He was a miner from a small welsh town that used to sing for his friends. He is now 'Sir' Tom Jones. He was knighted by the Queen for his contribution to music.
@@Egav-te7mk well he did have a helluva lot of temptation, and she stayed with him when she could have got a lot of money from divorce. I suppose after the first time it was something of an addiction, in the end maybe less upsetting for her than his having sex a few thousand times with one other woman.
Its a kick watching this young man get into the song and be awestruck by the voice and the effortless range. This young man would like to go back in time and see Tom Jones live. The fun part is he doesn't have to, Tom Jones can still sing like he did back in the 60s.
I'm a 72 year old white woman, and this is the music from my youth. I love seeing young people appreciate the beauty of such wonderful performers. Another I enjoyed so much is Sam Cooke. The purity of his voice, without all the fancy production, was incredible. Thanks for the blast from the past.
I hope he follows your suggestion. He will be amazed a man can still have that power in his voice at the age of 80. Amazing reactions from this young man, Tom Jones,,, who knew?
I was born in 1956 and these people put out the most wonderful songs that have passed the era of beautiful music! Percy Sledge was my favorite of all time, he had so much soul on his voice. He couldn't help it he was short and had a big gap in his front teeth, but he was wonderful to listen too
Like others have mentioned, he's a coach on The Voice U K. He's in his early 80's and it doesn't take much to get him to sing on the show. He may not have the power he had 55 years ago, but he still has an amazing voice. It would take you 5 minutes TOPS to find video of him singing on that show. Back in the day women would throw panties on stage at his shows.
Wy wife and I average 70 years old. I'm so glad that you are listening to "our" music...we've never caught on to much of the music from today. I enjoy your reactions, lololol. We had a great bunch of entertainers back in the day.... Rock on.
Back when no audio enhancements were needed. Tom just had a great, powerful, and unique sound to his voice. You make us oldies so happy to know that the music we grew up on and loved is not dying, as it shouldn't. Music of the fifties, sixties, and seventies was so incredible. You have so many incredible singers and groups to fall in love with through the years. Lucky guy! Really love your excitement and enthusiasm. Keep up the great work.
Most pop and rock singer's who can belt great high notes still have to make a stank face when doing it, Tom's voice is so great that he doesn't have to make a stank face, but the person watching him does haha!
This is the 3rd video where I watched a young person reacting to hearing Tom Jones for the first time. Good quality music last a long time. Tom is 80 years old and still got it. I hope he influence these young people to produce good material.
Now he is Sir Tom Jones, at 80, he can still belt this tune out. An amazing artist.. love his music and vocals. 😊 Happy to see the younger generation is listening to what WE grew up with: pure soul, no auto tune, raw. Now THAT'S talent!
Seriously, I found these reaction channels 3days ago and I am so thrilled watching young people diggin' TOM JONES... Oh, your appreciation of his GREAT voice and style made me tear up. I'LL NEVER FALL IN LOVE AGAIN, such a great classic. Now IN THREE DAYS, I have watched almost 60-70 reactions of THIS SONG. WOW, Town. Your face and response is heart melting. From a 69 year old mama who lived through the 60's. My respect to loving the oldies. Note: I saw TOM JONES in the late 70's, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Couldn't melt away though, with my husband sitting there lol. Thanks for being here.
Love that you love this old stuff. My first real reaction to Tom Jones was house/dog sitting for some people who had him on vinyl. Most nights I’d put on Tom Jones on the porch so I could hear it outside the house, grab a few beers, start a bonfire, and hang out with the dogs. Good nights man. Live in a rural area so nothing but stars by a fire and good music with a beer.
At 80 he still performs concerts sounds better than ever and recently was a judge/mentor on The Voice the same season as Jennifer Hudson. Tom is so smooth, mellow and powerful at the same time. React to his uptempo songs It’s Not Unusual Sexbomb What’s New Pussycat (was for a movie of the same title)
And sorry about all this autotune we used back then. 🤣 He's now Sir Tom Jones. He was "Knighted" by Queen Elizabeth ll of Britainin 2006. Look into his songs Delilah and She's a Lady...
Just like you said it's a time machine I grew up Christmas music in the first time I get to see it on UA-cam the bless you to see it all in the area God loves
I was 23yrs old in 1967, married to my current husband. We had our two small children and lived in west Texas, which is where we still live. I enjoyed all the "top tunes" back then on radio (constantly) and television (occasionally). Tom Jones was enormously popular then, made great vocals, & we still enjoy him in today's reaction vids. Thank you for this one!
