[tombokickass]

Tom Jones is one classy son of a bitch

[thanhhuyenvo]

[tutorlog]

[landinfor24h]

Let s enjoy new Diva of Vietnam: Singer Uyen Linh, so... good, new singer of the world.

[shane69999]

@landinfor24h

in your opinion ONLY.... you do not speak for me

[TheGREATEST95]

his too black to be white

[Fantasia1001]

To heck with the crap they play on the radio nowadays---what happened to great music like this?!?!? I may actually turn on the radio every once in a while if I knew they played good music like this... I have the utmost RESPECT for the Talking Heads; this song is easily one of the best in music history: such a great, original beat: something you can really enjoy listening to :)

[littledude1615]

Great performer! Another version everone should check out is Uyen Linh from Vietnam idol! Damn, the girl rocked!!!

[neamworld]

Astonishing!

[MsAmerican1960]

What a fucking voice!

[Jewelrydude]

This guy is the definition of a song "stylist", in my opinion

[issymudd]

I'm not black enough to sing this like Al, but Tom runs a very close "race". I think I can do this one.  I love the blues...

[kivaczek1]

I wonder is possible buy on CD? Anyone knows?

[VTYaYa]

Soulful and clear diction. Wow-zers.

[charles1880]

Does anyone know who the background singers are?

[pgsarlas]

@charles1880

the brunette in the middle is Sam Brown - here she is at the

Concert for George - see if you can get the whole version - this one cuts off.

[charles1880]

@pgsarlas Thanks!!! Do you by any chance know if she is still singing background, on her own, producer, or anything like that? I love her voice...

[pgsarlas]

@charles1880

She's been solo for years - here's her albums on Amazon

[jan17859]

te gek deze uitvoering. Het maakt niet uit welk nummer Tom covverd hij doet elk nummer perfect

[sarahjeanluvsmusik]

I have'nt heard a version of this song that I did'nt like different interpretations but all good I have to give it to Al Green for hearing his version first. But they all did it justice

Can't Take it Anymore----I must soulfully strut off now Drop me in the wat-tah!!!!!Feet must touch the ground!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[joshwelljonesfirst]

Andrew Strong owns this ONE no competition

[blogunner]

bad suit

[goss6099]

Yes, this is an awesome version, but I like Al Green's and The Talking Heads about as much. The brunette backup singer from 2:14 to 2:23 in this song is fantastic! What a voice!

[lewran]

@goss6099 sam brown if I am not mistaken..

[gunsnrosesromance123]

wow i JUST realized that tom jones actually looks like jackie gleason! (RIP)

[maestrorochimaru]

0:08 lol; what's this?

[Ruralta]

He sings very clearly!

[Boenairgeez]

Great voice but gimme Al

[bethcf4p]

i love this

[CharlesLuvsCrystal]

Does anyone know anything about the background singers in this video?

[buffey]

Tom can do NO WRONG = Get over it!!!!

He's the BEST sou-L-L- singer

[roelani223]

This is possibly the WORST version of any song EVER to be made!!!! Tom Jones should be ashamed of himself! Only Al Green can do this song!

[Alteredbeast47]

it belongs to Talking Heads, the creators

[Alteredbeast47]

whoops, no they didnt sorry. memory lapse

[gabiperez]

Nope. To Al Green (1973). Talking Heads recorded it in 78 or 709.

[gabiperez]

oops, 79.

[dubilend]

who is Al Green?????

[ady10001]

fail

[mush1955]

Sir Tom.....he must be singing about the river Taff !

[simonsteam]

Listen to the Tina Turner version of this on here Will blow your head off. Its incredible.

[lepopnoir]

This is both awesome and upsetting to me. I'M SO CONFUSED?

[Valekorn]

different by the original of Al Green but sounds good!

[Lyktwz]

Good!

[dannytango36]

[zebb71]

[ptjarsgier]

the besttttttt

[hdl5000]

you have to say thats not bad listening cheers t

[garzaeduardo]

steroids.

[pgsarlas]

The woman in the middle is Sam Brown and if you check out the "Tribute to George Harrison" video where she performs Harrison's "Horse to Water", you'll be amazed that she isn't more well known. She kills a song!

[alfredtowers]

Tom Jones, Eta James, Talking Heads, no sabria que interpretación preferir en torno a take me to the river, los tres son magnificos

[Ben93219]

I'd love to know who the backup singer is who is in the middle. She has an awesome voice! Not too bad on the eyes either.

[trollymay]

i'd take him down to the river

[drumz86]

he'd drop you in the water... though

[KARENFCOUNTS]

dance dance dance its tom, tom ,tom, so very sexy singing and dancing. he looks damn good for his age.......i love how he can sway his body..............elvis would of looked like that also...................

[pattycake3769]

Tom

Still lOok good

[LizzyDouglas]

Listen to Eva Cassidy's rendition of "River", she completely blows Tom off of his feet and out of his shoes!!

[jaemsohyeah]

i saw a similar thing at a talent quest, like the song

[teenonator]

What's the Talking Heads original TJ improved upon? This is cool, but even the Heads were covering the Rev Al Green.

[Liebrand]

should have cut out the girl singers... good version

[gnbnt]

Good eye, Alebonnell, I think that just might be our Jools on the piano. Tom Jones rules. Sexiest guy on earth. And heaven knows he's the only man who can cover Talking Heads and Prince and improve upon the original.

[nhallo]

How old is this video. It isn't too recent, yet not real old either.

[coconutsbar]

He is my idol he has been it evah since i was born.

[alebonnell]

The video image is a bit fuzzy, but is that Jools Holland playing the piano?

[maestroh]
