Tommy James

Let me...

I just saw one that said Tommy James and the somebody.

I can't remember.

Yeah, there

go.

James is here.

Tommy James.

James nailed it.

His first Christmas album, The Christmas Heart, came out the first year he joined us back in 2022.

Classic rock legend Tommy James is back for his second time.

Tommy originally sponsored us when his album I Love Christmas first came out during our second season in 2008.

This year, he returns to help us celebrate our 20th.

This was written by Richie Cordell, and this version was produced by Brian Higgins and Xenomania.

And of course, this is a cover of I Think We're Alone Now by Tommy James and the Shondells, which was done in 1967.

I think we're alone.

And of course, made even more famous by Tiffany in 1987.

And you also,

besides working with the great Dion, you've been working with the great Tommy James for a long time as well.

That's also true.

Another one of those

It's a classic.

The train wreck.

It starts with Tommy James asking me the question.

Love you guys.

And, and I remember just getting, they, they would give me all these singles from them.

So I got tons of monkeys, monkeys, the turtles, Tommy James, um, and you know, plenty and plenty of Beatles.

I, I was a huge Beatles fan cause even as a little kid, um, I never found a song I didn't like.

That's why I

One more block to go.

We're going to be listening to Procol Harum, Lloyd Price, Tommy James.

Mama, we are loaded.

You are listening to NH Unscripted as we are coming to you from the Taj Mahal Light Digs, the WKXL studios here in Concord.

Come on, I have no idea what a money is, but every time it comes on, I'm into that singing.

Money, money.

Tommy James and the Shondells.

Number three, baby, in 1968.

This isn't, gee, I really enjoy your furniture.

Hoffs later admitted it was basically a lust song, a sexy, sassy love song inspired by the beat of Tommy James' Monty Monty.

So while MTV was giving us big hair, shoulder pads, and dramatic fog machines, the Bangles were quietly turning somebody's bedroom into Studio 54.

And somehow, mom still let us buy the album.

But right now, we're going to keep things cranked up with something brand new.

If you had told me back around 1987 that Tiffany, who at that time had a big hit with a remake of a Tommy James song, Tiffany, Chris Holmes from Wasp, and Vinnie Appesee from, of course, Black Sabbath.

If you had told me that those folks together would record a song, I would have thought you're crazy.

And then on top of it, a song that was originally done by Stevie Nicks.

And then, let's see, we have a couple of concerts tomorrow night, again at Gatton Park.

Tommy James and the Shondells with Herman's Hermits starring Peter Noon.

This was supposed to be part of the summer concert series, but the show got postponed.

That'd be a pretty cool show to go see.

Tommy James and the Shondells and Peter Noon with Herman's Hermits.

And then the Jonas Brothers at Rupp Arena.

The burning up tour all over again.
