At 1st, for me, he came on as to clean cut looking for the music he was singing when he sang rock songs. His look fit the ballads he sang perfectly I thought. And Elvis was the man and I thought overshadowed Tom Jones's talent.

@@bertpainter8385 Elvis was the original which is always going to overshadow look alike talents even if that talent is fantastic in their own right.

Vaya dueto, esos si son de los buenisimos

[@midnightrider7648]

Say what you want about little richard, but he was one of, if not the main architect of rock and roll.

[@gynack]

​@Curtis Ostriker Elvis's career started in 1954. It's doubtful that he would have known anything about Little Richard before he hit the big time with Tutti Frutti a year later. However, that's a minor point. You're right that LR did have a huge influence overall, whether or not Elvis was influenced by him.

[@spiritanimal8836]

Undisputed. Richard was the man!

[@thebassbat7882]

he is the God of rock.........

[@dundalis]

@@gynack Think it’s more about the fact that many of the legendary musical influencers of modern music like the Beatles etc were heavily, if not predominantly influenced by little Richard

[@gynack]

@@dundalis Wikipedia has a section on the Beatles' musical influences. They mention Little Richard, but make no suggestion of him being their predominant influence. Presley was apparently important, and there were others like Chuck Berry, the Eerly Brothers and Buddy Holly,

Two of my Favorites, I saw Tom one time, Little Richard I have seen him at least 16 times. I mean on the Front Row in Houston at the Arena Theater and the Old Sm Houston Coliseum, that was such a Shindig, that I felt out of place wearing a Suit &Tie and not a TUX. LONG LIVE THE SIXTIES!!!

[@taffymackem2596]

Wow. Lucky you.

[@taffymackem2596]

Where did you see Tom Jimmy?

[@JMirabat]

Good music little Richard ,1932-2020 just with 87 years old

[@michaeltarasenko4798]

Great sounds of two top performers just great wish they were still here litt Richard is

[@MrJoeybabe25]

He is so awesome! I saw Little Richard for the first time in the late 60's and I wondered to myself, "where the Hell has this guy been all of my life". This is 10 years after his prime and he was better than ever. He will live forever in our hearts and music!

[@brianrocks2087]

Rock and roll the most revolutionary music and that marked a before and after in popular music

Love,Love,Love Little Richard and Tom Jones music those were the days when singers could really sing

[@rneoman]

I hate comments like this, open your ears there are plenty of great singers in every era

[@Da_Xman]

Imagine an entire concert with these guys!

[@walte153]

The could have toured together... like the Elton John - Billy Joel tour.

[@eddiejohnson5370]

Well said

[@josettes8892]

sadly Little Richard has passed. Most rockin' piano ever.

[@gynack]

josette s LR was a great performer. However, he never rocked the piano like Jerry Lee, and nor did anybody else.

[@citrificaL]

Trevor Morris micke muster is better than jerry lee

[@tangrine16]

@@gynack ABSOLUTELY!

[@aceanonymous3647]

@@citrificaL are you crazy Jerry Lee lewis invented his own still

[@zargonthemagnificent330]

Piano? Surely Little Richard's main thing was that great, powerful, bluesy rockin' voice of his. He was wonderful. But when it comes to rockin' piano, it's all about Jerry Lee Lewis.

[@linnharamis1496]

I was never a big Tom Jones fan - he was too much of a Crooner for me. But in this video, Tom Jones keeps up with little Richard - not an easy thing to do - it shows that Tom Jones still had a heart of rock ‘n’ roll🎹🎹🎸🎸🥁🥁👍👍

[@georgebanks6193]

I love your truth...all of its 👍..!. That damn little Richard...ya know what how about little Richard and EltonJohn!!.. mindblowing if ever those teo would tear a theater up!!..

[@adriennerobinson1180]

Really? Wow

[@gynack]

Linn Haramis There's an equally great, if not even better, duet of Tom Jones and Jerry Lee Lewis rocking it out on YT. I'm sure you'd really rate it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/roHVhpSGmLierLM

[@HH-zx2lq]

Little Richard one of the pioneers of Rock n Roll. True king 👑 melanin magic

[@hightowerjared]

Not one of.. THE Pioneer!

[@aaronbutler9373]

Little Richard created Rock n Roll. Rock n Roll is Little Richard. All else followed.

[@andrewr62]

Two extremely talented people. That was great.

[@JWTX]

Tom Jones has to be one of the coolest guys ever

[@taffymackem2596]

No THE coolest lol

[@taffymackem2596]

@Sammy Walker Wales will be on hold.

[@aaroneusjames2342]

discovered these duet performances cuz of the Joplin one.. Tom actually held his own in this one.

[@truebuldog]

There is nothing Tom can't sing and no one he can't sing with.

[@kati1017]

That's so true. And he seems so comfortable doing it!

[@RM-lj8bv]

I saw Tom Jones in Vegas, absolutely fabulous.

[@dosenwurst101]

And he still can sing like that today at 80 years

[@steevrawjers]

Ralph C wow true

[@reneebraxton1032]

Love them. I saw Tom Jones perform at "The Westbury Music Fair " back in the eighties! The Sweet Inspirations were his background vocalists!

[@justinscrib5727]

When that intro kicks in together with the band. DAMN that's some rock and roll. That BASS goes wild.
