A band who smoothly transitioned from making dance-craze anthems to crafting psychedelic trips, Tommy James & The Shondells are responsible for some of the ’60s-rock era’s most lasting standards. The band formed in 1959 in Niles, MI, as Tom and the Tornadoes, with a preteen Tommy James (then using the last name Jackson) on vocals, debuting with the 1962 single “Long Pony Tail.” Two years later, James renamed his band The Shondells, and they covered the punchy dance tune “Hanky Panky.” Thanks to the efforts of a Pittsburgh DJ, “Hanky Panky” became a hit in 1966, and the band, with James now top billed, signed a record deal. Tommy James & The Shondells’ 1967 gem “I Think We’re Alone Now” straddled the line between rock rave-up and bubblegum, while 1968’s feisty “Mony Mony” furthered the group’s reputation as a frothy pop act. James, frustrated by that pigeonholing, veered into acid rock with Crimson & Clover, whose title track became one of the late ’60s’ defining psych-pop tracks. James left the band in 1970 after an onstage collapse; his bandmates rechristened themselves Hog Heaven but disbanded shortly after. Their legacy has since been kept alive via hit covers by the likes of Joan Jett, Billy Idol, and Tiffany.
