“Standards” refers to standard songs from what is known as the “American Songbook” of the 30s, 40s and 5Os. Elvis wanted Tom to leave the old songs to Frank, whereas Frank said your too good for that Pop stuff. That’s why he said he got “opposite advice” from Sinatra and Elvis.

[@Calamity_Jack]

Just so! To clarify, Wikipedia's definition: "The Great American Songbook is the loosely defined canon of significant early-20th-century American jazz standards, popular songs and show tunes." Basically, a bunch of hit songs that most people back then knew very well. Many singers (male and female) used to sing their version of standards.

I agree about Tom Jones. But what's really terrible I believe is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame completely ignoring Joe Cocker. He has never even been nominated. Billy Joel has been very upset about this as many many people are. Billy has mentioned it in a small documentary about Joe cocker and he's even sent letters to the nomination committee to no avail he even honors Joe cocker and brings it up at his concerts. And guess who are some members of the nomination committee, Robbie Robertson, Tom Morello, who by the way the band he was in rage against the machine was nominated last year or the year before when they became eligible. Also on the committee Quest Love. And I have two more artists that should be there Jethro Tull and Cyndi Lauper never nominated. It's all politics and money nowadays. They put people on the nomination list that no one's even heard of before. But again I do believe Tom Jones should also be included. 😊

It really, really makes me angry that Sir Tom Jones is NOT IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME!!!! THEY HAVE ARTISTS WHO HAVE BEEN INDUCTED BY THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME AND THEY SHOULDN'T BE THERE!!!! I recognize that there are many, many artists who have been inducted and it was very well deserved. Tom Jones and some other great performers have not been inducted. Some have been asked and they have rudely declined!!! I hate it when they induct a great band or solo artist after a band member or two has passed away. I have seen them do the same thing with a couple of solo artists. SIR TOM JONES HAS EARNED HIS PLACE IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME!!!! LET'S TRY AND GET HIM THERE!!!!!!

[@micheleberara2842]

@@giannag4581 You are absolutely 💯 right That is the point that I made as well. Tom Jones and several other wonderful artists should be in the Rock and Roll hall of fame. Billy Joel, The Great Late Joe Cocker are definitely among those who should be inducted. I don't believe they have inducted Janis Joplin either. I realize she died in October of 1970, but she was a magnificent talent and she deserves to be there too!!!

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

Wilson Pickett (or as some of us called him, "Wicked Wilson Pickett") was one of the most iconic non-Motown R&B artists of the 1960s. His star burned its brightest from about 1966 to 1971 or so. He was one of the stable of artists who would travel to Muscle Shoals, Alabama to record at FAME Studios because of the rhythm section that was "the house band" there, and was the subject of the documentary film titled "Muscle Shoals." I know I've recommended this motion picture to you a half-dozen times before, without any response from either of you. But believe me, it would be well worth your time (along with the other documentaries I've recommended). It's one of those must-see films if you want to acquaint yourself with a little piece of music history and gain some much-needed perspective if you really want to consider yourselves students of popular music. Some of Wilson Pickett's biggest hits include, "Mustang Sally," "634-5789," "Land of 1,000 Dances," and "In the Midnight Hour." They're all R&B classics.

[@SteveoGregg]

I won't have toa say anything, now, Thanks!!!

A major figure in the development of American soul music, Pickett recorded over 50 songs which made the US R&B charts, many of which crossed over to the Billboard Hot 100. Among his best-known hits are "In the Midnight Hour" (which he co-wrote), "Land of 1,000 Dances", "634-5789 (Soulsville, U.S.A.)", "Mustang Sally", "Funky Broadway", "Engine No. 9", and "Don't Knock My Love".[2] Pickett was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991, in recognition of his impact on songwriting and recording.[3]

[@charlenelesher1198]

My favorite Wilson Pickett song is Mustang Sally. My Mom had a console stereo and hundreds of albums my sister would sing and dance to. Tom Jones was one of her favorites and I remember watching his TV show. We watched the Osmonds, the Jackson Five, Sonny and Cher, and so many more. Growing up with music was the best experience. Country, oldies, pop, rock, classical....if it was music, we enjoyed it completely!

