I've seen this many times, but I still cried today watching this, and I'm a dude who normally does not cry. I imagined how Tom Jones felt singing with his friend songwriter's son and how the son felt singing the song his dad wrote for Tom Jones, the wonderful "I'm never gonna fall in love again" classic hit which was HUGE when it came out. And yes, as someone said below, I believe Tom Jones was crying and fighting back tears as he sang. Jennifer Hudson saw this and was supporting Tom Jones to get through the emotions. She cheered him on. Tom Jones is a legend. I love his voice, which he preserved beautifully.
I love that Tom chose this moment to give tribute to his friend by singing a duet with his son. Something he might not have been able to do when he died.

There are great singers and then there are legends. Jennifer Hudson looks at Tom Jones and you can tell in her expression, she's looking at a legend singing.
Same thing with Oly Murs. He is just sitting there taking it in. Not many performers have a voice that strong, let alone a presence and career as that.
Men don't really start losing their voice until they are in their 80's/90's as long as they keep using it. Women lose it so much earlier even when they use it regularly. It's really not fair.
When Lonnie Donegan wrote "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" for Sir Tom Jones more than half a century ago, he could have never had imagined this magical scene happening five decades later. His son fatefully encounter on the Voice the legend Sir Tom, for whom this piece was written, and they instantly perform with no rehearsal at all, yet with absolute amazement, as it was meant to be. This beautiful song became a true legacy from Lonnie not only to Peter and Sir Tom Jones, but to all of us who were mesmerized by their magical performance. Truly a moment to remember and pay my respects to all.
A mistaken memory here from Tom. Lonnie Donegan had written AND recorded the song five years before Tom's version but it had bombed in the UK charts. Some years later after Tom hit the big time they became friends and at Lonnie's house near London, he pulled out his old record and said "you should do this" Rest is history.
I know everyone keeps saying this was such a magical moment for Peter, but think how amazing it must have made Tom feel as well. He is in his 80's, and has had (still has?) A long wonderful career in music, but as an old man it was probably so wonderful for him to sing with an old friend's son. He will always remember that for the rest of his life.
What a precious moment, especially for his Mom. I mean her beloved Husband wrote the Song in 1967 for Tom Jones and now her Son sings it together with him. A very special moment.
It can't be overstated just how important Lonnie was in Brit Rock/Pop with so many wannabes first picking up a guitar to emulate him, the Beatles et al. Remember, Lennon had first started with skiffle and Macca joined him. He set so many on the road to stardom.
Well, he has a microphone, it's a body mic. That little thing attached to his coat is a body mic, used so his voice is picked up without having to carry one of those big mics around, or worry about a table mic breaking on the turning chair
@@TM-iq6sx I never denied that, my guy, I was just saying 🤣🤣 Nothing wrong with teaching someone something, and, if they have a problem with it, I will apologize for it. No need to come at me 🤣
Sir Tom Jones is a very humble person. He remembered his old friend and he also asked Peter if they can sing together and let Peter sang too. And it's a magical moment that sir Tom Jones was the first one and the only one who pushed the button and turned the chair..👍🙏
He was definitely told by production, and they obviously practiced this, else how did he know when to come in? All this is staged... Wake up it's not a magical moment it's a manufactured one 😁
@@bigsteve6729 Hush Darlin', it's perfectly fine to engineer magical moments, if that is indeed what happened. No one ever said magic took no work luv. ^~^ Also, just my opinion, but it truly seemed to me like the performer and the band were following the lead of Sir Tom Jones. The contestant was a half-step behind while Jones had the band knowing what was going on because he set the tone, so to speak, just my own thoughts on it. I like how the contestant finally saud "F^$# It" though and let himself go ahead to do his own thing with Sir Jones.
I get chills listening to the video; I can’t imagine what the live audience felt when he started singing, and then when they harmonized? Full body shiver for me!
And above all - impromptu, unreversed, with Peter over the other side of the studio and barely able to see Tom. No time to work out parts etc, he only had time to ask the key and they were off. Better TV than the auditions.
I seen the 2020 version of Tom Jones singing it and saying how he didn't pick him like people thought he was it was set up so he picked him but he had no idea
@@marshaneedham880 Peter said the same in his video, that Tom didnt knew who was behind him before he said his lastname.. And I do believe him. But yeah its allmost too good to be true :)
@Beverley Ibrahim Tbh. No idea who she is and never heard her. Tom, i never bought a single album, never searched him but could say it was him as a child. The ones you can compared him to is bands or singers known thru all ages (ac/dc, Sabbath, Metallica etc)
I keep returning to this wonderful video...but I cringe when Jennifer says to Tom.."take your time"😮...as if he doesn't know what he's doing by now!!!😂...
One of the best ever written... Performed by one of the best singers, Tom Jones. RIP Lonnie Donegan, even if he had only written this one song it would have been enough.
I grew up listening to Lonnie all the old songs my dad had all of them . Si glad to see his son is also singing great voice as well . Like Father Like son .
@@brianburkhard5209 its amazing to think about a time where you actually had to be talented to become a star. Not some digitally produce half talents that flood our charts today
Hello amazing fan. It has come to my notice that some of my fans thinks I was the person who died. Late jones was The one who conceived the twist on Romeo and Juliet with composer John Donald Robb. He died 11th August, of cancer in his home in Sharon. I’m still alive and much healthy. Thanks dear fan…
That song still can be heard in our local radio stations all over the archipelago every sunday. Tom Jones still rockin the radio here in The Philippines. 😍😭 I'm crying..
Such a powerhouse..STILL. No auto tune, no gimmicks...just a clear powerful voice. John Farnham, Steve Perry, Tom and Freddie Mercury. All insanely powerful voices.
Sir Tom, has the heart of a lion! And he appreciated the son of Lonnie Donegan and he sung the song that Lonnie Donegan wrote for him with his son finally after all years.

