      Well there was Tony Bennett who was recording albums with current artists until he was almost 90. But Tony didn't do the things Tom has done. Though I am sure Tony created quite a swath as he has moved through his life. To hear Sir Tom's voice even for a little bit was a thrill. The time he has spent on that show is some of the best on TV. In fact it is really the only reason I watch. I watch the kids version quite a bit because it hasn't yet become sullied. And every now and then you find a Gracie-Jayne Fitzgerald from Sir Toms stomping grounds, Wales. She is going to be special. It would be a fun thing to have Tom sing with Gracie.

    Tom Jones is still fortunate enough to have the most amazing voice, there has never been anyone to rival his rich, strong passionate voice, the man is a TRUE LIVING LEGEND, Why doesnt he get the recognition he truly deserves, he has been giving us all such pleasure for 50 plus years now and has proved he can sing anything and put his own mark on songs. Why the heck hasnt he been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame????

      @@peterdoneganmusic How I would surmise Jones' recognition to the extent I would have the knowledge to comment:
      In the US, Tom Jones has his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame., which I find suitable in that his impact in the States has been as a solid broad-strokes entertainer moreso than someone who would identify himself as or be identified by others as "Rock & Roll"
      In the UK -- Sir Tom IS the British Elvis, and it's not even up for debate. In the Kingdom, he transcends entertainment and rises to the level of cultural icon.
      BTW, to call your father the British Hank Williams would not be hyperbolic -- the nature and volume of his songwriting plus his influence over what became the British Invasion merits favorable comparison. I know you're diligently carrying on his legacy as you chart your own musical path.

    Peter, I remember being very young and my Grandad taking me to my first ever live concert to see your dad! At the time I believed I was his biggest fan! I probably was his youngest seeing as I'm only 26 now! I remember you coming on the stage and singing before your dad came on and I was just amazed the whole night and for weeks after. Your dad was a massive part of me growing up much to my mother's dismay wondering why I couldn't grow up like a normal kid and listen to the spice girls. Instead I was blasting out all of Lonnie's classics 🤣. When this was first broadcast he rang me straight away and said "get the voice on Peter is singing!" he didn't even need to say any more I knew who he was talking about straight away! My grandad passed away on 18/09/20 and we are having one of your dad's songs at his funeral next month. My tribute to him as we used to sing them all the time together. Even through his dementia I'd ask him if he wanted to sing Lonnie with me and it would all come back to him! Thank you to you and your dad for keeping my bond with my grandad as strong as it was right up until his last day. ❤️

      @tomholland3806 9 месяцев назад

      His father Lonnie wrote it indeed. When Lonnie brought the single out it wasn't a succes. (1962) At some point Tom Jones heard about the song and asked Lonnie if he could bring it out as a single as well. (since no one knew Lonnie even brought it out. Tom Jones brought it out in 1967 and it hit number 2 in the charts. In 1976 Elvis Presley brought this song out with permission of Lonnie as well (since he heard Tom Jones singing it and Tom and Elvis knew each other).

    I will never forget that performance Peter. I never really appreciated TJ until later in years. He was the voice for sure in the sixties and seventies when it came to depth. Your Dad’s song sung by Tom has become one of my all time favorites and I’m betting there are great things in store for you as well. Life goes by so fast that, we sometimes forget to take time to embrace all the ups and downs. At seventy three I realize that more now than ever before. Thank you for your talent and thank you for enlightening us on the full story. Best of luck to you and God bless you and your family.

    Some people at the time queried as to whether this had been rehearsed. I can confirm categorically that it was not. I know Ben, who is bassist with the Voice band, and having seen the performance myself, I specifically asked him if it had been rehearsed and he confirmed that it definitely had not been. It was indeed a truly magical moment, and especially so for me as Lonnie Donegan was one of the people who gave me a lifelong love of contemporary music.

Because my grandfather always sang that song, it passes through to our generation to sing it, and now we are the one who I think only sings old songs here in my place. I want to share it more to younger age even I am a teenager. A very wonderful moment even it is a year after I saw this video. This sends some love from the Philippines 🇵🇭 ❤.

When I was younger my dad loved to tell stories about how much he and his friends loved skiffle - they started their own group, washboards n'all. I can also remember songs like Rock Island Line playing on the radiogram and my dad singing along and dancing round the living room. They are both still alive and I showed them The Voice clip, which of course they really enjoyed. Much love to you and your family - I hope you have a long and happy life, and career.

Never fall in love again is the best Tom Jones single ever, and shows Lonnies talent as a truly great songwriter. That was an age of innocence that I loved. Lonnie would come on the old black/white television, and we would all get up and start a sing-along, Lonnie was a great favourite in our house. RIP Lonnie.

    Peter. Just, just, magical. By far the best moment, ever, on The Voice. I hope your mother recovered??? The backstage shots were so emotional.
    Thanks for this piece - and your voice was great.
    As a young man, growing up in Glasgow, I can tell you that your dad was an inspiration for a whole city. He's always a real Scot, to us - even though he left early.
    On a personal level, I can't count the number of people that I've raved to, about your dad's drive, voice, etc., - but most of all, his incredible phrasing and delivery. Truly a unique man, in the history of British music. As somebody said, about British Rock 'n' Roll - 'Remember, Lonnie Donegan started it for you'

      If you read this Peter,your Dad started the post war " pop and rock" music in the UK,and some would say even the world single handedly and changed the life of millions of youths,now adults,forever.I saw Bill Wymans blues band in Manchester a few years ago and about halfway through his set he announced a number,thus :- " we are now going to do ' midnight special ' in homage to Lonnie Donegan without whom,let's face it NONE OF US WOULD BE HERE ON THIS STAGE " I had the privilege of being with Lonnie in the dressing room after that gig and joked that he had ruined my life " as I wanted to be a doctor when I was young then I saw you and heard you on that bloody guitar and that's all I have done for the last 53 years,played my guitar".And i have enjoyed every minute of it,me and a million others."Your dad just chuckled.It is gratifying that at last your dad is now being recognised ,and acknowledged on TV and the media as the true massive catalyst that put guitars in our hands and on the road to fame ,fortune and riches( well actually i got left behind ,but at 74 i am still strumming away,and loving it.) Ps, even the previous arrogance of the Beatles has diminished and they have started to admit the massive debt they owe to your father,the fantastic and great Lonnie Donegan.Obviously Lennon and Harrison before they died.

    I am so surprised at the strength of Tom Jones’ voice. Usually, at that age, your lungs just can’t fill up enough to hold notes, as his did. I loved him wayyyy back when, ( because I’m old enough to remember and appreciate him) and I love him now! I’m also glad that I grew up with great music and wonderful singers, who are still popular today and still rockin’ it 50/years later! I really don’t think all this crappy rap stuff will stand the test of time.

      The chance meeting of these two coming together was a complete farce and a set up. This guy Peter was on TV before and you can bet your months salary Tom knew him beforehand and knew who he was before the recording of the show . How I knew it was all staged was that when they sang together the lyrics of the song was shortened and the only possible way that could have happened was by them meeting beforehand with the producers and agreeing with them both to sing the shortened version. If that didn't happen then Tom and Peter would have sang the full version but they both sang the shortened version in perfect togetherness. If you don't believe me then watch them singing and beforehand listen to Tom's full version on another of his solo videos and then listen to these two singing together.

When I got older, the lyrics made a whole lot of sense. Heartbreak is never easy and you think you'll never fall in love again, because it is too painful. I didn't know the song was written for Tom. I was too young when it first came out. I can't imagine what a high it would be to sing with Sir Tom. You also have a lovely voice.