The "Standards" were songs that were _safe_ . Elvis believed that Tom, like himself, was more cutting edge with their song choices . . . . that they pushed the edge of the envelope, offending certain portions of the population and that Sinatra should be doing the "safe" songs that offended no one at all. In other words, Elvis was saying, "We're the trailblazers. Let Frank and the others enjoy the open trail we create by being on the cutting edge of the art."

[@rosecordova3597]

Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding are two of the great Soul singers of the 60s. Frank Sinatra was the original crooner. Burt Bacharach is one of the great songwriters. So many artist have made his songs classics. Paul McCartney is knighted. An honor giving by the queen of England for there works contributions to the United Kingdom. Sinatra's daughter Nancy Sinatra made a movie with Elvis and Frank had a lot of affection for Elvis. And yes Elvis and Tom were very good friends. There is so much I can tell you but research for yourself. You'll find so many surprises that you will enjoy discovering.There is a documentary on Netflix about Frank Sinatra that also gives you a small history of his relationship with Elvis that I think you'll enjoy very much. I love your reactions and can't wait to see more.

[@Dudlow]

When Elvis & Tom talk about 'standards', they mean songs that are performed a lot by loads of musicians - the kind of songs that as a gigging musician you'd be expected to be familiar with so that you could pretty much play them by ear if you had to stand in at a gig. It's more typical in the jazz world, where standards include songs like Summertime, Sweet Georgia Brown, Autumn Leaves, 'Round Midnight, My Funny Valentine, etc

[@j800r_aswell]

You started typing that before they got the answer in the very video they were watching didn't you? :P

Frank was "Chairman of the Board", and suspected of having certain Italian "business" ties. Standards were his bread and butter. Nobody touched them if he wanted them.

[@Diva369]

There are a number of Frank Sinatra Biopics. For many years of his adult life, Frank was "hopelessly" in love with the stunning actress Eva Gardner. They were married shortly, but it's painfully obvious he loves her more than she loves him. He recorded an number of "Torch Songs", a term derived from the phrase "carrying the torch for someone" which basically means not being able to get over an unrequited love. The tracks are slower and moodier. Many people like this particular side of Frank the most. "Frank Sinatra Sings For Only The Lonely" album is filled with lamenting ballads.

Frank Sinatra was the first performer that girls went crazy for. In the 1940’s the girls screamed and cried and absolutely adored him because of his beautiful pure voice. He became known as “The Voice.” As he grew older his sex appeal grew and matured with his audience. He always had great confidence in himself and that attracted the ladies and the male audience appreciated him as well. He had a tremendous stage presence in person. Pure swag! Wilson Picket was a great R&B singer. Check him out. Mustang Sally & In the Midnight Hour.

Definitely should listen to Elvis Presley’s version of “My Way”… you haven’t heard it proper until you’ve heard Elvis sing it! And a few other people who have been knighted are Barry Gibb (Bee Gees), Paul McCartney, and I think Ringo Starr (Beatles)

[@dawsonp3314]

I like Elvis but in my opinion they should react to Paul Anka's version, THE ORIGINAL VERSION. Just knowing the Paul Anka wrote the song and to hear him sing it is just amazing.

[@hellokittyx7]

@@dawsonp3314 Nah, Elvis has the best version

[@shawnsnow2655]

You both are off yer rockers!

[@jenniezamek2849]

And, Mick Jagger has been Knighted.

[@carokat1111]

Also, Sir Rod Stewart

[@andrewwright9378]

Wilson Pickett’s The Midnight Hour would be one to react to.

[@peggynichols1400]

Mustang Sally and Barefootin' too!

[@pamz3085]

Loved your reaction, as always. Listen to Tom Jones singing "My Way." I just did and he sounded really good, especially about halfway through and at the end.

