Tom Jones is the GOAT. The song was written by Lonnie Donegan, now passed, and Tom did a duet of the song with Lonnie's son on The Voice that is incredibly touching. Highly recommend giving it a watch!

Tom Jones is a Welsh singer who has one of the smoothest powerful voices around. And he was a showman too, in fact he was a big heart-throb with the ladies. He has so many hits such as "It's Not Unusual", "What's New Pussycat?", "Green, Green Grass of Home", "Delilah", "She's a Lady". He covers a lot of genres. He is still performing & is a coach on "The Voice" UK version. He also had a variety show from 69 - 71 & had some of the biggest music stars at the time.

@@dagmar.6954 By one dimensional we mean his voice is powerful with not much change. If you want a chameleon voice that changed multiple times? Look at elvis's diverse voice that was always morphing and changing. Listen to elvis's critically acclaimed studio recording of "it's now or never" 1960. You'll hear a transition from delicate shadings to smooth opera like power. But in the 50's, you'll hear the punk rocker screaming. And in 1961, the rich velvet vocals of "can't help falling in love" Then the raw soul of the legendary "if I can dream" and the 69 Memphis sessions. In 1971, "until it's time for you to go" Just a true chameleon voice.

Hey bro greetings from Wales 🏴 UK 🇬🇧 I, like Tom are born ‘n’ bred in Wales, one of the four countries that make up the United Kingdom and the smallest (population a mere 3 million), so I’m thrilled to see this reaction. At this time Tom was only about 18 months into his career and I guess if you say Tom Jones to a lot of Americans they might say “who?” But, say “Carlton’s Dance” they’d have a much better idea, this is because Carlton (Fresh Prince Of Bel Air) dances to Tom’s first hit record, It’s Not Unusual!! So this is 1967, Tom is now 82 and is touring the UK this summer (2023)!! And bro I do t know if you’ve reacted to Shirley Bassey on this channel but Shirley is another of Wales’ superstar exports having started her career around about the same time as Tom, us Welsh are proud of them both!! 🏴🇺🇸🇬🇧

The background to this song is that it was written by British singer/songwriter Lonnie Donegan and Jimmy Currie. Donegan recorded and released it in ‘62 where it didn’t garner any success and TJ has stated since that Lonnie approached him a few years later asking him to take a listen, Lonnnie felt that what his song was missing was somebody who could really SING it. And the rest as it were is history, Tom reached 2nd spot in the UK charts in 1967 but it didn’t fare as well stateside reaching just 49 on the BB100 🤔

My mother was a huge Tom fan, so I grew up with his voice. Tom is the GOAT and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise. He was John Farnhams idol and there are a few videos on youtube of them performing together. They also did a 10 show tour of Australia in about 2005ish I think, which I was fortunate enough to see, and released an album of said tour also, which I own and play often.

There is no way anyone could Ever do as much justice to this song as Tom does. The depth of his voice, the timbre and the emotion he conveys cannot be copied or topped. Tom is the G.O.A.T and at 80 years old his voice is still wonderful.

I heard a guy try it on The Voice where Sir Tom was a judge. The guy was pretty bad (in a bad way, not "BAD" as in "good"). Tom didn't turn and during the commentary after nobody turned, Tom said "This isn't a song from an opera." He really didn't like the guy doing that to his song. If you find it to watch, have something close by to barf into. 😂😂

Tom is known as "The Welsh Wailer". He comes from Wales/Cymru, known as "The Land Of Song," with the cultural emphasis on singing, music, poetry, performance etc. These are encouraged through the eisteddfords, the competitive festivals of music and poetry. Even the Welsh language is "sing-songy".The Welsh are especially known for their choirs.

I bought my parents Tom John's tickets the year my Step father was diagnosed with terminal cancer. I had grown up with watching them love each other so strong for so long, dancing to his music every night and falling in love each time they did.. I thought it gross at the time LOL. Until that day we found out. When I heard Tom was going to tour I immediately bought tickets and wrote to Mr Jones and his management. I got a reply about a month later, I don't know if it was from Tom himself but it was addressed from him to me. I still have the letter. He said, and it's true, that my step-father, Vic, looked like his twin and he'd love to meet him personally. So the concert came around and my parents were met at the venue door and taken backstage. They actually spent hours with Tom Jones backstage, he sang this song, acapella, whilst they danced and he paid for a beautiful suite at the Sydney Hilton for them for the weekend. Mr Tom Jones is nothing but a class act! A true gentleman with a massive heart! That was on Sun 3rd Dec, 1995. Sydney Entertainment Centre. He passed a year later, my mother, 6 years ago. He not only gave them such a wonderful time but me such sweet memories
