Ep. 46 - Tommy James (The Shondells)

On this episode of The It's Only Rock And Roll Podcast, we feature 1960's hit-maker TOMMY JAMES, who along with his band The Shondells, released a string of classics including “Crimson and Clover”, “Mony Mony”, “Hanky Panky”, “I Think We're Alone Now”, and others. Tommy discusses how he went from a middle-America upbringing, to working and recording for Roulette Records, which in reality was a front for the Genovese crime family. Topics also include which of his biggest hits initially featured heavy breathing (inevitably deemed too risqué for radio); why one of his most famous singles is actually the rough mix; his worst live on-stage experience; his "introduction" to The Beatles; and many captivating anecdotes from his bestselling autobiography “Me, The Mob, and The Music”. ------------------------------------------------ ֎ To order: “Me, The Mob, and The Music” via Amazon - https://a.co/d/eJd9ez7 ֎ To order: “40 Years: The Complete Singles Collection 1966-2006” via Amazon - https://amzn.to/3Fb0k8X Visit the 'It's Only Rock And Roll PODCAST' online at: ● Homepage – www.ItsOnlyRockAndRollPodcast.com ● Facebook – facebook.com/ItsOnlyRockAndRollPodcast/ ● YouTube - https://youtu.be/imhlAeM3jrY ● Audea.io - https://audea.io/ ● Instagram - @itsonlyrockandrollpodcast Be sure to check out our all-new OFFICIAL IORR PODCAST STORE! https://www.cafepress.com/iorrpodcast © 2022 Howlaround Productions.
