🎵 Tom Jones "It's Not Unusual" REACTION

[@TubetakerBHV]

The great thing is: Tom Jones is in his 80s now and never lost his pipes. Just his dance moves got a bit ... more relaxed.

[@paulawilkison3934]

He’s out touring and I have tix. So excited, he’s been on my list for years

[@annecaminer2988]

He had throat surgery in 1988

[@mollie3484]

My nana still has a thing for him. She'd be well jealous of those tickets. 😂

[@mollie3484]

He'd put a hip out doing those moves now. Bless him.

[@Tony-iu7sw]

That's true... he still smokes Crack out of the same pipe since those days.

[@normlee6566]

I Will Never Fall In Love Again" is the one that showcases his voice and gets some people to tear up. But yeah, Tom Jones back in the day, was the U.K.'s answer to Elvis (and both men were also good friends). He had his own tv variety show for awhile and the ladies really went for this guy.

[@debbiemccain5850]

If you've ever watched "Fresh Prince Of Belair", this was the "Carlton dance"😆 Please watch "Treat Her Right" from Toms variety show back in the day...talk about dance moves!!🎶🎵🎶

[@danjohnson2986]

Saw him in Vegas with my ex. He was in his 70’s and women still were throwing panties. And these were not women in their 70’s. There were some seriously good looking women doing it. Gotta give him credit. This is also the “Carlton dance” song.

One of my personal favourites. It doesn’t matter what time period you grew up in, weather it was the 60s or 2010s, this song can be enjoyed and danced to and by anyone. It’s literally in the lyrics, this song is not unusual can be loved by anyone

Tom was a Welsh coal miner who got "discovered" in '65. This was his first hit and it made him a star who got his own weekly TV show and continued to have a VERY long career. This song was written for another British singer, Cilla Black, and he just did the demo. The story is that she heard his demo and walked out of the recording studio because she was so impressed with it.

[@Froggeth81]

I live not far from where Tom Jones is from in South Wales and yeah he's a huge legend here! I'm actually seeing him perform in Cardiff tonight he's 82 years old! I would check out Without Love, Delilah, I Who Have Nothing

[@mrb4749]

Tom is one of the greatest singers ever. He's 82 still performing heard he retained 90% of his voice. Many great songs. I'll never Fall in Love Again, I who have Nothing, Delilah, Green Grass of Home. I know you both would dig What's new Pussycat.😁.

[@danjohnson2986]

Tom Jones was called the “Welsh Elvis”. Know what else is in Wales? Braun-y-Aur. It’s a house in where Led Zeppelin wrote Bron-y-Aur Stomp. A song you have yet to react to 🤣

I guess at that time, woman panties were not being thrown at Tom, lol. This was a big song for Tom Jones. Funny that Lex mentions a casino, It was 53 years ago that Jones recorded the iconic “Tom Jones Live in Las Vegas” album from a performance at The Flamingo. At one point, he performed two shows a night in Las Vegas appearances. Jones first performed in Las Vegas at The Flamingo Hotel in 1967.

[@christinerobinson9372]

This was the Ed Sullivan show, a Sunday night TV show. Panty throwing would not have been allowed. Plenty of panties and hotel room keys were tossed at him in other venues.

[@kylewelsh_krossdesu7700]

I had to go back and watch Brad's reaction to the dance moves like 10 times. Too funny, man XD

[@AB-C1]

This was a way sped up version for TV it's about twice the speed he usually sings it.. You should try and find some videos of him singing Gospel and Blues he's amazing with those aswell! In fact Tom was best mates with ELVIS even spent a Holiday at Graceland with his wife and Elvis and Precilla Presley!! (he idolised Elvis and Elvis Idolised Tom! -Mutual respect for eachothers vocal/For given talent and gift and just natural ability to feel and sing not only these types of Songs but both Tom and Elvis sand so great Gospel, Blues, Soul etc). Tom is a very versatile singer. Even now in his 80s (as a judge on "The Voice UK" the other judges like 'Will.i.Am' and "Jennifer Hudson" the others etc, will get him to stand up and do a song from the chair or the stage acapella and Jennifer Hudson loves him She often sings Duets with Tom which are just Gold!! Either from their chairs or sometimes they'll get up and do a duet on the stage with her or whoever and he can STILL stay with Jennifer Hudson for power and Range on the duets he's truly a great singer! Not sure what other ones you checked out of his yet. Delilah (is a classic) Green Green Grass it Home (also a classic) There's loads. Maybe see if you can dig out some of his live performances from later in his career. He headlined Glastonbury I think a few years back played a whole set! But he's done some amazing studio duets and songs aswell blues and Gospel... 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Props to the host also, for introducing Tom Jones as being from Wales, and not Britain or England. We are but a population of 3 million + and have produced some great artists.

Ha, I am 60 and my mom, rest her soul, always had a mad crush on Tom Jones. I was a child in the 1960s when he had his show and was so popular and my mom would nearly swoon when he sang and danced.

I'm so glad my mom played this old school music in the car while growing up in the early 2000s.

Recently finished Sit Tom's autobiography, and a very good read it was too. Tom was often squeezed into a mainstream role when his heart was always in blues, gospel and rock 'n' roll.

Tom Jones is an awesome singer. I once heard that studios were told not to place the microphone too close to Tom, because his voice was so strong, that if he hit a sudden powerful note, he'd blow the microphone.
