.

From Dolly Parton to Snoop Dogg, Johnny Cash to the Jonas Brothers, history is littered with musicians who've been given their own TV shows. Some were good. Some were awful. But only one starred barrel-voiced Welsh lothario Tom Jones fronting Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. 

This Is Tom Jones was a success, running for three seasons between 1969 and 1971 and attracting a variety of stellar names including Janis Joplin, The Moody Blues, The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown, The Who, Joe Cocker and Donovan to the BBC studios in Elstree, England, before production shifted to Los Angeles. Jones was a natural in front of the camera, and received a Golden Globe nomination in 1970 for Best TV Musical/Comedy Actor.