This is my favorite Tom song! I remember sitting in my moms bedroom playing his albums on her record player for hours. You should hear ...green green grass of home. Tom is one of the greats. Even Elvis felt he was the greatest Male singer of his time
He’s 80 and can sing the same way! You my young bra, are the best out there doing these..I’m an old 62 year old white guy who watches a lot of these. You and Shushi (female) are the best individually in this game!
A fellow welsh man, he's from wales, a part of the uk, where i'm from too. if my memory serves me correctly he's from a part of wales called Pontypridd. He is well know in the uk and knighted by our Queen.
At 1:45 the smile on your face says it all! At 6:10, I’m saying to the screen, WAIT FOR IT......then. Boooooommm............Tom Jones is an amazing singer and can snap his fingers like no other!!
Thank God for you young men doing these reactions while I’m stuck at home cause of COVID. You all are killin it. Great job. I’m 67 and enjoying all of you. ❤️
What ought to really blow your mind is that, in 1967, this was the standard. This is what we heard every day, from a hundred different singers. Tom Jones was one of the best, yes, but not the only one. This is what music is supposed to sound like. I almost envy you, that your journey through the best years of popular music is only just beginning. Enjoy!
This song was written by Lonnie Donnegan. His son Peter was on the Voice UK and Tom Jones turned his chair. Tom and Peter performed this together on The Voice and his voice is still great at 80 years old. Jennifer Hudson was in awe while Tom was singing.
The first reaction I watched by you was Righteous Brothers Unchained Melody. I've subscribed and have watched about every reaction you have on UA-cam. Your reactions are awesome and heartfelt especially for the oldies but goodies music.
He just released a new album and his voice hasn’t been reduced, even at 80 yrs old. Fun fact: that little cough before he started singing? According to the radio interview he gave last week, that’s his whole entire voice warm up. 😂😂😂
In our time machine, that was when the best music was played. I grew up in that time and thankful that I was able to be there when these songs came out. I now relish the thought that men like you are now listening to these older songs. They never get old.
Twon, again, am glad to discover your channel. Am stunned and very pleased to see that you appreciate my countryman Tom Jones. Check in out on The Voice UK. The programme is brilliant, yet it was best when he and Jennifer Hudson were together. Cheers!
You have such AMAZING energy, so positive, so happy. i am just smiling away watching you smile! thank you for bringing back all these great memories for us.
I grew up with all kinds of music from the 50's to today. Not saying today's music ( from mid 90's to today ) is bad. Just music I grew up with had so much. It really brought people together. It made you think and feel things deep. I have watched many reaction videos and see a common thread. People are seeing / hearing true artists who worked hard for and at their crafts. Please keep sharing great music.
Delilah about a jealous man that kills his girl for cheating on him and Green green grass of home about a man sentenced to die who dreams of being home ..classics like so much of the music back then
Tom Jones and Janis Joplin on the Tom Jones Variety show is one of the best live performances with both singing and dancing! Fantastic and no one has played it yet. 💞✌
If you haven’t already check out clips of Sir Tom Jones on the British version of The Voice. He is still amazing at 80. He proves age is just a number. One of the best voices ever.
Just heard him sing this on his show, the voice, when I contestant happen to be the son of the guy who actually wrote this song, and he sings it with him, it blew me away that at 80 years old, he sounds even better. The guy is 80, and he still has women chasing him, I’m 51, and then run away from me! Dammit I’m jealous, as a singer and a man!
I fall in love watching your sounds and reactions seriously! 😘😊
hi love
@@glen6945 How are you darling?
Huge !!
Try out Tom Jones singing the Prince sing KISS
Me too! 🥰
The completely insane thing is that even now at 80 years old his voice is still astonishingly good... He’s like a force of nature.
Sinatra once told him he would ruin his voice if he did not stop singing with so much power. He STILL has the Power.
@@southwestgal7 ua-cam.com/video/NTxpX5W2I1M/v-deo.html
@@danrowden3898 You Tube removed the video due to copy rights.
You are 100 percent correct. He is the greatest vocalist ever.
Truth!!!
No auto tune, no electronic vocal enhancements....just pure raw talent
He was a miner from a small welsh town that used to sing for his friends. He is now 'Sir' Tom Jones. He was knighted by the Queen for his contribution to music.
Tom even snaps his fingers cooler than anyone else.
Dino Martin did the finger clicking pretty cool too! !!
@@robertwhite3992 oh!!! Bobby Darin Is the finger snappin' king!!! :)
Married his childhood sweetheart. Stayed married, & she only recently passed from cancer. He was knighted by the queen
Too bad he cheated on her thousands of times
He is still alive and has concert dates for 2021.
Moved onto his California woman.
@@Egav-te7mk well he did have a helluva lot of temptation, and she stayed with him when she could have got a lot of money from divorce.

