianburkhard5209 its amazing to think about a time where you actually had to be talented to become a star. Not some digitally produce half talents that flood our charts today
@Beverley Ibrahim Tbh. No idea who she is and never heard her. Tom, i never bought a single album, never searched him but could say it was him as a child. The ones you can compared him to is bands or singers known thru all ages (ac/dc, Sabbath, Metallica etc)
I keep returning to this wonderful video...but I cringe when Jennifer says to Tom.."take your time"😮...as if he doesn't know what he's doing by now!!!😂...
I'm an old American Marine Corps veteran I'm still crying.. he said his dad was his best friend Dads should comfort and protect.. good to know that they're out there, my dad beat my mom and my brothers and sisters and me..
I get chills listening to the video; I can’t imagine what the live audience felt when he started singing, and then when they harmonized? Full body shiver for me!
And above all - impromptu, unreversed, with Peter over the other side of the studio and barely able to see Tom. No time to work out parts etc, he only had time to ask the key and they were off. Better TV than the auditions.
Such a powerhouse..STILL. No auto tune, no gimmicks...just a clear powerful voice. John Farnham, Steve Perry, Tom and Freddie Mercury. All insanely powerful voices.
Sir Tom, has the heart of a lion! And he appreciated the son of Lonnie Donegan and he sung the song that Lonnie Donegan wrote for him with his son finally after all years.
Hello amazing fan. It has come to my notice that some of my fans thinks I was the person who died. Late jones was The one who conceived the twist on Romeo and Juliet with composer John Donald Robb. He died 11th August, of cancer in his home in Sharon. I’m still alive and much healthy. Thanks dear fan…
Sir Tom Jones is a very humble person. He remembered his old friend and he also asked Peter if they can sing together and let Peter sang too. And it's a magical moment that sir Tom Jones was the first one and the only one who pushed the button and turned the chair..👍🙏
He was definitely told by production, and they obviously practiced this, else how did he know when to come in? All this is staged... Wake up it's not a magical moment it's a manufactured one 😁
@@bigsteve6729 Hush Darlin', it's perfectly fine to engineer magical moments, if that is indeed what happened. No one ever said magic took no work luv. ^~^ Also, just my opinion, but it truly seemed to me like the performer and the band were following the lead of Sir Tom Jones. The contestant was a half-step behind while Jones had the band knowing what was going on because he set the tone, so to speak, just my own thoughts on it. I like how the contestant finally saud "F^$# It" though and let himself go ahead to do his own thing with Sir Jones.
There are great singers and then there are legends. Jennifer Hudson looks at Tom Jones and you can tell in her expression, she's looking at a legend singing.
Same thing with Oly Murs. He is just sitting there taking it in. Not many performers have a voice that strong, let alone a presence and career as that.
@@marmite. I would probably need to look up some of their songs, but I've certainly heard of Lonnie Donegan & The Springfields. John Peel mentioned them in one of the guidebooks he wrote, about Supermarionation, setting the scene for the times.
@@DavidBDavis-lz7bt Guess you're not a Brit, David.... Lonnie Donegan was huge in the UK, 1956 - 60, the reason so many kids picked up a guitar, an influence on all that happened behind the rise in the 'Invasion' and later Brit pop. The Beatles, Stones, Floyd, you name them, all acknowledged that.

