Just go to his YT channel, and say, "Eenie, Meenie, Minie, Mo..." and you won't be wrong. I would suggest that maybe you might want to start with his sections from the older years, and then go on from there, but...yeah..."Eenie, Meenie..."
His talent and voice is natural and pure! It´s so touching. HE got me 🥰Thursday I go to my first Tom Jones Concert, here in Germany. A incredible VOICE with 84 years now...

I was a voice teacher for over 40 years and I can tell you, if you can match pitch, you can be a better singer. Now, can anyone sound like Tom Jones? Not likely. A lot of it is god-given and he has a lot of power that many people don't have. He could have been an opera singer. But hey, we're glad he wasn't because a lot more people got to enjoy him! I saw him last year in concert and he's still amazing at 82! Look for clips on him in the British voice. Listen to the duet between him and Jennifer Hudson of It's A Man's World. Wow! Still has it!
you are spot on. Anyone can be taught how to be a better singer. Or like me a better guitar player but you have to be blessed by God to sing like Tom or play guitar like Django. it's beyond any teacher
Sir Tom is an absolute legend. I saw him a years ago at Foxwoods Casino and he was amazing. Old classics/New songs. His voice was incredible! He and Elvis were great friends. Sir Tom and Shirley Bassey are both from Wales and both can belt it out of the park! The ladies were crazy about Tom! ❤❤
I think you born with the instrument that is all the apparatus involved in singing. The vocal cords, their flexibility, the resonance chamber in your throat and face... So many variables
Very true! The Welsh have a reputation for being amazing singers with powerful voices. That's why Tom & Shirley Bassey are among my top fave singers of all time!!! ... They both still have that beautiful Welsh voice at over 80yo...!!! 👍🏽 👍🏽 👍🏽
He had a TV show, sang duets with his guests, many of the greats from that era: Janis Joplin, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, Stevie Wonder… all fantastic
Sir Tom Jones still sounds good...he turned 84 in June 2024. He is from Wales, United Kingdom and he has the great voice of a lot of the Welsh. Nobody sounds like Tom Jones. Check out "Delilah". There is a video of Tom, from The Voice, where he sings this song with Peter Lonnegan, the son of the man who wrote this song, Lonnie Donnegan.
I saw him in person in 1969 at the Greek theater in Los Angeles! I was with my two older sisters, and it was a sellout. And he was at the height of his early career. He came out on that stage and for an hour and a half saying every popular song he had done so far and every single one got a standing ovation for five minutes, it was happening! I can relive that like it was yesterday that’s how outstanding he is… His voice gets to your soul every single time no matter what he’s singing. I think my uncle who got us the tickets at a very last moment.💙💙💙
Thank you for your reaction! Tom Jones was HUGE back in the day. He had his own TV show. Women used to throw their panties at him on stage. Really. And he's still around. We all loved Tom Jones.
Tom Jones is a Welsh singer who has one of the smoothest powerful voices around. And he was a showman too, in fact he was a big heart-throb with the ladies. He has so many hits such as "It's Not Unusual", "Delilah", "What's New Pussycat?", "Green, Green Grass of Home", "She's a Lady" etc. He covers a lot of genres. He is still performing & is a coach on "The Voice" UK version. He also had a variety show from 69 - 71 & had some of the biggest music stars at the time.
You are born with the voice but you learn the technique. Sir Tom is in his 80s and still singing with power. He has worked with top vocal coaches all his career.
Tom Jones is from Wales. He was 27 years old in this video and still has that powerful voice today. He's around 82 and is a judge on The Voice UK. He and Jennifer Hudson have done some amazing duets. There are several videos of Tom singing on The Voice. Check out Tom and Janis Joplin singing together. He had a TV show and you're right about your wife. LOL Check out the video "Treat Her Right" from The Tom Jones Show. The theme song to the James Bond movie "Thunderball" was performed by Tom and it is one powerful piece of music.
@@katrinacash6393 Hi Katrina! You have a lovely name! I named my middle daughter Katrina, however she doesn’t like it and has used Katie since she was a teenager! I was reasonably sure of his age! Peace and Blessings to you and your family from Down Under!
One of the top male vocalists of all time, my mum was a bit obsessed (which was way out of character for her), but he has a magic power over the ladies that's for sure. Tom will always be on my playlist. Thanks for another great reaction, loving the diversity. ✌❤
One of the great pure vocal talents of our time, and a hell of an entertainer too. This is killer stuff for sure - great choice, and great reaction as always. Peace and love from Canada☮
There is a video of Sir Tom on The Voice UK, when the son of the man who wrote this song (Lonnie Donegan) auditioned. On the spot, they did a duet. Both great musicians, so able to just "jam".
His name was peter.his dad was a skiffle artist.tom Lonnie had passed and Tom's wife(childhood sweetheart) had passed a couple of years before. You could see the emotion in his eyes.
More Tom please, try for an eye opener Treat Her Right...a whole other level lol. True story my friend and I were propositioned by Tom when we were young housemaids in a Hotel when he toured Christchurch New Zealand in the early 90's. We were naive, locked ourselves in the supply cupboard outside his suite we were servicing and phoned for backup lol.
He is now Sir Tom Jones. He’s in his 80s and a judge on The Voice U.K. He can still singing and hitting those high notes. Please check out some more of him. Delilah, You don’t have to Take your Hat Off x
He was known as 'THE VOICE' in the UK. He can still sing like that now at 84 years and was touring regularly, with appearances in Las Vegas from 1967 to 2011.
