Rocktopia: Tommy James and The Shondells - 'Live And On Fire' - CD Review
A Rocktopia / Fireworks Magazine album review by Steven Reid: There are not many artists who can claim to have had over 100 million sales across their career, however there isn't all that many that can claim to be active writing music for both Broadway and motion pictures 44 years after their first number one hit single. Tommy James can rightly lay claim to both. If you don't recognise his name, you will definitely have heard his music, whether that be through his US number hits 'Hanky Panky' (1966) and 'Crimson And Clover' (1969), or his 1968 UK No.1 'Mony Mony', which was also taken to the top spot by Billy Idol twenty one years later. http://ping.fm/dYl7h
