Music like that doesn't exist anymore. No voice enhancers, no synthesizers, no light shows. Just RAW TALENT. BOTH EPIC "unplugged".

Janis loved Tom Jones so much and the feeling was mutual. Tom Jones to this day mentions her when talking about powerhouse singers. This is why this is just fire!

This is like you've gone to church, people!!! Raise your hands and get in the spirit! Tom is the man. The best of the best. Incomparable! Janis Joplin....DITTO! Together.....NO WORDS!

Age has not detracted from his voice at all, it has enriched and given his voice a depth and warmth, long may it continue.

What makes this so Special too, is that Janis & Tom aren't performing, but rather just enjoying singing & dancing together !

You two are old souls going back to the old music of the day. You love this era and it's cool to watch

Janis Joplin and Tom Jones; two of the sexiest singers ever! Not just looks, but vibe, voices, auras, EVERYTHING!

You guys are GREAT, we have so much FUN with YOU! Yes, music is bringing is all together, and it's truly marvelous! What's wonderful for all us BOOMERS is you are discovering the music we grew up with. We get to reminisce while you discover, and it all comes together with worldwide feelings of JOY!

I love seeing the joy in Amber's face. As a boomer who also loves Janis this reaction is one of my favorites.

Youre both so sweet. As for the Song. Janis was such a force, not many men wood have dare to be with her on stage.

This performance is an example of how incredibly versatile Tom Jones is. Other examples are his duets with Stevie Wonder and Wilson Picket, and as of late, his duets with Jennifer Hudson.

He has said he has no fear of singing with other people. You can do that when you have the power of Tom's voice. Others shy away from the fear of appearing lacking alongside other singers. Tom also said he loves all genres of music, and that is one of the other reasons he has performed with so many other singers. Elvis considered Tom one of the best singers that he had come across. He would go nearly every night to Tom's shows when he was performing in Las Vegas.

You guys were born 40 years to late the 50s, 60s, 70s the early 80s best musicians best shows all talent no autotune..

i remember when this was live on the Tom Jones show my mom loved him and Janis too like we all did . when they did this duet my whole family was up and dancing , jumping up and down in the living room except for my dad who just sat drinking his beer laughing and enjoying the whole scene .those were great times a very special time, i really miss those days...

Just went to church ☮️🥰🔥🕺💃 Love TOM & JANIS together, the crazy energy is so special! Tom also did fantastic dancing & singing with TINA Turner on his show 🔥💎💋

Tom Jones is in the sci fi spoof movie Mars Attacks and is a blast.

Amber ,glad your a big fan too we love love love JANIS!!

Mr Tom Jones got Janice. The energy between Mr Jones and miss joplin was undeniable

Two of the greatest singers who ever stood on a stage

Amber's reaction to this was adorable!

Thank God for KZread honestly how many people can honestly say after they've been dead for 50 plus years that people will still be celebrating their music not many

Tom Jones and Janis Joplin. OMG...nothing compares. So glad you young people are getting to appreciate them.

Janis told Tom that she loved his voice......and with Tom the feeling was mutual. They were fire together!

This live performance is life! I love Tom Jones and Janis Joplin I’m surprised the stage didn’t explode 🤯

This might be one of my favorite reactions by you two. Yes, the pairing was absolute gold.

Tom Jones is a heck of a dancer.

This is my favorite performance. I love both of them, Janis especially :)

One of my favorite videos tom and Janis and my favorite reaction team

The great days when singing was REALLY singing and a joy to watch.

This was on his TV show. He would have a guest artist on every episode.

This one. This one is like, TOP TIER of Janis singing live. And Tom Jones..... just so incredible. I'm not a religious woman, but this song is like church to me.

1966-1976 was a golden period for music 😎🎶🎸🎷🎺🎻🪕🥁🎶🎼🎵🔥🔥

This reaction is so pure!

Tom sounds great with everyone , the supreme artist.

Janis is exceptional and Tom is a master and together they are sticks and matches because they're FIRE 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

and not just the vocals but the dancing is off the hook....tom jones could always move but good god janis has so much soul in her movements...and how about those backup dancers!

A bit late to the party but I love what this song did to you two. Pure joy to listen to and watch. Pure joy to watch and listen to you two watch and listen. I love your authenticity and that you’re experiencing this for the first time. My cheeks are sore too. Thank you.

They were brilliant together! I agree that it is almost a relief to see the joy coming from Janis. We love her and we hurt for what she went through.

I hadn't heard this in forever. Gotta find a post pregnancy Janis Joplin shirt for Mama Amber.

You should check out the entire season(s) of Tom's show. SO many great musical guests, SO many great musical performances. A TRUE treasure!

Janis was a massive fan of Otis Redding. Her version of "Hard To Handle" was epic. At the peak of her powers, she was unbeatable. Gone, never to be forgotten.

I love Janis, she was great and she always had fun and did everything her way, from the clothes she wore to the bottle of whiskey that was almost always in her hand...If you didn't like it get over it because she wasn't going to chance...

Tom and Janis absolutely brilliant...Tom Jones still sings absolutely brilliantly today too ..legends

I remember seeing this on tv when I was kid. Imagine music this good all the time.

Tom Jones had his own variety TV show for 3 seasons from 1969-71, and often had two or three musicians or groups every week. There must be lots of videos with him singing with them.

This is part of Tom Jones' show. He also did duets (on YT) with Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Little Richard, Aretha Franklin and many others.

Check out Tom Jones' cover of Prince's "Kiss." Epic. Came out in the 1990s.

Tom Jones had a variety show in late 60's Called This is Tom Jones ..that introduced him globally.. & was catalyst for his Vegas audience. All the big acts of the period performed with Tom Jones.. hence this clip

About Tom Jones when you think of how many Legends he has sang with over the years what the heck does that make him a super legend? Or just a real legitimate legend the words used to offering sometimes that's why I had to put super in front of it for Tom, it's got to be close to a 50 or 100 Legends not just singers Legends he sang with

RARE for Janis to do a duet. And caught on camera, wow.

Since you both love Janis so much, you really must get a copy of the film "The Rose", starring Bette Midler. It's a biopic of Janis and it is amazing. (Her family hated parts of it so they had to change the names.) It's a great portrait not only of Janis but also of the music industry in the late 60's when it's set. It was Bette's film debut and she hit the screen like a grenade, capturing Janis's intensity, pain, and problematic nature as well as her ecstasy onstage and her crazy, fun-loving side. It's a must for anyone getting into the rock world! :)

I ENJOY YOU 2 AS MUCH AS THE MUSIC NEVER STOP DOING THIS💯

his show was a lot of fun, he sang with so many people, this duet was my favorite. He sang a duet with Ella Fitzgerald one of the greatest blues/jazz singers. The duet is with her when she was older and she had diabetic issues which is probably why they are sitting. I was so fortunate to see her 2 years before she passed. She still could sing.

Omg! I LOVE this channel!I have the biggest smile on my face right now. Xxxxxxxxx
