Surrounded by time

[@daisyq3418]

I'm Growing Old is my favorite. 💜 Growing old is a privilege and a challenge. I grew old too (now 65), but my best friend is a little Hawaiian lady who is 87. She has great positive Energy which inspires me. Your energy and outlook inspires me, too! I almost got to see you perform in San Jose, but it was cancelled, and I was so heartbroken. Hopefully, I WILL get to see/hear you perform before one of us passes away. 😊 I luv every song you've ever sung, but most of all, 'What's New, Pussycat", which I scream-sing in my truck while I drive the lonely highway to town in Texas, where I live. Keep growing old, Mr. Tom Jones! This world needs You! 💗💗💗

Gosh Janis..one of a kind, along with a few others who sing..you are missed.

One of the best Duets ever 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@pbohearn]

Tom Jones had an abundance of sexual chemistry, and as generous in his giving. I’m sure that Pearl loved the vibe and his blue eyes.I wonder when they got off the stage who turned to the other and said, “ let’s go f....:” lolol

The musicians in this performance unbelievably good. That was perfect music.

[@kennycab3374]

Great band and two beautiful soulful singers with just a couple plain mics doing this. Wowser!

[@GeointelCL]

This emblematic and amazing live duet of Tom Jones and Janis Joplin in "This Is Tom Jones" TV show, was brodcasted December 9th of 1969 at ITV studios, London. It has been widely considered one of the most memorable moments in the history of television and also as a symbolic closing of the 60s music .

[@KarlaElaine100]

There should be a televised special honoring Sir Tom Jones…and showing ALL of the amazing artists he has worked with over the years! Do it while he’s still alive to enjoy it!

This is real music. No autotune and pure talent. Greetings from Rio de Janeiro Brazil

[@pawelpap9]

They are auto tuning themselves. No computer processing required.

[@markuse3472]

They are not playing instruments. She's hopping out of beat at times. "pure" is subject to bias. Many singers use auto tune because they like the sound, not because they need it (except rap and reggaeton and such nonsense music).

[@liborsionko]

They are simulating black soul singers so in that regard there is a degree of inauthenticity.

[@bellabunnell3174]

Janis was a soul singer. ​@@liborsionko

Janis is just electric. I miss her. Tom is a powerhouse as usual. Just wow! ❤❤

Otis Retting was WAY better than Tom Jones - barely in the same universe. An argument in the R&B category for James Brown also...

That's because we're becoming the 'old people' now ;)

I thought the same also a youngin in the 70's, my mother who is 80 now loved both Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdick..lol. Though I always liked them both, they have a new place in my ❤.

Her challenge was her everyday singing voice.