[@TT-js4jn]

Yep I'm back to watch you guys again on this reaction because it was so good. That's right

[@Tinker_LV426]

Please do a live stream! I know we are are yelling out the answers to your questions. My poor dogs think I'm nuts!

[@louquine]

Now you need to listen to Dame Shirley Bassey, the other Welsh international superstar with a hugely powerful voice.

[@Loki1815]

I worked for Alfred Bishop removals in the West End (London) and moved (Sir) Tom Jones, Engelbert Humperdink and Mrs Mills from St George's Hill, Weybridge to America. Their houses were spectacular, Sir Tom, of course, had a Dragon motif on the bottom of his swimming pool. Pat Dorsey, wife of Engelbert was a lovely woman, who, I understand, died of Covid last year. RIP.

[@brachiator1]

Great choice of interview. You're right that it gives a useful overview of Tom's career. BTW, as young crooners, both Bing Crosby ( in the 1930s) and Frank Sinatra (in the 1940s) were noted for making young ladies swoon and go crazy.

[@philmiller5401]

I love Tom Jones, His voice is so deep, and strong. I think you should listen to the Righteous Brothers version of " You've lost that loving feeling"

[@KenOtwell]

They mean that Frank does standards, but Elvis and Tom do unique songs just for them that no one else has recorded.

[@Bassman2353]

Not accurate; Tom Jones has recorded and had hits with many covers, just not from the American Songbook. "The Green Green Grass Of Home" and "Kiss" are two examples.

[@TheSquirrelgirl55]

The interviews are a great idea! Great for long time fans( older people like me, haha) and a great well to fill in some history on the musicians. Looking forward to them!

[@Davescousemetal]

Tom Jones is the man . Still killing it at 83

[@NickiTwix]

My favourite Tom Jones song is With These Hands, I think it’s not talked about enough. I only know it because of the movie Edward Scissorhands

[@josephscally6270]

Tom is 81 now and STILL in great form. I very much like this type of video where you dig a little deeper into an artist you have reacted to.

[@harlech52]

I used to work with a Mr Jenkins who was the factory manager where Tom was a construction labourer before he became a professional singer. Every Christmas the staff would have a party in Cardiff (the Welsh capital city) and staff would buy tickets to attend. One year nobody was buying any tickets so Mr Jenkins had a word with one of the staff and asked why nobody was buying tickets. She said - we do want to go but will you promise us one thing. What is that, asked Mr Jenkins - will you make sure Tom does not get up and sing. Last year he took the mic and nobody could get him off stage all evening. So Mr Jenkins agreed and the Christmas party went ahead (and that's not unusual :-) )

[@philipevans1027]

A young man from the valleys of wales my dad was a bouncer in Porthcawl where Tom started to be noticed was m8s with my dad back then . I was born in 66 my old man acually looked like him back then . But dad whethered better without the LA sun, sadly he passed 12 years ago with cancer the stories he told me though, Tom Jones a proud welsh man not lost the accent after 50 + years away x

[@briangulley6027]

The Presidential Medal of Freedom is more or less the US version of being knighted. Usually awarded for a lifetime of achievement. Paul McCartney and Mick Jagger were also knighted.

[@wickedmirage]

Tom is so awesome. Heh, yes walking into a bar and seeing him, Frank and Elvis would be mind blowing. This was fun and YES Amber was right when she said "what's new pussycat", she know the chorus for sure. Look into The Wrecking Crew documentary, it explains the late 50s thru the mid 70s sound of American music. Keep up the good work and have a blessed day.

[@gcf172]

There’s a KZbin video of Tom Jones singing a medley with his idol Wilson Pickett. The soul between them blows your mind!

[@sandyca1106]

I use to have Tom's entire record collection. Have always loved him. He is now 80 years and still can belt out a tune.

[@JohnnyPappas]

One of the great stories that Tom Jones tells is when Michael Jackson visited his home in Los Angeles and said "You had a great career," Tom answered "Am having." Please watch clips of him from "The Voice UK," you can find them on The Voice Global channel.

