Wow, I've never heard this before, what a great performance by Mark and Tom, Mark's great guitar sound and Tom's wonderful voice! That was fantastic, thanks so much for your reaction! 😊😊
Such a powerful and emotional performance from both Mark and Tom! This song was actually written by Charlie Rich, but this is a take on the version Mark created with The Notting Hillbillies.
For anyone who hasn't seen it, it's worth checking out the recent Sky Arts series "Johnson and Knopfler's Music Legends". Mark and fellow Geordie Brian Johnson, lead singer of AC/DC, get together with other famous musicians for a chat with a few off-the-cuff tunes. The first episode featured Tom Jones.
I can't believe I missed that you guys reacted to this one. As always, another stunning guitar performance from Mark, but Tom's voice is incredible. What a great combination. Great reaction guys/
well, I wouldn't say Tom Jones is underrated, he's very well known everywhere and everyone is aware of his singing talents since the 60s. Many many hits the world over.
There are still a lot of people who are unfamiliar with anything other than What's New Pussycat or Delilah. I would say he is still undervalued by too many.
Probably a poor choice of words on my part. I meant, I personally underrated Tom Jones. And feel bad for it, because his voice is sublime! I'm aware how popular he is all over the world. Warm wishes from Romania ☺️💚
@@MerchantOfAlba Yes, I had a hunch that's what you meant. If one personally hadn't been so aware of him then you're correct! I agree in most cases with your videos and it's good to see you appreciating the many artists that you do. It's sometimes quite impressive how you both are able to hear out the passions or the messages coupled with the genius of the music itself. Music is of course a universal language. I too also very much like Richard Hawley (as it seems you both do too), who you reacted to, and believe it or not, he actually isn't that well known internationally. I'm a Brit but live in Germany and here he is totally unknown (!!) which is crazy really. But there are possibly other reasons for that since the German public have always in the past been subjected to an organisation called GEMA who by way of specific forms and ways of marketing have promoted some artists and simply ignored others for reasons that cannot be understood. 🙂👍
This is such a deep and meaningful song. The performance from both Tom and Mark does it real justice. I cry every time I listen to it. Thanks for the reaction, on point as always
The whole album of The Notting Hillbillies album from which this song is taken is superb. I advise you to listen "will you miss me" from this album too. But then you risk having it in your head all day
Hey guys, always nice to watch your reactions! Besides Tom Jones and Mark Knopfler, your dog in the background gave me that extra big smile :-). His paws were moving while he was dreaming his dream...
Thanks for this. Really special. My favorite singer is Tom Jones. I also love listening to Robin Gibb, Ray Charles, Steve Marriot, Smokey Robinson, John Mellencamp, Brook Benton, Paul McCartney, Steve Perry, Eric Burdon, Ed Ames, and Gabriel Henrique. Stevie Ray Vaughan tops my list of favorite guitarists, a list which definitely includes Mark Knopfler, Jeff Beck, and Joe Bonamassa. As for favorite singer/songwriters... there are Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Bruce Springsteen, Dolly Parton, and Paul Simon who are just some of those who make my list. Of course there are many more artists with amazing vocals, mastery of musical instruments and composing, specials gifts for writing lyrics, and just a way of captivating audiences with their talent and presence. Many share multiple gifts as singers, musicians, composers, lyricists, and charismatic performers. What a wealth of talent! So many artists to enjoy, and more to discover (old and new). Here are several performances you should check out: -- The video of Tom Jones singing "Love Letters" with Jeff Beck on guitar. Very moving! -- A live performance by a young Stevie Wonder singing "Money"... playing piano and harmonica to a small in-studio audience for Italian TV. -- Lonnie Mack (with Stevie Ray Vaughan) doing "Oreo Cookie Blues." (It will put a smile on your face!) -- John Farnham covering The Beatles "Help" with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. -- Tom Jones with his impassioned "I Who Have Nothing," featured on his TV show (This Is Tom Jones) in 1970. -- An earlier Tom Jones with his wistful rendition of the song "Autumn Leaves," in a live performance on French TV from 1965. Love your reactions! Am looking forward to more.
Great reaction and a truly wonderful song that hits you right in the gut. But your dog! He's laying off to the left of the screen obviously having a doggie dream. His legs are going. Hilarious. Starts about 5:20.
Thank you Thank you - i had never neard this before - heard both sepperately of course but this was just magical honey smooth orgasms for the ears - wow - well done for reveiwing this guys!!
