Keep Your Playlist on Your Heart: Coffeetime Homebrew ep 163

Screenshot from TV Show This Is Tom Jones from 1970 showing Dusty Springfield (in a multi-colored dress and her hair up in a large, curly bouffant hairdo) facing and singing with Tom Jones (who is wearing a tuxedo and bow tie). They are both smiling and holding small cylindrical microphones.
We feel your Tom-joy, Dusty!
