Tom Jones, known for both his music and his role as a talent show judge, first rose to fame in the 1960s. He even had his own variety show, This Is Tom Jones (1969–1971), featuring top artists like Cher, The Who, and Nancy Sinatra.

One standout episode featured Janis Joplin, where the two delivered an electrifying duet of Raise Your Hand. Their performance, blending Joplin’s raw energy with Jones’s powerful presence, remains iconic. The video has since gained over 14 million views on YouTube.
