Tom Jones – Live Duets [[2023) with Stevie/Smokey/Supremes a.o.

[jack020]

Collection of TV performances broadcast by ABC and BBC Networks recorded between 1969 and 1972. Includes BBC broadcasts. Professionally remastered. In the handful of years that the ‘This Is Tom Jones’ show aired on television, a host of famous actors, comedians and singers graced the stage.
After it made its debut appearance, the programme went on to have two more series with a total of 65 episodes by the time it came to an end in 1971. Perhaps most impressive was the calibre of musical talent that Jones managed to book for the show. The series ran from 1969 to 1971 and saw him singing with everyone from Jerry Lee Lewis to Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Jones’ authenticity as a singer and performer shine through on…

…these prized duets that often highlighted his own musical tastes which were varied and eclectic. London Calling revisits these incredible performances, made for prime time television audiences in the UK and USA over 50 years ago. Featuring an array of exclusive performances from iconic artists in the captivating company of the one and only Tom Jones! Fully restored and professionally remastered original TV broadcasts, presented with background notes and timeline photos.

Love me some Sir Tom. I have enjoyed viewing many of these performances over the years. I will be picking up this CD set. Thanks Jack!

As Real Gone Music has been working with Andy Williams rareties, might there be a chance of them putting together a similar package which could include Andy's duets with the Supremes [Diana & Jean-led], the Temptations, Smokey Robinson & the Miracles, Jackson 5 and other musical guests throughout the year?

Tom is a longtime judge on The Voice UK which recently finished again. From time to time he does an impromptu [[?) request song and the man is still in fine voice for his 82 years.

Even better than the above were all Tom's Voice UK duets with JHud.

What a great unusual set. I guess I didn’t know he had had a variety show back then. What a voice he has. if these recordings have been preserved nicely this looks like a fantastic set.
