Tom Jones is such a legend! Graham Norton always has a fantastic array of guests on his show.

[@ohmyblindman]

And let's not forget the ability to curate them regardless of age, gender, etc.

[@NellieKAdaba]

Yes 👍

Graham often brings out the best in his guests. Graham lets them talk, only occasionally encouraging them. Other talk show hosts should take note.

[@spade_yuno]

@Joseph Norm yeah graham usually has guests that seem to enjoy other guests but this group seemed as if they didn’t enjoy who they were with except Tom he seemed happy

[@evancortez2]

and now young singers are telling stories of the time they met Tom Jones

[@jamesfauzan4246]

And Elvis would have been telling stories about how he and Tom have been just like brothers if he were still with us

[@jamesfitzgerald6636]

Elvis 🕺🏼

[@petebarnstrom1495]

I bet there's a lot of those. Tom's much more accessible than Elvis ever was.

It's amazing that he still has such a clear Welch accent after all the years he must have spent on the road!

[@jjs777fzr]

Tom is one of the few that has a raw powerful voice like Elvis. Love hearing stories of their friendship.

[@HercGem]

This incident just shows the respect Elvis had for Tom and vice versa! I just wish they could have recorded together, or maybe have done a concert together-it would have been amazing!

[@randalwung8715]

They performed at different hotels and on nights when Elvis wasn't performing, just for fun, he’d sometimes come strolling across the stage in the background when Jones-who’d be going, “Damn, I’m really killing the audience tonight!”-was mid-song. Effing hilarious and the closest they got to doing a concert together.

[@Seanryan2001]

Tom wanted Elvis as a guest on his TV series This is Tom Jones ( 1969-71) but I'm guessing Col. Tom Parker, Elvis' Manager wouldn't allow it. Shame, that would have been amazing.

[@HercGem]

@@Seanryan2001 I imagine Parker wanted more money for Elvis' appearance than ABC was willing to pay. I agree with you-it would have been amazing. With Elvis as a guest, the show would have had to be at least 2 hours long!

[@elvisleeboy]

@@randalwung8715 It was Bill Medley of the Righteous Brothers who told that story of Elvis walking across the stage during his performance of You Lost That Loving Feeling.

[@randalwung8715]

​@@elvisleeboy Heh...makes me wonder how many performers Elvis pranked like that, lol.

[@blueberry11051]

Sir Tom Jones is such a tremendous artist. We love him very much. Elvis is the king. Without a doubt. As BB King said, "He had it all..." I do know all the songs he did from 1954 -1977...even though we live in Turkey Istanbul and are not of that particular generation Elvis is just pure timeless gold.

[@davesittler8244]

Tom Jones& Shirley Bassy what an awesome pair. Tom’s voice even in his 80’s is even better now as it has a depth to it. He is the only singer that sounds so fantastic now as he has ever done. Even the great Neil Diamond has lost his voice and so have all the other greats men and women but not Sir Tom Jones.🎉

[@veesvoyages]

A legend being starstruck by another legend, what a great story!

I saw Tom Jones in Vegas about 20 years ago. I was sitting at a table right by the stage, and he made eyes at me while singing, "What's New, Pussycat?" I was over the moon, and refuse to believe it had anything to do with the fact that I was about 20 years younger than every other woman there! Lol. Wow, did he sound fantastic, too!

I would only love if Tom try to make up with his other son before it’s too late

[@edturner9670]

@@maypresley I agree. That's the one black mark against him. I was shocked when I first discovered a few years ago that he has son that he chooses to have nothing to do with despite his son's efforts to reach out to him. Basically according to Tom, it wasn't part of the plan when he had an extra-marital affair that resulted in a child. Such a shame. I do not deny Tom Jones's talents, charm, charisma and story telling ability but I feel this is one part of his past that many fans choose to overlook. Basically if you plant your seed, whether it be planned or not, step up and be a man and father unless you don't care of the psychological impact.
