Tom Jones + CSNY = Wow.

There is much to love about this rendition of "Long Time Gone," starting with the smile on David Crosby's face as Tom Jones sings his soul out on the late 60s classic (a standard slow dance song at my high school dances). It makes me indescribably happy. Just watch....

I know, right?! It's like he upped CSNY's game a notch.

Anon, I was so right there with you. When I was in love with CSNY, I would make fun of Tom Jones. "What's new, Pussycat?"..."It's Not Unusual"...puleeze!! It was much, much later when I developed a taste for him. (Like scotch.) I posted a video of TJ with Janis Joplin years ago which was equally incredible.
