Sir Tom Jones is 81 years old today, I'm sure he could still dance like this if he wanted to.
Please enjoy a thread from his tv show a lifetime ago, it's hard to comprehend how many musical giants he hosted on there.

A duet with Janis Joplin shows us how well their two voices sat together. Should've/could've had more of this!

And with Aretha, possibly the only other person that wouldn't need to compete with his voice.

'The Beat Goes On' with Cher doing her native American vibe.

This proves that the world really needed a Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young collab album

Dueting with 'The Killer' and the menace is palpable

Joe Cocker in his prime was a force to be reckoned with!

With minimum effort, Little Richard took Tom Jones to school.

He should of done a lot more songs with Tina Turner, their voices work so well together

Ray Charles showing Tom how it's done

Smokey Robinson's voice is sooo fragile in comparison!

Even Stevie Wonder is here to play!

Wilson Pickett has voice that works so well with Tom Jones, missed a trick here.

Which leads me to number 4 in my top 25 favourite Tom Jones jokes.

👉🏼 What's made of brass and sounds like Tom Jones?

Trombones.

Find yourself someone that looks at you the way @thedavidcrosby looks at @RealSirTomJones.

I'm adding to this thread because I omitted some absolute gems initially.
How about Tom Jones and Ella Fitzgerald, effortless as you like. Lady Ella was as smooth as butter in this.

Sammy Davis Jr adding a bit of stardust to What The World Needs Now

Even the Moody Blues got in on the action. Stonking tune too.

Folks, it's Johnny and June Carter Cash with Tom Jones!

And Cher is back in what is possibly the most 1970's video I've ever seen.

Which leads us to Dusty Springfield. She's on absolute form here!
