Thanks for this. Knew all the songs, but didn't know it was Tommy James who did them, which feels kind of weird. Always thought of him sort of just above bubble gum and below alternative, but now I see that his songs covered a much wider spectrum than I had realized. Great interview. Great story teller. Thanks again and good health and continued success Tommy James.
to think of all the success this guy has had,,he,s so down to earth ,,,and you could say hes been very close to the heavier side of life and come through,,what a nice guy,,hes a good speaker as well as a bloody good singer,,good health to you tommy,and long may you continue,,,
Tommy is a Legend and The RASCALS also .They're, Music was so Important during that Time ,and To achieve what they Did a Total One off . The originals...
Tommy James is a real gentleman, so genuine and sincere and polite! It is a honest shame and insult that this man is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
I don't know his story, other than the songs and this interview. What a story - I will buy his book. Wish he was going to be in Northern California again soon. God bless you, TJ.
This is an awesome book. I found it very difficult to put down. Does anyone know when the movie is coming out? About Broadway....when is the show going on the road?
Going through my 45 collection, I found that Buddy Knox, Jimmy Bowen,the essax,rock-a-teens, were on roulette.the Jimmie Rogers story needs to be filmed. Levy must have screwed a lot of singers out of millions.Could make a dozen films out of the roulette story.Will never look at any roulette 45 the same again.
definitely going to buy the book......

Now, I know why I've always liked his music. it's simply because he's a very genuine person.
