With performances like this throughout his extensive career, is it any wonder that Sir Tom is knighted for his contributions to music?

AS A JUDGE on "The Voice UK" in 2019, he was the only chair-turn for a kid named Peter Donegan who's DAD wrote that song for Tom and toured with him in the early years. They ended up singing that song together LIVE and impromptu during the audition... PRICELESS reunion with the son, and one of those "Full Circle" moments. it's on YT

Recorded 1967. No autotune just powerful voice. In his 80s now and Sir Tom can still belt out this song!

He painted a masterpiece with his voice.

My dad used to work on a milk round (delivering milk in the early hours to homes) as a pre-teen with Tom, in the village of Tonteg, near Pontypridd, South Wales. They both sang at local miner's and workingmens clubs in their teens, as did many people back then (50's and 60's). Tom went on to international fame, my dad not so much.

Elvis was great i loved him but lets be real here his voice had gone long before he died aged 41 , Tom on the other hand has carried on singing and hitting the notes faultlessly all these years and hes 81 and still going . I think that says HE IS THE GOAT not Elvis also even Elvis said Tom had a better voice and i have to agree .

Sir Tom Jones was 26 or 27 years old when he did this song. He is now 82 and is a judge on The Voice and still tours with that magnificent voice

Best reaction to this song that I've heard by far. She stayed with his vocal ability and the performance itself. The song and the reaction were a pleasure to listen to.

Pipes! He’s so loud at the end you can hear the room echo! Amazing 🤩

Sir Tom Jones, for me the greatest ever male vocalist, his power, range, tone and emotion were second to none. Even now in his 80’s he’s still amazing!

I'm reading all these comments regarding Sir Tom being a judge on the "Voice UK"...for you younger folks who don't remember, Sir Tom's nickname was "The Voice", decades before any such TV shows existed. Ah, for the days of pure talent. Excellent analysis as always, Julia. I think I saw you swoon a bit (lol!)...enjoyed!

Tom Jones is from Wales. He was quite the heart throb in his heyday. Young (and not so young) women in the audience would literally lose their minds, start throwing their panties on the stage, their hotel room keys.... it was a sight to behold. He still has that power 50 years later as you can testify. Getting weak in the knees? Great song, Great looks, Great sound, Great performer. Sex appeal. Enough to make you swoon. He watches KZread and has thanked others for their reaction. Maybe he might see yours as well. I enjoyed your reaction more than most.

Wales is the land of Myrddin/Merlin the magician, of dragons (as on the flag),, the Mabinogi and Arthurian tales, even Rupert Bear and the flopsy bunnies lived in Wales, and Harry Potter- i seem to remember- flew over Abergavenny (Rowling was brought up by the Welsh border), Alice of Alice in Wonderland would holiday in Wales, Tolkien loved the ancient language, picked Welsh names for Lord of the Rings, CS Lewis, who wote the Narnia tales, was of Welsh parentage, comedian Tommy Cooper, born in Caerphilly, performed magic- to comic effect, Roald Dahl was born in Wales ...the blue stones at Stonehenge with magical healing properties were amazingly transported- or moved themselves- a long distance from the Preseli hills in Wales...the Llangernyw yew tree, which has an ancient spirit, is thousands of years old. I do feel magic in Wales.

I have to agree with you, there is something magical about the Welsh and music. My father and his family were from Wales, and I grew up listening to Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey, and Engelbert Humperdinck, as well as other Welsh and British artists. I have seen performances by Sir Tom and Dame Shirley in their 80's, and the power and beauty of their voices still gave me goosebumps.

I heard another KZread reactor describe Tom Jones as a "Baritone Cannon". Couldn't have come up with a better description of him no matter how hard I tried. Add in the fact that this was before decent mikes and auto-tune, and you simply have to respect the talent in this man. I love how you never hear him take a breath until he wants you to, because he uses it to add emotion to the performance.

He wasn't a baritone. He could hit the Tenor High C when he was younger, before dropping one semi-tone early in his career to B4. He spent most of his career as a High-baritone, and was consistently able to sing around F4-A4 which is quite high for a man( I'm a baritone, my high notes that I can sing all day are between D4-F4, I max out at A4. I really struggle to even hit his notes without feeling tension after 2 or 3 of his songs). I believe by listening to his later songs that he is almost certainly now a Baritone, I'd be very surprised if he could hit the Bb4 or A4. He has remarked that his voice on the lower end has become richer/ lower probably being able to touch E2. Even as I listen to this song he never struck me as a garden variety baritone at that point in his career, he had a lighter tone to his voice, but you are correct the dude was a cannon, and to my understanding un-trained. The dude was gifted, period

The truly amazing thing about this performance is that he had so much left to give! This was just a walk in the park from him.

Without a doubt one of the great crooners. We had Tom's Greatest Hits on vinyl back in 1977. Ah, the olden days. Cheers Julia.

@shanemartin8904

He wasn't a crooner. Most crooners stay within a certain octave and sing with a constant degree of softness e.g Dean Martin. Tom Jones smashed his way through 3 octaves nightly and whilst he may have had a softer side to his voice, he was renown for his power and range

So endearing to see & hear that such refinement after suceeding generations, hasn't 'gone out of style.'

Used to watch him every week back in the 60s At 82 he is still preforming probably one of the best singers of all time can sing anything.

Once I fell in love with Tom and his voice I was lost forever that was in 1965 and I still love him so much I'm so proud he's a fellow Welsh man and gone from strength to strength

Heart breaking, in “67” and today as well. The man is and was a shining star

In the classic TV days, singers were featured in many variety shows. Time to bring that genre back.

