True! And most people don't (really) appreciate the 'Soul' of this Welsh kid's voice. His hips stole the show and scared away the male album buyers (imo). But its funny-- I thot the very same thing at 4:35...4:54! GOOD STUFF!
Stefan Altocumulus I have to agree, there’s no argument he’s a great singer and other rockers will (reluctantly) say the same but to the vast majority of people he’s the guy playing Vegas singing “What’s New Pussycat”, it’s the same reasoning someone like Cher couldn’t get in though she’s done some great soul music on her own
@@jimschmidt1958 At one time he said, "If Elvis is the King of Rock and Roll, I'm the Queen." He ended his life as a preacher and he said, "If Jesus can save an old queen like me, he can save you."
Yes tom had the luck to do duets with the 2 kings of rockn roll piano jerry lee lewis and little richard. Is there duets tom jones and the king of rock n roll guitar chuck berry?
The "King" has always referred to Elvis, at least in my recollection. Off hand, I can't think of a catchy one-word term for LR. I was in my mid-teens back then. And still have 2 or 3 of his ancient LPs.
Tom Jones got a bad rap early on. Many of us who like rock didn't like his image at 1st. He did grow on us as time went on and he got his accolades. At 1st, for me, he came on as to clean cut looking for the music he was singing when he sang rock songs. His look fit the ballads he sang perfectly I thought. And Elvis was the man and I thought overshadowed Tom Jones's talent.
@@bertpainter8385 Elvis was the original which is always going to overshadow look alike talents even if that talent is fantastic in their own right. Jones was also a singer only and not a song writer which severely hampered any artist from that era during transitional periods because they couldn’t adapt to societal shifts in musical tastes (unless they got lucky with song writers)
@@therespectedlex9794 Little Richard was fantastic and a pioneer, but Tom kept up with him, like he did in every duet on his show, regardless of genre.
My goodness. Just going through every Tom Jones performance with all of these rock legends and he absolutely burns up the stage in every single instance. The man is an amazing performer with an absolutely monstrous set of pipes.
I used to watch the Tom Jones show every week, he always had the best acts and would always showcase their talents before his, even though he could easily hold his own with any talent out there.
Yes, my mother and I always watched the Tom Jones show too. He had the best of the best on there, & his duets were so entertaining. Mama loved Little Richard too. Every time he was on television her eyes were glued to the set.
Declined Also Declined Did you watch Tom's show with Jerry Lee? It's fully as good as the Little Richard one - in fact I actually prefer it. It's on YT as well.
His high quality series of shows were the 2nd most expensive in the history of tv at 600 million dollars in today's money. Dean Martin's were THE most expensive at 850 million dollars in today's money.
@@aburrage7697 Macon Georgia is preserving Little Richard's home he and his 11 siblings was raised in. We're proud to say he's one of us. Thanks Richard for all your great music.
@@lisaellis9749 Except Tom Jones is Welsh. Admittedly he wasna there at the very beginning like Little Richard, Elvis and Jerry Lee, but when he goes into it he smashes it with the very best of them.
Did you know that he washed dishes at the bus station and was singing one day and saw the reaction of some young folks sitting at the counter and flash he has an idea and the rest if history. Tutti Friutti.
With all due respect to Elvis, LR is the true King of R&R. It took huge balls to be yourself as a flamboyant black man in the 50s and 60s in the segregated South. He was always true to himself, and that’s why he’ll always be “The Man”. Rest In Peace, King.
Little Richard will always be the King of Rock & Roll! There would be no Elvis if it wasn’t a Little Richard to mimic! His final years were spent praising God, preaching the 3 Angel Message of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church and urging everyone to follow Jesus! He is now asleep and awaiting for Jesus’s triumphant return! Praise the Lord for Little Richard!
I am 46 years old while I am writing this.I never knew Tom Jones had chops like that!. My bad for dissing him all these years. He is a complete vocalist after listening to this. Tom Jones is a king of vocals!
I'm 62 and been listening to Tom Jones since I was a kid. He more than holds his own with all of the legends he paired with on his TV show. I consider him the greatest male popular singer. Deep down soulful but when he belts out a ballad, his power is operatic. Just amazing.
Felipe GS YEAA Tom Jones got SOULLL he’s terrific but he doesn’t outshine Little Richard, Little Richard is PHENOMENAL. Just listen to his tone of voice, there’s nothing like him
@@TerriblePerfection That's very good to hear. I was just referencing him with some of these very memorable old clips. Check him out with Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young: "Long Time Comin'." He and Stephen Stills knock it outta' the park vocally. Astounding. I never heard Stills sound so good. Tom Jones brought it out in him.
Good lord!!! This was an amazing set. Never see it before. Little Richard the CREATOR and ARCHITECT of Rock and Roll and Sir Tom Jones together. Simply gold.
I've never seen this either, beautiful. But there may be an argument over creater of r&r. Chuck Berry, a young man from Lubbock, Texas, etc. All wonderful artists, musicians, remembered, and seen anew by the young, forever. I'm so jealous!
Is unbelieveble that Sir Tom Jones still have this powerfull voice on these days. I love the rythim of Little Richard. A simple and amazing rock 'n roll. This is rock 'n roll, the true rock 'n roll. Would like to give a thousand likes for this.

