I'm 62 years old, and I remember my mother being completely in love with Tom Jones back in the '60s. He had a television variety show for a while, which was must-watch TV in our house! And now, 60 years later, he's still having that effect on young women. Most of us guys wish they could figure out how to bottle whatever it is that Tom Jones has, so we could just splash a bit on each morning.
I will be 64 by the end of the week and I used to watch his tv show. He always had hot girls on. There is also a youtube vid of him on Hefner's variety show and he does a song.
@@Joskemom hott girls....u funny....hey did you like Engelbert Humperdinck? I actually liked him better. My mother and grandmother was always going to see him. Well Tom Jones also. I wanted to go, lol. But I went to see Karen Carpenter as a kid....so that was better, lol.
@@michaelasay8587 Was not into Englebert, but "We've Only Just Begun" was one of my favorites songs back then. A class mate in high school said ' My mother has the hots for Tom Jones'.
Women were known to throw their underwear to him on stage. Fabulous then and fabulous now. He is one singer that has retained his voice into his 80's. And that alone is unbelieveable. Sir Tom still has it!
@@primemover1416 ,, Ya, I was going to say. I don't recall for sure which one it was, but I think it was Tom who was discovered while working the Docks. Kind of a Longshoreman Dock worker.
@@michaelasay8587 He may be better to some people's ears at one or two songs. That he's really well known for. But overall Tom has more variety in the locker, can do more styles, and is better overall in my view.
Omg, I was in love with him when he first came out. I am 71 yrs old and this song gives me chills. I am happy to see how all of the younger generation, love all the music I grew up with.
To be born Welsh is to be born priviledged, not with a silver spoon in your mouth, but music in your blood, and poetry in your soul 🏴 🏴 🏴
As a Scotsman, hearing the Welsh national anthem when sung by the Welsh people in a packed stadium, it gets me. Just seems you all have that singing gene down there 😎
Trust me Britt, His "panty-dropping" legend has been "cemented" for more than 55 (+) years!!! Sir Tom Jones is Welsh, he was "Knighted" by the Queen of England and he is a "Living Legend" till this day in 2023!!! He was close friends with Elvis, Stevie Wonder, Cher, etc...and he has always sung with a "Soulful" style!!! He is now in his early 80's, he's a Judge on the TV Show "The Voice UK" and the man at his age can still belt out those notes like it's nobody else's business!!! Thanks for reacting to this one...now you know why it was requested that you check out this performance too!!! Well done my friend...
There is a video of him from The Voice in England performing this with the son of its original writer. In his 80’s the man still has it. Sir Tom is a master and indeed he has been dropping panties for over half a century. He’s one of s kind.
Exactly that but not have some have,wrongly, said, written for him as this was written in 1961 and Tom was still Tom Woodward in The Tommy Scott Band then in Welsh Clubs.
What's cool about that is Tom was the only one to turn his chair for the kid. When he heard his name , he half heartedly asked him if he was related to Lonnie Donnegon. When the kid said yes, Tom got a huge surprised smile on his face. It was pretty awesome
Tom is a legend when you hear him you just know its him . Elvis was a big fan of Tom They were great friends . Thank you Britt for reacting to this particular version . It shows just how powerful and talented he is . Hr had his own TV show back then in the states and he would invite all the top singers like Stevie wonder Wilson Pickett Janis Joplin Cher. If you want to know who broke his heart , The song DELILAH on the ED SULLIVAN show will tell you .
@@elizabethfranco1284 very true, the original artist was Lonnie Donnegan (an old friend of Toms) and it was the son - Peter Donnegan who was on the Voice UK. It was also fun listening to the banter between Peter and Tom. Even if Britt chooses not to react to it, she could give it a listen
Just saw your post…I mentioned the same thing. Hope she listens to it! The “Best of Sir Tom Jones” on The Voice is pretty amazing too. I’m going to see him again in Sarasota in May! 🤗
Glad you followed it up with this reaction. Tom Jones in his prime was awesome. You need some Righteous Brothers: You've Lost that Lovin' Feeling in your life now ...just saying.
So glad you reacted to this version of the song. In this video you can really hear just how powerful of voice he had. He's also a judge on the Voice England. One year the son of the man that wrote this song was on the show. Since the man had the same last name Tom asked him if he know Lonnie Donegan and found out it was his son. They ended up singing this song together on the show.
