TOM JONES - What I'd Say (1964)

[ragerpez]

im getting so sick of hearing that 95% of teens these days blah blah blah, i suppose you've conducted a fucking survey have you???

[matthewwilliamcomer]

So good

[natalya545]

том джонс трава у моего дома

[TheSlade64]

мать его, классссссс. СУПЕР

[disjoinedchip2]

i think he should have stuck to rnb like this.

[meyiyiyi55]

awesome, jones rules all vocal categories.i sense a blast beat, napalm death style but 20 yrs before!

[vkdee44]

That man can sing!!!

[disjoinedchip2]

haha a young chris slade!

[semanray]

[disjoinedchip2]

@semanray aye. lol.

[KillerPenguinVideos]

amen



[misterfrugellhound]

[zeptimp]

THE MAN

nuff said

[LowBid86]

My Mom and Dad didn't let me see this kind of thing in 1964...

[Super1652]

Was ich sage.....er ist eine lebende Legende! Danke Sir Tom und alles Liebe zum Geburtstag 7. June!!!!!

[spfccsmft]

I think the Jonas Brothers did a decent job on backup.

[Liviapoetisa]

Ele é uma lenda... hoje, aos 70 anos e na ativa. Com tanta gente que não sabe cantar e nem tem voz para isso, é uma pena que não tenham talentos como Tom, que, realmente, sabe cantar qualquer estilo de música.

[brodyfest]

Drummer is great! He's doing a blast beat at 1.30 onwards!

[seags234]

And I bet you always said to yourself: I'll never sound like my dad!

[johngypsy12345678910]

You say Lady Gaga, I say The Who

You say Hannah Montana, I say The Rolling Stones

You say Owl City, I say Led Zeppelin

You say Jonas Brothers, I say The Beatles

You say Justin Bieber, I say Queen

You say Taylor Swift, I say The Doors

95% of teens these days listen to the same crappy pop over and over again. If you're one of the 5% who still listens to real music, thumb this up, then copy & paste it to at least five videos. Don't let the spirit of rock and roll die

[MrDrethevoice]

"tom is the number one today, and i am his number one fan", Frank Sinatra.

"this man comes closest to me, the way i sing and entertain" Elvis Presley

"It changed the temperature of the room (when tom was on tv)" Bono, U2, age 8 at the time

"i started as a background singer for this man" Elton John

"the voice", according to Janis Joplin

"the only white soul singer", Wilson Pickett

[tiranchula]

One Sexy Man!!!!!!!!!!!

[MegaGum1]

Tom has got enough Black for all them boy up on that stage

[bwiesmore1]

early considered a rocker- this song clearly shows his blues and soul quality from the start-

[Bobbo293]

This must be some of the earliest film of Tom. Fantastic! Thanks so much for posting!

[tubescanner]

Mr Tom and the drum beat are like multi-vitamins to me.

[MrHonestmate]

Michael Boltons dad

[7182683003]

tom i stil love you 

[tornmask]

jus plain old Rock 'n Roll!..it's amazing how superb the sound of the instruments & the voices are sooo clear in that discotech studio!..i love it! =o)

[davemooreblues]

I didn't  know Conan O'Brian played drums!

[Mistys120]

What a waste.

[JamesTKirkCobain]

Guy was one helluva muthfucka R&B singer, still is. Makes me laugh when I hear the press make excuses for crackheads like Whitney Huston "Oh she is just getting old"....Yeah OK, old at 40. Meanwhile Jones who is 70 can stll blow the roof off of Madison square garden, or Roy Orbison who had a bad ticker could still blow the sky into outerspace. It;s incredible to me the losers today who are propped up by sheer PR as if they are equals to guys like this.

[supervirtuouswoman]

The white boys could not keep up with Tom baby. hahaha

[CaledoniaJeanne]

God, do I still melt!

[jacksblack1]

All these comments, geez. This was perfect. Band and all. This was 1964. Stop sounding like a young fool by making comments you know nothing about. This was all good and the musicians all made names for themselves in their own right. Critics you are not.. stop it .

[roverjjj]

He sounds like a soulfull black singer, but the back up fellas through it off. Tom Sounds great.

[superginger23]

TOM Jones was too much for this band . A real Tiger man on the scenary .

[123torrent]

This kicks ass!

[entenn]

this version sucks big time...RC's is waaaaayyyyyy betterrrr

[BBQFanNo1]

@entenn Nobody else commenting on this video is interested in what opinion you have to say which version is better, so shut the fuck up and go somewhere else!

[entenn]

@BBQFanNo1. yea same with your opinion SO WHY DONT YOU SIT HOME AND EAT PORK BBQ YOU FAT FUCK WHO CAN'T GET OUT OF OWNS CHAIR.

p.s. BURN MOTHAFUCKUH BURN WITH BBQ......

[compewterknut]

I used to laugh at my mother who loved Tom Jones, but I have to say I can see why now: He looks good, he moves good, and his voice kicks major ass. At 70, he's still going strong.

[Chico1584]

They should make a movie about Toms life

[Maverikk68]

If Tom Jones would have went into rock music instead of doing the music that he did most of the time, he would be known today as one of the greatest rock singers in history. Not enough people know of him.

[1olrocker]

WOW! He really rocked this out!!!! I bet Ray Charles liked it.

[phunkidruma]

Tom jones is the blackest white man alive, along with Michael mcdonald.

[5857041722]

Anytime, anywhere, Tom. Don't care if you're 170. BTW, Happy 70th!  6/7/10. oxox

[dubilend]

EL MEJOR

[TheGibsonman59]

I rem. my grandmother saying she met him, she was his make - up person, i have a Pic of them at our old house on Hesby Way back in the 70s, the house i grew up in in the 90s, born in 94 - 08, HE WAS IN OUR LIVIN' ROOM.

