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

Olly Murs asked Sir Tom Jones about his debut single “It’s Not Unusual” during a memorable episode of The Voice UK, and Jones playfully interrupted by remarking, “I haven’t heard it in such a long time, that song.” Sir Tom, ever the gentleman, catered to the crowd’s wishes and flawlessly sang his legendary hit. Even though he was 79 years old when he performed, his voice betrayed his age.

Sir Tom’s ability to deliver the goods remains strikingly unchanged when listening to the 1964 studio version of “It’s Not Unusual” in comparison to his performance on The Voice. The crowd went absolutely wild when the famed Welsh baritone performed his signature song in his beloved honeyed voice. But Tiger isn’t only recognized for his singing; he has a long history of being a top-notch performer, and when he gets his act together, he really turns up the charisma for an unforgettable show.

Entertainers seem to be a natural talent for some people. Sir Tom is undeniably one of them; his performances are sure to put a grin on your face since his genuine enthusiasm for sharing music with an audience radiates from him. The audience was going wild, but judge Meghan Trainor was giddy with delight as she gazed up at Sir Tom like a giddy schoolgirl.

Olly Murs’s interview with Sir Tom, which offered some intriguing facts about the success of “It’s Not Unusual,” was another noteworthy aspect of the episode. “I recorded ‘It’s Not Unusual’ when I was 24, and it went to number one,” the Welsh icon informed his fellow judge. It wasn’t terrible for the debut single of the unknown singer. The 1968 live performance of “Delilah” by young Sir Tom on The Ed Sullivan Show proved that he had a formidable presence.


Sir Tom elaborated to Murs that he recorded “It’s Not Unusual” around the end of 1964 and it was released in early 1965 in response to his further questions. While he did record a demo for Sandie Shaw, he later admitted that she was the intended recipient of the song. God bless Sandie Shaw, since she proclaimed, “Whoever’s singing this, that’s his song” after hearing it played. According to Sir Tom, he re-recorded the song before releasing it, but he was already confident in its success when he did the demo.