Thank you for this and your utter appreciation of it. Tom Jones for us WELSH people is a national treasure, not England. We have many other Welsh treasures, Dame Shirley Bassey, Bryn Terfel. There are many more for Wales. We are considered here in Wales, as 'The Land Of Song' and for very good reason, All I can ask, is that you listen to who we as the Welsh actually are. x
Tom Jones had his own TV show in the late 60's and we weren't permitted to make a sound when he was on. My mother was so in love with him and instilled that love in me and my sister to this day. He was best friends with Elvis and they'd go to each other's shows when both were playing Las Vegas.
He's been a judge on all the voice uk series bar one when the bosses decided they wanted someone younger but it didn't work and ge was back the next year. A new series starts soon with will i am,sir tom, Leigh ann rimes,danny and tom from McFly. The crowd gets them to sing in-between auditions and they do a song together at the beginning of the series.the vioce uk has a yt channel. You may know him from it's not unusual the song carlton dances to on fresh prince of bel air.
Sir Tom Jones is from Wales. He is a judge on 'The Voice' UK and sang this song with the son of the composer who was Lonnie Donegan (a singer in his own right). He sounds just as good today as he did then and he is over 80. Another great singer from Wales is Shirley Bassey who sang 3 James Bond theme tunes. You should listen to 'Goldfinger' and 'Diamonds Are Forever'. She is approximately 87 now and still sounds as good.
Check out Sir Tom Jones singing (in his 80s) at the recent 80th Anniversary Remembrance Ceremony regarding the D-Day Landings. His voice is still amazing!
You need to see him on the Voice UK a couple of years ago where the son of the writer of this songs son was competing and Tom in his 80’s belted it out with him. I do believe he is still touring.
@@setonhillstudios we all have accents I’m from Bristol in the south west of the UK when I go to London it will be commented on and that’s just a hour and half by train lol
I had been losing my voice recently and I was sent to the Ear Nose and Throat doctor where they examined my vocal chords. She looked at them, and while they didn't find anything wrong, she said "you can't sing can you?". I said no, absolutely not. I don't have a powerful voice to begin with. I sound like a goat with throat cancer. She said, yeah, these vocal chords aren't going to let you sing. No amount of lessons could change that. At best, I would sound like a seagull with throat cancer. I forget exactly why but she said it's just the way my vocal folds are. It's the way I was born. So yes, I would say it's a God-given talent.
another great UK singer is Englebert Humperdinck Let the Heart aches Begin he had the same manager as Tom Jones also Gilbert O'Sullivan singing Alone again Naturally
Sir Tom Jones the Welsh singer has a God given talent. Wales is full of great singers and Tom is at the top of the tree. He still tours and sings and has an incredible gift/talent. No amount of singing lessons will get you to his world class level.
I heard somewhere that Delilah was no longer to be sung owing to the subject of violence on women. It might only be at rugby matches though. I used to sing it to myself when walking the dog in a quiet park in Hull. I was younger then but still couldn't sing for toffee.
Hi. New subscriber. Love the variety of your reactions and your true excitement. This song is special to me. It’s one of the first songs I sang when I started doing shows. My GF and I do shows tributing many artists and Tom Jones is one of them. I even posted my recording of this song on my channel. Again, love the channel!
@ thanks. Would love for you to hear it. If you have trouble finding the channel (there are a few Kr Entertainment), mine is me and my GF with blue background with music notes.
Tom was one of the greatest singers ever. Just type in Tom Jones duets on youtube and there's so many that are very entertaining, one of the best is opposite Janis Joplin
You can look up Britain got talent and look for Tom sings he is 83-84 now and still sounds just like this. His son manages his shows. Married his wife at like 18 and stayed with her till she passed a few years ago. It is rumored he slept with over 1000 women he was a ladies man. And yes he still tours somewhat. He doesnt do big concerts like stadiums but smaller more personal venues, is what i read.
This is a classical piece, but it also shows our Bryn Terfel with Andrea Bocelli. My late father loved this piece and I dedicate it to him. Please enjoy and get back to me with any thoughts you have.
Sir Tom Jones is still out there dropping panties in his 80s!! I often tell a joke that I'm so grateful to Tom he never came to my town back in these days and gave my mom the nod. I would've grown up without my mom bc she loved him back then. Learning about Tom as an adult, I can def see why. He has a lot of great stuff out there. Duets with the most talented people in the industry on his own TV show. For something wild, check out Tom singing, Treat Her Right, on his show. I don't think I see one guy in the audience, and for good reason. He goes crazy with the singing, dancing and kissing!! Absolute legend!!
TALENT ! No auto tone crap. He is still going strong. Sounds really great even now ! ❤ Back in the 70s He had a variety show. Kissing 💋 women and panties thrown ! 😅
You could check out a female equivalent from the same part of the world - Miss Shirley Bassey. She sang the themes for the Bond movies Goldfinger and Diamonds Are Forever.
It’s definitely God given, he’s one of the kindest people you’ll meet. This list doesn’t even touch the sides… ‘IT’S NOT UNUSUAL’ (1965) ‘WHAT’S NEWS PUSSYCAT’ (1965) ‘THUNDERBALL’ (1965) ‘GREEN GREEN GRASS OF HOME’ (1966) ‘DELILAH’ (1968) ‘SHE’S A LADY’ (1971) ‘KISS’ (1988) ‘IF I ONLY KNEW’ (1994) ‘BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE’ (1999) ‘SEXBOMB’ (2000) ‘MAMA TOLD ME NOT TO COME’ (2000) ‘STONED IN LOVE’ (2006)

