On The Voice, Meghan Trainor is captivated by Sir Tom Jones’s impromptu rendition of “It’s Not Unusual.”

During a memorable episode of The Voice UK, Olly Murs asked Sir Tom Jones about his debut single “It’s Not Unusual.” Jones, with a playful grin, interrupted, saying, “I haven’t heard that song in such a long time.” Ever the gentleman, Sir Tom delighted the audience by flawlessly singing his iconic hit. At 79 years old, his voice remained as powerful as ever, defying his age.

Sir Tom’s vocal prowess remains impressively consistent when comparing the 1964 studio version of “It’s Not Unusual” to his performance on The Voice. The crowd erupted with excitement as the legendary Welsh baritone delivered his signature song with that beloved honeyed voice. But Sir Tom isn’t just celebrated for his singing; he has a long-standing reputation as a top-tier performer. When he takes the stage, he amps up the charisma, delivering an unforgettable show every time.

For some, entertaining comes naturally, and Sir Tom Jones is undeniably one of those people. His performances are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face, as his genuine love for sharing music with an audience shines through. The crowd went wild, and judge Meghan Trainor couldn’t contain her excitement, looking up at Sir Tom with the glee of a schoolgirl.

Another highlight of the episode was Olly Murs’s interview with Sir Tom, revealing fascinating insights about the success of “It’s Not Unusual.” The Welsh icon shared, “I recorded ‘It’s Not Unusual’ when I was 24, and it went to number one.” Not bad for the debut single of a then-unknown singer. Sir Tom’s formidable stage presence was already evident in his 1968 live performance of “Delilah” on The Ed Sullivan Show, proving his star power from the start.

Sir Tom explained to Murs that he recorded “It’s Not Unusual” toward the end of 1964, and it was released in early 1965. Initially, he had recorded a demo for Sandie Shaw, as the song was intended for her. However, after hearing the demo, Shaw declared, “Whoever’s singing this, that’s his song.” Thanks to her generosity, Sir Tom got to keep it. He later re-recorded the track before its release, but even during the demo stage, he was confident it would be a hit.