[TheGibsonman59]

@TheGibsonman59 i lived ther from 94 to 08, i mean, if u don't get it

[presleyslave]

Tom puts the so called Men who call themselves Gansta's into the little wimp category. He's a real man.

[gv105468]

he was badazz XD

[TheTunecat]

MEOW!!

[DaveyBabey]

i dont like his version

[Dragonrdh]

He sounded really soulful here!

[patera124]

Tom Jones, you sexy swine!

[waveone44]

Um this is brilliant - period.

[SpiritualSlutt]

OMF'nG... a REAL MAN singing instead of today's pussy ass Poop "Stars" ❦

[zamusicza]

@SpiritualSlutt I hear ya!!! If this had been in my day I would have been lining up with the rest of the groupies....

[LoveMarriott]

JUHUUU !!!!

[kon17051951]

Том дает угля на-гора!Класс наивысший!

[dimges]

this version of Ray song is strongest of all, there is fantastic drummer, Chris Slade, with his miniatures; listen too original Mills song, "b" side of G.G.G. of Home, "If I Had You", and famousTom Jones cover , Get Ready, Hard To Handle e.t.c,.. and all oldies Tom Jones & Squires cover or original song.. Breathless, Little by little.. e.t.c.

[BalletTwirl]

Heaven help me, I need a COLD shower!

[Celalizade]

Forever Tom Jones

[acostajorge40]

Once, an old man said to me Tom Jones had problems with his vocal chords at the beginning of his career, his high notes were uncontrolled, he had to learn how to sing and he felt very depressed. Well, after watching this I think he has always had a gifted voice. Thou, if the old man was someway right, I would like to know... does any1 have news about it?

[Tsirjones]

Nope he only had problems with vocal chords when he had nodule around 70-80 if i remember right..

One soprano back in the day checked him, if he sang right and yes he did, and also asked why you (tom) come to classical training, we can make you full tenor, but he didint want, cos he loved pop music.

He was always gifted singer and he sang closer to tenor range aka High Baritone, sang high D, High C' easily.. Check Ive Been Loving You Too Long by Tom Jones, high D at the end.

[Lordseverin]

Haha... Tom Jones blast beats at 01:35...

Didn't know he used to rock the roll in his younger days... If only he had turned to hard rock instead of pop music although some of the groovier stuff is cool...

[Witheredgoogie]

wasnt he being produced by Joe Meek at this point?

[ohbibliophile]

I swear the guy on the drums looks like Conan OBrian.

[SpeakaDaEnglish]

He does! ha

[harfarhs]

As with so many 60s stars, they could have made great records but they had a manager pulling their strings. At that time, class system still intact, only the very strongest (Beatles, Stones, to some extent Kinks, Who) could overcome that influence.

[recklesscharlie]

'myrecordcollection' is right- this is tight AS HELL. And yea, I wish he'd stuck with this style of music. It grabs the gut and the feet and get's ya movin'. Really suits his voice perfectly.

[boptobe42]

Love it. Mickey Gee ( lead guitar) died yesterday so this is very poignant. Funny how the Weslh accent is so noticeable in the backing vocals !

[Gwhitebeard]

THere was Life before PUSSYCAT!? Gawd, This Guy was Always Great..

[branchwater7]

imitation.

[cattleman6420012000]

He is the best at his type of music. An incredible talent.

[styminho]

can you specify "his type'

of music...the man is legendary he simply sings everything well..

[thunderhayes]

Chris Slade w/hair = quite a strange sight...

I love how he sounds here though, you can definitely tell he has the chops.

[lisaluvsjoee]

Ooooh I love Chris Slade...at any age!!! Yummy!!!! :D

[myrecordcollection]

This performance is tight as all hell. Too bad Jones is usually remembered for his MOR stuff.

[RDG484]

One thing about Tom Jones, he can sing ANYTHING; rock, soul, ballads, country, R&B, you name it.

[tornmask]

@RDG484 : ur darn right! =0]

[razordu30]

@RDG484 - Absolutely; plus in "If I Only Knew" he RAPS.

[TJ054]

I am new to this youtube thing and have not seen most of these video's of Tom Jones. I'm in my mid 50's and remember him through the years. However, I had not seen this earlier stuff ever. He was awesome then and awesome now!

[vonratibor]

There it was a legend in the making

[gypseyteller]

toms has so much soul! the drummer is not as good as the one he has now herman mathews, now he can play the drums..

[RDG484]

Is this when Tom Jones was still a member of the Senators?

[mharding2008]

Yes. Senators, Squires, Playboys. Same band.

Drummer is Chris Slade later of AC/DC.

[RDG484]

THAT's Chris Slade??? Holy Heck!!! I would have never suspected!!!

[ColdheartedMan78]

Ray's better

[willminkorea]

This is GREAT rock-n-roll.

[peterjochu]

Yes, that's Rock & Roll! I've seen this footage once on BBC television way back 1994 and immediately dug the drummer.

[MignonMe]

Oh my.

And, he's still got it!

[Marlis05]

He melts my butter.

[gillyh2745]

I ain't welsh,but if you guys ever go for an independant wales,Mr sex on legs will be a great contender for president for life!

[000095]

nice 1

[gesdim]

this song, Chills & Fever and Skye Boat Song ( isn't available full video clip ) are fantastic classic Rock performs, but in 1964 some Decca boss put this songs in drawer

[liokal]

he 's the best

[Couchy3745]

Come on Wales!!!

[TDKIII]

nice to see his rhythm and blues roots

[csisman]

Ohhh that is the full version! Thanks for uploading!

[omipalomi]

Brilliant!