I saw him in concert a couple of years ago, and he still has it!
that's the beauty of Tom still being with us. I love that I can now go see him.
I'm a 72 year old white woman, and this is the music from my youth. I love seeing young people appreciate the beauty of such wonderful performers. Another I enjoyed so much is Sam Cooke. The purity of his voice, without all the fancy production, was incredible. Thanks for the blast from the past.
Me too
I LOVE seeing young people discovering the old masters. That growing smile on this young man's face when Tom started singing was priceless. 😄
ME TOO, I GET GIDDY WATCHING TWON LOL
Say that again the joy of seeing that man face
Tom is Welsh. The Welsh are known world-wide as having great voices, speaking or singing. He lives up to that.
That's why they call Tom Jones 'The Voice.'
@@karenraines1076 Without a doubt, one of the GREATEST Voices of the Century.
As a Welsh woman I will second that 🙌
As another Welsh woman, I'd third it!
as a Welsh man i'll 4th it. We love singing- even my dog Bryn would sing with me, with all his heart.
Our lovely Tom knighted by our dear late Queen. Sir Tom
No auto tune.live performances. The real deal .And he’s still going strong . Go Sir Tom xx
This young reactor has said something very profound that i never thought. You Tube is a Time machine
Even now he still sings with amazing force and control. He has lost nothing. Truly blessed with a God given one of a kind voice.
He got serious pipes. Serious, serious pipes. Vocal power is off the charts.
"I Who Have Nothing"...Tom Jones has such a smooth and Powerful voice... incredible..
He can still sing and still looks like himself.
He's 80 years old and just released an album this year! What a talent.
He is now a judge on Britain's version of "The Voice".
He is currently a judge on the Voice UK, check out his duet with Jennifer hudson whilst being a judge of James Browns "Mans World". Amazing
I hope he follows your suggestion. He will be amazed a man can still have that power in his voice at the age of 80. Amazing reactions from this young man, Tom Jones,,, who knew?
Completely agree…that duet is phenomenal!!!
He does a mean cover of Mama Told Me Not To Come too.
He knows how to build the song. And STILL go bigger at the end. Such a strong , emotional voice.
I’m so happy that young people like you appreciate all type of music from different times.
absolutely priceless reaction....I've seen this performance many times since I discovered it on youtube.
It's called God given talent. And no auto tune back in those days.. Tom is still alive and he is on the Voice as one of the panelists.
I was born in 1956 and these people put out the most wonderful songs that have passed the era of beautiful music! Percy Sledge was my favorite of all time, he had so much soul on his voice. He couldn't help it he was short and had a big gap in his front teeth, but he was wonderful to listen too
You said it right there. It was so easy for him.

His Roar could be heard across the Atlantic. Powerful and full of Emotion!
He's from Wales, part of the UK and he's a national treasure ❤ he still sings great! He is a Judge on the voice uk❤
I loved seeing your face light up when Tom started singing.

I love watching you enjoy the music of my era.
He can still rock at 80 too!
He just had his 80th birthday, he still got the voice, he's kept in shape, he's amazing.
Check out Tom Jones', "I Who Have Nothing" and "Delilah". Both classics that were extremely popular back in the day.

You need to see the video of Tom singing Prince’s Kiss!
Not a dry seat in the house.
The best comment I have read today.
Just the occasional seat occupied by males...
Tom Jones is one of the best singers on the planet...
Tom Jones and Janis Joplin on the Tom Jones Variety show is one of the best live performances with both singing and dancing! Fantastic and no one has played it yet. 💞✌
I agree Joplin and Jones was a great perfomance.
Tom Jones is definitely alive and still sings. He is a judge on the Voice in Britain I think. What a hunk of man.
She's a lady is a really good one too!

He was about 27 when he did this one. I used to watch his show. My mom was such a big fan of his.
