musicJun 7, 202617309

Tom Jones turned 86 on 7 June 2026, born 7 June 1940 in Treforest, Wales. Archival TV performances resurfaced, including 'Long Time Gone' with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (This Is Tom Jones, 1969), 'Raise Your Hand' with Janis Joplin (This Is Tom Jones, 1969), and '(It Looks Like) I'll Never Fall In Love Again' on The Dusty Springfield Show (5 September 1967). Jones says he will keep recording and performing as long as his voice allows, a vow that underscores a six-decade career that produced hits like 'It's Not Unusual' and the James Bond theme 'Thunderball.'

One of my fav facts ever. When he did a cover of burning down the house together with the cardigans, his voice was such a strong baseline they had to record and Mix it separately. Such a fantastic cover youtu.be/iYuldgIOelY?...

The only one I can't ID is the woman between Joan and who I think is Sonny, maybe Joey Heatherton?

Many happy returns to Tom Jones, born on this day in 1940. In this snippet from his Bond theme THUNDERBALL, you can hear the welsh warbler’s opinion of the film’s climactic underwater battle.

During his prime, Tom Jones was a force of nature. A kinetic performer with a booming voice, Jones (born on this date in 1940) took America by storm in the mid-1960s. ABC’s This is Tom Jones variety show often paired him with premier performers, such as: Joe Cocker; Janis Joplin; & Aretha Franklin.
