TOMMY JAMES & THE SHONDELLS
The Essentials (Greatest Hits)
$11.98 CD
Rhino's essential single-disc collection from pop-rock hit-makers Tommy James & The Shondells opens with their debut Roulette Records single, a definitive version of the Jeff Barry/Ellie Greenwich tune “Hanky Panky” that shot straight to #1. It's one of the fourteen Top 40 Billboard pop singles the group released during their short but extraordinary run - from 1966-1969 - and one of twelve classic tracks on this hit-packed survey. Other highlights include the also chart-topping “Crimson And Clover,” the Top 10 singles “Mony Mony,” “Crystal Blue Persuasion,” “Sweet Cherry Wine” and “Draggin' The Line,” the latter one of Tommy James' '70s-era solo hits.
Selection # 512853
