What happens when three of the top singers come together in one room? You get an unforgettable performance on Tom Jones’ TV show, when the Welsh legend joined forces with Cher and Esther Ofarim! In 1969, Jones invited Cher and Ofarim to his show *This Is Tom Jones*, where they delivered a medley of songs that highlighted their exceptional talents and are sure to bring a smile to your face.
The segment began with Jones and Cher performing a duet of Ofarim’s “Cinderella Rockafella,” showcasing their undeniable chemistry. Ofarim then joined in for a duet with Jones on Cher’s hit “I Got You Babe.” Cher and Ofarim then teamed up to perform Jones’ song “Delilah,” before all three sang a lively version of Cher’s “The Beat Goes On,” each taking the lead on different parts.
The three singers clearly enjoyed their time together, creating a memorable performance that resonated with viewers. The medley on YouTube has garnered 5.2 million views, with fans commenting on the incredible experience: “Three legends of music on one stage. Anyone who saw this live should consider themselves very lucky” and “The harmonies when Cher and Esther sing together are stunning. Mind-blowing!”
Tom Jones hosted *This Is Tom Jones* for three seasons starting in 1969, bringing on numerous A-list guests and showcasing his standing in the music industry. Another popular clip from the show features Jones and Cher performing a duet of “The Beat Goes On.” Cher appeared only once on the show, so despite a costume change, this duet likely comes from the same May 2, 1969 episode that also featured Ofarim.
Jones and Cher clearly developed a great rapport during her appearance on his show. Jones later returned the favor by appearing on *The Sonny & Cher Show* in October 1976, where he and Cher performed a duet of Ashton, Gardner, and Dyke’s “Resurrection Shuffle.” This performance is also available on YouTube.
