Tom Jones's hero was Wilson Pickett! This is a real blast to see the two of them together🎶🤙👍

Tom had a growl, but was always respectful towards his guest, and always let them take centre stage!

In an interview Tom said he wanted to be like his idol-- Wilson Pickett. That smile on Tom's face says it all. Singing with him idol.

Tom could sing anything with anybody. His voice was and still is incredible.

this is the 60's brother. They seem to be having so much fun together and uniting through the music. There is no black/white, but just a shared passion and love for the music. These are two little kids who don't see black and white or know that the world thinks they shouldn't be soulmates.......great music, great video, great comments.........................and an incredible duet.

That's double-barrelled soul right there, taking us to church. 💜

Wilson Pickett was his hero and Tom wanted to be a Soul singer but the money was in Pop so that's where he went

What was so very special about Tom Jones and us black folks back in the 1960's and 70's, was that Tom Jones was ONE OF THE ONLY MAIN WHITE SINGERS, who the Black folks CONSIDERED ONE OF THEIR OWN. They REALLY LOVED Tom Jones!!!😀👍

There’s a reason why all these legends respected and still do respect Tom so much. He has it all! I think he has suffered a bit from the same thing you have identified with Elvis - he was an entertainer who hosted tv shows etc etc…so people overlooked his pure vocal talent. But those in the know knew!

And this is all live with no auto tune , bloody awesome ❤

Tom mixed it with the best of them...and was never out of place or upstaged. 2 Legends right here

Tom jones breaks microphones with his voice. I love these two singers.

The chemistry between these two is insane.

Damn straight TJ should be on a list of great soulful vocalists.

Tom has a natural effortless voice! Duets good with anybody. Smokey, Nancy Wilson etc❤❤❤❤❤

That’s why John Farnham was fanboying so much over Tom Jones.

These two gentlemen admired each other, to see this is such a joyful thing. Tom is an international treasure!!!

WOW! Two power houses together. Talk about knock ones socks off! Phenomenal

Tom Jones was considered the Welsh Elvis. My Ma was nuts about him back in the 70's. He's still got it.

DAMN THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! GO WILSON PICKETT!!!!!

Could you imagine being the sound man that night? Tom was and is a crooner! Long time lover of Tom Jones' talent!

I remembered Wilson Pickett as a great singer but didn't remember him singing with Tom. They both were really great as a duet. Thanks for bringing this back for the older crowd and the newer ones that may not have known about either of these guys.

I had chills rippling through my body listening to those two belting out the growls and their beautiful bravado. As you said, they have true chemistry between them because you can't fake that. Wilson Pickett is so soulful and smooth but to hear this white man from Wales sing like that is just too much. When Tom's voice goes down into his lower register with his soft soulful voice it makes me weak in the knees!

LEGENDS! It really doesn't get any better. Fabulous reaction, too!

The first time I heard "Mustang Sally" I actually thought it was Tom Jones singing. I found out later it was Wilson Pickett. Fooled me!!

That is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever listened to. Gonna go send this to my dad! Had no idea Tom Jones had that kind of raw freak talent.

They were really enjoying this. Absolute legends. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿♥️♥️

There is a performance, also on Tom Jones' TV show, of Tom and Janis Joplin singing 'Raise Your Hand' that is absolutely fantastic.

Im a John Farnham fan but Im also a huge Tom Jones fan. Both are in my opinion the greatest singers of all time. Please check out more from Tom.

I just wish we had talent as good as this today, in music.

Tom Jones can sing Anything and make it his own.

Tom was so good vocally he could have been right at home on stage singing with the David Ruffin era Temptations/Dennis Edwards Psychedelic era Temptations as the host of his show.

Love both of these singers, some funky 60s dancing going down there.

Can NOT get better than that. Ever. Pure raw talent, LIVE.

Lord I saw Tom Jones and Wilson Pickett and clicked. I have never seen this video before. WOW 🙌🏾🙌🏾. You should check out Tom Jones early work cause he singing all kinds of music including jazz.

Yeah!!!!! You're right! Tom Jones is famous...but most people don't know of these collaborations with some of the great singers coming out of the US in those days. and Tom could kick it with them!!! Let's just pretend there's a list and when we find someone great we can just say I'm gonna add them to my list!

Omg this for me is an eye opener, are they kidding me holy shit this is something incredible, the electricity I felt watching that blew my mind, thank you bro

Tom Jones is just incredible, we love him in Australia. I've never heard of Wilson picket till your channel, and this is the first time I've heard him, he is phenomenal! This video is just gold, and so is your reaction, I LOVED IT SO MUCH. 😍

That was awesome. An unexpectedly brilliant paring!

Some matches are made in Heaven. I've been a Tom fan forever and know what he can do with his voice, but thank you for introducing me to Wilson Pickett. This was back when Tom had his own show.

