Me too Denise. Somebody wrote a comment on that video saying "I'll have what Tom McGuiness is having!!", and watching Tom playing, I can see what they mean. It's great to see a performer who really loves what they're doing - and he confirmed that in this interview!
Why ? Because he was a middle class nice boy that went to Oxford. He didn’t have the dick or balls to take it any further like Steve Marriot, Terry Reid or Robert Plant . His chums at the BBC keep giving him air space despite the fact that it’s nearly 60 yrs since he was briefly mainsteam. He loves the limelight .
Two of the real gentlemen of the pop world. Saw Paul Jones and the Bluesband live in Guildford Civic Hall in around 1981. It was a great gig, and one of only two I have ever seen where the audience started off lukewarm but were whipped into excitement by the group and their songs. Paul's harmonica playing was just superb. Out of interest, the other gig where a group whipped life into a lacklustre audience was the Boomtown Rats a year or two earlier, at the Croydon Greyhound.
They both still look great and Paul hasn't changed at all! Paul Jones, Allan Clarke, Steve Winwood, Eric Burdon and Chris Farlowe were my favourite British voices of the 1960s. Love Tom's accent.
Paul Jones is my favorite singer of the British acts that came across the ocean to the USA in '60s. I am glad he set the record straight about the Exciters, a terrific group from Jamaica, Queens in New York City, doing the original version of "Do Wah Diddy..." It is great seeing him in this video.
Been a "fan" since the 60s. He's wearing a lot better than me and like a fine wine his voice has improved as the years have passed. Keep up the GOOD work (and the music) Paul!!! Come back to Lytham ASAP please. Maralyn
It’s amazing how much Manfred Manns new lead singer Michael dABO looked like Paul Jones. The band didn’t seem to miss a beat as The Mighty Quinn reached No 1 in 1968 with Michael DABO on lead vocals just like Pretty Flamingo reached no1 in 1967 with Paul Jones on leads.
I was looking aback at some of Paul's earlier performances. His voice has a great cut through in the mix. At a time when the mix was harder and less subtle (partly because the microphones weren't so responsive) his voice always sounds strong and clean - I envy that sound. Plus Paul had a great ear for new sounds and new songs. Who would think that we'd still be hearing Do Wah diddy today and digging it just as much.
It was a good era, but we didn't realise it at the time, we just lived our lives. It's only now, I look back and think, 'Yes, it was a really good period of History'. In 40 years time, no doubt people will reflect on this little chunk of time and think only of the good times. We forget the bad times. The secret is to enjoy life and try and make the best of any situation life throws at you.
I took my 10 year old son to see the Manfreds in concert, because he liked a tape of Manfred Man's greatest hits I played in the car, he was the youngest there and got to shake Paul Jones and Mike D, Abos hand and got their autographs, he loved it
MM was probably the 60s group with the strongest health ever. Only one member (Jack Bruce) is dead 50 years later. Others are going strong and Manfred himself his rocking hard.
After seeing Manfred Mann on Shin-dig as a kid we all bought turtle neck shirts the next day. Paul Jones is the greatest! First record I ever bought. Very good drumming on that debut album as well. Proof that you only need that "one" iconic hit song to go to the bank once in a while. God Bless these guys. They deserve it all.
Of all the reasons there are to like Paul Jones' singing, I think the main one is that he didn't try to sound American. He, and later Manfred Mann singers, injected a little bit of England into their music
The music coming out of England in the second half of the sixties was just brilliant! Here in Ireland we looked to the English scene for great catchy creative music. The music today pales in comparison!!
No he wasn't, the original bassist for Manfred Mann was Dave Richmond. He was replaced by Tom McGuiness, who switched to bass because they already had a guitarist in Mike Vickers. When Mike Vickers left in 65, Tom McGuiness switched back to guitar and the bass position was briefly taken by Jack Bruce. Voormann became bassist in 66.
Paul is the most underrated vocalist of the british Invasion.
CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED
Underrated by who? People like you that aren't paying attention?
Also Steve Ellis from Love Affair terribly underrated like Paul Jones.
@@buddyvilla7393 Could not agree more
Thank you Paul Jones for your contribution to pop and blues. Fabulous!!!!
Paul. such a lovely guy, great singer and charismatic frontman. Although he's 72-73 here, look about 50 odd.
I am amazed how good Paul looks. He has aged so well. Wow.
Lovely tom always smiling. I love, My name is jack video.

