Janis Joplin And Tom Jones Astonish Viewers With Fiery Rock Duet

After Tom Jones’ rise to fame in the 1960s, he received his own variety show, named This Is Tom Jones. Over its three-year run from 1969 to 1971, the show featured performances from Tom himself, alongside appearances from some of the biggest artists of the time, including the likes of Nancy Sinatra, Cher, and The Who. One appearance that we know our Music Man readers will not want to miss is when Janis Joplin and Tom Jones joined forces to perform together on the show.

While Tom Jones has never been considered one of the rock crowd, he kept up with Janis Joplin’s electric blues-rock vocals impressively. However, like many who saw her perform, most viewers were simply stunned by Janis’ raw voice and her energetic stage presence. On the online video of the pair performing ‘Raise Your Hand,’ which now has over 14M views, the comments are filled with remarks like “Tom is a powerhouse, but I think even he was blown away by Janis’ raw energy and talent!”

The performance was a perfect example of the powerful rock vocals that Janis is most remembered for and that Music Man fans will likely associate with her legacy. However, Janis’ love for music started with the blues, and blues singers such as Bessie Smith and Ma Rainey had an enormous influence on her sound. During her appearance on This Is Tom Jones, Janis took a departure from her usual energetic live performance style to showcase her bluesy vocals with a performance of ‘Little Girl Blue.’