Sir Tom started out singing in working mens clubs in the Welsh Valleys. He is pure talent & could sing the phone book & I will still buy it😍🥰
As a teenager, I never missed his show, here in the USA.

All the ladies back then fell in love with him. What a voice!
Elvis was a big Tom Jones fan and used to watch him in Vegas as often as he could. They became good friends.
Sir Tom has recently finished a European tour at the age of eighty three, and his voice is still as powerful as ever.
Tom is over 80 years old now and still sounds as good as he did back then.
Tom's first cry immediately after being born probably sounded great
I’m 78 and grew up with these awesome singers a great era. We danced to them too, oh boy!
Sir Tom is an absolute legend. I saw him a years ago at Foxwoods Casino and he was amazing. Old classics/New songs. His voice was incredible!

Yeah I can relate my sister's had a crush on him. At least his television show was on Late Night.lol
That’s awesome!
Tom must be using falsetto on those high notes but cant hear him slide in or out. Thats phenomenal.
He's been a judge on all the voice uk series bar one when the bosses decided they wanted someone younger but it didn't work and ge was back the next year.
A new series starts soon with will i am,sir tom, Leigh ann rimes,danny and tom from McFly.

Sir Tom Jones the Welsh singer has a God given talent. Wales is full of great singers and Tom is at the top of the tree.
He still tours and sings and has an incredible gift/talent. No amount of singing lessons will get you to his world class level.
Tom has a one in a million or more voice. He could have sung opera.
Tom Jones is now turned 80yrs of age and he still sings brilliantly !!! Try Delilah, or the green, green grass of home.
I heard somewhere that Delilah was no longer to be sung owing to the subject of violence on women. It might only be at rugby matches though. I used to sing it to myself when walking the dog in a quiet park in Hull. I was younger then but still couldn't sing for toffee.
I have seen/listened to Delilah being reacted to on UA-cam previously and, not that long ago ( weeks)
Check out Tom and his idol Wilson Picket duet with Midnight Hour on the Tom Jones Tv varietyshow.. Tom says he wanted to sound like Wilson.

I bet that’s killer!
You can look up Britain got talent and look for Tom sings he is 83-84 now and still sounds just like this. His son manages his shows. Married his wife at like 18 and stayed with her till she passed a few years ago. It is rumored he slept with over 1000 women he was a ladies man. And yes he still tours somewhat. He doesnt do big concerts like stadiums but smaller more personal venues, is what i read.
Another great song by Tom is “I who have nothing”
This is a classical piece, but it also shows our Bryn Terfel with Andrea Bocelli. My late father loved this piece and I dedicate it to him. Please enjoy and get back to me with any thoughts you have.
Sir Tom Jones is still out there dropping panties in his 80s!! I often tell a joke that I'm so grateful to Tom he never came to my town back in these days and gave my mom the nod. I would've grown up without my mom bc she loved him back then. Learning about Tom as an adult, I can def see why. He has a lot of great stuff out there. Duets with the most talented people in the industry on his own TV show. For something wild, check out Tom singing, Treat Her Right, on his show. I don't think I see one guy in the audience, and for good reason. He goes crazy with the singing, dancing and kissing!! Absolute legend!!
🤣 he’s incredible!
I didn’t start singing till my 40’s. I will never be able to sing a 10th if what he’s got. I am a useful,chorus voice, not matter what I do.
Sir Toms now 83 still sounds great he's a long time judge on the British Voice check out his Duets on the show as a judge outstanding
Tom Jones ain't playing no games.
Not at all!
TALENT ! No auto tone crap. He is still going strong. Sounds really great even now ! ❤ Back in the 70s He had a variety show. Kissing 💋 women and panties thrown ! 😅
You Can Leave Your Hat On, please!!!!
You could check out a female equivalent from the same part of the world - Miss Shirley Bassey. She sang the themes for the Bond movies Goldfinger and Diamonds Are Forever.
Sweet! Thanks for the suggestion
