Listen to his delivery on the old standard "Autumn Leaves" in 1965... with his voice all soft, smoky, and wistful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eX-0pYiCbd1glZo Tom can do just about every style, every genre. He could have gone into opera, but he didn't want to be limited. His roots are in R&B, Gospel, Soul, and Rock & Roll, but he is fearless. Check out "If I Only Knew" for Tom's foray into some rap in 1994: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3TLhJmjpaeJack Another performance to hear is one he did in the French Quarter in New Orleans in 2011 for a TV special with Hugh Laurie. Hugh played the piano, there was a small band and some backup singers in this small venue, and Tom sang "Baby, Please Make A Change": kzbin.info/www/bejne/nH62qXmZos6BfcU Plus, don't miss Tom's impromptu 2021 performance of "Cry To Me" on The Voice UK where he's a judge and coach.

"The Green Green Grass of Home" would bring tears to your eyes. Tom Jones was indeed very big. And it's worth considering that perhaps singers at the time were possibly better than some singers now because they had to rely on their own voices and charisma to pull off a performance. They worked harder and couldn't fall back on lip-syncing, autotune, backup dancers, pyrotechnics or other distractions. They could be alone on stage and mesmerize audiences. Bob Dylan performing at the Royal Albert in London from the film "Don't Look Back" had that gift. Not such a classic voice, but so compelling.

[@royalway12]

No one would ever confuse Dylan with great vocals. But Dylan is the story teller if there ever was one. And one of the greatest lyricist of all time. His Desire album has no weak tracks.

If you watch some of Tom's previous concerts from the 60's & 70's, you'll see the front of the stage covered with ladies panties, bras, and hotel room keys that the audience had tossed to him - LOL!

They refused to play it so some of the school orchestra kids played it anyway and we all sang along. They kept trying until I left school becase 'it was inappropriate' but we always found a way.

Tom is from Wales, and the Welsh are famous for their beautiful singing. He certainly proves that theory. The other thing about Tom that I think is interesting is that his voice is very little changed from when he hit the scene in the mid 60s, to where he is now in the year 2021. In that he is very like Steve Tyler who sounds the same today as when he began his career.

What a voice, just a magnificent singer. My all time favourite male singer. I could listen to Tom Jones all day everyday... Glad you guys discovered him...at last !! Better late than never.

[@janetbishop4946]

He is still alive and singing just as great!!! He's on The Voice-Britain. Just amazing!! Thank you for listening - so glad you loved it!

[@Lala_B]

He was 24 when this song hit for him. And fifty years later, his voice still sounds this good. Check out his KZbin videos where he’s singing on The Voice!

[@tutuschild1]

Sir Tom is 80 still married to his high school sweetheart and has sold more than 180 million albums. He was The sex symbol of the 70s. His hip action is legendary. Wow I'm his age bless to see him in-person. Watch The Voice British and he still sings likes an angel SEXY

[@61JWolf]

No disrespect intended but, while Tom Jones is still pleasant to listen to, he no longer has nearly the range that had as a young man.

[@andrewreaney]

He was born in 1940 so that would make him 27 in 1967.

@@tutuschild1 Welshman. Cymru am Byth.

[@lorraine1722]

@@tutuschild1 Unfortunately his wife Linda passed away. He may have been married to her for all those years but was hardly faithful. My aunt loved him. When I was about 17-18 she, my mom, my two cousins & me went to see him in Atlantic City. She brought an ivory necklace for him & asked my younger cousin (a minor) to hand it to him on-stage. After the show was over, one of his flunkies approached my cousin on Tom's behalf & asked her to join them....someone would bring her home in the morning. Needless to say that didn't happen. His wife was probably relegated to being "Mrs Tom Jones" while he was out doing his thing.

Being Welsh myself and being born on the girl this came out I was raised on that pure welsh voice, he has marvelled all of us here over the years. He is one of our national treasures. Xx

His cover of "The Green Green Grass of home" is absolutely fantastic. Tom comes from the "land of song" Wales. He also loves the fact that Elvis Presley loved his voice.

[@StephBer1]

I still shed a tear listening to that song. I listened to it for years as a homesick song until I was late teens and "lay me 'neath" clanged into my brain. I never really listened to the lyrics. It made it all the more poignant.

Did you check the comments too see if 20 - 50 people had already left this comment? Because I see this same sentiment commented on every reaction video to an old song by people under like 40 and it's quite bizarre how unoriginal it comes across. The worst part is it often has the phrase "And remember", or even worse "What you kids don't understand is," which is hilarious, do you really think anyone does think they had autotune in the 60s??

[@gailwall1585]

I think that Tom's best performance was his song "I who have nothing" when he performed it on his show in the 1960's I believe. I've viewed other youtube reactions to this song and everyone is beyond words for his performance. He had and still has one of the most awesome male voices I have ever heard, especially when he sings this song. I know it will blow you away too!

[@dianebarrieau9826]

Amber: "There's a word for this kind of singer." The word you're looking for is "crooner." Other notable examples include Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby.

[@forsakenjones4695]

Tom Jones is not a crooner. Never was.

[@stormy8207]

No. He is not a crooner by any means. He has absolute control of his voice.

[@jald910]

Agree. Not a crooner. The word started in the late 1920’s/early 30’s when electric recording and microphones enabled singers to sing softly and tenderly. When they sang without amplification and recorded into a horn it required more power. Tom is a belter.

[@davewildermuth7519]

For the record, I agree with all of you; Tom Jones isn't a crooner. A big, bombastic number like "It's Not Unusual" would have been a more representative sample of his work. But it is still the word Amber was looking for.

[@unrulyjulie4382]

He's more of a "belter" than a "crooner".