I'm an old American Marine Corps veteran I'm still crying.. he said his dad was his best friend Dads should comfort and protect.. good to know that they're out there, my dad beat my mom and my brothers and sisters and me..
Magical.. one of the best duets I’ve ever heard ❤️.. the world use to be at a standstill on Sundays. At my house when the Tom Jones show would come on.. my momma, auntie and me were glued to the black and white tv.. I needed earplugs because they were screaming the whole time! Greatest memories of my Manoula and Thea..🧿🇬🇷 Greeks for Tom Jones or in my moms accent Tommie Tsonez
I've watched the blind auditions of The Voice UK on YT from the 2012-2013 to the more recent ones, and the band and audio crew of the UK version always struck me as insanely good musically as well as in sound quality and balance
@Arghishable I've always said you need to be a quality musician to make it as a session musician. More so than to be in a chart topping band. The vast majority of these guys and girls are extremely good at what they do.
That seriously made me cry, what a beautiful tribute to his dad. That was so hard for mum, she’s probably never fallen truly in love again as she did for Lonnie.
That wasn't an audition, that was a pure magical moment. As I'm typing, he said the words I was going to type so I guess I won't do it. That had me in tears. I had a crush on Tom Jones back in the early 70's. His career was hot at the time, and he proved here that he still has that same beautiful voice from so long ago.
@@BroskiShortz The contestants registered the songs they'll perform so the band will practice before the show. Of course, they'll surely knows many songs through experience which makes it easier for them and practice only to make sure there's no slip up during the real show. But, other than the contestant's audition performance the band is really awesome to know and perform songs that are not even planned to be performed at first. Maybe a bit improv that deviate from the original to match the singers but even so it is really awesome.
@@joshuaamadeusishak1887 Also some of the musicians in this band regularly tour with Tom Jones so that helps too ;-) They are some of the best session Musicians in London - Scott Mckeon, Ben Jones and Ash Soan
@@joshuaamadeusishak1887 Not to mention that the producers knew who Peter's father was (it was in his video bio) and will have known that Tom performed one of Lonnie's songs, so would likely have forewarned them. I'd guess that Peter also practiced it in advance of the audition on the off-chance that a situation like this might come up. As an aside, without wanting to sound conspiratorial, watching the way that the other judges were encouraging Sir Tom to hit the button without hitting their own does suggest that even if Sir Tom hadn't been briefed, perhaps they had. Particularly when you consider Will's comment about this being "magical" came across as a little bit forced. Sir Tom's apparent surprise at Peter's comment about playing it on the piano does, at least, suggest that Sir Tom himself wasn't briefed in advance.
For Tom to sing with Lonnie's Son the song that Lonnie wrote for and played with Tom - I'm not crying, you are crying. This is without a doubt, one of the greatest moments EVER on any voice audition. OMG -this is the highlight of my day, love these two. Rest in Peace Lonnie, knowing that your Son picked up the torch and is doing you proud.
This man is Icon, Legend. You can see it in Toms eyes when he is looking at Peter..this is a moment they will treasure forever. Tom, that is why you are a Sir.
Meanwhile, Tom lets his own son starve and be homeless because Tom feels like his Son's mom swindled him. That has nothing to do with the son and Tom should help the poor boy who literally has to busk in the streets. Tom gives one son everything and the other one nothing. So mean...
His rendition back in the day should go down as one of the classics, and never to be topped. Having said that, this version has a depth of feeling only an older singer with his experience could produce. Both gave me goosbumps. Well done Tom!
Tom Jones is an absolute legend , And what he did there was a touch of class which can never be taken away , For a young man who has lost his father its a reminder that his father has left a legacy , something that can't be forgotten , And for Tom a chance to pay a tribute to an old friend. Brilliant moment!!!
Just saw this for the first time. Can't believe it was two years ago and I hadn't heard it yet. A simply amazing performance of a classic Sir Tom Jones song. The spontaneous magic between him and Peter Donegan was breathtaking... it touched my soul.
I’m 85 years old I loved Lonnie Donegan I also love Sir Tom Jones great singers in their own way Rest in peace Lonnie Sir Tom you are Looking Fabulous stay healthy and keep singing kindest Regards Agnes Nisbet from Glenrothes Fife in Scotland
His son would be proud... because he is the only candidate that commanded the longest time for audition and sang duet with a Tom Jones singing a song that his father wrote for Tom Jones....all in that Audition. That was the best Voice Audition in my opinion
my dad was a fan of tom jones..when i'm in my childhood..I'm wondering why my father like him..but in my 30 years old..I'm realized why my dad like him..such a powerful and beautifull voice...now i'm 41..I'm big fan of you sir Tom
@@marmite. I would probably need to look up some of their songs, but I've certainly heard of Lonnie Donegan & The Springfields. John Peel mentioned them in one of the guidebooks he wrote, about Supermarionation, setting the scene for the times.
@@DavidBDavis-lz7bt Guess you're not a Brit, David.... Lonnie Donegan was huge in the UK, 1956 - 60, the reason so many kids picked up a guitar, an influence on all that happened behind the rise in the 'Invasion' and later Brit pop. The Beatles, Stones, Floyd, you name them, all acknowledged that.
This is the duet in the Voice that will be remembered for a long, long time. Tom Jones, you are incredible not only as a singer but as a man with a kind, humble and grateful heart. Peter Donegan, your composer-friend's son, and his family will treasure this magical moment for the rest of their lives.
What We’re The Chances Of Tom Jones Doing A Song 🎶 🎵 With His Best Friend’s Son No Body Could Do That But God They Both Needed That , They Filled Each Other Hearts 🥰 ❤️ Up With Love 💕
It was truly a incredible heartwarming moment when Tom the only one turned around to find out that this young man is the son of the man that wrote for Tom Jones the unforgettable song "I Think I Never fall In Love Again" It truly touched my heart as well .
It looks like and sounds like Tom started to cry..I think this was emotional for him. 😢

