      I'm Growing Old is my favorite. 💜
      Growing old is a privilege and a challenge. I grew old too (now 65), but my best friend is a little Hawaiian lady who is 87. She has great positive Energy which inspires me. Your energy and outlook inspires me, too! I almost got to see you perform in San Jose, but it was cancelled, and I was so heartbroken. Hopefully, I WILL get to see/hear you perform before one of us passes away. 😊 I luv every song you've ever sung, but most of all, 'What's New, Pussycat", which I scream-sing in my truck while I drive the lonely highway to town in Texas, where I live. Keep growing old, Mr. Tom Jones! This world needs You! 💗💗💗

McDonald's in my hometown opened in 1970. Three burgers, one fries, one fountain soda, for 96 cents. I can't remember if the burgers were cheeseburgers. (But I would think they were.) I distinctly remember always getting 4 cents change back. Back in the day. 😊

    There should be a televised special honoring Sir Tom Jones…and showing ALL of the amazing artists he has worked with over the years! Do it while he’s still alive to enjoy it!

    Just love the energy in the room with the dancers in the background…reminds me of the James Brown lyric “all the long haired hippies and the Afro baskets all get together on the good foot”

    That kicked ass! Growing up in the 70s I thought of Tom Jones as "old people music", but recently come to see how awesome he is. What an epic combo!

      I thought the same also a youngin in the 70's, my mother who is 80 now loved both Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdick..lol. Though I always liked them both, they have a new place in my ❤.

      Even in recent years, check out his "Praise and blame" album.
      It's all there.
      But this duet?
      Makes my day every time I watch it.

    I had the privilege of watching Tom Jones perform from the wings and he had the most powerful voice imaginable. After the show he talked to us about Elvis , Janis, Jimmy Page and John Lennon, and he was just an all around cool guy
