This song, Raise Your Hand was part of Janis Joplin‘s repertoire and she performed it at Woodstock this same year. Tom Jones had his own TV show and this performance must have really blown everyone’s mind back in ’69. As you can see, Tom can hold his own with one of the greatest performers of all time. (And check out those groovy back-up dancers!) Watch.