Because if he died he be dead :\
Tom needs to be kinder to his own son, he is an awful father
@@paullambert7110 Yes, that was a really bad misspeak on his part.
@@Joskemom ?
Sir Tom is literally like a fine wine. Gets better and better with age.
My thoughts exactly!
literally
Luckily I'm a man, phew!
You mean his voice ?
No it's not true sir Tom was far better in his prime
One of the best auditions ever.
Man, 80 years old, and Tom's voice still carries like that.
My dad fave singer ❤️
Not many people can maintain a voice like that! Bravo!!!!
As Tom said despite his age, his career is still going and he hasn't stopped singing and its use it or lose it.
That is true, excellent 🌹❣️
He is the GOAT. The man is absolutely a timeless treasure.
This has to be one of the most magical moments on the Voice.

Absolutely agree ❤️🎶 How special 😍👌🏽
We heard you the first 3 times Will...
Absolutely Awesome

The way Tom looked at Peter singing it’s like he saw his old friend. You can just see it in his eyes. Special moment for both.
I commented this more or less on tiktok...
Yes I saw this as well. Two generations,one song.

So true
The soul in his voice is just...
Same thing with Oly Murs. He is just sitting there taking it in. Not many performers have a voice that strong, let alone a presence and career as that.
Jennifer will be in that class one day
Unlike many artists, Tom hasn’t lost a single bit of his voice.
What a special tone Tom has. Very unique and so strong too. Incredible thing to see.
Amazing to hear him sing that well at 78 years old! Absolutely incredible.
Men don't really start losing their voice until they are in their 80's/90's as long as they keep using it.
Women lose it so much earlier even when they use it regularly. It's really not fair.
I would say he is an old-school singer. One of the best one, and last one.
It shows how he’s looked after it over the years.

Las vueltas del Destino... que maravilloso. Además Sir Tom Jones le hace un reconocimiento a Lonnie Donegan. Bendiciones Sir Tom
I listened to Lonnie singing, I’ll never fall in love again and can definitely hear the resemblance in their voices. No wonder Tom turned.

Agreed! I always loved Tom and he still has it! ❤️
It's very touching 🥺
Ever notice how much respect the other judges give Tom Jones. He's just someone that you can help but respect
Yes!
I have a question though: How is it possible to not lose A SINGLE bit of your voice after SO LONG???
@@yoitsAndy1 in my humble opinion
That’s was authentic singing
I think Jennifer Hudson has gotten better over the years too

What a precious moment, especially for his Mom.
I mean her beloved Husband wrote the Song in 1967 for Tom Jones and now her Son sings it together with him. A very special moment.
Yes it was special but Lonnie wrote it for himself and put his own record out in 1962. Tom mis-remembered this.
Indeed
Amazing
It can't be overstated just how important Lonnie was in Brit Rock/Pop with so many wannabes first picking up a guitar to emulate him, the Beatles et al. Remember, Lennon had first started with skiffle and Macca joined him. He set so many on the road to stardom.
I think thats a sister..
You could see it in Tom's face he was proud of his friends son.
I’ve watched this a few times & again 7/18/24! I still believe on occasion the other judges do Not turn out of respect for Sir Tom Jones!
That's why he turned around, who are the other people 😂
Hearing Mr. Jones sing that way and without a microphone, is something indescribable; what a way to sing and what power of voice...my respects.