[@lindakinninger5500]

If you want to hear some”standards” check out Rod Stewart songs from The American Songbook

[@williamflinchum-qo6ch]

Wilson Pickett/ Mustang Sally/ Hey Jude( Beatles) cover, that went top 10!

[@brendadickenson3547]

You need to see him from the Voice UK, where the son of the man who wrote a song for Sir Tom came on the show and they did that song together

[@LA-fz5qw]

Frank was a huge sex symbol but standards are part of the great American songbook and when you get to Rod Stewart he had all his string of hits and then in the last couple decades he actually released great American songbook album songs of all the standards

[@dougkydur9841]

Sorry I didn't see your comment before I replied with pretty much the same comment... A lot of those 'Standard' songs recorded by Rod were also duets with current pop artists which I thought was cool!

[@lindajane8962]

Linda Ronstadt did a couple of standards albums, too, with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra.

[@cmstand]

Loved the interview. I have watched several and he’s a funny guy. He recently released a new album that went to Number 1 in the UK (a first for someone age 80). He is currently touring and doing concerts to packed crowds. Really remarkable!

[@lawreence13]

You are everything. Dianna and Marvin......fantastic forgotten classic

[@jacquelinejacobs8653]

The standard "Begin the Begine" Jones sings to perfection.

[@seanellio]

Wilson Picket (aka "The Wicked Picket") had quite the career."Mustang Sally", The Land of 1000 Dances", "In the Midnight Hour" and so many more. His version of "Sugar, Sugar" just kills. If you can locate "Hard Times" the Tome Jones recorded for "Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues: Red, White, and Blues", you will go absolutely nuts.

[@dgraja22]

Definitely do Otis Redding “Sittin at the dock of the Bay” and Wilson Pickett. soul and r&b legends.

[@rhondamccloud9654]

Tom Jones has such an exciting history with the legends.

[@ladydiva295]

He's still got his welsh accent. There's lovely Tom...❤

[@jackies5481]

You did know the song, Amber. Whoa-a-whoa-a-whoa, what's new pussycat. And, I've recommended Wilson Pickett to you before. You never listen to me! Added note -- Frank was more for the older more established people at the time while Elvis thought they need to be more exciting and "new." Paul McCartney was also knighted. You should do that Elvis piece. It's pretty eye-opening about the kind of man he was.

[@gillian5005]

This was really enjoyable. Yes, please do more.

[@teresaboone7298]

I LOOOVE you two's relationship. Y'all are adorable together!❤🖤

[@Sometimes-even-lyrical]

@Rob Squad Reactions FYI: Tom has done a great rendition of the song "My Way" on his show. You can find it on KZbin. Tom is so talented and versatile. Sinatra was right that Tom has a great jazz voice, but Tom does love all genres of music and can really bring it with all kinds of songs. He especially loves Rock, R&B, Soul, and Blues. Still, you should listen to Tom do some jazz. I love his rendition of the famous standard "Autumn Leaves" on French TV in 1967. His version is wistful, yet sultry... with the feel of soft jazz. And he's sung on his show with the legendary jazz great, Ella Fitzgerald. By the way, the knighthood was for Tom's contribution to music. I guess you didn't know that there's another of your favorite artists who received the same honor from the Queen. Can you guess? Yes, that's right... Sir Barry Gibb! How about that, Jay!

[@carolacheson4392]

And also Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and many show business people.

[@mikeshaffer5844]

Wasn’t a fan of Tom until he got older. When he first came on the scene everything had one volume, but as he gained experience his vocal dynamics got better and better and better.

[@fayesouthall6604]

His son started managing him and told him to stop dying his hair. He then started to have hit records again.

[@poindexterjones206]

You were singing the right song (What's New Pussycat?) :)

[@Joy-qw3wm]

Sir Tom Jones.What a guy!! He`s still working ,he`s on the Voice here in the Uk His catalogue of music is amazing ,as are the people he`s worked with.Total legend ,and so nice:)

[@stevesuarez1903]

Tom was a judge on The Voice UK when he turned 80. Stevie Wonder wished him Happy Birthday on air.
