Pete Donegan Will do👍🏼

Agreed...you're amazing..

Regardless, it was amazing. And to hear Tom Jones singing as well as he did back in the day, was just magic.

Peter, was an amazing session. Hope things go onward and upward for you and your family......are going onwards and upwards!!! 😀

You're right...I watching from Indonesia...2021.. I watch over and over again..lovely

awesome performance but I am a Yank

Amen

One of the best moments from the voice I've seen in a long time

Peter..Sir Tom Jones is great...Your fine wrote the song for him was greater.... The passing of your and he relives the memory and added you in hie memoir that's truely great.. The greatest You sang with him. The Future... The Present ..and The Past... What's the answer... Memories..and Mindset.. All In #1

Oh man! His voice might actually be richer now

Well there was Tony Bennett who was recording albums with current artists until he was almost 90. But Tony didn't do the things Tom has done. Though I am sure Tony created quite a swath as he has moved through his life. To hear Sir Tom's voice even for a little bit was a thrill. The time he has spent on that show is some of the best on TV. In fact it is really the only reason I watch. I watch the kids version quite a bit because it hasn't yet become sullied. And every now and then you find a Gracie-Jayne Fitzgerald from Sir Toms stomping grounds, Wales. She is going to be special. It would be a fun thing to have Tom sing with Gracie.

david cochran i’ll have to check her out. Thanks for that. Have you heard the new single yet? It’s #11 in the Heritage Charts: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/max8Z6SavbDQdo0.html

Absolutely agreed. He is amazing. Such power and control still. What a beautiful story.

Because there’s only 1 Tom Jones ♥️

I agree

Cate Min thanks so much 🙏 so happy you liked it. Have you heard the new single? open.spotify.com/track/6J1ahqR4QvwnCWxnEuAOyq?si=p7BLM1yHR7S55k9Pxc361A

His father Lonnie wrote it indeed. When Lonnie brought the single out it wasn't a succes. (1962) At some point Tom Jones heard about the song and asked Lonnie if he could bring it out as a single as well. (since no one knew Lonnie even brought it out. Tom Jones brought it out in 1967 and it hit number 2 in the charts. In 1976 Elvis Presley brought this song out with permission of Lonnie as well (since he heard Tom Jones singing it and Tom and Elvis knew each other).

Lauren Kilgannon awww 😊 thank you so much for that lovely message. I really do enjoy hearing that really touching story. So sorry for your loss but at least you have such wonderful memories to carry with you in your heart. Hopefully once this pandemic is easing away we’ll get to see each other again at a gig. In the meantime, I hope you’ll like my new single kzfaq.info/get/bejne/max8Z6SavbDQdo0.html

Same story here my grandad loved him and new him well. I no his other son Andy I grew up with him

@@peterdoneganmusic Best of luck Peter even tho you don’t need it clearly talented like you’re dad and I only just seen this now because I searched you’re dad up then lead onto you. I can imagine that was the best feeling imaginable singing with a legend like Tom and someone who you’re dad wrote a song that was a hit for unbelievable.

Great story, thank you for sharing!!!

He gets recognition from all of us mate.

Disappointed when i found out he has a son he does not wish to acknowledge. Put me right off him

@@peterdoneganmusic How I would surmise Jones' recognition to the extent I would have the knowledge to comment: In the US, Tom Jones has his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame., which I find suitable in that his impact in the States has been as a solid broad-strokes entertainer moreso than someone who would identify himself as or be identified by others as "Rock & Roll" In the UK -- Sir Tom IS the British Elvis, and it's not even up for debate. In the Kingdom, he transcends entertainment and rises to the level of cultural icon. BTW, to call your father the British Hank Williams would not be hyperbolic -- the nature and volume of his songwriting plus his influence over what became the British Invasion merits favorable comparison. I know you're diligently carrying on his legacy as you chart your own musical path.

Him and Sherly Bassey

Cath McPhail you’re forgetting the incomparable Elvis Presley, who could hit notes and had a range very few could imitate or compare, I love Tom Jones but Elvis was the King!

So glad you enjoyed it Steven and thanks for the message. Where are you from?

@@peterdoneganmusic from Glasgow. Hope once this madness is over with you can get out playing live again. Please come to Glasgow 🙂

@@Cradle1scot I want to. I normally come to The Ferry. Keep an eye on the Website for dates: www.peterdonegan.com

Aww that’s so sweet of you to say, Donna. Where are you from?

Same here 😭

I had the great privilege to know Lonnie and he would be so proud that Tom Jones sang his song great and so proud

I really like Peter. Lovely Guy. Come on though Peter looks the image of Lonnie and Sir Tom is surprised? lol ALSO, Lonnie did NOT write the song for Sir Tom. Sir Tom made it his own, fantastically but this song was written a year or two while Sir Tom was playing with The Tommy Scott Orchestra in Wales and not widely known. haha.......................Makes a good story though..:)

Hi Peter , I subscribed the moment you’d sing with Tom Jones. super wow both together 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Thanks 10-111-2021. All the best 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. God bless you and your family 🙏

Me I adored his tv show.

