Tom Jones - The 1976 Paris Broadcast

With hard rock turning into heavy metal, and punk rock beginning its ferocious attack on the mainstream, Tom Jones remained in immovable figure in pop culture in the mid-1970s, filling venues with fans eager to hear his voice - The Voice - in its full nature-defying power. Broadcast on French radio, this performance in Paris, recorded in the spring of 1976, reveals just why. 'Help Yourself'; 'Green, Green Grass of Home'; 'Delilah'... Jones' career-making 1960s hits are present and current, along with a sampling of the songs that helped maintain his presence on the charts in the new decade, namely 'I (Who Have Nothing)' and the UK Top 5 hit 'Daughter of Darkness'.

There's nothing gloomy about this concert, though, which captures ones of the finest performers of his generation shining brightly in the City of Light.
