Tom Jones and Sly Stone - ‘Everyday People’

October 10th, 2006

Its ‘Tom Jones Tuesday’ here in Aged Audio land.

Something I realize about Tom Jones is while people pigeonhole him as a lounge singer, throughout his career he really wanted to get his rock out, and this performance from 1976 on The Midnight Special shows another aspect of this ambition.

I love how Sly Stone starts impersonating Tom’s accent while TJ introduces him and we even get an exclamation of ‘nigga please’ before Chris Rock made it famous.

Dig Sly and Tom in a match made in heaven - at Midnight.
