    As a man of 72 years, who was a senior in high school when Tom Jones gave this performance in 1967, it warms my heart to see so many young people discover these great singers and songs. A fine wine, 55 years old.....and it demonstrates the timelessness of truly wonderful music.

    like the split nature of this song... he sings "I never gonna fall in love" buts truly he sings FALL IN LOVE repeatedly.... its like a mental fight of someone trying to avoid the pain of love, but is really slipping back into LOVE again... clever writing....the emphasis on never fall in love gives way to love...

    Sir Tom was 81 a few weeks ago. OMG he has still GOT THE VOICE. Oh But its a Welsh thing!! When Tom walked on to any STAGE be it for TV, Theatre, or Late night Club he had that 'SWAGGER. and the entertainment was off the RICHTER SCALE. He just had that something very few had then and even more so now.
    Back then there was no horrible backing tracks and NO HORRIBLE AUTOTUNE. Tom always had a musical director the name of Johnny Spence from the late 60's through to the 70's.
    My late parents had a small collection of vinyl albums and one of them is TOM JONES LIVE AT THE TALK OF THE TOWN released in 1967 and i know mine is an original album so the sound quality is as it was back then but if you can listen to the album now its just AMAZING OMG!!!!!

    You described the dynamic balance in this musical vocal performance very well with the strings pulling and Mr. Jones releasing them.

    Hello, dear Liz. I was hoping you'd react to this one, my friend. The lyrics are exactly right for us softies. lol ☺
    Tom Jones is a consummate singer and he can do pretty much any style with aplomb. Blues to Jazz to R&B to Rock to beautiful Ballads like this one. As you noted, his voice is amazing. His control, his breathing, coupled with an innate ability to understand phrasing make a wonderful push and pull with our emotions that few can do.
    One thing he's doing here that feels like a lost lesson for modern singers is that he's not singing to show off his voice. Instead, he's feeling the groove of the sentiment and allowing it to flow through him. Let the song be about the song, not the singer. He's feeling it and we feel his pain, be extension.
    Lyrically, who hasn't felt this at some point in their lives? A disastrous relationship ending in a very painful breakup makes us initially swear to never try to love again. Thankfully, the pain passes and we hope to have learned more about ourselves in the process and what we need to make ourselves happy.
    Very astute of you to notice the strings and the backing singers. While they're not front and centre, both provide the perfect setting for Tom to layer his vocals over. The backing voices only sing four sustained notes, but the tone is of sadness and creates the drama that Jones' lead vocals don't need to. Meanwhile, the string section adds fills that lightly accent the tone of the lyrics. Overall, it's a wonderful piece of studio production from someone who understands how much is enough without too much to overpower the lead singer.
    Interestingly, this song was co-written by Lonnie Donegan, who was a huge Skiffle/Folk star in the UK in the late 1950s and early 1960s. It was Donegan's massive popularity that inspired thousands of UK kids to learn guitar and begin their careers in music. Most notably, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Kinks, The Hollies, The Searchers, and almost every single other group of the British Invasion of 1964 that changed music forever. Without Donegan, few of these immense talents would have become the influence they are over almost everything we've listened to for the past 60 years.
    Take care and stay safe, Liz. Thank you, as always, for another entertaining reaction ☺☺♥♥

    There's a story that Sir Tom and The Beatles were appearing on the same show together and that John Lennon made a comment to Sir Tom that Sir Tom didn't appreciate, and had it not been for Paul McCartney intervening Sir Tom would have taken John outside and whipped his ass then and there. And I have no doubt he could have done it.

    4-13-21: Great post Lizzie! Now I know why my moms would make me any brothers watch the "This is Tom Jones" show circa 1969 or 1970; i.e.; his voice makes all the ladies swoon.