Tom Jones and that lovely Welsh voice of his. He came from a great musical heritage, and really poured his heart into it. Great reaction! Tom was great for the love songs. :)
Ive been listening to Tom Jones for 50 years. He was one of my major influences in my development as a singer. He has a deep almost raspy voice, a welsh accent, and he likes to put a vibrato on almost every syllable
Tom rivals Elvis with the pure masculine power of his voice while also being adept at subtlety when needed. Both were the old school Panty Dropper Kings! Other great live Tom Jones songs sung live in 60's and 70's that you'd love....Deliah, I Who Have Nothing, Without Love among many others. The studio version of the later hit Sex Bomb is also great.
He has one of the best voices of our time... I loved him then and I still love him now. There will never be another Tom Jones. He was HOT before hot was fashionable. Keep singing Tom you will always be the best singer on the planet.
The guy who wrote this song for Sir Tom Jones he ran into his son on the voice and they both sang it on the show!!!!!!!!! His voice is still gold to this day!!!!!!!!!!
And now you know why so many of us reacted to your react (which was awesome). He has so many tremolo changes to go with that amazing voice. You mention studio audience performances. Oh yeah there are some from back in the day where he has very intimate reactions WITH the crowd. Again, as we say here in Texas; Y'all be safe. (Y'all can refer to one or many) 🙃🙃🙃🙃
now you need to hear him singing it, with the son of the man who wrote it, on the programme, 'the Voice'. he's in his 8os and still has the voice and all the class he ever had. when you got what he's got, you don't lose it.
At his peak, this guy was a king of the panty dropping club. During concerts, female fans would throw underwear and hotel keys on stage. He was also very close pals with Elvis. Imagine the reaction when both were just hanging out together. And yes, this was a live performance. Most audiences were respectful back then, they kept quiet until the end.
You're so great, Britt. I'm thrilled that you went back to grab the 1967 version. It seems to be the one far more commonly viewed, and it really shows off his raw talent brilliantly. It's funny that you would induct him into the "panty dropping" club, because at his live performances, women in the audience were constantly literally throwing pairs of panties up onto the stage. It became his trademark! 🤣
Ooooooweeeee! This! The song by Tom that sends me into a whole other dimension. Oh my goodness. I'm in my 60s now and remember him singing this on the TV in the 1960s. I was just a small child but, wow! It still gives me chills every time I hear this version. Just an incredible voice! Whew... Mmm, mmm, mmm... Just doesn't get any better than this, imho.
Tom was Born: June 7, 1940 - Married: Melinda Trenchard (m. 1957-2016) She Died: April 10, 2016... He'll be 83 this year (2023).... and he can still sing...
I watched this performance on the Dusty Springfield Show on TV when I was a kid. So if you liked this version in 1967 and also the version in 2007 then you will love the duet he sang with Peter Donegan in 2021 on UK TV. 83 years of age and still got it. What a man and what a voice...
A lot of years later, he became a coach on the The Voice UK. Jennifer Hudson was one for a while as well. If you have the urge to watch two of the greatest voices ever singing together, you should look up the clips of their apparently impromptu vocal jousts. Tom was a little past his best by then but I would have loved to hear those two sing together while both in their prime. It was pretty incredible anyway and you could see the mutual respect. One of the songs was “It’s a Mans World” and I can’t quite remember the other. Someone will let you know though.
He also did an awesome duet with Rhiannon Giddens at the (I think) 2015 Jools Holland New Year's Hootenanny... 'St. James Infirmary' - he sounds great with anyone.
Singing live., no autotune just the magic , brilliance and power of a voice like Sir Tom Jones. He is one of the very few artists whose voice hasnt lost its magnetism and strength as he has aged. Still knocking it out the park in his 80s and showing the younger generation how it should be done as a judge on The Voice UK
Tom Jones, the man, the legend... he's still going in his 80's. He's a judge on the talent show 'the voice' and amazingly still sings on nearly every episode. He's brilliant 👏
WooHoo 🙌 full body goosebumps 😁 I was 10 years old in 1967 and my mum thought he was amazing, me too but think I’m appreciating him more now 😂 I think ladies were throwing their panties on the stage for him. I’ve seen him on The Voice singing and he’s still got it 😁
I know you’ve reacted to it twice already, but the son of the man who wrote this song appeared on the voice and sang a duet of this song with him! It’s very good.
