The Green, Green Grass of Home - is the logical follow-up to the murder.
You beat me to it, lol.
Great song.
The best version is the one he did a couple of years ago for the BBC Radio 2 live at Home series during covid. The voice is the same and what little he has lost in range is long made up for by more seasoning and emotion. Tom's voice is a gift from the gods and he has taken good care of it. czcams.com/video/UpomzwEN3cs/video.html
Tom is one reason I'm so proud to be Welsh! It's a rugby anthem still, even though the governing body has tried to ban it. The rugby crowds sing it with gusto!!!
i remember this coming on before wales vs new zealand in the principality, incredible
Sir Tom Jones, still a fantastic singer.
I saw him last night in Sydney... he doesn't move around much, but wow! what a voice! I can't believe he can still sing like that at 84yr old.. Just incredible
My parents had a 45 of "What's New Pussycat?" in the original picture sleeve (I have it now) and I had "She's A Lady". An artist our generations agreed on!
Went to his concert last month, his voice is still powerful as ever at 84! It's hard to believe but he is really amazing! I am so blessed to have the chance to see him singing live!
"Sir" Tom Jones! He was "Knighted" as was "Sir" Elton John by Queen Elisabeth when she was still on the Throne of England.
Curiously this record is an incredible British favourite track at, pretty much, all kinds of celebrations. Once it starts everyone gets on the dance floor, holds hands and sings loudly. You wouldn't thing a song about a murder would be so popular, but it is. Brings us all together for a good old sing song.
"Treat Her Right" from the This is Tom Jones TV Show. If you want to see how much the ladies love Tom and how much Tom loves the ladies and see his dancing skills
"She's a Lady" by Tom. Gotta listen to. ❤
Love that song!
Agree, that's a great song.
To most of us teenagers at the time Delilah was the introduction to Sir Tom -- who even in his eighties is still a great singer! Thanks for the flashback!
Have you heard, Tom Jones is a knight, so it’s Sir Tom Jones. I saw Him live at an outdoor venue and you could hear him warming up from the parking lot and he was singing this song. Fabulous show, he’s such a performer! In fact, he had his own TV show Tom Jones back in 70s, great artists on there like Janis Joplin and CSN. Suggestion for next song - please check out his dance moves the live performance of Treat Her Right! 🔥
I always take this song as a 'continuation' of his other great hit: "I'll Never Fall In Love Again".
Great singer...such power!
My Favorite Song!🥰
Don't forget the sequel--Green Green Grass of Home.
@@anglosaxon5874 Don't you see the connection? It's the same man now on death row for murdering Delilah.
@@anglosaxon5874 Perhaps he was on death row because of what he did to Delilah?
If you haven’t already, please check out his appearance on the Ed Sullivan show singing “It’s Not Unusual “. Imo that’s 🔥
That’s a top tune of his.
Yes!
Good tune!
Ok…. Now you’re listening to music my MOM and grandma liked. . One of the best “lounge singers” ever! 😘. Jones and Humperdinck. Both great voices.
I saw him in concert in Gothenburg, Sweden last summer. It was an open stage and just as the show started the heaven opened up and it was the worst rain pour ever. But the stage was under roof so Tom entered the stage and said "Hello Gothenburg, thank you for making me feel at home!" I guess it rains alot in Wales. But his voice....oh wow, as poweful as ever! Absolutley great show ❤
As a young young boy I had to be a good boy all day for mum to let me sit up and watch Tom on tv during the evening ❤❤❤
Now you know why he'll never fall in love again. For the end of the story, listen to The Green Green Grass of Home.
Yes, Salvo needs to react to The Green, Green, Grass of Home.
He's in his 80's now, isn't he? Whatever his age, I think he still sounds just as fantastic and powerful as he did in the 60's.