I love me some tom but Elvis was good. now I see the turmoil Conway twitty had with tom and Elvis, they all tried for an Elvis sound and produced there own magic

Rachel VINCENT aww 😊 thank you so much. So happy you liked it. Have you heard you the new single? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/max8Z6SavbDQdo0.html

No, but I will give it a listen. Thank you.

Yeah. I would have been the same if I didn’t have to play too.

theseeker123 thank you for that lovely 😊 comment

Exactly how I felt. Such a special moment and Im pleased to watch this and know it was not manufactured.

Awww 🥰 thanks 🙏. Dad was a very proud Scot! Where are you from?

Glynn Jones oh man! Glynn, that is such a wonderful thing to say. For days afterwards I could believe it wasn’t a dream.

I truly believe that things "come around". Your dad wrote a great song for him and Sir Tom was able to "give back" to you, Lonnie's son, years later. It was beautiful to watch. I'd love to see the whole thing.

Awww thanks so much Keith. Where about in the US are you? Florida myself

Aww 🥰 great to see people still have such fond memories. Where are you from?

Pete Donegan Hi I just found your channel and I am a big fan I Saw the original video with Tom and I was wondering whether you could get access or do you have access to the unedited version that you could put all do you have it on the channel I would really like to hear the full version

Shay M aww 😍 thank you so much. So happy you enjoyed it. Have you heard my single also? Here’s the link: open.spotify.com/track/6J1ahqR4QvwnCWxnEuAOyq?si=p7BLM1yHR7S55k9Pxc361A&nd=1&nd=1 I hope you like it

Clint Sheehan Oh wow!! 😮 Thats brilliant. Thanks so much

Thanks Dan. Adrenaline can get you through some high notes! 😂 Where do you hail from?

I'm from Edmonton Alberta Canada. Have performed for most of my life. I grew up in a musical household as well. Not to your level but music is a very important part of our lives. Have carried down the tradition to my kids as well. Thank you for the reply and I wish you nothing but success and happiness.

@@danomite22 god bless you. And the same to you. You reckon they’d like my music in Alberta? I don’t know if you’ve heard it; www.peterdonegan.com

@@peterdoneganmusic I wanted to listen to more of your original music before answering. Edmonton has a very eclectic music scene. They really embrace all types. Several medium size venues in Edmonton. The Winspear Centre and the Jubilee Auditorium. Or a suburb called Sherwood Park that has a more intimate Theatre based stage that's seats 500 to 550 called Festival Place. Beautiful venue with amazing acoustics! I have seen several artists perform there and have also had the opportunity to perform there myself. I think you could have a great time here. Hope that helps. Great chatting with you.

Amen to that. He’s old school man. Where y’all from?

Yeah He and Elvis used to be friends as well They met in Vegas in the 60s and hit it off. He is from Wales originally and started 1963... Long career 😎

Yes he was good friends with Elvis. he met him several times during their careers.

Just a bit, yeah. He can hold a tune. 😂 The guy is a legend. He's nearly 80. What a bloody voice!

@@rw8733 He is a great admirer of The Killer Jerry Lee Lewis as well. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/abtzlLeQ2NORg2Q.html

Both of them are superstars

Awww so glad you enjoyed this. Where are you from?

Thanks so much. It truly was special. Had no idea at the time that so many people would love it so much. I am very humbled

If you read this Peter,your Dad started the post war " pop and rock" music in the UK,and some would say even the world single handedly and changed the life of millions of youths,now adults,forever.I saw Bill Wymans blues band in Manchester a few years ago and about halfway through his set he announced a number,thus :- " we are now going to do ' midnight special ' in homage to Lonnie Donegan without whom,let's face it NONE OF US WOULD BE HERE ON THIS STAGE " I had the privilege of being with Lonnie in the dressing room after that gig and joked that he had ruined my life " as I wanted to be a doctor when I was young then I saw you and heard you on that bloody guitar and that's all I have done for the last 53 years,played my guitar".And i have enjoyed every minute of it,me and a million others."Your dad just chuckled.It is gratifying that at last your dad is now being recognised ,and acknowledged on TV and the media as the true massive catalyst that put guitars in our hands and on the road to fame ,fortune and riches( well actually i got left behind ,but at 74 i am still strumming away,and loving it.) Ps, even the previous arrogance of the Beatles has diminished and they have started to admit the massive debt they owe to your father,the fantastic and great Lonnie Donegan.Obviously Lennon and Harrison before they died.

Actually it was a Solo gig by Lonnie,not Bill Wymans gig as Lonnie was in rock heaven by then.I am typing this at 3:30 am and my brain is sodden ( with age,not booze !)
