I'm a black guy, and in 1969 I was 17yrs and loved all cultural's of music, well most any way, the Dave Clark Five, Four Seasons and many more, but I must say that Tommy James and The Shondells was one of my favorite groups.

I'm a white guy and in '69 I turned 21 and loved Motown, most of it anyway -- The Temptations, Four Tops, Smokey, and many more -- and I STILL do -- but for Rock & Roll Tommy James was waaaay up there especially with this Hit of his. Oh, I forgot to mention I love the Blues; From BB King, to Albert and Feddie King, and of course Chicago Blues like Buddy Guy. So as someone posted to you already, Music Has No Color.

STILL the best song writing and delivery. Tight band, great voice. Still in the zone, no matter how many times he performs his songs. Remarkable. Hall of Fame, come on!

Saw him tonight. Shook hands ... he’s a big, strong guy. Still does a heck of a show.

Crimson and Clover grove us over and over..🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

On the day I had delivered my 29 years young wife (she passed away four months later) to the hospital I heard a neighbour playing this record over and over again. Every time I hear it I feel to lonely and helpless again.

OMG soon after I came home from Nam in '73 and started working in the oil field of South Texas, I began going to dances at ol dance halls and listen to local bands which were great. After a few months I began to step in for the bass player and sometime the lead guitar play whenever I could. then one night I got my own 45 minute set to sing what I wanted to sing. People let me tell you all I sang was Tommy James music. After that Saturday night the kids (from 16 up to 19) that's all they wanted to hear. THIS MAN NEEDS TO BE IN THE RnR HALL of FAME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My wife and I went to his concert in Tulsa a few years back and this song brought the house down.

Doesn't get any better than this. I am 22 and feel bad that all the people my age have listened to the top 40 for their whole life and missed out on music like this. One of the best songs ever, and this version is the best for sure.

Oh my god.....mom, apple pie, chevrolet, and Tommy James. I wore the 8 track out parking on a Saturday night with my girl Janelle. She is gone, but Tommy remains. Awesome

should have been in hall of fame a long time ago.love his music

Had a first "real kiss" to this song on Halloween in 1968 in a dimly lit basement..it was beautiful..I'll never forget it..

my dad sure put me on to beautiful music.. he took his own life this year. he will definitly live through me with music. i miss you, Dad

Tommy wrote this song. His favorite color and his favorite flower. He still sounds fantastic, just like back in the day.

I sure enjoyed his music growing up in the 70’s and 80’s.

They were the greatest, I grew up listening to this. I LOVE IT.

I was just a runny-nosed kid when I first heard Hanky Panky in 1965 and then heard every one of his hits throughout the 60s and early 70s; a great talent.

I love this guy's voice & the band. It's 2024 & I'm still listening from when I was mid teen. My big brother ( 15) introduced them to me. He passed away soon after.

They were one of the most underrated bands. Love this song.

I was an teenager . I love this song. Today I’m 69 years old

Fuck yeah 👍🏽 haven’t heard this song in decades! What a great song. Absolutely superb!!

Simply one of my favourite songs of all time.

Love Listening To Tommy In The 60 And Still Listening In 2023 KENTUCKY

The amazing thing to me is that he really still plays this song with authority. A real rarity.

I first heard this song when my older sister bought the album in 1969 and I was 9 year old. The song still sounds great all these years later.

I remember cruising to the beach, with a car load of teenagers.That song playing on the 8 track everyone singing along, that's memories.

Tommy James I am 38 years old and I'm going to save every penny I have and come see you perform live! Fuck it! I can't miss you, a living fucking legend, playing live! Rock on brother, rock on!

I could listen to this song over and over and over and over!

When these songs came out I was in high school the best times of my life!

This song has always brought back the memories of those beautiful years. 🎶

He made some great music! ❤️

Had original album with Crimson and Clover on it that I played until I wore it out. Remember turning up the stereo and singing along, much to my parents dismay. It was tough trying to explain why Rock n' Roll needed to be played loud and enjoyed fully. My mom and dad are gone now, but it brings a smile to my face when I think about life and Rock n' Roll back when. Tommy James you rock!!!

Listening to the old songs is like having a window that lets you look into your own soul. My mind goes bsck to the time snd the feeiling of those times. How it made us feel then and how much exactly the same it feels now. It has its own taste.

Tommy James was a chart topper back in the day.

That was fantastic to watch! Great audio too! Crimson and Clover is a masterpiece of musical heritage. Exceptional guitar riffs, finely and perfectly orchestrated vocals. First time seeing a video of it by the band. Thank you. My first slow dance as a young lad.

This was when MUSIC was MUSIC. LESS IS MORE. Their Music is TIMELESS. Hell ALL the Music from this ERA IS GREAT...

One of the top 10 greatest songs ever written in my humble opinion, and this is an incredible performance.

This was our wedding song played by a live band back in 1977 love it..."wow my daughters said "

I saw Tommy at ND in concert in 68 , he was great

Never heard this version before and it is incredible.

Absolutely CULT !!! Why do we not have such music today ....... ?????????????????

Tommy James definately one of the top singer songwriters and performers ever. Born may 1949 makes me 20 then. Life was good and music was just starting to pick up momentum. One of my favorite songs of all time.

My dream concert for sure, he never comes close enough to me.

I Love this song soo much, totally awesome!!! In the mood for this song, me and my kittens.....

I hope that she remembers those days. I will never forget you Chris.🌷

Tommy James sings like a bird… very underrated artist.

I'm reading Tommy's book, & although I've enjoyed his material since the 60's & still love his songs, watching him perform does take on a whole different perspective. Glad he's out there doing his thing. Long live Tommy Jackson.

Psychedelic rock has a pleading tone to it. It's as attractive as the sirens singing on the rocks. It's a sweet enticement, like a pie curing on a windowsill. Psych rock is a love song to the frontal lobe.