❤
Tom Jones has one of the most legendary voices of all time and still does incredibly .Respect. But this song often reminds me of our own little Aussie legend.Norman Gunstons iconic version of this song.. definitely worth a watch 😂
Tom Jones is one of my favorite male vocals. Just a treasure. Good reaction which I didn't see coming. Very cool 😎...oh my friend. You might want to get back to reacting to some more Yes. And if you do, I recommend, "Turn of The Century. " One of the most beautiful songs or ballets Yes has ever composed. It is a tear jerker about the famous sculptur artist Rodin who looses his woman to death and he decides to sculpt her image out of stone in his grief. It is absolutely FIRE!!! CHECK IT OUT!!!
I who have nothing. One of my favourite Tom Jones songs.
Hes still touring the world, our national icon.
Tom Jones was and still is FIRE !!!!!
After all these years Sir Tom still gives me shivers and goosebumps
Just found a song I've never heard from Tom before. It's called I know. What a voice aye. Our Welsh boy did good.
Sir Tom, the Welsh powerhouse.
🇬🇧 "What's New Pussycat" "Green Green Grass Of Home" "She's A Lady" "Kiss" plus many more, but I think that's enough to go on with. Happy listening 🎶🎼❤️
Many have tried but no one, no one can sing it like Tom.
I remember as a little girl my mom fangirling over him 💜
Nothing compares to tom jones' live version of "i who have nothing" - Is a MUST
Saw Sir Tom in Vegas 25 years ago, he was incredible! (He had just released his album of duets called Reload with “All Mine” & “Mama Told Me Not To Come” - so good!!)
Murder Ballards are so much fun. Dramatic with great music and a perfect chorus to sing along . Very popular subject 50 -60 s
It had a distinct Espanol flare.
It was at the height of Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass!
That's a song about a crime of passion.
I have to brag that I was so lucky to see Tom Jones in concert a few times. He’s amazing! Nope, I didn’t toss my panties but many other women did 😂
Song and the written word are gifts of the Welsh to the world and Sir Tom Jones delivered. Here in the south, we never really heard this song on the radio, but many people had the single or album.
Now in his 80’s I saw him in an open air concert at the Royal Naval College in Greenwich SE London last year, he still has it, it was the best concert I’ve been too and I’ve seen a few over the years!
Back then.... Tom Jones was a real heartthrob.
❤There is no voice like Tom Jones'. He is considered a Robust Baritone.....he has a combo of finesse and power which is uniquely Tom of course we all love It's Not Unusual but he has so many great hits. I can only think of a couple of "Murder Pop" songs.....Goodbye Earl, A Boy Named Sue(he tried to kill), Bohemian Rapsody and I shot the Sherrif. I am sure there are more. Maybe you will have a Murder Pop Marathon 😂😂
Green Green Grass Of Home
Yes, there is a mariachi influence in this song. I don't know if it's intentional, but it's there. It's the trumpets.
Murder ballads are not a big genre but they are captivating stories to listen to. The other one that I have heard that comes to mind, and I'm sure there are others I've heard, is "El Paso" by Marty Robbins (which also has a mariachi influence) and "The Night That The Lights Went Out In Georgia" by Vicki Lawrence. Both are good songs you should check out.
I was thinking of the pageantry of the bullfight when I heard the mariachi music. Maybe the story/lyrics mimic the arc of the bullfight.
We nearly rolled a tourbus singing this song 😂 rocking it side to side
"Green, Green Grass of Home"
There's nothing like a good murder song. Stellar performer. Thx Salvo !
Great reaction Sal, as always. Check out "I Who Have Nothing" next, (my fav)❤
Grew up in the Working Mens Club era in UK where everyone would go on a Saturday night to listen to a 'turn', have a game of bingo, drink lots of beer and dance to a DJ.
Delilah was so popular and everyone in the club would, in unison, go "Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha" after the "She stood there laughing" I still do it today and get some very strange looks.
"Murder ballad". lol! My mom loved this song, she adored Tom Jones. I heard this song probably hundreds of times growing up and your expressions made me laugh. Thanks for that!
