Welsh superstar Tom Jones is well known for his powerful singing voice, but back in the late 1960s and early '70s he also hosted his own weekly variety show. THIS IS TOM JONES includes extensive highlights from the show, and features a mouthwatering array of performers, including Janis Joplin, Joe Cocker, the Who, and Aretha Franklin. Tom Jones - This Is Tom Jones Reviews: 3 stars out of 5 -- "These six shows feature vintage performances from The Who, Moody Blues, Mary Hopkin, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Joe Cocker and Janis Joplin, with Jones joining the latter for some genuine showstoppers."-- Mojo Staff, Mojo Tom Jones - This Is Tom Jones | List Price | $39.95 (You save $12.86) | | Studio | Weasel Disc | | Orig Year | 2007 | | DVD Encoding | Region 1 | | All Time Sales Rank |  10169  | | CD Universe Part number | 7412040 | | Catalog number | 19269 | | Discs | 3 | | Release Date | Jun 26, 2007 | | Rating | Not Rated | | Running Time | 300 Minutes | | Movie Details | Color; 3-Disc Set |
Tom Jones - This Is Tom Jones Movie Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  Tom Jones Rocks
TJ's show was an excellent showcase for the huge rock talent of the day. One of his strengths as an artist was his versatility...you'll see that in his TV shows. He felt comfortable with the likes of Aretha, Janis, The Who, Little Richard, Stevie Wonder...it didn't matter. Of course, it was also a showcase for his own formidable talent. Any star who's endured 40 years in LV has done so for a reason...he's appealed to a wide range of music lovers for a long time. It's too bad his TV show didn't last longer...but, while he did it, it was the best of its genre.

All good things are said to come to an end...I guess that includes great things like the Tom Jones program of 1969 - 1971.
Cases in point are right here on DVD: Little Richard solo and in medley with Tom - voice and piano never better - all business! (Tom should have sung harmony, not in call-and-response mode, though). Aretha Franklin, also at a great point in her career, taking command on the stage in an apparent creative impulsive to leave the keys and rock next to Tom. There's Stevie Wonder - on drums! Wish Rock and Soul drummers would play like that today!
I hope more volumes of rock and soul stars follow, because the memories start flooding in of episodes with stars such as Jerry Lee Lewis.
(Though I'd be happy to have the Joey Heatherton and Judy Carne guest shots, too).
Note: Not all shows are complete - but baby, that is rock and roll. Enjoy!!!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of 1 found this helpful. GREATEST POP SINGER EVER
Anyone who disputes the fact that this man has no equal in the history of pop music, simply hasn't listened to Tom Jones. And oh what they have missed out on. When you truly have listened to Tom, you could only come away with the knowledge that you've heard a singer with the greatest range, power, soul, ear, rhythum, versatility and intonation that the world has ever heard. If it's not your opinion, then either your ear or you're common sense is suspect.

The Beatles followed up their debut film, A HARD DAY'S NIGHT, with this fanciful spy spoof. When Ringo adds a new ring to his collection, he's unaware of how important and dangerous this piece of jewelry is. On one hand, a religious cult considers it a sacred object and the wearer must become a sacrifice to their gods. On the other hand, the ring has magical abilities that hold the key to supreme power. Soon the boys from Liverpool are engaged in a slapstick and madcap chase round the world, as a ...

Harold Lloyd was an early comedic actor loved by audiences and highly respected within the moviemaking industry. Not a natural comic, but a great actor playing comedic parts, Lloyd developed a highly physical style, incorporating the element of fear into many of his scenes to heighten their impact. Before the days of special effects, he made use of perspective and camera tricks in highly innovative ways in order to create the illusion of danger. Many times more prolific than Buster Keaton or Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd ...
