This is how it was done 55 years ago. No fake auto tuned no talent singers. Singers wore classy clothes. No half naked twerking dancers. Raw talent at its best. Jones will always be a legend in the music industry.

And me.

Here's a titbit...I met Tom Jones in a little bar in Printers Alley Nashville, TN in and around 2004 (it was a little private get together) I was surprised when the bar's owner at the time invited me over hearing TOM JONES WOULD BE THERE...I sat with him at his table for about two hours along with two other men which I assumed was his bodyguards.. We spoke quite a bit about some good stuff and he made jokes constantly. He was funny and very down to earth with an underlying ego of course. He got up on the little stage in the bar and together with some musician friends of mine he sang a few songs. His voice blew me almost of the stage. The power ...it's not everyday a singer such as that comes along. Perfectly on key, no flat spots. He was an absolute pleasure to play with.

Thank you for your awesome story, you are sooo lucky! They threw away the mold after Tom Jones was born! One of a kind. Touchè

This baritone voice....is like a cannonball..coming out of Tom...both smooth sensitive tone..and a tennor tone...with operatic tones..he's got the whole range...that is a mark of a true singer...he's unique 👌

He was 27 then, he's 80 now and his voice is still powerful. He lives his songs a real showman.

I am 65 and been addicted to Sir Tom jones since i was 16. I pretty much know everything about him. No professio al training and his family said he has been singing ad a toddler .his first group was when he was q6 called the Squires in Whales. Later he came to Usa. Watch TOM JONES AT CEASARS PALACE❤LAS VEGAS AND HE HAD HIS OWN TV SHOW. WATCH HIM AT THE PALLADIUM ALSO. TOM said many a times he went to bed with over 250 wonen pet year. No his heart❤ was not broken but he left a trail of descriction breaking girls hearts❤ he still going strong today at 83 singing 🎉great

@@malcolmdrake6137 - As a male I can say that all females melted when he was on the radio. My mom and aunties were more than giddy. Later, on his TV show, the audience was mainly women. This came even before Beatle mania, which was more young girls. For Tom it was the adult women who blushed when Tom was mentioned. Weekly magazines had articles about the phenomenon. The throwing of panties onto the stage started with Tom Jones.

It's so good to see young people enjoying great music from my childhood. This is truly a beautiful classic by a legendary song stylist. Tom's the man!!!

His voice is a force of nature.

Tom Jones has a wonderfully soulful voice. He's pretty unique. :-)

Magnificent voice...pure stage presence...raw singing talent...a microphone..no autotune.

He's not your average 80 year old. He belts out old songs still with power & feeling yet is so laid back, his fellow stars on the show look at him in awe. As he doesn't even get out his seat to sing them all though he could. It's a effortlessly done by a true talent.

Tom Jones is a living legend. He's still on tv in the UK, as a judge on 'The Voice', where he sometimes gets to sing his own songs. And he was friends with Elvis, which he often mentions! Another well-known fact about Tom is that women used to throw their underwear at him on stage!

It's funny you say that because I believe Tom Jones it is believed to be dating Priscilla Presley.

You may be interested to know that he initially trained to be an opera singer but chose to sing popular music. Hence why he has such perfect pitch and control and can project his voice so powerfully. Love your reaction. I love Tom Jones.

Hi FrenchTastic, What a wonderful reaction to Sir Tom Jones who was knighted by the Queen of England!!! This man was and still is an elite singer/artist...at 80 years of age he can still belt it out like it's nobody else's business!!! And you gave a nice analysis of this performance from 1967... Thanks for your insight and perspective, it is much appreciated...You may also want to react to these songs by Sir Tom Jones: "She's A Lady," "Without Love," "Treat Her Right," "It's Not Unusual," "Delilah" and "I Who Have Nothing" ... And you'll be glad you did, because you won't be disappointed!!!

This song reaches into your soul and connects in a way that goes far beyond entertainment. Beautiful

He's still GOT IT and can sing on request... true genius. Treat your ears to something very special listen to more. He could sing anything and you'll be hooked.

Lovely and articulate review. Tom is a living legend of Wales and has been crowned by Queen Elizabeth as Sir Tom Jones.

