un autre incontournable de mon adolescence nord-ontarien ...que de souvenirs y sont rattachés : Tommy James and the Shondells était un groupe de rock américain populaire pendant les années 1960. Ils ont eu deux 45 tours classés en tête des charts aux États-Unis (Hanky Panky en 1966 et Crimson and Clover en 1968) et cinq autres dans le Top 10 dont I Think Were Alone Now, Mony Mony et Crystal Blue Persuasion. Genre : Rock américain Chanson présentée : TOMMY JAMES & THE SHONDELLS - LONG VERSION - CRIMSON & CLOVER - POSTED FROM VINYL ALBUM! Posted from a vinyl LP. This is the album version that was released in 1969 on the album Crimson & Clover. CRIMSON & CLOVER must be considered quintessential Tommy James and the Shondells and was certainly the most important LP of their career. For so many reasons, it was their pivotal creative moment. Written, produced and performed solely by Tommy and the group, it allowed the band to expand their audience from AM Top-40 Pop to the newly emerging FM Album Oriented Rock...one of the very few sixties acts to make that transition. The title track Crimson & Clover, sold over 5 1/2 million copies in just eight weeks and was their biggest selling single. The album also contained three other million selling hits, Do Somethin To Me, the ethereal Crystal Blue Persuasion and Sugar On Sunday recorded by the group The Clique, the first of many artists, over the years, who would score hits with covers of Tommys songs. Interestingly, during the presidential campaign of 1968, Tommy and the band toured the country with Vice-President Hubert H. Humphery, who graciously expressed his appreciation by writing the liner notes for the CRIMSON & CLOVER album. (Tommyjames) LYRICS: LYRICS: Tommy James and Peter Lucia youtu.be/p2FAJhkd4Bs
