    I’m 61, man I miss this music. The lyric’s, grove made all those problems go away. Happy to see my son appreciate this type of talent - we had the best music. Thanks Tommy and all those 60’s gifted musicians

    Being a baby boomer this was one of my favorite songs - Tommy James was so ahead of his time because this song says it all and mirrors what needs to be done during these tumultuous times we are experiencing. This song does raise one's vibrations and should be listened to daily in order to lift our spirits, send love and light to those who need it, and to bring us into a better and more loving world 🗺

    A new day is coming (ooh, ooh)
    People are changing
    Ain't it beautiful? (Ooh, ooh)
    Crystal blue persuasion
    Better get ready to see the light
    Love, love is the answer (ooh, ooh)
    And that's all right
    So don't you give up now (ooh, ooh)
    So easy to find
    Just look to your soul (your soul)
    And open your mind
    Crystal blue persuasion, hmm, hmm
    It's a new vibration
    Crystal blue persuasion
    Crystal
    Blue persuasion
    Maybe tomorrow
    When he looks down
    On every green field (ooh, ooh)
    And every town
    All of his children
    And every nation
    There'll be peace and good brotherhood
    Crystal blue persuasion, yeah
    Crystal blue persuasion, aah-aah
    Crystal blue persuasion, aah-aah
    (Crystal blue persuasion, aah-aah)

      Tommy grew up a Catholic, though not devout. I grew up Lutheran, so I couldn't get him to go to church with me, so I was very glad when he found himself drawn to the Billy Graham crusades on TV and established himself as a serious Christian. He gets up early at home and the first thing he does is read and study his Bible while having his coffee.
