Tom Jones was one of the most popular British singers during the peak of his career. Even as he ages, he doesn’t lose his touch or his incredible talent for singing.
In this incredible live concert at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London, Tom Jones performs the emotional song entitled “I’m Growing Old.” The audience is silent, captivated by Jones’ mesmerizing voice.
Before Jones begins to sing, a voiceover in the background announces the era of a changing world – the year is 1940. You can feel the impending hope of an unknown future in his voice.
When the narrator ceases, the audience is drawn back to the present. Jones is sitting on a stool in front of the microphone. He begins to sing about the changes that come with old age.
Jones’ voice is strong but sounds tired, a perfect reflection of the nature of the song. He injects so much emotion into his performance that it is impossible to look away.
You can see in his eyes and hear in his voice the love for his wife as he mentions the memory of her. You won’t realize the spell Jones has cast until he stops singing.
Tom Jones has always had the power to captivate his audience. That power has not waned with age. Jones’ incredible ability to fill his performance with emotion will leave you in awe.