I grew up in the 60's and 70's watching all the variety shows, and Tom Jones Show was one of my favorites, I never heard this song It's great you should check out Tom Jones & Janis Joplin "Raise Your Hand"😅 Peace✌️ and Love❤️ Gary😊
another movie you may want to check out some time is Local Hero..... Mark does the entire soundtrack...... this song is from that movie..... you'll obviously love it.
That's a Charlie Rich song. I think it was the last one he wrote before he passed away. You would probably enjoy his music. Mohair Sam and Behind Closed Doors are a couple of good ones by him. His version of Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues is excellent also.
Have a look at 'Local Hero' by Mark. Both me and him come from Newcastle upon Tyne in the north east of England. As do many famous people and musicians; The Animals, Pet Shop Boys, Hank Marvin, Bruce Welch, Sting, The Lighthouse Family, Andy Taylor, Ant & Dec, Brian Johnson, Brian Ferry, Prefab Sprout, Lindisfarne, and Sam Fender..to name a few. Local Hero is used as the walk out theme for Newcastle United home games. Truly an icon anthem.
I used to watch Tom Jones on TV here in Canada back in the 1960s and 70s. He would have special guests every week and the show was broadcast from a casino in Las Vegas. Tom is incredibly strong, too! I saw him tear a 3 inch phone book in half with his bare hands right on TV. So, don't insult Tom or you may live to regret it, LOL! And as for Mark Knopfler, what is there to say? The first time I heard him was when Dire Straits first album came out way back in 1978 and I knew right away that he was one of the best guitarists in the world. That album is just incredible and still knocks me dead to this day. They took so many of there songs from JJ Cale's "Naturally" album from 1972 and simply re-crafted them to suit their tastes, but they freely admit that JJ was one of their guitar heroes and they were mightily inspired by him. 🎸🎸🎙👌💖💖💖☺
"They took so many of there songs from JJ Cale's "Naturally" album from 1972 and simply re-crafted them to suit their tastes" Seriously, where did you get that from?!? All Dire Straits songs have been written by MK himself. But, he was certainly influenced by the brilliant JJ Cale. P.S. Only "Money for Nothing" has Sting as a cowriter because Sting's record company demanded that, since the phrase "I want my MTV" was sung like "Don't Stand So Close to Me", written by Sting
@@BasMeijer It is exactly as I said it is. Play the two albums side by side and see if you can't draw a line directly from one Dire Straits song to another JJ Cale song. That is not to say they are a direct copy as that would be liable to copyright infringement. But the Blues is a genre that easily allows for derivation. Even JJ admitted that he used certain guitar licks from other guitarists and changed them only slightly for his own purposes.
@@ToddSauve It is clear from JJ Cale's interviews about MK that he does not agree with you, as he said on radio in 2004: "Mark Knopfler didn't cut any of my songs, but I think he listened to a couple of my early albums and he got that groove (radio, 2004)". Sadly you do not provide any resource that supports your claim nor can I find anything on Google.
@@BasMeijer I think we are saying the same thing Bas. Mark Knopfler and John Illsely said in a video interview that they listened to a lot of JJ (and some other bands) before putting out their first album. I can certainly hear the influence. I'm 66 and have learned a lot of this over the years, so not all of it is on the internet. I'm not making this up. Have a great day!
When mark starts to play, i cry😥😢And mark didn't played a les paul often, but whatever the guitar he's playing it sounds crazy❤The guitarists like him, Jimi Hendrix, Jimi Page, or Dave Gilmour, are monstruous❤Magical
Great reaction! If you like seeing big artists collaborating, please check Knopfler and Clapton playing “Layla” during the concert “Music for Montserrat”. Or the “Money for nothing” performance on that concert with Knopfler, Clapton, Sting and Phil Collins.
Andrei and Dominika: you should really completely listen to the Notting Hillbillies album dated 1986. You will find the song "Feel Like Going Home" and many other pretty good songs from MK creation.
this is a good version, but Brendan Croker sings this way better in the Notting hillbillies, you really need to check out that version, more soulful and you can feel his pain and angsts. great reaction.
I always enjoy your reaction videos. However, it’s such a a shame that you have to cover the screen so often because of copyright. Is this because of regulations present in your country? I only ask because I have watched the same video that yourselves and reactors in the UK and USA are showing, and the latter appear to be able to show the video with an unobstructed screen.
