TOM JONES- ITS NOT UNUSAL - REACTION VIDEO!

[@stephenhanft1226]

"It's Not Unusual" was Tom Jones breakthrough hit in 1965 that started his legendary music career. This performance of that song on The Ed Sullivan Show was the shortened version. There are live performances of Tom Jones performing that song in its entirety. Another more up-tempo song from Tom Jones that I think you will enjoy is "She's A Lady." It was his highest-charting song on the pop charts. Other great songs that really showcase Tom Jones great voice are "Delilah" and "Love Me Tonight" . He's now 80 years old and is still giving top-notch singing performances.

[@lijohns57]

Yes this was shortened bec Ed Sullivan had very strict time limits for performances, and if a performer didn't stick to the time limits they were never asked back to the show

[@xtiancolquhoun7410]

This guy is the king of voice for sure, if you wanna see him at his peak best you should check out his version of I who have nothing, 1974 version was his best, but he does the song justice even earlier as well.

[@ElliotNesterman]

Sir Tom has been a judge on the UK version of The Voice several times. On the show in 2018 the other judges got him to sing "It's Not Unusual." He's still got it, and the crowd still loves him. In the UK he's considered a national treasure. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHqtoYOAhdekrZo

[@billmitchell7731]

Tom was a great singer. Him and Elvis was freinds with Tom. They said Elvis showed up at one of Tom's shows. And everyone stopped watching Tom and started going crazy when Elvis showed up. I heard Elvis wouldn't go to other performers shows because of this.

[@troymclain9441]

Tom Jones and Elvis Presley were pretty good friends

[@robertbairt928]

All that movement had the Ladies tossing thier undies onto the stage, was it a gimmick?

[@paulconnett3654]

Elvis respected Tom Jones!!

[@leahbackman7669]

Try She's A Lady, Pussy Cat, Delilah. Great songs. He is a judge on Britains got talent and still going strong. He sang on there and still sounds amazing!

@@Stormbrood Lol!

[@rickcooley837]

Thanks Dani for doing this one!!

[@normlee6566]

The Ed Sullivan show was very, very tight on time with guest acts since there were so many in his variety hour, so some had to perform abbreviated versions of their new hits. Even the Beatles and Elvis got squeezed on time. (To be honest, It's Not Unusual only has a 2:08 runtime). Still, performers knew they had been anointed as legit stars if Sullivan smiled during their performances or briefly interviewed them on stage afterwards. But here is a longer performance of that song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqTVfouZo8dsiLM

[@thomaschristopher8593]

Doc, I can't stop singing "What's new, Pussycat" "Sounds like you've got Tom Jones Syndrome" "is it common?" "it's not unusual"

[@billkacvinsky988]

Ed Sullivan show always cut song's length. Had a large bevy of acts every Sunday. Suggest you find youtube clips of the Tom Jones show. Full 3:30-4:00 minute songs with much more intense dancing. Enjoy. P.S. here's a link to Carlton/Tom Jones scrne (Fresh Prince...) kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJKldXiVbal_l8k

[@camerontata1808]

"See Saw" , Live Performance , Just Great

[@maxwellharris507]

My first exposure to Tom Jones was the theme of the Bond film "Thunderball", he apparently passed out from singing it

[@mgonzales56]

The reason it was so short is because it was the first song of two that he sang, so he sang a short version of "It's Not Unusual" then he sang another song. Ed Sullivan would try to cram in as much as he could into his one hour show.

[@kishka7winecountry]

Dani - You must check out Voice UK - Tom Jones is one of the judges! He often does impromptu singing and his voice is MARVELOUS!

[@timmo491]

'Welcome back" ..touches back.

[@jjefferyworboys8138]

Tom Jones looked to be really enjoying himself. Incredible voice.

Please play Tom Jones and Wilson Pickett Melody singing together. Thank you so very much. And also Tom Jones and Little Richard performing together. Another one of my favorites. Once again, I thank you. Have a blessed day and a very Merry Christmas.

In case u didn't know, elvis & tom jones were very good friends they Both recorded ILL NEVER FALL IN LOVE AGAIN

[@newlenmedia]

LOL! Songs back at that time were rarely over 3 minutes long.

[@georgeisaak5321]

Hi Dani ! To this very show , he is singing another song as well and literally girls from the audience jumped on him , to hug him , kiss him ...they were going crazy for him ! The problem is that he didn't announced openly he was married ...wink wink , because his manager knew his sexappeal was the ticket to success for Tom and told him to keep his private life ...really , really private . Anyway the guy had a gift from God , that voice !

[@neilcarpenter2669]

You mentioned Elvis well he was a bit obsessed with Tom Jones, I know people would think it was the other way around but I think he had a bit of a man crush on Tom. Tom Jones when he was called Tommy Scott and his band the senators used to play in what later became my local pub , it was near where my late Grandfather used to live so it was pretty handy for me as a young man.

[@Jackle61]

Back in those days they tried, or almost had to keep the songs less than 3 minutes so they could get more songs per hour on the radio. There are some longer ones out there if you look around. Usually live performances.

[@shelby_smithkc21]

Love those moves! 💃🕺🏻🔥🙌💯 Check out some of his live performances on his TV Show “This is Tom Jones.” There’s some fun clips of him gettin’ down! “See Saw,” “Bony Moronie,” “Land of 1000 Dances,” “Treat Her Right,” “Soul Man,” “What’d I Say,” “Johnny B Goode...” to name a few! 😉

Burning down the house -The Cardigans and Tom Jones is worth a watch-Tom hamming it up big time

[@sheilajenkins8265]

He didn’t have to emulate Elvis. Elvis said he got his moves off Tom. I think they each had their own unique style but Tom’s vocals and charisma together put him in a league of his own. Just my opinion and I am a huge Elvis fan

[@mikek5958]

It was so short because Ed Sullivan had a "really big shoooeew" and there wasn't enough time for the full song.

[@timmellin2815]

It's a very short song in any version. You need to review his most famous song: "Help Yourself." The remix of the studio version sounds so great on headphones (I'm going to program it as part of pre game shoot around music mix for HS girls' basketball.) But, also try to get a copy of a live version, since you like his in person movement and affect.

[@MrRizzo1961]

[@markbanner6473]

@@robertsteinmiller7503 Both really. Just saying might be best not to completely judge Tom's dancing until you've seen more songs that involve his moves. Its not Unusual is too short. Mind you many songs were very short back in those days. That's just how it was!

[@DaniAtkinson]

I know - I just LOVE Elvis so much, it was more of a joke --but I shouldn't say that. and I will definitely watch more Tom and I thought his moves were really adorable -- I'm sure I will enjoy even more when I see more material!

[@markbanner6473]

@@DaniAtkinson No worries. At least you love a true genuine legend. Too many people get called a legend these days! And most of them aren't good enough to be called that. Not even close. I also think the fact they thought each other were great shows you how GREAT they both were. Singers and people of their stature aren't going to call other people great unless it is truly warranted!