First time I heard Tom I was 8 years old in 1980 on a small radio in Africa when bombs and gunfire was outside. I thought he had the voice of an angel, I said to myself one day Im gonna sing like him...fast forward im 52 and our voice is very similar. But im shy and only sing in the house 😢. Great review! ❤
Tom Jones still has it l He's a judge on The Voice UK white hair and all. His voice is still the same Beautiful baritone and very active. one of my favorite songs, "Green, Green Grass of Home "
I was going to suggest that song for you to listen - I'm glad you did! I've heard Tom Jones recordings before and he had some hits in the 60's 70's and sounded great but someday I found this video and it made me play attention, WHAT A VOICE!! and you appreciate good music and vocals. The whole gamut of power, finesse, vocal range . . . . . . what a talent!!
This actually WAS on a show....live. I know you said you liked the version sung in Chile, but I am thinking you are liking this younger, more powerful version a pinch more. And to think, one take, no remake, no remix, no auto-tune. He and Elvis were really close. Although Elvis started before him, Tom seems to have picked up some of the mannerisms and body language from Elvis. Here is another video from Tom's t.v. show. It shows a little bit different side of him and will give you more of the point for him to be in the PDC. ua-cam.com/video/KkKTMoRs-TU/v-deo.html
I remember seeing him perform this on Dusty's show in 1967, it was a live studio broadcast audience and Orchestra at the BBC. In those days you could queue up and get a free ticket, or write to the BBC for tickets at the various BBC studios for different programs. l was working just around the corner at the time. And to be honest l went to see Dusty sing, l had no idea Tom was going to be there. There was no screaming because we were asked not to call out during all the performances and applause at the end or when someone held up a card or the 'applause' light came on ,asking you too ......🙂 Dusty was a great singer also. I watched many great performer for free like this. l saw Queen and many others on 'Top of the Pops' at BBC when they were just trying make their name in the world. It was no big deal at the time, now looking back, l was super lucky .....
Can i just say ive always loved Tom Jones and might i add you are a very stunning lady perfect to watch while this great music is playing. Im not a weirdo just appreciate beauty when i see it
Just 27 years old in this video with THAT voice. Elvis loved it and sought him out to meet when Tom was performing in Las Vegas and they became good friends. Can you imagine those two walking into anywhere together? Panties would be thrown at them for DAYS!
Elvis always my favorite. Didn't know until later that he and Elvis were friends so I got my sister and her husband tickets for Tom, but I didn't go. I did get to see Elvis with my Mommy in concert. Thrill of my life
Lovely, Britt! There's another performance of this...Tom on The Voice UK, around the age of 80, picking out the son of the man who composed this song (Lonnie Donegan) and inviting him to join Tom in singing the song together. Try not to cry when you watch Lonnie's wife, who was at the recording, react to the duo!
Britt, your channel just fell like a gift in my lap last week and I gotta say, I love you a little more every time I watch. ThanQ for putting these out!
The guy that wrote this for Tom (and sang with him for a while) passed, and recently his son auditioned for The Voice UK. Tom found out, and they did a duet on this. I think Tom was 81 at the time, and he’s still beyond incredible. The other judges worship him.
Love your reactions so much. So observant and playful at the same time. Your awareness of what makes music artists great v s. The mostly OK to good ones of today is refreshing. Cudis to you and your meteoric rise in subscriptions. I have to laugh though in general as to the general lack of awareness of the great music that emanated out of 50' s and 60' s and into the 70's. It would be awesome for the young to listen to some of the beautiful songs ever Keep up the great attitude as well as your musical aptitude. Warm regards, Gary from Oakville Ontario Canada.
He met the son of the composer of this song when he auditioned for The Voice UK. Sir Tom oblige when the contestant requested to sing it live on the spot and it was a real treat.
Tom and Elvis were good friends, they attended each others performances, hung out together, and went on vacations together.....2 greats!!!!! They could both draw you in, and make you drop to your knees...lol....enjoy!!!!

Tom Jones is Welsh. The Welsh are renowned as having some of the absolutely best singers on the planet.
