Tom Jones & Jessie J - You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'

Jessie J and Tom Jones perform their most beloved song "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" at Staples Center, Los Angeles, CA in 2015. Legendary songwriters Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil earned the 2015 Trustee Award.

The Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry selected "You've Got That Lovin' Feelin'" by The Righteous Brothers as one of 25 of the most musically and historically important sound recordings for special recognition and preservation in the nation’s repository of cultural history. By including the Righteous Brothers’ 1965 hit, the Library of Congress adds yet another distinction to a song that since its initial release has been played more than any other on radio and TV, according to the performance rights organization Broadcast Music Inc. “That record has a life of its own,” Righteous Brothers singer Bill Medley, who famously traded lines with his duo partner, the late Bobby Hatfield, in a song written by Brill Building husband-wife team of Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil.

“I think it was one of the first real dramatic love songs for young kids,” said Medley, 74, who was 24 when the record hit the charts in 1965. “In those days, it was pretty much cute music. ‘Lovin’ Feelin’’ is not a cute record, it’s a pretty powerful record.”

“That song is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the writers are in the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and now it’s going into the Library of Congress. I think it’s a big deal," Medley said. "It just kind of keeps going on and on. It’s just always an honor.”

"You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'", co-written with Phil Spector, was the Righteous Brothers' biggest hit and was the most radio played song of the 20th century, with more than 14 million plays. Hall & Oates also recorded a very successful 1980s version.

People saying that jessie shouldn't sing with him:
They sang together lots of times, they were both coaches on the voice and he already said that she is super talented, so if tom jones, the legend, said that, I don't know why all these people still think they can say she's bad. Go there and do it better, she's one of the few singers today that can sing with him and do it well.
Beautiful performance

Sir Tom the legend, the man with the voice has not lost his power and charisma even in his 75 years old. Soooo amazing.

[Mike]

[yialmighty]

All these haters on here damn, toms the one who wanted to do the fucking song with her so get over it

[Commander_Cat]

Tom Jones voice is so so rich and powerful.

[zephyrsky__]

It's lovely when two singers compliment each other rather than compete

[agentize]

When Sir Tom sang that song, his baritone mixed with so much passion and emotion, drained my soul and shed tears in my eyes. They are both great!

[jamescoffey]

They blend so well... there's a chemistry between these two that showed up on the Voice UK, and seems to continue. Not many singers can keep up with Sir Tom. Jessie surely can.

OMG Tom Jones is just 75 and he looks really fantastic, great voice

[lynne]

Sir Tom, amazing!!! still as good and powerful as ever, this is pure class, sorry but today's singers haven't got a clue, too much warbling and choking the notes, but her head voice wasn't too bad, but she out singTom

[MALTA]

Jessie and Tom sounds fantastic <3.

[Vyselink]

Tom's still got it and Jessie J's great. Awesome duet.

[yufengliu]

God. That first chorus was so well matched.

Neither washed out the other, without trying overhard to complement either. It was just power paired with power. Unf.

The coolest guy I ever met was Tom Jones.
He was in Tacoma playing the Puyallup Fair (late 80's ?)... and I was in the bar at the Sheraton at 1am... and it had just turned my mom's birthday.
He walks in with 2 huge bodyguards. So I call my mom to tell her Tom just walked in... and I said, "Hold on". Being that I had already sampled a few beverages, I boldly walked right up to him and said, "So nice to finally meet you. My mom is on the phone and it's her birthday. Can you say 'Hello' " ?
Holy crap, he actually walked down the hallway to the bank of payphones and talked to her ! Got a quick autograph for her on a drink coaster, and then left him alone.
I've met some "famous" people... but that was the best ever.