Met Tom and Paul after a Manfred’s gig in Poole a number of years ago. Also met Mike D’Abo. Total gentlemen through and through.
Paul Jones!! What a voice! How he didnt become bigger that he did is beyond me! Saw him live quite a few times!! Great!! x

I used o see them every week at the Marquee Club, Wardour Street.. in the 60s.. fab !
He was big enough to star in a movie, "Privilege."
@Ayaan Gannon glad to hear your gf is into turning tricks.
@@stechriswillgil3686 Yeah, Terry Reid got REALLY rich and famous.
I was Paul's dancing partner when we were members of CYMA, a joy of a man who would sit on Southsea common to ensure I would pass my French exams.

i realize it is kinda randomly asking but do anyone know of a good website to watch newly released movies online ?
They both still look great and Paul hasn't changed at all! Paul Jones, Allan Clarke, Steve Winwood, Eric Burdon and Chris Farlowe were my favourite British voices of the 1960s. Love Tom's accent.
Man or should I say Manfred Mann, Paul Jones looks so hot! Time has not aged him much. His voice and tall stature are fixated in my memories.
Paul looks fantastic.
Obviously taken great care of himself.

Great to hear Sense Spoken by these two 60s Greats,alway like these,always will.
both paul and tom look great..excellent mouth harp and guitarist...and great fun!
Dunno about "mouth harp", and I play the bloody thing.
Superb memories! Paul looks great!
Paul does look great doesn't he. Amazing in fact. Hardly changed at all.
Been a "fan" since the 60s. He's wearing a lot better than me and like a fine wine his voice has improved as the years have passed. Keep up the GOOD work (and the music) Paul!!! Come back to Lytham ASAP please. Maralyn
PAUL JONES WAS MY FAVORIT IN 1968, GREAT SONG "PRIVILEGE"!
I really miss Paul Jones Blues Show on R2 at 7 o'clock Monday nights.
Me too!
I love these guys!!!!
It’s amazing how much Manfred Manns new lead singer Michael dABO looked like Paul Jones. The band didn’t seem to miss a beat as The Mighty Quinn reached No 1 in 1968 with Michael DABO on lead vocals just like Pretty Flamingo reached no1 in 1967 with Paul Jones on leads.
Liked this interview really loved Manfred Man especially Paul Jones saw him live in Melbourne many years ago he was great x
All the retro shows are brilliant
I've been a bad, bad boy : )

Without doubt, one of the best bands of the sixties.
agreed, loved the Manfreds - still do!
Great song! Great band! Great memories! 🎼🎼🎼🎸🎸🎸
Seen them live twice now seen Paul Jones 5 times :) always a amazing memorable night!
Wow so good 👍👍👍 thank you
born in 1976 i would build myself a time machine if i could and go back to that era

It would be a very busy time machine, mate : )
Awesome band wow!!! One of my favorite english groups Do wa didy

Tell that to the Stones with their habits abuse.
@Skankhunt42 all the british bands of the 60s were great. Fresh original good players good voices
paul jones was so handsome i loved him and he looked so much like my husband back then when he was my boyfriend
Paul was your boyfriend?
Thing is , he just looks about 20 years older!
After seeing Manfred Mann on Shin-dig as a kid we all bought turtle neck shirts the next day. Paul Jones is the greatest! First record I ever bought. Very good drumming on that debut album as well.

Awesome brilliant singers ❤❤thanks for this song awesome love you Paul Jones brilliant singer Tom a 👍 lovely man 🚹 fab Group thanks

They look much fresher than the Stones
Great to see.
looks very good for his age,great group,
Not to forget Paul Jones' greatest song ever: the privilege.

Had a poster on my wall .
I had a friend who went out with him and she said he always picked her up in his mini with big cushionie dice dangling off his front view mirror...LOL
Pretty Flamingo, Fox on the Run...
Klaus Voorman was the original bassist for Manfred Mann
No he wasn't, the original bassist for Manfred Mann was Dave Richmond. He was replaced by Tom McGuiness, who switched to bass because they already had a guitarist in Mike Vickers. When Mike Vickers left in 65, Tom McGuiness switched back to guitar and the bass position was briefly taken by Jack Bruce. Voormann became bassist in 66.
Don't worry I'll make sure you have more generations guys... Pretty Flamingo
Tom was really stoned in that Mighty Quinn video.
Funny .......👍😏
Stay lucky George..
Paul looks a little like Harrison Ford.
"Diddy Wah Diddy" is an old blues term. What it means I don't have a clue.
A "diddy" is a tit, or at least it is in Scotland (where the blues fight the greens).
If you listen to show the writer of sing says that it means I never need to work again.
Beat the Teacher
Scramble tittle
Interviewers, what a waste of space
Neither had a clue who Manfred Mann (Manfreds) are, they made sound like they were one hit wonders.
So banal when ageing musicians say "what was i thinking?" when asked about their appearance back in the day.