I really admire your side notes you provide.Your judging is fantastic thank you.

I love that you can give this thoughtful, detailed analysis of Sir Tom's vocal technique, while at the same time swooning to it like millions of other women over the past half-century.

Brilliant! Loved the music, your reaction and your analysis. Completely captured my attention throughout. ❤️

I’ve come to enjoy and appreciate Tom Jones singing more now than I ever did many years ago. And I love your interpretation of his performance as I do all of your analyses!

So glad I got to see you react to a Tom Jones song 😍 I have an old soul and absolutely love a jazz/crooner type vocalist. Very well sung and loved hearing your take on it!

I'm even better informed about what I need to work on, and how to do so. What she's doing is a little bit like squeezing a quart into a pint pot, but it's well worth the effort to drain the pot- recommend to yourself and others wishing to improve their singing to persevere. The above is NOT a put-down criticism of Julia Nilon's instructional style, it's more of an appreciation of it :-)

Julia, all your comments no doubt totally on the mark but Tom wouldn't have considered any of that as he sung. He just did it. It just came naturally to him. The power, the delivery, he had it all. This could well be the best recorded 'pop' performance by a male singer .... ever. A great orchestration behind it too.

Wasn't born when this was out so never heard it b4 but now how it belting out the car every few days lol. Love how you can watch you fall in love with a voice x

Julia, while there is no discounting of your knowledge and understanding of the vocal mechanism. One of the additional reasons I love your video reactions is seeing your emotional reaction(s) to those certain selections that resonate with you and oh yes! It's obvious and delightful. Thank you once again.

Fantastic on so many levels.

Ohh lawdy I had no idea that singing was sooo complex. Goes to show he was a master of his craft..I'm thankful for it

You're my absolutr favourite music reactor and it's not even close. Please keep it going, love from the Netherlands

Who was the drummer? Those fills were Ringo worth. Amazing work on the chorus, and the camera. And that Bass, God! Such high professional sound engineers and balance.

Dang, Julia! I need someone to look at me the way you were looking at Tom Jones! Great reaction!

so far, and for me, it is the best and most complete analysis I have seen, and yet you can still enjoy the mystery of the emotions that a voice conveys. Thank you for your contribution to help us listen better.

Tom is my favorite male vocalist for sure. I hope you can react to my favorite female vocalist sometime, Karen Carpenter. Her song "Superstar" is a great start. What an incredible voice she had!

I love your expertise in breaking down the performance in such technical detail and accuracy. It definitely shed huge light on Jones' abilities and craft. Thanks so much.

Wow, thank you so much for the video and the step-by-step analysis of his performance. As a singer, I've been puzzling over this one for a while. I'll probably watch this a couple dozen times as I work on getting this one down (if ever haha). You've really helped me understand what he's doing, and pointed me in the direction of techniques to work on. I didn't appreciate Sir Tom when I was a child, but now I'd have to say he's in my top two of all time... a singer with all the pieces in the tool box. The fact that he can still hit all the same notes now just goes to show how good his technique is/was.

Probably the best male vocalist from my teens, simply amazing. ❤️🤘🇦🇺

He is not known as "Jones the Voice" for nothing , a friend went to see him at Telford 2 weeks ago and said the voice was still as powerfull and emotive .

one thing about Sir Tom Jones this was ALL HIM . this was before decent mikes and auto-tune .. back in the day if you messed up people knew it . now days they can cover that all up ..i don't know if i ever heard Sir Tom Jones Hit A '' BAD '' NOTE ! HE WAS GREAT THEN AND IN HIS 80'S HE IS GREAT NOW ! Retirement is no where in his vocabulary . this is Sir Tom's Life And Passion . and i sure am glad he came to AMERICA TO SHARE HIS PASSION FOR MUSIC WITH US ! I Loved Sir Tom Jones From The First Note .i was lucky enough to go to one of his concerts . UNBELIEVABLE .. A Memory That Will NEVER Be Forgotten . i am sure you watched this over without stopping and explaining what you noticed in his singing . Time to sit back and enjoy THE LEGENDARY SIR TOM JONES !

Thank you for a wonderful reaction Julia. Please feel free to react to more of Sir Tom Jones songs. My late mother really loved hearing him sing. I remember his TV show was always good back in the day. (When I was a kid.)

Of the many reactors that I follow, you are now my favorite! Outstanding! On a side note...love the hair! Great reaction young lady.

Love your reactions. This was the yearI was born lol. Thanks for the work that goes into the reactions. Great job as always.

Tom Jones is a beast.he's otherworldly. You young lady are quite smoking hot beautifuli. I'm just speaking facts Tom is amazing what a voice . Not many have ever stepped foot on this earth.

Sir Tom Jones has been my most favorite singer for over 50 years, and I love all types of music. I can remember when my mom bought his "talk of the town" record albulm I was 8 years old. We use to then watch his TV show. I wanted to personally thank you for reacting to Tom Jones. Many Vocal coaches like yourself seam to be more interested in the opera/juke box/ rock genre. Others that react to his songs are very nice but lack the vocal background. You are the first to take the time to break down his singing style, and explain how he makes those sounds. I would love you to react and comment to more of his songs. Such songs as I WHO HAVE NOTHING, DELIILAH, WITHOUT LOVE, TILL, GREEN GREEN GRASS OF HOME. There are so many! Thanks again I truly enjoyed it!!!

So cool that you decided to react a much older performance! Your comments on mouth shapes and lip positions were especially interesting😃

Without question my favorite singer of all-time. Born in 1962, I would fight with my parents to watch his television show when I was 7 and 8 years old. He has been a permanent fixture in my musical life. Simply unequaled. No peers!! None!!
