Tommy James And The Shondells - Songs. ABOUT. Tommy James and the Shondells had many hits in the late 1960s that included Hanky Panky (1966), Mony Mony (1968), Crimson and Clover (1969), and Crystal Blue Persuasion (1969). Band leader Tommy James went solo in 1971 and the remaining group members went on to record as Hog Heaven.
Very few of these singers were of country origins: Vernon Dalhart, Carson Robison and Bob Miller were New York singers who became famous singing hillbilly songs (and sometimes composing them, as in the case of Robison and Miller).
