Tom Jones, one of the best singers of all time. Icon.

He was holding back too. Powerful voice!

Tom Jones had a TV Variety Show and the network had to keep the camera above the waist because he had some get hip action dancing!! WOW!! His voice is still phenomenal. ❤

[@traciemack6168]

​@nancyjohnson2070 That's right, it was a great show. My mother and her friend used to hide out with us in the kids bedroom and watch him on a little bitty black and white TV while the dad's watched sports in the living room. Both Mama's would nearly swoon when he sang. TJ has many songs I love, but my fave is probably Take a Letter Maria. You should check him out Sebs.

Tom Jones was a Welsh coal miner whose voice was discovered in the early '60's, and he became an iconic singer on both sides of the Atlantic. He had a very long and illustrious career, with many hits singles, and was one of those male sex symbols, like Elvis, where women would throw their panties at him from the audience. He's had some fun collabs over the years, too. His style was more traditional, not rock or folk, but more pop.

[@120160bday]

Wow, Tom Jones with Mark Knopfler playing! Tom Jones has a great catalog!

[@iraedwin]

That was sooo funny when you heard Tom's voice then wondered who he was! Cracked me up. Tom had such an iconic voice and he was extremely dominate when I was growing up. Everyone loved him. Glad you appreciated his voice! And he's getting better with age. Unbelievable.

[@tinaronzoni5613]

I have loved Tom Jones since I was young, watching his variety show. Now at 84, he is still touring and still sounds amazing.

[@surlechapeau]

He played the Beacon Theater in NYC last night!!! I see he sang 18 songs, followed by a 3 song encore. The encore: One Hell of a Life(Katell Keineg cover), Strange Things Happening Every Day(Sister Rosetta Tharpe cover), Johnny B. Goode(Chuck Berry cover).

Sir Tom Jones has been singing with his beautiful voice since I was a little girl and I’m 67 now. The man can still sing with that full and fruitful voice today, he is amazing. I love the Green green grass of home and What’s up Pussycat?, Delilah and so many more; you should check him out, out.

[@911scTarga]

Tom Jones was a contemporary of Elvis Presley. Some say he was the UK's answer to the King. They met several times. I am pretty sure if Elvis was around to day, he would give Sir Tom massive respect. Oh wait. I just searched youtube for Tom Jones with Elvis Presley. I got Elvis Presley Tom Jones Duet I'll never fall in Love again. Mind. Blown.

The best singer, and the best guitarist, of the last 50 years, that's who. Watch Tom Jones, about 30 years before this -5:44 in black and white on the Dusty springfield show, singing I'm Never Going to Fall in Love Again -live, with an orchestra, no autotune -it will take your breath away.

[@johnpbh]

HAHAHA... "Who is THIS..?" Love it Seb... THAT is Tom Jones, the Welsh Wizard. Who had his first hit in 1965....!!!! Tom is a real R&B legend... one of those wihite guys that can actually sing the blues. Tom is still going, still singing and one of the judges on The Voice..!! That is why I clicked on the video... to see the two of them together... !! Absolutely brilliant.

Man, I'm so happy you reacted to this song. Thank you Steve G for the recommendation. The guitar work is astonishingly good. When you said "who's this guy", referring to Tom Jones, I feared the comments section may go nuts. Tom Jones is a pretty big deal, at least in the UK. Personally, I've never been a massive fan of his work, but there's no disputing his pipes. He can sing! Mark Knopfler is my hero, always has been. I grew up listening to Dire Straits. I loved when you reacted to the Alchemy version of Sultans of Swing, and would absolutely love to see your reaction to the Alchemy version of Telegraph Road. In my humble opinion, it's a masterpiece of song writing, guitar playing and piano. Whatever you decide to react to, I hope you continue on your Dire Straits / Mark Knopfler journey. Much love to you and your family man, and I hope you can justify that Les Paul one day soon ♥

I've always enjoyed hearing Mark Knopfler play, but seeing the title with Tom Jones and him together really got my attention. Tom Jones was huge back in the 70s. My memory of him was kind of unique. I graduated high school in 1976 from Tehran American School (yeah, that Tehran). Our bus ride home everyday was at least an hour. Our bus driver had an 8 track tape player and he had a Tom Jones greatest hits tape that he would play almost everyday. As much as I heard it, I never got tired of his voice, it's probably the most distinctive voice that I've ever heard. I love your channel, you never disappoint and it's fun to see discover the music I grew up with. Continue your journey.

[@lotusladylotus6159]

The guitar is akin to a natural extension of Mark's body... He is best known for his unique guitar-plucking style, his amazing tone and his unique phrasing, which contribute to his extraordinary ability to elicit nuanced emotions through his guitar, usually producing a visceral impact on the listener. In addition to all of that, Mark is actually left handed, but is playing guitar with his right, whilst making it all look so easy! If you want to really see the breathtaking musicianship of both Mark and Dire Straits, and the kind of epic musical masterpiece they could collectively produce, you have to treat yourself to their performance of "Telegraph Road" from the Alchemy Live concert. Other different but spectacular examples of Mark's talent are also on display in "Once Upon a Time in the West" and "Private Investigation," also from Alchemy Live.

[@avanoosterhout8397]

Sorry, I know how many reactors actually weren't in touch with music in a broader sense for most of there lives. Still, I had to laugh when Seb went "WHO IS THIS?" Sir Tom Jones. Legend in the world, God in Wales. First record contract in 1964. First hit in 1965 and with many many more to follow. After his career slowed down during the seventies, he showed a real sense of 'now' when he scored a big hit in 1988 with a cover of Kiss (Prince) together with The Art Of Noise. More very contemporary collaborations were to follow. Amazing career. Nice bloke.