That performance is what drew me to Tom Jones. No way you can't be moved by that ! Wow. And great reaction, fun as always. Thank you.
Rumor has it that his voice was so powerful it blew out the diaphragm of many microphones back in the day.
Now it is perfect time to see and hear Tom Jones sing this song with Piter Doneghan in VOICE... don't ask just... you wouldn't regret:))
Nobody could sing likeTom Jones. BrittReacts thank you for taking me back to a simpler time. First time here, can't wait to see your other vlogs
Glad you followed it up with this reaction. Tom Jones in his prime was awesome. You need some Righteous Brothers: You've Lost that Lovin' Feeling in your life now ...just saying.
I don't know about being a member of the PDC club, Tom should be the CEO
Tom Jones is the founding member !!!!!!
The proof of that is the number that used to be left on the stage when he left a live performance.
This man is legendary ... he put out so much good music that is unbelievable .......
This was live, the audience wanted to hear him sing!
I know, right? Those were the days, huh?
Tom Jones is one of a kind. One of the best singers of our times.

That was a epic moment for both.
Sigue teniendo una gran voz! Y no es la voz Inglaterra, es La Voz UK.
Fun Fact: In that Chile performance he was battling a cold, AND still sounded that good. G.O.A.T!
Watching your face takes me back 50+ years, watching my dear departed wife's face reacting to Tom Jones sing. You are in good company my dear.
I've been blessed to see Sir Tom Jones in concert twice - still the best voice I've ever heard "live" in concert.
You are right !! Love it !!
Tom Jones has such a rich powerful soulful voice thats totally unique to him. Even in his 80s he can still belt out a tune.
Tom Jones and that lovely Welsh voice of his. He came from a great musical heritage, and really poured his heart into it. Great reaction! Tom was great for the love songs. :)
Tom's voice is made of soul and velvet. Perfect pitch, feeling, power.
Ive been listening to Tom Jones for 50 years. He was one of my major influences in my development as a singer. He has a deep almost raspy voice, a welsh accent, and he likes to put a vibrato on almost every syllable
Truly a magical combination. 🎵🎶🎼
He’s still rolling strong on the international voice!
I’m so glad you saw this too! Knew you’d enjoy it!!
Tom rivals Elvis with the pure masculine power of his voice while also being adept at subtlety when needed. Both were the old school Panty Dropper Kings! Other great live Tom Jones songs sung live in 60's and 70's that you'd love....Deliah, I Who Have Nothing, Without Love among many others. The studio version of the later hit Sex Bomb is also great.
Listen to Elvis version of this song?
So happy you are doing more of Tom. Please have a look at I who have nothing from Tom especially his earlier performance.
He has one of the best voices of our time... I loved him then and I still love him now. There will never be another Tom Jones. He was HOT before hot was fashionable. Keep singing Tom you will always be the best singer on the planet.
Thank you for taking the suggestion of viewing his early powers/recording. Great job.

Wait until you see the song "Treat her Right" from the Tom Jones TV Show. You can see real time panties being dropped. ITS A MUST WATCH
Your reaction to this video is spot on Britt. Tom Jones is the president of the PD club Keep the reactions coming!
Elvis ans Tom were good friends so they can hang out in VIP together
You had one of the best genuine reactions. loved it.
You should listen to 'I (Who Have Nothing}' and 'Without Love' by him from his early years, although he still sounds good at over 80 years of age.
Tom Jones still has it l He's a judge on The Voice UK white hair and all. His voice is still the same Beautiful baritone and very active. one of my favorite songs, "Green, Green Grass of Home "
If you want to see women reacting to Sir Tom, live, watch 'Treat Her Right', from the Tom Jones T.V. show.
That's the one! (Big) Band is killing it too!
I was going to suggest that song for you to listen - I'm glad you did! I've heard Tom Jones recordings before and he had some hits in the 60's 70's and sounded great but someday I found this video and it made me play attention, WHAT A VOICE!! and you appreciate good music and vocals. The whole gamut of power, finesse, vocal range . . . . . . what a talent!!
If you want a fun duet .. listen to a youngTom and a young Stevie Wonder singing on his tv show. They sound sooo good together.
One of his all time best performances! What a Voice!