I've watched the blind auditions of The Voice UK on YT from the 2012-2013 to the more recent ones, and the band and audio crew of the UK version always struck me as insanely good musically as well as in sound quality and balance
@Arghishable I've always said you need to be a quality musician to make it as a session musician. More so than to be in a chart topping band. The vast majority of these guys and girls are extremely good at what they do.
That song still can be heard in our local radio stations all over the archipelago every sunday. Tom Jones still rockin the radio here in The Philippines. 😍😭 I'm crying..
@@BroskiShortz The contestants registered the songs they'll perform so the band will practice before the show. Of course, they'll surely knows many songs through experience which makes it easier for them and practice only to make sure there's no slip up during the real show. But, other than the contestant's audition performance the band is really awesome to know and perform songs that are not even planned to be performed at first. Maybe a bit improv that deviate from the original to match the singers but even so it is really awesome.
@@joshuaamadeusishak1887 Also some of the musicians in this band regularly tour with Tom Jones so that helps too ;-) They are some of the best session Musicians in London - Scott Mckeon, Ben Jones and Ash Soan
@@joshuaamadeusishak1887 Not to mention that the producers knew who Peter's father was (it was in his video bio) and will have known that Tom performed one of Lonnie's songs, so would likely have forewarned them. I'd guess that Peter also practiced it in advance of the audition on the off-chance that a situation like this might come up. As an aside, without wanting to sound conspiratorial, watching the way that the other judges were encouraging Sir Tom to hit the button without hitting their own does suggest that even if Sir Tom hadn't been briefed, perhaps they had. Particularly when you consider Will's comment about this being "magical" came across as a little bit forced. Sir Tom's apparent surprise at Peter's comment about playing it on the piano does, at least, suggest that Sir Tom himself wasn't briefed in advance.
I grew up listening to Lonnie all the old songs my dad had all of them . Si glad to see his son is also singing great voice as well . Like Father Like son .
This man is Icon, Legend. You can see it in Toms eyes when he is looking at Peter..this is a moment they will treasure forever. Tom, that is why you are a Sir.
Meanwhile, Tom lets his own son starve and be homeless because Tom feels like his Son's mom swindled him. That has nothing to do with the son and Tom should help the poor boy who literally has to busk in the streets. Tom gives one son everything and the other one nothing. So mean...
This is the duet in the Voice that will be remembered for a long, long time. Tom Jones, you are incredible not only as a singer but as a man with a kind, humble and grateful heart. Peter Donegan, your composer-friend's son, and his family will treasure this magical moment for the rest of their lives.
What We’re The Chances Of Tom Jones Doing A Song 🎶 🎵 With His Best Friend’s Son No Body Could Do That But God They Both Needed That , They Filled Each Other Hearts 🥰 ❤️ Up With Love 💕
His son would be proud... because he is the only candidate that commanded the longest time for audition and sang duet with a Tom Jones singing a song that his father wrote for Tom Jones....all in that Audition. That was the best Voice Audition in my opinion
That seriously made me cry, what a beautiful tribute to his dad. That was so hard for mum, she’s probably never fallen truly in love again as she did for Lonnie.
I've watched this video too many times to count. Peter Donegan's voice along with the vintage voice of Tom Jones moves me beyond words. It was truly a magical moment on The Voice. An amazing moment.
That wasn't an audition, that was a pure magical moment. As I'm typing, he said the words I was going to type so I guess I won't do it. That had me in tears. I had a crush on Tom Jones back in the early 70's. His career was hot at the time, and he proved here that he still has that same beautiful voice from so long ago.
His rendition back in the day should go down as one of the classics, and never to be topped. Having said that, this version has a depth of feeling only an older singer with his experience could produce. Both gave me goosbumps. Well done Tom!

Man, 80 years old, and Tom's voice still carries like that.
My dad fave singer ❤️
Not many people can maintain a voice like that! Bravo!!!!
As Tom said despite his age, his career is still going and he hasn't stopped singing and its use it or lose it.
That is true, excellent 🌹❣️
He is the GOAT. The man is absolutely a timeless treasure.
Sir Tom is literally like a fine wine. Gets better and better with age.
My thoughts exactly!
literally
Luckily I'm a man, phew!
You mean his voice ?
No it's not true sir Tom was far better in his prime
That was a Beautiful Moment 😂
One of the best auditions ever.
I know everyone keeps saying this was such a magical moment for Peter, but think how amazing it must have made Tom feel as well. He is in his 80's, and has had (still has?) A long wonderful career in music, but as an old man it was probably so wonderful for him to sing with an old friend's son. He will always remember that for the rest of his life.

