Interview Coming up with Tommy James, 23 gold singles and 9 Platinum albums


 

 (Catch my interview with Tommy later this year) Tommy James with his friend Paul McCartney. Two people who dominated the music scene back in the day. Tommy James and the Shondells had 23 Gold Singles and 9 Platinum Albums. A movie is being made of his life from his best selling book about his life called: "Me The Mob and The Music". You might have seen Tommy recently on the Huckabee show talking about it. Here's a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lJGfgzMC8c also here is a clip of Tommy on the Ed Sullivan show singing one of his hits, "Crimson and Clover". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XS0niyiKlcw Check out some of the pics I have listed below. Tommy James found himself in a scary situation as a kid, all the record labels at the time wanted to sign him, Capitol, RCA, etc. but a Mobster who ran a record label at the time called them all and said, "hands off, diss record contract is mine", the next day the record companies started calling Tommy saying they had to back away Tommy didn't understand what was going on. Tommy was always open to the idea of Jesus, but it wasn't until he found a Bible in a hotel room and took it home and studied it that he "dedicated" his life to Christ. Tommy now has his own label. His is a remarkable story. I was thrilled yesterday to receive his book and several of his CD's in the mail a big thank you so much! When his gigs ease up some this year we will book the interview.