This actually WAS on a show....live. I know you said you liked the version sung in Chile, but I am thinking you are liking this younger, more powerful version a pinch more. And to think, one take, no remake, no remix, no auto-tune. He and Elvis were really close. Although Elvis started before him, Tom seems to have picked up some of the mannerisms and body language from Elvis.
Here is another video from Tom's t.v. show. It shows a little bit different side of him and will give you more of the point for him to be in the PDC. ua-cam.com/video/KkKTMoRs-TU/v-deo.html
I remember seeing him perform this on Dusty's show in 1967, it was a live studio broadcast audience and Orchestra at the BBC. In those days you could queue up and get a free ticket, or write to the BBC for tickets at the various BBC studios for different programs. l was working just around the corner at the time. And to be honest l went to see Dusty sing, l had no idea Tom was going to be there. There was no screaming because we were asked not to call out during all the performances and applause at the end or when someone held up a card or the 'applause' light came on ,asking you too ......🙂 Dusty was a great singer also.
I watched many great performer for free like this. l saw Queen and many others on 'Top of the Pops' at BBC when they were just trying make their name in the world. It was no big deal at the time, now looking back, l was super lucky .....
Can i just say ive always loved Tom Jones and might i add you are a very stunning lady perfect to watch while this great music is playing. Im not a weirdo just appreciate beauty when i see it
Just 27 years old in this video with THAT voice. Elvis loved it and sought him out to meet when Tom was performing in Las Vegas and they became good friends. Can you imagine those two walking into anywhere together? Panties would be thrown at them for DAYS!
Elvis always my favorite. Didn't know until later that he and Elvis were friends so I got my sister and her husband tickets for Tom, but I didn't go. I did get to see Elvis with my Mommy in concert. Thrill of my life
that’s awesome you got to see Elvis live !
Britt, I sure hope your significant other knows how blessed they really are. You are beautiful inside and out!
I love your reviews. Thanks.
thank you so much!!
Lovely, Britt! There's another performance of this...Tom on The Voice UK, around the age of 80, picking out the son of the man who composed this song (Lonnie Donegan) and inviting him to join Tom in singing the song together. Try not to cry when you watch Lonnie's wife, who was at the recording, react to the duo!
I love Sir Tom Jones, he's absolutely amazing 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
poverty always calls to his maker for a voice like that 🇬🇧🏴❤️
Love your reactions honey.Tom is a living Legend one of the most amazing Voices of the century still alive and going today.
Britt, your channel just fell like a gift in my lap last week and I gotta say, I love you a little more every time I watch. ThanQ for putting these out!
Beautiful song and amazing artist 🎉
Powerful and soft and sweet right there ...........Wales Land of my Fathers
He’s phenomenal. I saw his concert a few years ago at Foxwoods and he’s still amazing. He sang his older songs and new ones.❤❤
This is live. This man's voice. Big, strong, powerful.
The guy that wrote this for Tom (and sang with him for a while) passed, and recently his son auditioned for The Voice UK. Tom found out, and they did a duet on this. I think Tom was 81 at the time, and he’s still beyond incredible. The other judges worship him.
omgoodness -- all your little face scrunches and expressions are killin me! Exactly how I looked when I first reacted to hearing him too!
...Tom from Wales. Something in their environment or eat/drink. They have amazing voices...Peace🤙☝️😌
Love your reactions so much. So observant and playful at the same time. Your awareness of what makes music artists great v s. The mostly OK to good ones of today is refreshing.
Cudis to you and your meteoric rise in subscriptions.
I have to laugh though in general as to the general lack of awareness of the great music that emanated out of 50' s and 60' s and into the 70's.
It would be awesome for the young to listen to some of the beautiful songs ever
Keep up the great attitude as well as your musical aptitude.
Warm regards, Gary from Oakville Ontario Canada.
Hi..loved your reaction..abit of thirsty eyes huh..ha..many woman swoon at his voice..vibe..looks..thanks for authentic reaction!
Tom Jones is so awesome. It’s totally rad that the younger generation is discovering him. Peace from California 🕺❤
He met the son of the composer of this song when he auditioned for The Voice UK. Sir Tom oblige when the contestant requested to sing it live on the spot and it was a real treat.
Tom and Elvis were good friends, they attended each others performances, hung out together, and went on vacations together.....2 greats!!!!! They could both draw you in, and make you drop to your knees...lol....enjoy!!!!