And what a powerful voice he still has...hasn't lost a note !!
Agreed! I always loved Tom and he still has it! ❤️
It's very touching 🥺
This has to be one of the most magical moments on the Voice.
Indeed
Absolutely agree ❤️🎶 How special 😍👌🏽
We heard you the first 3 times Will...
Absolutely Awesome

I love that Tom chose this moment to give tribute to his friend by singing a duet with his son. Something he might not have been able to do when he died.
It was awesome. Honoring someone is great but honoring his son as well, WOW!
Because if he died he be dead :\
Tom needs to be kinder to his own son, he is an awful father
@@paullambert7110 Yes, that was a really bad misspeak on his part.

It looks like and sounds like Tom started to cry..I think this was emotional for him. 😢

Shame the others didn't care or have the right to lick his boots
The others have no respect from me anymore
The way Tom looked at Peter singing it’s like he saw his old friend. You can just see it in his eyes. Special moment for both.
I commented this more or less on tiktok...
Yes I saw this as well. Two generations,one song.
IKR? I got chills ❤
Yess.. me too.a setup, but a wonderfull setup. He knew peter . Nevertheless, very enjoyable show.
Amazing ❤❤❤
What a precious moment, especially for his Mom.
I mean her beloved Husband wrote the Song in 1967 for Tom Jones and now her Son sings it together with him. A very special moment.
Yes it was special but Lonnie wrote it for himself and put his own record out in 1962. Tom mis-remembered this.
Indeed
Amazing

I think thats a sister..
Ever notice how much respect the other judges give Tom Jones. He's just someone that you can help but respect
Yes!
I have a question though: How is it possible to not lose A SINGLE bit of your voice after SO LONG???
@@yoitsAndy1 in my humble opinion
That’s was authentic singing
I think Jennifer Hudson has gotten better over the years too
Tom Jones is a Treasure. The world will be a little different without him.
@@yoitsAndy1 Welsh magic.
53 year old man and brought a tear , fantastic
Im with you, Brother
Unlike many artists, Tom hasn’t lost a single bit of his voice.
What a special tone Tom has. Very unique and so strong too. Incredible thing to see.
Amazing to hear him sing that well at 78 years old! Absolutely incredible.
Men don't really start losing their voice until they are in their 80's/90's as long as they keep using it.
Women lose it so much earlier even when they use it regularly. It's really not fair.
I would say he is an old-school singer. One of the best one, and last one.
It shows how he’s looked after it over the years.
Hearing Mr. Jones sing that way and without a microphone, is something indescribable; what a way to sing and what power of voice...my respects.
Well, he has a microphone, it's a body mic. That little thing attached to his coat is a body mic, used so his voice is picked up without having to carry one of those big mics around, or worry about a table mic breaking on the turning chair

Super great stuff
Las vueltas del Destino... que maravilloso. Además Sir Tom Jones le hace un reconocimiento a Lonnie Donegan. Bendiciones Sir Tom
I listened to Lonnie singing, I’ll never fall in love again and can definitely hear the resemblance in their voices. No wonder Tom turned.
Still my favorite Voice moment. So happy for this young man. Tom Jones is just such a talent…Wow!
Regardless of him winning or not, this precious moment is an ultimate win for him. :)

The pride in her mother's eye for his late husband was so amazing.
I'd like to think what she saw was her Wonderful Son.....Shining bright.... on his own two feet. I'm sure she was over the moon proud of him!
Very true
This is pure magic a song that says it all!
her late husband.....
2 things about Tom Jones,
1) He has the most amazing stories
2) He just belts it out, no warm up, any time any place
LEGEND :)
Facts. When you have it, you just have it
And he doesn't need an earpiece or anything else...
Without any warm up!
Nothing like rolling off the trailer and having Sir Tom knock it out of the park
The look of admiration and love in Mums eye....says it all

Does anyone know how far is dunnegan the season
Refreshing!!
Tom gave his all even in his 80's to honour a friend and his family ... This is pure wholesomeness
This is such a special moment. Brought me to tears. I’m so glad Tom did this duet with him in honor of his dad.