Tom's voice is amazing. Love this song. Hard to sing the high notes in this one..lol. His voice is almost operatic...what a revenge song. 😮 you're right about the latin flair.
Hello! Always enjoy your authentic reactions...you are one of the best on CZcams.
I think I'm mostly caught up on the channel. My absolute favorite moment was when you realized Ozzie got his start as the front man for Sabbath! I think you'll have alot of fun if you run through some KISS! Great entertainment! For many years a must see live show.
I've been trying for, gosh, probably 50 years to figure out just what it is about Tom Jones' voice that just moves me right down to my soul, not to mention other more earthly bits...There's the power in the way he belts, the conviction in the broken "cry", the unabashedly seductive tone. But, to be honest, I think there are other singers who can pull off all those elements. I keep coming back to something about his vibrato, which somehow just has the perfect, well, vibration, for want of a better word, to bring everything together in a way that cuts through all your defenses and leaves you helpless.
His cameo on the fresh prince is priceless!
Excellent! HOWEVER, You Need To Watch This LIVE!!! ❤
I love his voice, my Mom 💔 was a fan of Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdinck ♥️♥️💖💖
When you feature Tom you have to use a live version. There are many to choose from with this song, including: The Ed Sullivan Show, and the brilliant version at the Queen’s Jubilee, featuring an entirely different arrangement, and a very different Prince Harry waving the flag and singing along!
The unofficial anthem of Wales 🏴
American song, a Welsh anthem.😂😂😂😂 just funny how this world works.
Sir Tom Jones IS Welsh.
Tom Jones Shes a lady❤
He's still active. Judge in Voice UK. He really was (is) a ladies man. In the 60-70s women use to though underware at him. Watch the live "Treat her right" to se him in action.
He also had some hits later in the 90s, "Kiss" (cover of Prince hit) and "Sexbomb"
You have to do the Live version from his show and Treat Her Right Live if you want to see Tom break out some moves. True story my friend and I were propositioned by him in the early 90s when he toured New Zealand, we were housemaids at the hotel he was staying in at the time here in Christchurch. We were young and naive and locked ourselves in the maids cupboard lol.
I remember when this came out....I was 9 😮
I was 13! 😳
I was 6. Remember it well as my father loved it and played it a lot! lol
His song that I remember the most from when I was real young, like in elementary school, is What’s New Pussycat. Makes me smile remembering it. Haven’t heard itt in decades. LOL!
@@leetroy3129 I remember that one too!
Look out for him and Janis Joplin live about 1969. Your brain might explode with the intensity!! 🙂
Horns were present in a lot of music from that time period. Johnny Cash, Herb Alpert and Tijuana Brass.....funny how things like that happen. For me, I know the time, now you are learning.
Yes mariachi band..🔥🔥🔥...
Sir Tom could emote.. convey feelings..so well...murder ballads were a much more common thing in the past..the traveling Bards who sang the news often elaborated to make their skills remembered...even Johnny Cash has one..Folsom Prison Blues..I recommend Home Free's redition 😁...
You should watch his performances..this one as you mentioned was also recorded live on the Ed Sullivan Show..same with I'll Never Fall In Love Again and the one you missed I Who Have Nothing...the tension and the direction subtly given to the band only serve to make the songs more enjoyable...
Ahh Tom..such an amazing voice and talent...🌿🌿🌿
Fantastic! Another great murder ballad is from Cher and her hit Dark Lady. She's another rabbit hole to go down.
Here are a couple of other Murder Ballads that you may like. Would love to see your reaction to the following. Banks Of The Ohio by Olivia Newton John, They’re Hanging Me Tonight by Marty Robbins and Where The Wild Roses Grow by Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue. These are all amazing songs.
Be has always been able to put emotion in his songs here are a couple ones not often listened to by reactors but I really like "I Believe" and The Impossible Dream" Lots more but a couple favourites to start
He's my number 1 singer.
This is a killer song.
Great reaction to this awesome track from Sir Tom and for another standout song by him you should react to "I Who Have Nothing" because it is a must listen !