Hello, we are not sure if restrictions apply to the region we are in. It all happens when we upload the video and UA-cam copyright it. Without covering it, we would not be able to post it. We always attach a link to the original video for those who want to check it out. Much love from Romania ☺️💚
If ya know of a vid with two better "artists of their trade" together, please let me know. "Mr Jones" was never backwards about putting himself "forward". The women in the audience went nuts, some divesting themselves of their underwear, at one stage. And sure, he played on it.
Mark sings with his guitar... and how he sings!!!! and of course Tom Jones has a spectacular voice.
Wow, I've never heard this before, what a great performance by Mark and Tom, Mark's great guitar sound and Tom's wonderful voice! That was fantastic, thanks so much for your reaction! 😊😊
Toms voice and MK playing a guitar vocal just sublime what a combination
Two of the greatest! Your faces told the story.
Marks guitar is just a seamless extension of his body. Incredible Combination of the two legends
Beautiful. Mark's guitar brings me tears. So beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a fabulous performance! Great reaction.
Such a powerful and emotional performance from both Mark and Tom! This song was actually written by Charlie Rich, but this is a take on the version Mark created with The Notting Hillbillies.
That was fantastic!
Tom Jones was a superstar going all the way back to the 60s, so I'm pretty sure Mark Knopfler was more in awe.
Oh my stars, what beauty both vocally and Mark playing guitar like only Mark can, oh my soul 🙏🏻🙏🏻
For anyone who hasn't seen it, it's worth checking out the recent Sky Arts series "Johnson and Knopfler's Music Legends". Mark and fellow Geordie Brian Johnson, lead singer of AC/DC, get together with other famous musicians for a chat with a few off-the-cuff tunes. The first episode featured Tom Jones.
I can't believe I missed that you guys reacted to this one. As always, another stunning guitar performance from Mark, but Tom's voice is incredible. What a great combination. Great reaction guys/
One of the best mark knopfler songs, especially this version
It's not a Knopfler original, it's from Charlie Rich
He's from Wales!The land of the male voice choir❤
well, I wouldn't say Tom Jones is underrated, he's very well known everywhere and everyone is aware of his singing talents since the 60s. Many many hits the world over.

Mark ❤❤❤❤ Tom ❤❤❤❤👍 Beautiful reaction ❤❤❤❤🙏
That was a wonderful performance, and I so enjoy watching the two of you express your emotions in reacting. Great job yall!
Love both of them so much it hurts
Wowza, two of my favorites coming together. I've never seen this before so thanks for the reaction 🎵🎶💚
Just amazing marks guitar talent ❤
This is such a deep and meaningful song. The performance from both Tom and Mark does it real justice. I cry every time I listen to it. Thanks for the reaction, on point as always
Tom Jones is the best forever ❤️
A wonderful duet.
Brilliant👍👍

Tom is a great singer, but what an amazing couple of solos from Mark 😮 his phrasing is about the best there is.
Very cool!! ❤❤
Deadly duo.. Nothing compared.
I love both of them 💖🙋🏻♀️🇲🇽
This is a stunning song
Hey guys, always nice to watch your reactions! Besides Tom Jones and Mark Knopfler, your dog in the background gave me that extra big smile :-). His paws were moving while he was dreaming his dream...
Haha, he does that 🐶 Thank you. Greetings from Romania 💚

HEYYYY!
I love Sir Tom Jones, and somehow I’d never heard this!
You have to hear Mark playing with Chet!
Thank you Thank you - i had never neard this before - heard both sepperately of course but this was just magical honey smooth orgasms for the ears - wow - well done for reveiwing this guys!!
Have never heard this and thank you.
WOW!!! That's all I can say.
I grew up in the 60's and 70's watching all the variety shows, and Tom Jones Show was one of my favorites, I never heard this song It's great you should check out Tom Jones & Janis Joplin "Raise Your Hand"😅 Peace✌️ and Love❤️ Gary😊
another movie you may want to check out some time is Local Hero..... Mark does the entire soundtrack...... this song is from that movie..... you'll obviously love it.
You got to hear Charlie Rich sing it...
Tom.Jones has got to be one of the best male singers ever.
Only a welsh man can sing like this , saute tom jones ❤
Check out Sir Tom Jones' Rap video(REALLY!) from the 90s and he's in his 50s...Excellent! "Tom Jones - If I Only Knew"
That's a Charlie Rich song. I think it was the last one he wrote before he passed away. You would probably enjoy his music. Mohair Sam and Behind Closed Doors are a couple of good ones by him. His version of Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues is excellent also.
would be very hard to top that performance
You should check out Tom singing with Janis Joplin.