Well, he has a microphone, it's a body mic. That little thing attached to his coat is a body mic, used so his voice is picked up without having to carry one of those big mics around, or worry about a table mic breaking on the turning chair

2 things about Tom Jones,
1) He has the most amazing stories
2) He just belts it out, no warm up, any time any place
LEGEND :)
Facts. When you have it, you just have it
And he doesn't need an earpiece or anything else...
Without any warm up!
Tom Jones, the rarest of stars, massive talent but not a massive ego.
Ponty boy,through,and through
Sir Tom Jones is a living legend and we're so blessed that we can hear him singing for such a long time!
Tom used to be a baller with elvis back in the day he settled down when he hit 70 hahahah

They obviously don't have a great ear😮
@@gailhancocks5207 dont think so, i just think they realized Sir is the best fit for this voice so they just give up

Definetely he is❣may he rest in peace🙏

Tom Jones, what a unique tone and so powerful. He is a true singer.
@@brianburkhard5209 its amazing to think about a time where you actually had to be talented to become a star. Not some digitally produce half talents that flood our charts today
Well that's true due to the simple fact he can actually sing unlike the others.
The love in toms eyes when he sang with him was like 2 old friends who lost touch reconnected for just a moment ❤ that hits the soul different ❤❤
Hello amazing fan.
It has come to my notice that some of my fans thinks I was the person who died. Late jones was The one who conceived the twist on Romeo and Juliet with composer John Donald Robb.
He died 11th August, of cancer in his home in Sharon. I’m still alive and much healthy.
Thanks dear fan…
The look of admiration and love in Mums eye....says it all
The way Tom looked at Peter was priceless.
That song still can be heard in our local radio stations all over the archipelago every sunday. Tom Jones still rockin the radio here in The Philippines. 😍😭 I'm crying..
Tomorrow is sundays best..tom jones songs
😭😭😭
watch this video for, I don't know, hundred times...?? and still awesome...!! so touching... 😘 😭😭😭
i'm crying too
Yes he is and after a few drinks of red horse the karaoke goes to Delilah and everyone sings!!
After all these years, Tom's voice is still strong.
Such a powerhouse..STILL. No auto tune, no gimmicks...just a clear powerful voice. John Farnham, Steve Perry, Tom and Freddie Mercury. All insanely powerful voices.
Right!🔥
@@suzyfarnham3165 Love John Farnham and Freddie Mercury!
Legendary voice of molten gold still runnin ⁰
Absolutely. Still has a great voice ❤
Sir Tom, has the heart of a lion! And he appreciated the son of Lonnie Donegan and he sung the song that Lonnie Donegan wrote
for him with his son finally after all years.
When he stood up ... I see all the respect and tribute he's showing for his friend❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙌🙌
Yes
Great call Georgina, great call👍
i think he stood up so he could really blast that song and truly give tribute, real moments wont happen like that soon.
WOW, beautiful song!!!
Tom gave his all even in his 80's to honour a friend and his family ... This is pure wholesomeness
Sir Tom Jones sings better today, at his age, than most young recording artists we have today. Simply a wonderful moment.
So true. I will be seeing in in October in Texas
🎯💯💯💯💯🌟
Es verdad es una gran voz inigualable como la de Elvis Presley
there are artists who are like good old wine, the older it gets the better this one is
AGREED
One of the greatest singers to ever come out of Britain, during the British Invasion..
I've been listening to Tom Jones since I was 13 years old, I'm now 71. He's still has a fantastic voice.

