About Harvey's guest:

Today’s special guest, Tommy James, a legendary musician, singer-songwriter and producer who’s brought us one of the longest string of non-stop hits in the history of pop and rock music, first as the lead singer and guitarist in the superstar group, Tommy James and the Shondells – and then, as a highly successful solo artist.

He’s had 9 platinum albums, 32 Billboard Hot 100 Hits and 23 gold singles, including “Crystal Blue Persuasion”, “Crimson & Clover”, “Mony Mony”, “I Think We’re Alone Now”, “Sweet Cherry Wine”, “Hanky Panky”, “Mirage”, “Three Times in Love” and “Draggin’ the Line”. His songs have been covered by everyone from Billy Idol, Tom Jones, Prince, and Bruce Springsteen to Dolly Parton, Kelly Clarkson and Cher.

His music has been featured in 65 feature films including “Moneyball”, “Austin Powers” and “Forest Gump”, as well as 53 television shows including “Boston Legal”, “Criminal Minds” – and who can ever forget the haunting sound of “Crystal Blue Persuasion” in the season 5 finale of “Breaking Bad”.

In 2010 he published his turbulent and eye-opening memoir entitled, “Me, The Mob and the Music: One Hell of a Ride with Tommy James and the Shondells”, which is listed as #12 in Rolling Stone Magazine’s 25 greatest rock ‘n’ roll memoirs of all time.

In 2019, he celebrated his 50th year in the music business by releasing his highly anticipated album entitled, “Alive”, with 2 tracks hitting the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. And last year, he released a new compilation album entitled, “Rock Party”. He’s sold well over 100 million records worldwide, and he’s received 5 BMI “Million-Air” awards, in recognition of his songs being played more than 22 million times on the air. He’s received the Pittsburgh Legend Award and The Jukebox Artist of the Year Award, and he’s been inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame AND the Las Vegas Entertainers Hall of Fame.

And he’s attracted a whole new generation of music lovers with his own show every Sunday night on the Sirius XM Radio 60s Gold channel.
