Woooah, what a man!!! I just love me some Tom Jones and this is classic Tom Jones! He had great moves and made it all look so easy. He seemed to be enjoying every minute of it!

@Tsirjones I beg actually to agree Tsirjones, I think you are spot on. Mama Cass was a semi-tenor harmony with the Mama and Papas, yes? you tube search copy paste in harmony here,

@yippitydodah Actually, Tom had more range, it was well documented that Tom sang in higher pitch... "high baritone". Conversely, the more "soul" baritones have the more traditional timbre, but sing in a vocal range that is closer to the tenor vocal range. Some of these singers include Tom Jones, Michael McDonald, and Levi Stubbs of the Four Tops -wikipedia
Elvis was lyric baritone with poor sustain to high notes, Tom's highest keeped note is High D.. Tom could have been great Dramatic Tenor.

Where did they get the audience from? Madame T
ussaud's ?!!

@gemmamitzi Tom was pop baritone, while Elvis was more pop tenor. When Elvis sung deep as in Dixieland, he was struggling, while at the same note Tom would belt it out, and take the roof off. There is not too much difference in the middle C of their voices, but Tom was a lower middle C to himself compared to Elvis. Elvis with Dixieland live, copy paste and yootoob search,

I preffer Elvis' version from the same year by miles! ;D
Elvis has exceptional high notes and rich low ones, but what is more important is not how high or low it extends but where its center of gravity is. In his songs he was a baritone, a tenor and bass. HE had a velvety voice with no cracking and great versatility. Sometimes i thought that tom was too raucous but he was the best at his signature songs like green green grass of home, (elvis loved that) and i love delilah. Yes, we can enjoy them both.