A very nice person, in person. Ran across him at an airport in Dallas. Women were swarming him still as he was being ushered through the airport. He stopped and took pictures and signed autographs till his plane was leaving. We were in line together to board and he refused being pre-boarded even though he was first class. I go to talk to him and I think he was embarrassed by all of the attention when he had been a super star for so many years. He was very nice to me. About 15 years older but I loved his music. We just made small talk. I thought he was taller but we were the same height (I'm 5' 11"). Anyway, super nice guy. He was meeting his wife of many years in Atlanta then on to NY. Cool to find a nice guy that's been married to the same woman, a superstar and has no ego. Got to listen to "shes a lady" and "daughter of darkness"

I was fortunately enough to see Tom Jones live in concert in New Brunswick, Canada. I was in the 6th row ...he blew me back to the 22nd row after this song.... such amazing power.

on the UK voice show he sang ..Cry to me.... it was amazing .. at 80 years old he still got it and then some you should look up UK coaches sing and the ...Cry to me .. you won't be disappointed

Tom Jones one of the greatest voices in music history. Your righr he is 80 but he still has that same power and sound. He is a Judge on Britain version of The Voice Tom was real close friends with Elvis Pressly. Elvis asked him once where did he learn to dance like that. Tom told I learned it from you. As you will see in other videos. But as always Marie Great Reaction and Stay Safe ❤️❤️❤️

Tom Jones was unquestionably a 'ladies man'. He But he was actually married to the same woman for almost 60 years until her death. She knew who he was when she married him. And, like I said, they were married for almost 60 years. He is 80 now and still has that powerful, beautiful voice.

I am a fan of Tom Jones and one of my favourites is Help Yourself !

Sir Tom Jones is still a Legend. Knighted by the Queen of England and now a coach on The Voice UK he was part of the heartthrob group of Real singers. No auto-tune or studio tricks, just that amazing welsh voice. He's now 80yr/o and still singing and amazing the audience with his talent.

Aaaand.....Another Woman falls for Tom!

I was 13 yrs. old when that came out, and it's really nice to go back and relive those days. It's also nice to see your generation appreciate the music my generation grew up with . I really enjoy your channel.

You hung on Tom's every note! Thank you for not interrupting. Another lady hooked by the great Tom Jones. His voice is still as strong at age 80. Check him out on The Voice UK...

A legend Welsh crooner. Was lucky be alive in the 60's to first hear his and many other iconic songs... :)

Tom Jones can sing loud enough to break microphones.

Tom will blow your hair back the first time you hear him... and you're like "I didn't KNOW about this POWERHOUSE?" My favorite true tenor of the 20th century.

We’ll miss Sir Tom when he’s no longer here. Hopefully that’ll be decades away. I’d love to sit with him and listen to his stories. He’s a force of nature, unique and may never be matched. Long live Sir Tom 👍

What can you say about one of the greatest voices of all time. This man know how to sing a song. Sir Tom Jones (he was knighted) had a string of hit songs. He doesn’t need any voice enhancements. Pure talent still going strong in his 80’s. What else can you say?

Personally, I feel his voice got even better as he got older.

I do not agree, his voice is still INCREDIBLE, regardless of his age now. But back then, these notes come off as effortless, with more power and easier holds on the length and inflections. His voice was AMAZING back then when he was younger. But his voice, while still touched by Father Time, is still INCRRDIBLE now! Just my opinion...

Sir Tom does have a powerful but beautiful voice, and the songs he sang pulled at the heartstrings. You should definitely do more Sir Tom songs. Try Green, Green Grass. Great reaction! Home Free has 2 new songs, I Swear and When A Man Loves A Woman, I think you'll enjoy both.✌️😎

Elvis said that Toms voice was the best he’d ever heard. High praise from the King. No auto tune, no special effects, one take live, that’s the kind of singers I grew up with.

This is an iconic moment by an iconic performer. A living legend.

Can't wait to see your reaction to Tom Jones TREAT HER RIGHT form his television show. Best wishes from the UK.

Pure true talented man from the time period when singers actually could sing for real. Without any tecnical support. He has done a lot shows together with another amazing Australien singer named John farnham. He is one of the best male singers in world. Check him out. You will not be disapointed.

