Despite his slightly cheesey reputation in some quarters, no doubt thanks to some bad choices of material (looking at you, "What's New Pussycat"), Tom Jones is a serious and excellent musician. His television show, "This Is Tom Jones," which ran for 65 episodes in the US and UK in 1969-70, featured him performing with many of the top artists of the time. Jones was knighted in 2006 for "service to music." In 2010 he released "Praise and Blame," a well-received album of American blues, gospel, and country songs.
Here are some of his memorable duets (plus a trio, a quartet, and a quintet).