No one ever said magic took no work luv. ^~^ Also, just my opinion, but it truly seemed to me like the performer and the band were following the lead of Sir Tom Jones. The contestant was a half-step behind while Jones had the band knowing what was going on because he set the tone, so to speak, just my own thoughts on it. I like how the contestant finally saud "F^$# It" though and let himself go ahead to do his own thing with Sir Jones.
There are great singers and then there are legends. Jennifer Hudson looks at Tom Jones and you can tell in her expression, she's looking at a legend singing.
Wow. Congratulations
So true
The soul in his voice is just...
Same thing with Oly Murs. He is just sitting there taking it in. Not many performers have a voice that strong, let alone a presence and career as that.
Jennifer will be in that class one day
Peter’s smile when Tom was telling him a story about his dad 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Hello Cara-Marie thanks for your comments and support I really do appreciate❤️
Im so glad that I grew up when great singers like Tom jones were performing
I love how Peter says "That's my Dad" with a lot of proud and love! This audition made me cry 💕
me too
@@erikhoppenbrouwers3036 Tom knew before he hit his button who it was. It's pathetic to try and fool us into thinking this was all spontaneous.
@@baz810 bitter
@@baz810 Haha....keep telling yourself that....chill
Yes, made me cry too!!! Beautiful moments!❤
Sir Tom Jones sings better today, at his age, than most young recording artists we have today. Simply a wonderful moment.
So true. I will be seeing in in October in Texas
🎯💯💯💯💯🌟
Es verdad es una gran voz inigualable como la de Elvis Presley
there are artists who are like good old wine, the older it gets the better this one is
AGREED
Right away Tom remembers his father. But this guy is already a pro.
Lonny was a big name/still is to everyone at that time..
@@marmite. I would probably need to look up some of their songs, but I've certainly heard of Lonnie Donegan & The Springfields. John Peel mentioned them in one of the guidebooks he wrote, about Supermarionation, setting the scene for the times.
@@DavidBDavis-lz7bt Guess you're not a Brit, David.... Lonnie Donegan was huge in the UK, 1956 - 60, the reason so many kids picked up a guitar, an influence on all that happened behind the rise in the 'Invasion' and later Brit pop. The Beatles, Stones, Floyd, you name them, all acknowledged that.
I've seen this many times, but I still cried today watching this, and I'm a dude who normally does not cry. I imagined how Tom Jones felt singing with his friend songwriter's son and how the son felt singing the song his dad wrote for Tom Jones, the wonderful "I'm never gonna fall in love again" classic hit which was HUGE when it came out. And yes, as someone said below, I believe Tom Jones was crying and fighting back tears as he sang. Jennifer Hudson saw this and was supporting Tom Jones to get through the emotions. She cheered him on. Tom Jones is a legend. I love his voice, which he preserved beautifully.
But the song wasn’t written for Tom Jones because Lonnie Donegan originally released the song in 1962
The love in toms eyes when he sang with him was like 2 old friends who lost touch reconnected for just a moment ❤ that hits the soul different ❤❤
Hello amazing fan.
It has come to my notice that some of my fans thinks I was the person who died. Late jones was The one who conceived the twist on Romeo and Juliet with composer John Donald Robb.
He died 11th August, of cancer in his home in Sharon. I’m still alive and much healthy.
Thanks dear fan…
One of the best moments ever on any version of The Voice.
Truly heartwarming to see the beautiful exchange between the two musicians with a father & songwriter in common.
I'll second that emotion!
What a truly beautiful moment. Tom's voice gets better and better
No. On TV period.
@@rogerlephoque3704 I agree!
What a professional band. After hearing the first verse, the band comes right in and follows along!
Yeah, noticed that and also, just for an instant at 9:03, the look on the bands directors face when he knew the duo had aced it.
I've watched the blind auditions of The Voice UK on YT from the 2012-2013 to the more recent ones, and the band and audio crew of the UK version always struck me as insanely good musically as well as in sound quality and balance
Professional 💪💪
@Arghishable I've always said you need to be a quality musician to make it as a session musician. More so than to be in a chart topping band. The vast majority of these guys and girls are extremely good at what they do.