In the last few years Sir Tom did a duet with the son of the man who composed this song on The Voice UK. At 80 yrs young the man still can blow the roof of the building. Look it up.

Been listening to Tom since 1969. THE BEST

Tom Jones sung the song, "It's Not Unusual" which was the basis for the legendary dance "The Carlton", makes me laugh just thinking about it.

Pure soul music from the heart ,he’s still got it at 80 ,

Young lady sees and hears Tom Jones for the first time and is so bowled over that she immediately watches it again I've no doubt she also spent the next few hours binging on Tom, being blown away by that voice😮

My dear Tom the best entertainer of my lifetime. I love him

Great job! Tom Jones still sounds fantastic at 80 amazing!

Power, feeling, storytelling: an outstanding combination of African American and Welsh musical culture.

New artist? I was told I sdang his songs when I was four years old. So, 53 years ago. OK, that makes me kind of old. But this man is still performing after all these years and still sounds amazing!

The BBC orchestra in those days were spot on, the changing instruments and just a little backing just flowed along with his powerful vioce, I have heard the recorded version but this was by far the best version and it's live. Thank you. 🌹

It's not all just roses, lol. Actually, you should do a reaction to him singing now. I don't think any of the KZread channels knows the Tom Jones that sings this song, is the same Tom Jones that's one of the judges on "The Voice". When he sings, man oh man. Really fun to watch you go through the reaction stages. Thank you again and stay healthy and safe. We'll all get through this eventually.

My mum and dad loved tom when i was aged about ten and i used to think meh,now im in my fifties i realise why my parents loved his voice,hes in his eighties now and still belts out a fantastic tune.

when I heard this song for the first time.. I was 49 and I still love it

you definitely should listen to more of his songs like Delilah, She's a Lady and Treat her right

Tom Jones is just one of many classic singers of the 60s and 70s. Enjoy there’s many others.

Now that's talent. We don't see this kind of talent anymore.

It's funny listening to you talk about black and white. When I was growing up I lived on a dairy farm in Oregon. Colored television hadn't been invented yet, there were only two channels, but worse than that we had to use an OUT HOUSE! Wow! I"M OLD! Oh well, hugs from Idaho!

Tom was married to the same woman since he was sixteen (now 80); II believe she passed away a couple of years ago.

The smile at the beginning……the smile of a man knows he’s the bollocks! (As we say here in the uk)

It's good that you have discovered Tom Jones, he indeed has a powerful voice, and as you say expresses emotion so well. You may have reacted to a cover of one of his songs. Angelina Jordan sang "I who have nothing" - aged 6 in the school recording studio. Angelina gave a credible rendition, showing the power and emotion as per Tom Jones. Perhaps you can compare the two. Just think, Tom Jones does still sing, if the two of them could sing a duet - that would be something to see! If you are looking for new artists to react to, you could try Shirley Bassey, another Welsh singer - famous for the James Bond theme, Diamonds are forever (yet another song covered by Angelina Jordan....)

One of his best songs!!

Great guy, brought up near me, normal Welsh boy tbh. He done the clubs/pubs for YEARS!! So proud Sir Tom!

I was never a Tom Jones fan but this performance is next level! The power and passion in his voice is overwhelming. This heartache had to have happened to him. I have never heard anything like this!

Wow... the fact I used to go craazzzy when listening to him.. this brought back so many memories.

Wales is known as the land of song. The mining towns of South Wales, where Tom was from, were renowned for their male voice choirs. The rugby crowds are famous for their singing. Even my dog Bryn would throw his head back and we would sing our hearts out together.

BRAVO,WHAT AN AMAZING VOICE.!!!

Yes Tom is a great performer-singer. And yes the ladies love him. He has some other good songs.😀🎼

Thank you Marie. He had his own TV show back in the 1960's. I remember watching his show when I was a kid. Queen Elizabeth II knighted him. So he is formally known now as Sir Tom Jones. I would love to see more Tom Jones reactions.

Tom has the confidence and swagger you would expect from a vocal legend with 3 legs.

That song was performed by Sir Tom Jones and Peter Donegans in the Voice UK which is the son his dad wrote the song

I was as young as you and it can make anyone cry if you ever had your heart broken you have good taste thank you
