It's a Gilbert O Sullivan song but Sir Tom Jones vocals are soooo string n great, I lost track of time just listening to this masterpiece... God really blessed him with incredible vocals at birth n he is still great today in 2022 ♥️♥️🌹🌹🙏🙏. I'm a huge fan 🙏🙏🌹🌹♥️♥️. Thank you for your music n especially your vocals. You're a superstar 👍👍👍♥️♥️🌹🌹
Marvelous song by the most marvelous of singers! THe feeling TOm puts into this song along wiht his magnificent voice is an unbeatable combination! Has anyone got a copy of Ring of Fire performed on Danish TV by Tom back in 1967????
@JOHNNORTHBRADY hmmmm Gilbert is ok John, but and you know there is always a but, Tom puts his heart and soul into it ,I think it's better.. cheers mate.
Tom Jones is a great performer, who sings with feeling & power. The author of the song is Gilbert O'Sullivan, a great composer/lyricist, not a bad singer but no one is as a great singer as Tom Jones, because Tom always sings with the passion of an amateur no matter how professional he is. Yes professional is a negative word in my book, meaning cold-hearted & calculating-
@@zeezee9670 He was also Engelbert Humperdinck's manager . The three singers are all still alive into their 70s and 80s , but Gordon Mills died quite young years ago . The Gilbert O'Sullivan song Claire was allegedly written about the times when Gilbert would babysit for Mr.Mills' Daughter , Claire . I am full of useless information , but it can be quite handy at pub quizzes !
I have read the story behind Claire but didn't remember the name. Is there any useless info (in the right context of course)?? Any info can be the missing link that triggers one of the "well-oiled lightning-speed chain" of brain cells (intuition iif you like). Then, even if you think you are filling a memory capacity of sorts, then the info extends the capacity. ;pIn short keep it coming for me and the others here, thanks.
The very song version from Tom Jones which holds a heavy weight of my childhood memory with every second of this track, I wish I could see more of his rare Performances of this song soon.
You are 100% correct my friend! All of the total worthless crap that gets million of views...and along comes this classic from 1971 sung to perfection by one of the greatest singers in history, and it has a 4000? Amazing isn't it?
@elvidinck Amen, brother, amen! I could not have said it better myself. We live in a world now that does not know what it has lost. Just two generations ago, we could watch giant talents sing, dance, act, do comedy and other live performance art. But no longer. It really is amazing what psses for talent these days, and they are all "superstars", right? The term "superstar" was first used, believe it or not, to describe Tom Jones, a singer's singer. No singer today can compare to him.
"When I'm drinking my Bonaparte Shandy, eating more than enough apple pies; will I glance at my screen and watch real human beings starve to death right in front of my eyes?" Wow!
Jesus lol that was shit. I like Tom Jones a day didn't realise he sang this one. Sorry Tom. Sometimes they give you a great song but if its already great then you can only fuck it up lol and before you all start writing shit. Listen to both versions:) from the beginning to the end ;)
Solveig Mortensen I would not say that the version of Tom Jones is better or worse than the version of Gilbert. Just different I would say. I like both of the versions.
No no no,, this song is painful if not sang exactly the proper timing,,..he is dragging the arse outta it...when done at exact speed it doesn't sound overly sentimental or cheesy like Mr Jones.
I haven't listened to this song for such a long time ❤thanks a lot ❤🙏
Finest,Greatest Singer I Ever Heard !!!! Tommy Woodward Jones !!! The Voice !!!!

What a Singer, What a song
All I can say is priceless, and will never be repeated to this perfection, well done Tom......
@JOHNNORTHBRADY hmmmm

If you listen closely, you'll find a lot of wisdom in this song. Beautifully done by Sir Tom!

@@zeezee9670 Tom and Gilbert had the same manager , Gordon Mills

This voice is simply amazing, so many years, so many songs, sung so brilliantly!
El más grande de todos por lejos,un tocado por la varita de Dios,talentos como este nos hacen la vida más fácil,THE BEST!!!!!.-

a wonderfull song.........but with the voice of Tom it is better....the Great Voice of all times
born to sing this song
so much more with this voice!!!, everything rhymes!
Beautifully sublime song...superbly performed by Tom Jones...." Nothing Rhymes " ....My major compliments to "Vpvtalik for this very fine upload .
Such a wonderful song, such a tender interpretation. Love it!
Wow! What a version!!
I hate that it's in 4/4. The change in meter loses a lot in my opinion.
The great Tom Jones
This is of a very fine rare quality
Tom the best
Murders this song.
❤❤❤
Том красава,лучше всех
Simply amazing!
Original is a walz.
Beautiful
Amazing gift!

A great evergreen..Great melody with rich words, and Tom jones have given justice to the song !!
Somehow this song suits him
Brilliant performance! Tom Jones one of the best crooners of all time
Unmatched! Masterly...simply outstanding.

great cover
i listen giberts and tom and i say the tom much beter and is voice is nomber 1
TOMS VERSION VERY TOUCHING
best vearsion
What a song for all singers to attempt?
Kuunyelen Tomppaa😊
Detsl featuring Marusya - Pismo
I prefer it by Burton Cummings but Tom does it very well indeed.
Not a bad version at all but the original by the man who also wrote it wins by a country mile.
Tom's a great performer but Gilbert O'Sullivan's version is the definitive one.
Децл - письмо 😂
gilberts is the best version but tom does a great job .
I don't like the time signature change from 6/8 to 4/4. Feel like it loses a lot. The lyrics and melody were written to fit that 3/4 or 6/8 feeling.
Great, love Tom Jones, big fan, but a bit over performed. I prefer the original version by Gilbert O'Sullivan.
You can’t get near the original....
Jesus lol that was shit. I like Tom Jones a day didn't realise he sang this one. Sorry Tom. Sometimes they give you a great song but if its already great then you can only fuck it up lol and before you all start writing shit. Listen to both versions:) from the beginning to the end ;)
His voice is so clear & so strong
But I must say, I don't like the song.
You're tone deaf.
Honestly I like Gilbert O'Sullivans version better, much better.
Solveig Mortensen I would not say that the version of Tom Jones is better or worse than the version of Gilbert. Just different I would say. I like both of the versions.
No no no,, this song is painful if not sang exactly the proper timing,,..he is dragging the arse outta it...when done at exact speed it doesn't sound overly sentimental or cheesy like Mr Jones.
He ruined this classic. A disgrace.
Still prefer Burton Cummings' version.
tom
The best! SO full of feeling and honesty.
