Tom Jones, a 28-year old Welsh dynamo whose incredible vocals, sex appeal and youthful vitality excited audiences at his concerts, brought the same energy to his variety show on ABC from 1969 to 1971. The program gave the biggest stars plenty of room to dazzle and to pair their talents with Jones.
This 3-DVD set spotlights such triple-threat (singer- dancer-actor) entertainers as Sammy Davis Jr. and Liza Minnelli, along with Jerry Lee Lewis, one of the greatest movers and shakers in all popular music. Jones shows his taste and versatility, whether going down home with Johnny Cash or uptown with Tony Bennett. And when Jones grabs the mic for the show-closing "concert," fans will need a handker- chief to mop their brows. With the big band cookin' and the main man shakin', This Is Tom Jones: Legendary Performers is smokin'!
