Tom Jones Performs Prince’s “Purple Rain” Accompanied by Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour (1992)

Over the many years, Tom Jones has per­shaped with the very best of them. In 1969, we will discover him singing “Lengthy Time Gone” with Cros­by, Stills, Nash & Younger, and tak­ing them delight­ful­ly by sur­prise. The identical goes for his duet with Janis Joplin in that very same yr. Now quick for­ward to the Nineties. On this decade, Jones teamed up with the Swedish rock band The Cardi­gans and per­shaped a rol­lick­ing ver­sion of the Discuss­ing Heads “Burn­ing Down the Home.” And, moderately unex­pect­ed­ly, he would get paired with Pink Floy­d’s David Gilmour and croon Prince’s “Pur­ple Rain.”

The file­ing above comes from Jones’ present The Proper Time, a six-episode tele­vi­sion sequence that aired in 1992. Trac­ing the evo­lu­tion of pop music, the present fea­tured seem­ances by Bob Geld­of, Cyn­di Lau­per, The Chief­tains and Ste­vie Gained­der. Relating to his ver­sion of “Pur­ple Rain,” don’t miss the Gilmour solo mid­means by means of. Get pleasure from!