When the drummer couldn't let himself just listen and he join the best.. My goodness!!! what an amazing performance.... indeed its magical!!!
He is an :
HONORABLE MAN
It was
Exactly he entered to the party in the perfect moment
I love how Peter says "That's my Dad" with a lot of proud and love! This audition made me cry 💕
me too
@@erikhoppenbrouwers3036 Tom knew before he hit his button who it was. It's pathetic to try and fool us into thinking this was all spontaneous.
@@baz810 bitter
@@baz810 Haha....keep telling yourself that....chill
Yes, made me cry too!!! Beautiful moments!❤
You can tell that Tom is reminiscing his times when he sung this song, and he genuinely looked emotional. Bless him
This will always remain one of the best moments EVER on The Voice.
Ever in the whole world of musicality, the love, the awe, the respect and the sheer emotional wonderfulness of it all. Perfection 😍
Absolutely.
From south africa by far the best audition ever
I'm an old American Marine Corps veteran I'm still crying.. he said his dad was his best friend Dads should comfort and protect.. good to know that they're out there, my dad beat my mom and my brothers and sisters and me..
That was a priceless moment. And Tom Jones hasn't lost one iota of his talent and chops, despite the years. Legend.
A pride look in Tom eyes when Peter starts to singing the next verse..
Magical.. one of the best duets I’ve ever heard ❤️.. the world use to be at a standstill on Sundays. At my house when the Tom Jones show would come on.. my momma, auntie and me were glued to the black and white tv.. I needed earplugs because they were screaming the whole time! Greatest memories of my Manoula and Thea..🧿🇬🇷 Greeks for Tom Jones or in my moms accent Tommie Tsonez
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
😊
When Tom stood I became very emotional. And the respect and awe Jennifer showed, shows what a generous, humble person she is.
Indeed, humble. That was a sweet, respectful look of a fan admiring greatness.
@@bradsweeney4536 An Artist respecting another Artist.
This man invoked a round of applause just from standing up
What a legend
@@glennruscher4007 An artist respecting a LEGEND.
The look Tom gives him when he starts singing at the piano is so beautiful. He's so proud for this man and probably sees his father in him
I am so glad that it was only Tom that turned around like it was meant to be
Magical moment really amazing
TOM,, BESTIA CON SU VOS,,INIGUALABLE....OJALA LO TENGAMOS X MUCHOS AÑOS MAS
yeah i saw that right as the flood gates opened. that was tremendous
@@jasondamrau9147 Those other judges don't understand "real music".
Teary eyed when the son meet his second father.. 🥰
I think for everyone watching that incredible moment
Yes..
When Tom turns around, you know you have something special 👏🏻
Somethings are meant to be. Like the others said, he heard something in that voice that struck a chord with him.
What a professional band. After hearing the first verse, the band comes right in and follows along!
Yeah, noticed that and also, just for an instant at 9:03, the look on the bands directors face when he knew the duo had aced it.
I've watched the blind auditions of The Voice UK on YT from the 2012-2013 to the more recent ones, and the band and audio crew of the UK version always struck me as insanely good musically as well as in sound quality and balance
Professional 💪💪
@Arghishable I've always said you need to be a quality musician to make it as a session musician. More so than to be in a chart topping band. The vast majority of these guys and girls are extremely good at what they do.
Right!?!?!? The drummer knew just when to jump in. Absolutely loved that
That seriously made me cry, what a beautiful tribute to his dad. That was so hard for mum, she’s probably never fallen truly in love again as she did for Lonnie.
Same
Imstill sobbing
Absolutely
I cried a lot
same here
Peter’s smile when Tom was telling him a story about his dad 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Hello Cara-Marie thanks for your comments and support I really do appreciate❤️
Im so glad that I grew up when great singers like Tom jones were performing
That wasn't an audition, that was a pure magical moment. As I'm typing, he said the words I was going to type so I guess I won't do it. That had me in tears. I had a crush on Tom Jones back in the early 70's. His career was hot at the time, and he proved here that he still has that same beautiful voice from so long ago.
Wow, wow and Wow