Nice to see you reacting to some of the classic singers from the 60's & 70's. Tom Jones is a Welsh singer who has one of the smoothest powerful voices around. And he was a showman too, in fact he was a big heart-throb with the ladies. He has so many hits such as "It's Not Unusual", "What's New Pussycat?", "Green, Green Grass of Home", "Delilah", "I'll Never Fall In Love Again", "She's a Lady". He covers a lot of genres. Hope you will look into more of them. He is still performing & is a coach on "The Voice" UK version. He also had a variety show from 69 - 71 & had some of the biggest music stars at the time.

Tom has absolutely the best vocal ability. I'm old enogh to be around when he was in his hey day in the 60s. Compared to some of the crap delivered these days, he is in a league of his own. Great work and kove the analysis.

What a duo!!! Brilliant!!💙🎶💙🎶🎶

There’s a song by Tom Jones that has been reacted to by reactors lately… I think it’s called “I’ll never fall in love”, you need to watch this! That is the best vocal performance that I think you will ever find of his. Then you need to watch Shirley Bassey, his fellow welsh singer who does bond songs like Goldfinger and diamonds are forever, she sings a song called “i who have nothing”, which Tom Jones also sings . Do both of their versions.

We're so blessed to have a KZfaq archive available for people to discover the breadth and height of some of the talent, past, and continuing. I only recently discovered amazing people like John Farnham, Jimmy Barnes, Steve Marriott, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Tops, all of them! More greats to add to those who thrill and satisfy my soul like Tom Jones and "Wicked" Pickett and Sam Cooke and Bruce Springsteen and Brook Benton and... the list goes on. Each unique talents.

Wilson Pickett, what a legend and Tom Jones. The greats, I miss this generation. Pure MAGIC!

The BEST!!! Best reaction, best medley, and by far the BEST HEY JUDE I've ever heard!! Wow!

I don't think we have enough time to list the legendary singers that Tom has sung with.... going down the TJ rabbit hole will take you until you're old and grey Nick ! He is still soooo good... Not a bad career for a little Welsh boy ....an absolute legend himself for sure.

Man, our generation had the greatest music!

Tom Jones sang many genres, but really excelled at blues. Songs like "I've been loving you too long", " Try a little Tenderness", "It's a man's, man's world" were phenomenal. All fron his tv show. But in my opinion his Oct 2 2969 version of "I can't stop loving you" was his masterpiece.

No question for Me, that's the BEST rendition of "Hey Jude" that I have ever listened to. These guys took it to a whole new level, just fantastic! 👍👍👍

There is a video of Wilson doing Land of 1000 Dances that was filmed in Africa before an all African audience. He put on a fabulous show with a full band including horns, dancing, etc. It is well worth a watch as it shows how popular Wilson was even across the world. Great reaction. Cheers from Canada

Tom Jones sang with all the greats and I mean ALL of them

The Tom Jones show was great. He sang many styles with many different acts. Superb.

im proud to see mr jones and pickett live on TV...

I imagine what kind of world this would be if people could come together like singers back in the day, of different races...❤

Long Time Gone, Tom Jones ... prepare to be BLOOOOOOWN AWAY

Ummm I think Wilson Picket might just be the coolest dude to ever walk the face of the earth. Jesus that was good! Probably the best male duet live performance I've ever seen. Just extraordinary. Thanks Nick!

I was lucky enough to see BOTH of these artists LIVE...

Having two singers that great and that powerful on the stage together at one time warps spacetime.

Little Richard and Tom Jones duet old soul rock and roll just as good as this

There's a performance by Tom and Janis Joplin on his show also and they tore it up. Best live duet I have seen, the chemistry was astonishing. There's no other decade like the 60's for the amount of power vocalists that came out; not for the U.S anyway. You had Tina Turner, Aretha, Patsy Cline, Etta, Gene Pitney,Janis Joplin , Stevie Wonder,Roy Orbison, Otis Redding, These two, Creedence Clearwater, Joe Cocker, and dozens of others all at the same time. The 60's were ICONIC

I just love watching your reactions. You always make me smile.

and I too love a growl. Wilson was his main idol I think! He said when he started out Wilson Pickett was who everyone was trying to sound like! Tom must've been thrilled to sing with his hero!

He had the most powerful voice I ever heard during the late 60s and 70s. When he didn't have his show, he toured everywhere including Las Vegas where he would see Elvis Presley at his show. He is from Wales, where they got beautiful voices and some have the ability to sing too. However Wales is the country where he was born where his father was coal miner.

That was epic! Two legends & a legendary reaction as always!

Tom Jones can still do it all, he’ll be 83 this June 2023 and still tours the world.. His voice is pure gold, listen to him sing Cry To Me as he sings it in his Golden Years, absolutely amazing!!

Tom Jones and Jennifer Hudson did an amazing duet on the voice.

My dear Tom this was fabulous with Wilson Pickett. Tom the best entertainer of my lifetime ❤

I love Sir Tom Jones so much I planned my wedding date around Tom's concert schedule. 2/6/03 @ the Las Vegas MGM. Best day ever!

