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.
With the help of Lowery, they quickly snagged the group a singles deal with Capitol. The Classics' debut single was Pollyanna, a song written by Lowery client Joe South. Its style was starkly similar to that of the Four Seasons.