I think that Tom would have made a first class opera singer if he’d taken another path.
Tom Jones is a national treasure even tho he is British. I assume it’s the same in the UK. He can do no wrong. ❤
A few more songs in that genre (or close to) would be 'Frankie and Johnny' by Sam Cooke, 'Mack the Knife' by Bobby Darrin or 'Send Me To the Electric Chair' Bessie Smith is the OG but Hugh Laurie has a great version on one of his albums. Journey even has a song like this 'Line of Fire' (which I think is an homage to Frankie and Johnny?)
A man who couldn't control his emotions... tragic 😮
They have tried to ban the song over the years because of its lyrics but have failed completely. It is a firm crowd pleaser and karaoke favorite. The live perfomance mention on the show is on You Tube and worth checking, even if just for your own pleasure as it has a live ochestra with him and he sounds amazing. If anything his vocal is clearer in that performance than on the studio version.
Pop music on the cusp of opera
There’s no arguing Sir Tom Jones’ talent, but the message of the song hits me differently today than it did the 1st time I heard it on the radio. I’m now more aware of how many men kill their SO. So when Garth Brooks came out with Thunder Rolls with the roles reversed, I was pretty happy with it. But you know, the radio wouldn’t let him include that last verse & he could only sing it in concert. The message I rec’d is it’s okay for a man to kill a woman but not for her to kill her man (socially speaking, not legally of course). 🤷♀️
Love this 🇮🇪
You did Goodbye Earl by the Chicks a while ago. That was a murder ballad too!!
This was definitely a switch up for Tom Jones but he definitely pulled it off with her powerful vocals
You should see and listen to,the video of Treat her right,you’ll see how the ladies reacted to Tom.And how Tom reacted to the ladies.
Nice job listening to the artist before speaking! ❤
Try & catch some of his live performances, tunes like this or "It's Not Unusual" Tom was great.
Salvo !!...you skipped the middle song of this trifecta..lol...
You should listen to
💥...I Who Have Nothing...
Writers were scrambling to Sir Tom's door hoping to have him sing their songs...
Once you hear this recommendation you'll understand the order and completeness of the trio...
Thank you 😁...🌿🌿🌿
Well, love can sometimes drive you to murder !
Salvo - please try the Sensational Alex Harvey Band's version of this song , and while you are at it try their Faith Healer.
For murder ballads, Nick Cave is a stand out. Check out his duet with Kylie Minogue, Where The Wild Roses Grow, official video version.
So good!
You must play ‘The Green Green Grass of Home’ next
yeah vocaly superb, passionate lyricaly, nice arangement n intresting use of horns kinda gives it a mexican feel 2 me, gd production 2. toms sings mnay classics n gives em a new leae of life, hes known 4 wats up pussycat, gren green grass of home, lots mre
I'm surprised that no-one till now has suggested "Treat Her Right" live It will show you the other kind of performance he was famous for.
Congrats on finding him. "I'll Never Fall In Love Again" is better imho
"She's a Lady" "It's Not Unusual" "Green Green Grass of Home" "You're My World" "Help Yourself" "I Who Have Nothing" "Sex Bomb"
next green, green grass of home
Love watching your channel, just to watch your expression, when you listen to the music, what about George Michael next? X
Mmm! Careless Whisper!
Well....if you want to see and hear more, try duet with Janis Joplin 'Raise your hand' or more 'mature' Tom singing 'sex bomb'.
Plenty more to listen to. I'm Coming Home, It's Not Unusual are a couple of other ones worth a look
Hey Sal! Check out his song She’s A Lady. It’s very different than this. His song What’s New Pussycat is cute. Songs from my youth,
Got to watch him preform. Pretty good, like some others better though.
The Alex Harvey version:
Change my mind.
Check out "I Who Have Nothing". He was so popular that at live shows, women would literally throw panties on the stage!
Green Green Grass of Home please.
More Elvis 🙏