How amazing! I actually got to play guitar for little Richard in the early to mid 80’s. My dear late music director friend Artie McLaughlin got me the gigs. Don’t you wish every day could be like this. Everyone coming together, despite politics, race and creed and just singing together. Look how happy Tom is!

Two of my Favorites, I saw Tom one time, Little Richard I have seen him at least 16 times. I mean on the Front Row in Houston at the Arena Theater and the Old Sm Houston Coliseum, that was such a Shindig, that I felt out of place wearing a Suit &Tie and not a TUX. LONG LIVE THE SIXTIES!!!
Nice to see that when it comes to music, there's no matter of skin color around. These two were having a ball singing together and it shows. Only music can give you this 👍
It's White people who have so much problem accepting people who don't look like them. Don't come over here with rhat "no skin color " crap as if YOU aren't the ones who created it!
Tom was highly influenced by Little Richard growing up and also Jerry Lee Lewis and Brook Benton...you can hear all their voices in his vocal sound and depending what type of song he's singing...
He is so awesome! I saw Little Richard for the first time in the late 60's and I wondered to myself, "where the Hell has this guy been all of my life". This is 10 years after his prime and he was better than ever. He will live forever in our hearts and music!
Little Richard steals any show effortlessly. I love that when he was concerned to follow Janis Joplin after 8 standing ovations, he sent someone back to the hotel to get his mirror suit. This should be the solution to every problem.
@Curtis Ostriker Elvis's career started in 1954. It's doubtful that he would have known anything about Little Richard before he hit the big time with Tutti Frutti a year later. However, that's a minor point. You're right that LR did have a huge influence overall, whether or not Elvis was influenced by him.
@@gynack Think it’s more about the fact that many of the legendary musical influencers of modern music like the Beatles etc were heavily, if not predominantly influenced by little Richard
@@dundalis Wikipedia has a section on the Beatles' musical influences. They mention Little Richard, but make no suggestion of him being their predominant influence. Presley was apparently important, and there were others like Chuck Berry, the Eerly Brothers and Buddy Holly,
Piano? Surely Little Richard's main thing was that great, powerful, bluesy rockin' voice of his. He was wonderful. But when it comes to rockin' piano, it's all about Jerry Lee Lewis.
Proof how great Little Richard was and how underrated Tom Jones is
Tom Jones underrated?! 😂
@@TerriblePerfectionyes underrated.... So many don't know this side of Tom Jones

Totally! Tom is a professional.
I love the way Tom throws his hand out right away to shake hands first with Richard ,very respectful and delighted.
@@whatadollslife And Richard took Tom's hand in both of his, and held onto it for a couple of seconds. Felt like sincere pleasure on his part.
Tom is, maybe, the most underrated and sorry to state it like this, white singer. And perhaps the only one who got soul.
@@mitchelldegeest938 You're saying Elvis, Joe Cocker, Eric Burdon, John Fogerty, they ain't got no soul? I will disagree.
Little Richard needs to be honoured more than all soul musicians. His voice is so soothing to my soul
His interviews never disappoint so funny love his stories
It brings you to tears. He's incredibly talented and soulful. Almost gospel like quality
One of the founding fathers of rock'n'roll
No lip-synching! No retakes! Just pure, unadulterated talent, lies and uncut! You can literally feel the power in those notes this was done decades ago. Wow.
Not sure Tom Jones gets enough credit for being an absolutely insane rock'n'roll singer - nobody else could have matched Little Richard note for note.
They sound so similar here. You can hear Little Richard's influence on Tom clear as day. Legends!
Totally. Never realized the magnitude before, must've been a huge role model and influence on Tom.

Its crazy how good tom jones is in little richard's style and keep up with him. Crazy range. That man can sing anything in any style.
Tom Jones is incredible. I hope the Rock Hall acknowledges him one day.

@Stefan Altocumulus I didn't say as a pioneer, but Tom Jones performed with all the great artists.
He's never written a song. That may be a reason. Yeah, I know....Elvis.

Tom still does after all these years. Little Richard is a giant of early rock n roll. What a performer he was.
I love it when singers have a mutual respect for each other.
This is unbelievable. Two vocal greats. Full of energy. Got constant chills watching this.
The big smile on Tom's face says it all! He loved every second of this performance!

