Eldergays: Tell Us about Tom Jones

Tom Jones is a born showman, and his concerts are famous for both his powerful performance and the ribald reactions of his generations of fans. He's had both hits and misses, but in your common estimation, what's your favorite of his?

Also, what's the deal with his appeal to women? They've been throwing their panties at him for sixty years! Cassandra Peterson ("Elvira") claims he took her virginity, and his impressive endowment injured her. And even when he sings a creepy song like "Delilah," people can't help but sing along.

My generation knows him as the chivalrous and cool hero of Mars Attacks!, but elders should share their memories of this vintage stud!

His Art of Noise cover of Kiss was both great performing and knowing self parody.

Elvis got their panties wet,

the Beatles offered an excuse to break from the church and tradition,

Tom Jones was personal sexual liberation.

My mother thought he was the most vulgar thing she had ever seen. She loved Engelbert Humperdinck and Sacha Distel.

This is why women threw their panties at him.

r11 he used to be introduced as Tom and his Jones...

like every Tom, Dick and Harry.

But wait for the fraus to pop up and say penis size doesn't matter as they give side eye to their partners and gaze upon his size meat. . . the bob Ross hair and shag carpeting from his chest to the furry mound below. With Tom, every woman would become a rugmuncher.

1. Good-looking man

2. Good-looking man who can sing with a deep baritone

3. Good-looking man who can sing with a deep baritone and who had great stage presence

4. Good-looking man who can sing with a deep baritone and who had great stage presence and who wore tight trousers

5. Good-looking man who can sing with a deep baritone and who had great stage presence and who wore tight trousers showing off a large basket and muscular hindquarters.

That answer your question, OP?

Massive Welsh penis! I lived there for a short time and 99% of the men were horse hung! I was a total whore back then! Good times in Wales!

The cheesiness of his image (the tight pants, the gold chains, the "Vegas-ness" of it all) obscure the fact that he's a singularly talent: a distinctive, masculine presence and a great example of "Northern soul" (or "blue-eyed soul" as some call it). He turned complete dreck into entertaining pop (egm g, "Pussycat") and a handful of other songs into classics.

In other words, really underrated as a singer. I love Tom the way I love Shirley Bassey.

I remember his TV show from 1969. Being all of ten years old, I always wondered why his wife seemed to change each week at the end big where he got out and did his sexy singing.

TJ was sex on a stick that made the likes of Frank Sinatra and Elvis look tame. Not that they were less talented (nobody comes near to Frankie Boy), but he was just so sexy. And that Welsh accent. Girls!

Plus, Janis Joplin guested on his show during her Spring 1969 tour.

Tom was much hipper than his "TV swinger" image suggests. He was good friends with Dusty Springfield, who shared an enthusiasm for American soul and R&B music. Dusty was instrumental in introducing a lot of those songs and the original singers to mainstream (ie, white) audiences in the 60s.

This is Ton at his most ridiculous but also at his sexiest.

If after seeing this you cannot understand why every straight woman and gay man at the time wanted him to fuck them, I absolutely cannot help you.

I have to say it was shocking to me as young guy to see my sedate, proper aunt & her church ladies talk openly about his cock. I couldn't even imagine the knew the word, much less cock watched as I was already doing. One time one waxed euphoric about seeing it grow during a concert. she was a bluehaired, eyeglassed granny & admitted she too had brought panties to throw. It kinda made me love them even more. Their love of some hot cock, made it easier for me to be me. Sounds crazy I know. On some level I thought, see the power of cock is real, good & OK, even these church ladies are dickmatized, why not me?.

One of the first 45s I ever bought was his 1969 bombastic ballad hit "I'll Never Fall In Love Again". Around this time his TV show was a craze for about a year and a half, with women waiting for him to let loose on hits like "Love Me Tonight" and "Delilah". He faded away, but had a huge short-lived comeback with "She's A Lady".

It's funny how his career mirrored Engelbert Humperdinck, whose fans were just as devoted, but much more laid back.

I remember my mother (who is really a proper lady type) told me the first time she saw him in concert, she got so excited her period started.

This is my favorite Tom Jones clip. Years ago, a friend of mine worked backstage at an entertainment venue. He said the "large cock" talk diluted the size of his cock. It was enormous. He also had the biggest, thickest, darkest bush my friend had ever seen. You manscaping fans would probably be hugely disappointed. Judging from the screaming women on his TV show, I'm sure many of them wouldn't be bothered at all.

He's had one of the longest recording careers of them all. The later releases are terrific. Put him on Mount Fucking Rushmore.
