Happy New Year @Jamel_AKA_Jamal I'm glad you decided to trust all of us who suggested this performance and give it a listen/look. It's awesome to see Janis singing with someone who can match her intensity.

Janis Joplin had the gift of radiating Pure Joy when she sang.

[@idaknott3310]

Mighta been the only time she felt that kind of joy! With a little help from her friend.

Exactly the only thing that would make it better would be having Jimi Hendrix play guitar with them

[@josh-vee]

I never would have thought I'd ever see Tom Jones being the one who was trying to keep up. That Janis had some pipes.

[@fewwiggle]

He almost looked intimidated by her, and certainly couldn't match her musical "soul"

[@celt67]

The song was in the female key. Had TJ been singing it alone, it would have been a few octaves lower to suit the male voice.

[@WhiteCamry]

Hence all that whistlin'. He knew he'd met his better.

[@ronnienose8608]

@@WhiteCamry I think he did a pretty good job vocally. Janis was supposedly shocked at how good Tom was, dismissed him because of his image but it was a different story when she sang with him, she had no idea Tom could scream.

[@MrClobbertime]

He looked like he was having fun.

[@sentimentalelephantsamusic9730]

What I love most about this is that they are both clearly having the time of their lives. Tom seems so psyched to be performing with Janis, and she is just loving getting to sing with him.

[@christianzafiroglu6705]

Tom Jones gave Janis Joplin what she always needed; a great backing band. Joplin worked best with equally talented people. Big Brother, while solid, weren’t on her level. This band is hot, dead in her zone. And Tom complements and pushes her to new levels. She gave her all on this. Her gratitude radiates.

[@diannag660]

Not Tom's band; this was Janis' "Full Tilt Boogie" band; you can see them on the Ed Sullivan gig.

[@richardmyers1506]

When Janis left Big Brother she burnt many bridges. Even the entertainment media we're less than supportive. It wasn't exactly a win-win for Janis, but she endured, well, at least until her most untimely repose.

[@phoenixmichaels]

That's what happens when you put two legends on a stage together. Magic.

[@irishgrl]

Tom Jones was Soulful, Janis was Bluesy....and this duet was perfection! Happy 2021!

[@tigristhelynx7224]

You don't usually see this kind of charged spirit onstage between two vocalists very often, usually performers give off "we were forced to be together" vibes and they stick to their own separate part. But here Janis is being her effervescent self, filling in all the silence while Tom tries so hard to follow her lead. She's really showing him how it's done! It's great to see them both having a blast. Janis even started grinding on the dance floor with him! The energy between them is wonderful.

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

Tom is often called the British Elvis (And the two were good friends) - he was a real sex symbol back in the day and had a string of big hits. Tom and Janis together... well, you could run the National Grid off their combined energy. If you want to hear more of Tom, try "It's not unusual".