Right!?!?!? The drummer knew just when to jump in. Absolutely loved that
Incredible and magical moment...❤❤🎉🎉
When Tom stood I became very emotional. And the respect and awe Jennifer showed, shows what a generous, humble person she is.
Indeed, humble. That was a sweet, respectful look of a fan admiring greatness.
@@bradsweeney4536 An Artist respecting another Artist.
This man invoked a round of applause just from standing up
What a legend
@@glennruscher4007 An artist respecting a LEGEND.
Man...Tom still tops 99.5% singers today from chair with no warm up. What a legend this bloke, get around him.
He just lightly sings few notes and there you go. Pure gold. Theres very little comparison.
Um no 😂 there are many many known & unknown artists / singers around the world sings magically, beautiful, powerful
Still love him!
You don't know there was no warm up it could have been planned
Another singer who does that is JHud herself. The girl need no warm up
That song still can be heard in our local radio stations all over the archipelago every sunday. Tom Jones still rockin the radio here in The Philippines. 😍😭 I'm crying..
Tomorrow is sundays best..tom jones songs
😭😭😭
watch this video for, I don't know, hundred times...?? and still awesome...!! so touching... 😘 😭😭😭
i'm crying too
Yes he is and after a few drinks of red horse the karaoke goes to Delilah and everyone sings!!
When Tom turns around, you know you have something special 👏🏻
Somethings are meant to be. Like the others said, he heard something in that voice that struck a chord with him.
The look Tom gives him when he starts singing at the piano is so beautiful. He's so proud for this man and probably sees his father in him
I am so glad that it was only Tom that turned around like it was meant to be
Magical moment really amazing
TOM,, BESTIA CON SU VOS,,INIGUALABLE....OJALA LO TENGAMOS X MUCHOS AÑOS MAS
yeah i saw that right as the flood gates opened. that was tremendous
@@jasondamrau9147 Those other judges don't understand "real music".
Sir, Tom Jones, has that factor about his voice. No one else sounds like him.
Come here to philippines and i'll give you A thousand people sing like sir tom jones. ✌️✌️✌️
@@payatskienespino7388 This is true on the OI, but they are acting. You have a lot of Michael Jackson's there too!
@@penseyfrancis464 Please search for Jun Alison, Sam Sarono and Philip Arabit on RUclips. Tnx.
@@edgardoatienza7794 ok, I will.
🤩🤩🤩
This wasn't just magical, it's was one of the most incredible moments ever to happen.. Wow what a moment.
Absolutely, tremendous!
All i can say is WOW.
I just wanna shout out to the musicians in the back. They know every song people throw at them. Even when it’s not planned!! Talent
That's why they are called session musicians...professional. Knowing every song is part of their job.
@@BroskiShortz The contestants registered the songs they'll perform so the band will practice before the show. Of course, they'll surely knows many songs through experience which makes it easier for them and practice only to make sure there's no slip up during the real show. But, other than the contestant's audition performance the band is really awesome to know and perform songs that are not even planned to be performed at first. Maybe a bit improv that deviate from the original to match the singers but even so it is really awesome.
@@joshuaamadeusishak1887 Also some of the musicians in this band regularly tour with Tom Jones so that helps too ;-) They are some of the best session Musicians in London - Scott Mckeon, Ben Jones and Ash Soan
@@joshuaamadeusishak1887 Not to mention that the producers knew who Peter's father was (it was in his video bio) and will have known that Tom performed one of Lonnie's songs, so would likely have forewarned them. I'd guess that Peter also practiced it in advance of the audition on the off-chance that a situation like this might come up.
As an aside, without wanting to sound conspiratorial, watching the way that the other judges were encouraging Sir Tom to hit the button without hitting their own does suggest that even if Sir Tom hadn't been briefed, perhaps they had. Particularly when you consider Will's comment about this being "magical" came across as a little bit forced. Sir Tom's apparent surprise at Peter's comment about playing it on the piano does, at least, suggest that Sir Tom himself wasn't briefed in advance.
Not only any song - but in any key as well.
That moment Tom said Go Ahead....then he smile... Like a proud dad it is.
The way Sir Tom smiles when Peter starts singing is awesome!!
