57 episodes of This Is Tom Jones were aired from February 1969 to January 1971. Originally broadcast on ITV and America’s ABC network, the variety show captured the singer in his prime, when he was one of the world’s greatest and most original performers.
Maybe it’s that deep, beautiful baritone that can shake a concert venue to the core. Or the way he wears those oh-so-tight pants — well into his 60s. Or the way he curls his lip just so when he belts out the chorus of “She’s a Lady.” “Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh,” indeed. There is no maybe when it [...]