Been playing this several times, love the duet. Glad Tom pressed the bottom, that was a pure real moment ! Thanks to both of you !
Awesome
I just wanna shout out to the musicians in the back. They know every song people throw at them. Even when it’s not planned!! Talent
That's why they are called session musicians...professional. Knowing every song is part of their job.
@@BroskiShortz The contestants registered the songs they'll perform so the band will practice before the show. Of course, they'll surely knows many songs through experience which makes it easier for them and practice only to make sure there's no slip up during the real show. But, other than the contestant's audition performance the band is really awesome to know and perform songs that are not even planned to be performed at first. Maybe a bit improv that deviate from the original to match the singers but even so it is really awesome.
@@joshuaamadeusishak1887 Also some of the musicians in this band regularly tour with Tom Jones so that helps too ;-) They are some of the best session Musicians in London - Scott Mckeon, Ben Jones and Ash Soan
@@joshuaamadeusishak1887 Not to mention that the producers knew who Peter's father was (it was in his video bio) and will have known that Tom performed one of Lonnie's songs, so would likely have forewarned them. I'd guess that Peter also practiced it in advance of the audition on the off-chance that a situation like this might come up.
As an aside, without wanting to sound conspiratorial, watching the way that the other judges were encouraging Sir Tom to hit the button without hitting their own does suggest that even if Sir Tom hadn't been briefed, perhaps they had. Particularly when you consider Will's comment about this being "magical" came across as a little bit forced. Sir Tom's apparent surprise at Peter's comment about playing it on the piano does, at least, suggest that Sir Tom himself wasn't briefed in advance.
Not only any song - but in any key as well.
For Tom to sing with Lonnie's Son the song that Lonnie wrote for and played with Tom - I'm not crying, you are crying. This is without a doubt, one of the greatest moments EVER on any voice audition. OMG -this is the highlight of my day, love these two. Rest in Peace Lonnie, knowing that your Son picked up the torch and is doing you proud.
You’re right, I am absolutely bawling my eyes out
It's something special it's actually magical who says God doesn't exist this proves that theory wrong .watch this you know there is a God
@@joecelozzi305 Lonnie recorded and released this in 1961, years before Tom was famous.
Indeed one of the greatest moments ever in the VOICE
💯
Shed a tear watching this...
RIP to all our lost loved ones😢
Tom Jones voice stands out so much just like Elvis Presley. You just know that voice!!! Love Tom Jones
Such a legend. My Idol Mr. Tom Jones.
They were close friends
The way Tom Jones looked at him.. is the way proud Father would look at his Son..❤️ wow thank you for the likes
@Christoph Bärwinkel ikr
@Christoph Bärwinkel 1
A real moment. A really great moment.
@@chairde yes.. makes me wonder about destiny 🤔
So true 💞
This man is Icon, Legend. You can see it in Toms eyes when he is looking at Peter..this is a moment they will treasure forever. Tom, that is why you are a Sir.
Meanwhile, Tom lets his own son starve and be homeless because Tom feels like his Son's mom swindled him. That has nothing to do with the son and Tom should help the poor boy who literally has to busk in the streets. Tom gives one son everything and the other one nothing. So mean...
His rendition back in the day should go down as one of the classics, and never to be topped. Having said that, this version has a depth of feeling only an older singer with his experience could produce. Both gave me goosbumps. Well done Tom!
The lesson here is that great man never forgets the people that they encountered in their life
This would be an instant hit if they actually sang this song as a duet. There voices compliments each other... harmoniously beautiful ❤
Agreeeed!
They did do it as a duet though.
Or do you mean if they recorded it in a studio setting?
@@cherishedvalor yes a proper studio recording and released as a single 👍
I would buy it and play it on my radio program.
Tom Jones is an absolute legend , And what he did there was a touch of class which can never be taken away , For a young man who has lost his father its a reminder that his father has left a legacy , something that can't be forgotten , And for Tom a chance to pay a tribute to an old friend. Brilliant moment!!!
