There never was and never will be a performance like this on this song on this earth lol that ending was ridiculous lol especially the key he sang it in
Other versions of "I (Who Have Nothing)" have been recorded by Petula Clark, The Spectres, Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway, Luther Vandross & Martha Wash, Brook Benton, Neil Diamond, Joe Cocker, Normie Rowe, Katherine Jenkins, Linda Jones, Manfred Mann's Earth Band and Status Quo.
Jordin Sparks sang the song during British Invasion Week on the sixth season of American Idol. A studio recording of her performance reached #74 on the Billboard Hot 100 following her win.
The original was done by Ben E King in 1963. So he's a jerk too? It's not Shirley Bassey's song. By the way her name is BASSEY, not BassLEY. Now, who's the jerk?
Because Shirley Bassey recorded a song does not mean she owns it. As you can see ABOVE lots of other artists have covered it; some would argue their covers were as good or better.
I'm sure, you think Great Scott is good, since your speaking of yourself. Why the charade? Are you really trying to compare yourself to the Master; Mr Tom Jones? It's NOT only about singing the song, it's the complete artistry. You have no vocal technique, or stage presence, but keep working at it. Good luck and much success!
from a TOP RUSH fan to the TOPTJFAN, awesome!! my mom played TOM every day as i grew up and he is soo cool, i'm going to my 2nd show to see him tomorrow night in portland (here for RUSH too, but my 50th show!!). what a VOICE!!!!!!!!!!!
I have always related to this song for some reason......sure you've heard it.....reminds me of Conway's tight fittin' jeans....stories are very simular......
Nobody, and I mean nobody sings this song like TOM JONES!! I've seen them all///including Dame Shirley (she's great!)...(I love her)...but...NOBODY sings it like TOM!!
I don't understand what this song has to do with that movie and when he says bright sparkling diamond's well that one she has one is clearly dark and not a sparkle in sight maybe in her eyes thinking "God i want this just stick it in my bra and walk off" Haha!! Yes Tom we get the point at the end you love her so no need to whale it that is so last season!!!
HA HAAA!! awesome, squeezmemacaroni!! Tom Jones has a pretty big vibrato...much like the singer from Helloween (Michael Kiske) and others. I could TOTALLY see it. Just IMAGINE the talk about it. NO ONE would believe it and I think a lot of people would buy it to check it out!
Nope,...it was the great early sixties soul singer, Ben E. King who broke that song. HIS is the original...and still the best; although, Tom Jones is not too far behind his. Bassey's is too mannered and stilted to be a great interpretation
Early on he sang with the Drifters. (wrote There Goes My Baby) Spanish Harlem, and Stand By Me. you should check these out if you've never heard them.
I like this version much better than Shirley Bassey's version. But nothing will ever compare with Ben E. King's original. Nice video, though. Thanks! :-)
my dad says he is better than Elvis. What do you think???????

The original was done by Ben E King in 1963. So he's a jerk too? It's not Shirley Bassey's song. By the way her name is BASSEY, not BassLEY. Now, who's the jerk?