I grew up listening to Lonnie all the old songs my dad had all of them . Si glad to see his son is also singing great voice as well . Like Father Like son .
When the Magic happens no one can explain. His father was around making that moment perfect.
That was the best ❤️
It's true❤️
This man is Icon, Legend. You can see it in Toms eyes when he is looking at Peter..this is a moment they will treasure forever. Tom, that is why you are a Sir.
Meanwhile, Tom lets his own son starve and be homeless because Tom feels like his Son's mom swindled him. That has nothing to do with the son and Tom should help the poor boy who literally has to busk in the streets. Tom gives one son everything and the other one nothing. So mean...
The lesson here is that great man never forgets the people that they encountered in their life
I love the way Tom says to him after they finished singing, "you look like your old man you know?" 😢
The Emotional duet that the people all over that world shocked and cried.
I second that emotion.
Me too
And me
So true 😍
Tom Jones voice stands out so much just like Elvis Presley. You just know that voice!!! Love Tom Jones
Such a legend. My Idol Mr. Tom Jones.
They were close friends
This is the duet in the Voice that will be remembered for a long, long time. Tom Jones, you are incredible not only as a singer but as a man with a kind, humble and grateful heart. Peter Donegan, your composer-friend's son, and his family will treasure this magical moment for the rest of their lives.
This was an incredible moment. If you wrote it in a script, no one would believe it.
I feel like Mr.Donegan came to Earth for a breaf momments and whispered in Tom's ear...hey that's my son, our music lives on him tourn around
I agree, devine intervention
Agreed
That was a 1 in a million moments. Tom’s voice just hits you so hard and deep. The two of them singing together wow.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
As strong as ever!
What We’re The Chances Of Tom Jones Doing A Song 🎶 🎵 With His Best Friend’s Son No Body Could Do That But God They Both Needed That , They Filled Each Other Hearts 🥰 ❤️ Up With Love 💕
God bless Tom.
His son would be proud... because he is the only candidate that commanded the longest time for audition and sang duet with a Tom Jones singing a song that his father wrote for Tom Jones....all in that Audition. That was the best Voice Audition in my opinion
I have to agree with you on that, super audition
Lovely
Indeed, very breathtaking.
Agree
The best audition, and the best duet I ever heard,
Tom ready to sing like that at any given moment and while sitting......what a guy
That seriously made me cry, what a beautiful tribute to his dad. That was so hard for mum, she’s probably never fallen truly in love again as she did for Lonnie.
Same
Imstill sobbing
Absolutely
I cried a lot
same here
This would be an instant hit if they actually sang this song as a duet. There voices compliments each other... harmoniously beautiful ❤
Agreeeed!
They did do it as a duet though.
Or do you mean if they recorded it in a studio setting?
@@cherishedvalor yes a proper studio recording and released as a single 👍
I would buy it and play it on my radio program.
Look at the sparkling eyes of Sir Tom enjoying singing with his friends son. Such a great man who has not missed a beat.
I've watched this video too many times to count. Peter Donegan's voice along with the vintage voice of Tom Jones moves me beyond words. It was truly a magical moment on The Voice. An amazing moment.
How can Sir Tom still sing this heavenly? This duet is pure magic...
He stayed in shape and kept working his voice.
That wasn't an audition, that was a pure magical moment. As I'm typing, he said the words I was going to type so I guess I won't do it. That had me in tears. I had a crush on Tom Jones back in the early 70's. His career was hot at the time, and he proved here that he still has that same beautiful voice from so long ago.
Wow, wow and Wow
Been playing this several times, love the duet. Glad Tom pressed the bottom, that was a pure real moment ! Thanks to both of you !
Awesome
This has the most magical moment with Tom Jones and other singer on the Voice.
His rendition back in the day should go down as one of the classics, and never to be topped. Having said that, this version has a depth of feeling only an older singer with his experience could produce. Both gave me goosbumps. Well done Tom!
Peter you already win...that’s far more memorable than the actual win... that experience is already a huge accomplishment in itself 🙌