How much fun are these two having, and how much talent is in the room, crazy

Thank you, thank you, thank you.... Did I say it, yes, thank you for showing me this for the first time... Didn't know Hey Jude could be done like this..... and just in case you forgot....... Thank you

Two of my most favorite singers on this planet!! The first time I heard Tom Jones on the radio, I thought he was black.

I am so blessed to have grown up listening to artists and music like this ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is my first time seeing wilson picket live and you can tell they are really grooving together. I read when tom jones first started recording they had to Get special microphones because his voice was so powerful it would blow the Mike.❤❤❤

Not only are they great singers, they are great entertainers. Great reaction, you are one of the best.

I love that they are both just having so much fun.

I was in first grade in Riverside California in 1967 and became friends with Tom Jones second cousin BoBo Jones was her name. I didn't believe her at first but her Mother came to help out in our class one day and confirmed it. Such a small world we live in. This made me think of her♥️.

This has to be one of my favorite reactions ever! Your surprise and delight in the “ vocal squalls” is wonderful. Plus your facial expressions are fabulous! ❤

Wilson Picket. Phenomenal. They’re goading each other. Two working class kids.

Yes Wilson was the man back in the day and my mom loved Tom Jones!!!

I just love seeing the enjoyment on your face. They’re both iconic.

Trust your ears ..beautiful!!!

Finally, I have been waiting for this reaction. Glad I found it. Wasn't sure who was going to be doing it but I was hoping it would be a black man with a REAL appreciation for what soul inside of the music sounds like and looks like. Not a poser fake reacting. Wilson Picket IS soul music and Tom could hang with him in the genre and as the song Hey Jude says "make it better". You can tell Tom was in awe of what was happening throughout this medley and a dream he once had was taking place. He was singing with the man he idolized. Your reaction was great! I usually dont like when someone interupts in the middle and stops the flow but you did it at all the right times and what you said and expressed was right on the money. These two vocalists...artists, were having the time of their lives together in that moment and pushing each other, letting it all hang out. Truly one of the best live performances and rock/soul moments ever captured. Loved this reaction! Edit: Just went back and watched it again! GREAT STUFF! "...Tom be loosenin' his tie..." "...Wilson, listen to that vocal fry! .....he got that cat growl down!" "...Tom gonna make me knock everything over!"..."...Jesus, ...y'all are psychotic!" [Hanky smackin the camera] Really enjoyed this! Second Edit: I'm sorry, had to come back again. Been down the TJ and WP rabbit hole and after watching this AGAIN the nuances and add libs of this performance are so amazing. Wilson reaching over and touching Tom on the shoulder when he sings "...don't carry the world upon your shoulder", that look in his eyes is so sincere. And Tom's improvised "In the midnight hour" reference to the previous song during their runs and Wilsons growls at the end of Hey Jude. Man this was just amazing. It makes me so happy just watching these two crush these songs. And your reaction...heightened the experience. Thank you for that.

One of the great duets, would have loved to see Wilson Picket and Jimmy Barnes together.

Oh, my God, I never saw Wilson Pickett. Go with Tom Jones before or vice versa. Now I know why Tom Jones moved and had that grown in his voice because he was emulating his hero. This is bloody awesome, thank you. I gotta find some more Wilson pick it now. This is I just love it.

Spectacular performance by these two legends!

They’re totally vibing off each other …. You don’t see that anymore but at least we have this ❤❤❤❤

Yum yum yum. Just a tasty performance all around. Imagine being in that audience.

I haven’t seen anything Wilson Pickett in a long time. This was great! My father had the Wilson Pickett Right On album, and we used to listen to that all the time. Good music back then!

Made my heart feel good. ❤

Yep, Picket had it. And it's still good as hell! 🇺🇸😃👍🔥🎄

Both so strong and easy. Born to sing.

So glad you caught this. His duets with all the greats including Janis Joplin on his US TV shows are a must see.

This IS brutal! Power unleashed! God have mercy!

Omg! Fabulous. Amazing. 🥰

Helluva performance!!!! Didn't know that they ever sang together . But Tom has sung with just about everyone in that time period in every genre of music. Thanks for sharing this video with your followers , TS. Am very glad that I got to see it and very appreciative to for that. Am going to be smiling all day long because of this....people are gonna think I've gone nuts....wink. That's ok. They'll get over it...... :)

I love your reaction to this. Ive seen this video dozens of times an it never gets old. Tom and Wilson create magic together. Your reaction was the same as mine. "Wait, what? I gotta hear that again!" 😂❤

These guys had incredible powerful voices easily in the top 10 of all time

I grew up listening to all of this music and enjoyed it - we had a wealth of talent and options to listen to but honestly, I never really fully appreciated it at the time. When I look back I now realize how extremely good we had it. My first three vinyls were The Beach Boys, The Beatles, and yes, Wilson Pickett! I enjoyed your presentation especially since I had never seen the two of these fellows together. Likewise, I enjoyed your energy! Bravo!
