Tommy James & The Shondells

The music of Tommy James is played continuously, everyday, in every country in the world, and has been for over a generation. His songs have become so ingrained in modern culture, it's difficult to go for more than a couple of days without hearing one of them on the radio, TV, in films, or one of the 300 plus cover versions of his songs by other artists. He has sold, to date, over 100 million records and has been awarded 23 gold singles and 9 gold and platinum albums.   In 1964 a DJ asked Tommy and his group to sign with his new label. One of the 4 sides they recorded was an obscure song called "Hanky Panky". The group changed their name to "The Shondells" and released it as a single. It was an instant local hit but didn't break nationally.  Two years later, in May of '66, amazingly the record exploded out of Pittsburgh and "Hanky Panky" was a smash!  Two weeks later the new group signed a record deal with Roulette Records in New York and "Hanky Panky" became the biggest hit of the summer of '66.  Thus began one of the longest strings of non-stop hits in the record business.  "Hanky Panky" was quickly followed up by two more million selling singles: "Say I Am" and "It's Only Love" with the "HANKY PANKY" album going gold a mere 4 weeks after its release in July of '66.  Tommy then produced 7 more back-to-back gold singles over the next two years,  including: "I Think We're Alone Now", "Mirage", "I Like The Way", "Gettin' Together", "Out Of The Blue", "Get Out Now", and the party rock icon... "Mony Mony"

His recently published autobiography – Me, The Mob and The Music – is a best-seller for Simon & Schuster, and has garnered rave reviews.  This thrilling tale of Tommy’s career and his tumultuous relationship with the “Godfather” of the music industry, Morris Levy, will be brought to life on screen and the Broadway stage by Triangle Entertainment, Nederlander Worldwide Entertainment , and Lighthouse Entertainment Media Group.

Tommy James has left an indelible mark on his industry and his generation with credits and longevity as an artist, songwriter, and performer that few have equaled. With the ever increasing popularity of his music, there seems to be no end in sight.
