Six decades of a trailblazing career, a voice like no other, and a stage presence that still sets fires alight.
Sir Tom Jones, just before stepping onto the iconic Lycabettus Theatre stage in Athens for the first time on June 21, gives us the perfect excuse to revisit some of his most legendary collaborations. From soul to pop, from rock to jazz, Jones has sung next to the greatest of the great – and did so with the passion of a teenager.
Whether through his long-running TV show or iconic stage appearances, the Welsh crooner shared the mic with artists who defined entire eras.
Tom Jones & Janis Joplin
If the word “explosive” were a video, this would be it. Janis and Tom, back in 1969, burning the screen with a duet full of fire and energy.
Tom Jones & Cher
Two larger-than-life icons, with glam flair and powerhouse vocals. When Jones and Cher joined forces on stage, it was nothing short of magical.
Tom Jones & Tina Turner
When two stage beasts collide, the result is electric. Jones and Turner, in a fiery, passionate performance from 1978, delivered vocal dynamite.
Tom Jones & Ed Sheeran
Sheeran brought a fresh twist to Prince’s “Kiss,” and Jones proved he could still sound current in his 70s. Old school met new wave – timeless harmony.
Tom Jones & Joe Cocker
Jones’ deep voice and Cocker’s raspy tone created a unique sonic blend. Their 1970 duet? Pure, unrepeatable gold.
Tom Jones & The Cardigans
This Talking Heads cover with The Cardigans reintroduced Jones to a whole new generation in the ’90s. And yes, it worked brilliantly.
Tom Jones & Robbie Williams
At the 1998 Brit Awards, Robbie joined his hero on stage. Two generations united through music and rhythm. The energy was unstoppable.
Tom Jones & Aretha Franklin
Tom and the Queen of Soul. Soul and sensuality. Their meeting? Music bowed down. Goosebumps guaranteed.
Tom Jones & Ella Fitzgerald
The jazz queen and Tom, in one of the coolest TV duets of the ’70s. Their version of “Sunny” is pure art.
Tom Jones & Mousse T
“Sex Bomb” was the hit that put Jones back on the dancefloor map. With German producer Mousse T, he created a club classic that still brings the heat.
Tom Jones is not just a singer. He is a voice that bridges generations, a stage force that breaks molds, and a living chapter of global music history. And this June, Athens will witness him live. Loud and legendary.