You can see so much respect in Tom's eyes when he's looking over at Little Richard
emmerson lake and palmer
It looked like Richard returned that respect, too.
Tom hates gags, so I doubt 👍
Little Richard the real king of rock and roll
Tom once said the guests he was most proud to have had on his show were Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis
Man, you can't tell where Richard ends and Tom Jones begins. Tom did his homework!
So true!
He was in love with Little Richards music before he became famous so he knew every note and word off by heart.
Another electric performance is Tom Jones and Janis Joplin, belting out "Raise Your Hand" on his show. ua-cam.com/video/mZmiefQ5y4U/v-deo.html

metoo...
Same
Love them. I saw Tom Jones perform at "The Westbury Music Fair " back in the eighties! The Sweet Inspirations were his background vocalists!
They say Elvis is the king of rock and roll .... But could Elvis rock the piano like Richard could ?
To me little richard is THE KING hands down
Those 2 powerful voices sound great together
Tom Jones is the most soulful White dude ever!
He's lightskin
Eddie Vedder is a close second
I didn't know that Tom Jones was that talented and like you said Tom Jones is Blue Eyed Soul peace out

You don't know a lot of things.
Ok low IQ?
This is singing. The true King of rock of till Little Richard and an all time great and legend Tom Jones
Two of my Favorites, I saw Tom one time, Little Richard I have seen him at least 16 times. I mean on the Front Row in Houston at the Arena Theater and the Old Sm Houston Coliseum, that was such a Shindig, that I felt out of place wearing a Suit &Tie and not a TUX. LONG LIVE THE SIXTIES!!!
Wow. Lucky you.
Where did you see Tom Jimmy?
Nice to see that when it comes to music, there's no matter of skin color around.
These two were having a ball singing together and it shows.
Only music can give you this 👍
Uh, no. Life can give you this too.
@@starkenterprises2371 well, it happens yes.
It's White people who have so much problem accepting people who don't look like them. Don't come over here with rhat "no skin color " crap as if YOU aren't the ones who created it!
This is fkn awesome.. actual music
You could see how much they appreciated each others talents. Quality stuff
I never realized how similar Tom Jones' voice is to Little Richard's. Hmm. But damn that's good music!!!!
Love little Richard. And Tom Jones could sing everything. Amazing power when he really turns it on.
Yes I agree
It's almost like Tom Jones is lip sinking he is just that good.
Right? I was astounded by the similarity of their registers and timbres.
Tom was highly influenced by Little Richard growing up and also Jerry Lee Lewis and Brook Benton...you can hear all their voices in his vocal sound and depending what type of song he's singing...
He is so awesome! I saw Little Richard for the first time in the late 60's and I wondered to myself, "where the Hell has this guy been all of my life".
This is 10 years after his prime and he was better than ever.
He will live forever in our hearts and music!
Black and White matching each others souls. Pure Gold!
A fantastic performance by 2 musical greats. RIP Little Richard.
Tom could really sing anything wow
@Norma Vandever He pretty much could. I can't think of another popular male singer who is any better.
It's even better now
When that intro kicks in together with the band. DAMN that's some rock and roll. That BASS goes wild.
4:14
RIP Little Richard you beautiful freak of nature! One of the greatest rockers of all time. LONG LIVE THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL!
You could tell Tom Jones loved soul, r&b and rock music! But he could sing the phone book too!
Have you ever heard a better duet ever? I havent
discovered these duet performances cuz of the Joplin one.. Tom actually held his own in this one.
There is nothing Tom can't sing and no one he can't sing with.
That's so true. And he seems so comfortable doing it!
I saw Tom Jones in Vegas, absolutely fabulous.
And he still can sing like that today at 80 years
Ralph C wow true
Little Richard steals any show effortlessly. I love that when he was concerned to follow Janis Joplin after 8 standing ovations, he sent someone back to the hotel to get his mirror suit. This should be the solution to every problem.
Love,Love,Love Little Richard and Tom Jones music those were the days when singers could really sing
I hate comments like this, open your ears there are plenty of great singers in every era
Say what you want about little richard, but he was one of, if not the main architect of rock and roll.
@Curtis Ostriker
Elvis's career started in 1954. It's doubtful that he would have known anything about Little Richard before he hit the big time with Tutti Frutti a year later. However, that's a minor point. You're right that LR did have a huge influence overall, whether or not Elvis was influenced by him.
Undisputed. Richard was the man!
he is the God of rock.........
@@gynack Think it’s more about the fact that many of the legendary musical influencers of modern music like the Beatles etc were heavily, if not predominantly influenced by little Richard
@@dundalis
Wikipedia has a section on the Beatles' musical influences. They mention Little Richard, but make no suggestion of him being their predominant influence. Presley was apparently important, and there were others like Chuck Berry, the Eerly Brothers and Buddy Holly,
They both have powerful soulful voices! Great duet medley
sadly Little Richard has passed. Most rockin' piano ever.
josette s
LR was a great performer. However, he never rocked the piano like Jerry Lee, and nor did anybody else.
Trevor Morris micke muster is better than jerry lee
@@gynack ABSOLUTELY!
@@citrificaL are you crazy Jerry Lee lewis invented his own still
Piano? Surely Little Richard's main thing was that great, powerful, bluesy rockin' voice of his. He was wonderful. But when it comes to rockin' piano, it's all about Jerry Lee Lewis.
Two extremely talented people. That was great.
Why have I never seen this masterpiece before? It is so fooking cool! Loving it 54 years later . Delirious and a bit stoned from Donegal. Cheers. 😎
GoTom Jones... Tom Jones was incredible with soul..... Rest well King Richard
