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?

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!

Remembering Primo Levi on what would've been his birthday.
Italian-Jewish chemist Levi survived Auschwitz and went to write 'If This Is a Man', the last book to make me weep. Image
Born in Turin in 1919, prejudice followed Levi into his professional life, and the qualification “Of Jewish Race” that was printed on his diploma initially prevented him from finding work. Image
In 1943, Levi and his family fled to northern Italy, where he joined an Italian resistance group. However, when he and his comrades were arrested by Fascist forces later that year, Levi admitted he was a Jew to avoid being shot as a partisan and was sent to an Italian prison camp ImageImage
