      Mr. Jones, you absolutely slayed that song! There’s got to be a great story about the chatter with CSN&Y after the performance, please share (I’d love to hear their story about it too - pretty sure Stephen Stills was never going to be the same person again after that!).
      P.S. Some years back I recall watching a video you did with - as I recall - a German metal band. Some of it was filmed in a park someplace. You were wearing a leather jacket and, once again, absolutely blew the performance into the stratosphere. Unfortunately, I can’t recall the band or even the song and so try as I might, I can’t find it again. I’d love to watch it again. If you recall the video I’m referring to could you please tell me what it’s called so I can find it. Thanks!

    I feel like some people don’t really understand what an absolute beast of a vocalist Tom Jones was in his prime! He could literally sing anything and everything! Nothing was out of the realm of possibility with that voice!!! Just look at CSN&Y! It’s rare that you have a group of such an amazing musicians all sitting back just awestruck!!! Truly one of the greatest voices of our time!!!

      Nathan Grey, I am 4 decades your senior. The reverence you have given to the whole of this (my favourite duet) is stunning. I too see and appreciate all that you have pointed out. You did not disrespect the now Sir Tom Jones in any fashion, in my opinion. C,S,N,&Y is the epitome of harmony. If you enjoy the music of this era. May I humbly suggest you look up the video of Janice Joplin and Tom duet. By far that video is held in high esteem to this day by STJ. Janice even expressed to Tom that she would never have accepted any others request. Due to Tom's vocal ability, sound, need, and deep desire did she accept. In that video you can see the pure authentic Joy both were experiencing. If you are truly 17 7 months passed. You young man have a great appreciation of great music. Remember please, do not ever allow any individual to knock you down, ever. Again Thank you♥️

    I met Tom when I was 17, I'm 71 now. I was flying student standby from Detroit to Vegas and as stand by, they put me in first class....in the seat by Tom. I was a hippie and didn't recognize who he was but knew he was somebody special as every flight attendant came gushing over to meet him and see what they could get him. He was very nice, and we talked for quite a bit, they even served me mimosas, no one cared about my age when sitting next to Tom, lol. I found out who he was as I was deboarding the plane, and when I got home told my mom. She about had a fit...she kept saying " I can't believe you met Tom Jones and didn't ask for an autograph or picture." She loved him so much. This is a great video which shows he could blend well with rock artists. I wish him decades more of happiness, and good health!

    In the late 1960s, one of the great variety shows on American television was the Tom Jones show. He had a great ear for wanting to book who was hip and happening at that time and then he would sing with them! This is particularly fascinating as back then, Tom was thought of as “square” and CSNY was obviously thought of as completely the opposite. Well, in fact, Tom had always been one of the great singers and here he just knocks it out of the park on a song whose lyrics seem to resonate as much today as they did then! I also find this interesting that when Stills kicks in to sing you can tell he’s trying to reach the same level of intensity as Tom that Tom could do all the time.

They were duly impressed I can tell you that much. 👍

For a close harmony band of some note, Tom Jones elevated that song to something incredibly special, Stephen Still just about hanging on with his falsetto, Neil Young smiling! and seemingly in awe of what he was involved in and David Crosby can't really believe what he is hearing, they all had to step up to keep up! and boy did they step up…I won't be able to listen to the non-Jones version again….this is now my definitive version……how many more of these collaborations are out there, i can't believe this has been floating around since 1969 and i haven't heard it before….There is nobody out there currently that could even come close these days.

I was neither a fan not did I have anything against him. By the time I left the show I was definitely a huge fan. Talk about a performer. I came away feeling that he was engaging with the crowd on a very personal level, individually, all at the same time... I realize how counterintuitive that sounds but that's the best way I can describe the experience. He was mesmerizing...

    Such an unlikely pairing and who knew Tom Jones would be the main attraction? This combination was phenomenal.
