This must be from The Tom Jones Show around 1970 or so. Another great variety show banned to the vaults since the damn music rights forbid them ever being released on dvd. Thanks so much for sharing this forgotten performance with us.
I think it is RACISM that prevents Little Richard to be the King of Rock n' Roll.... (the white were so anxious to find a white singer that sounds like a Negro and they said they found it in ELVIS)
@evascojavier no its that victim mentality that holds people back in life, "oh i would have been the best if it hadn't been for....." nobody gives it to you, you have to take it, besides im white and i prefer the music of little richard to elvis
Poor picture and sound quality, Little Richard has never looked more freakish, Tom Jones has faggoty stage mannerisms like the way he holds the microphone, but what a performance! Why the HELL did Tom Jones do that schmaltzy crap he did instead of this? If he never put out an album of pure R&B, he should, or should have.
@mfisher452 --You wrote what I have always thought. Tom Jones should have, and could have, put out a GREAT R&B album, but for some reason, he never did. I tend to blame his manager, Gordon Mills, for that huge mistake. I have all his albums and he does have some great R&B tunes on some of them. Jones grew up in Wales listening to Black and gospel music on BBC radio, and was profoundly appreciative of and influenced by it. And it shows in performances like this.
Couldn't be clearer. Tom Jones is a competent blues/rock singer who made it a lot bigger than a lot of other equally competent blues/rock singers and LIttle Richard is the originator. Just listen. Tom's verse is good, but Little Richard's verse comes right from the soul where it was born. Now on a good night Jerry Lee Lewis could match Little Richard, but that dude's crazy.
Thanks to what passes for rock music today, I had forgotten why I had even liked it, all those years ago. This is what it's all about . Greatest rock song ever. No contest. Just listening to these great rockers was an amazing experience.
Richard later expressed that he did not like how high they put Jones in the mix.
Personally, I think Jones, although a true fan of Little Richard who covered three of his tunes, should have hung back and let this genuis, at the top of his game at the time, do his thing, unencumbered.
God damn... what a performance. Two exellent performers come together and mesh their talents together. Great sound and energy from both of them. Strange duo though, who would have ever pictured Tom Jones and Little Richards singing together?
Being white myself I think it won't be too out of line for me to say it's amazing any white person can hang with a force of nature like LIttle Richard. Phenomenal. It brings to mind, well, Larry Bird. Little Richard is powerful force in music. a phenomenon.
written by John Marascalo and Bumps Blackwell. They were legendary songwriters who also wrote 'Ready Teddy', "Rip it Up", "Heebie Jeebies","Send me some Lovin", "Shes Got It" Classic Rock and Roll
Brilliant - i forgot what a total star TJ was and LR is nothing less than the creator of rock and roll Tom sounds just like LR but with more believable hair!
When I think about it, Tom can show Pat Boone a thing or two. Poor Pat just couldn't hang with Little Richard. When you cover someone's song, at least do a good job. Right on Tom, now that's how you do it!
Little Richard was SO CUTE!! He has the most brilliant smile ever - you can see all of his teeth, uppes and lowers at once, and it just makes him super cute.
Its called fu&%in` sweat!!! Its what happens to you when you exercise or exert yourself. Get off that fu%$in` "Lay-Z-Boy" and do sumpin` wif datass!!!!
The "originay-ta", the architect, the unsung king, the original rock n roll rebel!!!
See that dude playing the piana right there ? That`s the kernel, the original DNA, the dude that got the SH%$ rollin, the Tommy Jefferson of our glorious rock n roll revolution mofos!!!! If that SH%$ don getcha toe tappin, you`re either a Nazi or clinically dead (same FU&%IN` thing).
You DAMN RIGHT RidemyBMW ! Its what artists "used" to be...Richard is the "rill-deal" always has been the "Rill-Thing" that idiot that said whats wrong with Richards face dont know shit about music or the man that laid the foundation that "ALL" others built on or in Pat Boone's case stole..Danny O'Donnell
Yeah artists like Little Richard and Tom Jones not many of their contemporaries with the exception of Freddie Mercury, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ray Charles can come close to touching their range
Two magnificent performers having a genuine blast together. Doesn't get better than this! Thank you so much for posting this vid. Absolutely fantastic!!
two legends come to make an OK song superb.