Just saw this for the first time. Can't believe it was two years ago and I hadn't heard it yet. A simply amazing performance of a classic Sir Tom Jones song. The spontaneous magic between him and Peter Donegan was breathtaking... it touched my soul.
I’m 85 years old I loved Lonnie Donegan I also love Sir Tom Jones great singers in their own way Rest in peace Lonnie Sir Tom you are Looking Fabulous stay healthy and keep singing kindest Regards Agnes Nisbet from Glenrothes Fife in Scotland
Sr.Tom chose the person to turn his chair around for, it was magic and beautiful to watch and hear them sing together.
His son would be proud... because he is the only candidate that commanded the longest time for audition and sang duet with a Tom Jones singing a song that his father wrote for Tom Jones....all in that Audition. That was the best Voice Audition in my opinion
I have to agree with you on that, super audition
Lovely
Indeed, very breathtaking.
Agree
The best audition, and the best duet I ever heard,
One of the best moments ever on any version of The Voice.
Truly heartwarming to see the beautiful exchange between the two musicians with a father & songwriter in common.
I'll second that emotion!
What a truly beautiful moment. Tom's voice gets better and better
No. On TV period.
@@rogerlephoque3704 I agree!
my dad was a fan of tom jones..when i'm in my childhood..I'm wondering why my father like him..but in my 30 years old..I'm realized why my dad like him..such a powerful and beautifull voice...now i'm 41..I'm big fan of you sir Tom
Right away Tom remembers his father. But this guy is already a pro.
Lonny was a big name/still is to everyone at that time..
@@marmite. I would probably need to look up some of their songs, but I've certainly heard of Lonnie Donegan & The Springfields. John Peel mentioned them in one of the guidebooks he wrote, about Supermarionation, setting the scene for the times.
@@DavidBDavis-lz7bt Guess you're not a Brit, David.... Lonnie Donegan was huge in the UK, 1956 - 60, the reason so many kids picked up a guitar, an influence on all that happened behind the rise in the 'Invasion' and later Brit pop. The Beatles, Stones, Floyd, you name them, all acknowledged that.
When the Magic happens no one can explain. His father was around making that moment perfect.
That was the best ❤️
It's true❤️
Tom ready to sing like that at any given moment and while sitting......what a guy
I feel like Mr.Donegan came to Earth for a breaf momments and whispered in Tom's ear...hey that's my son, our music lives on him tourn around
I agree. This was beyond chance.
I agree, devine intervention
Agreed
This is the duet in the Voice that will be remembered for a long, long time. Tom Jones, you are incredible not only as a singer but as a man with a kind, humble and grateful heart. Peter Donegan, your composer-friend's son, and his family will treasure this magical moment for the rest of their lives.
This was an incredible moment. If you wrote it in a script, no one would believe it.
That was a 1 in a million moments. Tom’s voice just hits you so hard and deep. The two of them singing together wow.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
As strong as ever!
What We’re The Chances Of Tom Jones Doing A Song 🎶 🎵 With His Best Friend’s Son No Body Could Do That But God They Both Needed That , They Filled Each Other Hearts 🥰 ❤️ Up With Love 💕
God bless Tom.
The Emotional duet that the people all over that world shocked and cried.
I second that emotion.
Me too
And me
So true 😍
It's like the stars are all aligned and fate brings these two together through a song.
This wasn't just magical, it's was one of the most incredible moments ever to happen.. Wow what a moment.
Absolutely, tremendous!
Peter you already win...that’s far more memorable than the actual win... that experience is already a huge accomplishment in itself 🙌
Can't even count how many times I've watched this clip and everytime I do, I land up crying. Long live you, sir Tom Jones
I cry every time. Beautiful. Sir Tom and this magical moment.
I watch this at least 10xs a day lol
I watch it all the time too
miss, the song hasn’t even started i have already started crying from excitement lmao🤣😭
@@melanied5634 me too lol
It was truly a incredible heartwarming moment when Tom the only one turned around to find out that this young man is the son of the man that wrote for Tom Jones the unforgettable song "I Think I Never fall In Love Again" It truly touched my heart as well .
