    BEST BIRTHDAY GIFT EVER! Thank you so much, Sarah! I truly appreciate your indulgence and I'm so glad you liked the song I requested. Tommy James said he came up with the song after reading some passages in the bible that really moved him. He wanted it to be a song about peace and spirituality and I think he succeeded. It always bring me such harmony of heart of soul. Thanks again and Happy Birthday to you tomorrow! I'm kissing the sky as Jimi used to sing! 🎈

    Sweet cherry wine was there anti-war song. My fav by them.There song Mony Mony was covered, as was crimson and clover, by other artist, and they covered songs as well. Funny story, their Manager told them"we got an offer to play in some guys back yard", they laughed and declined. That why they missed the original WOODSTOCK CONCERT.

    Tommy James & The Shondells are a great American pop rock/psychedelic rock band from the 60's. They had a lot of great hits such as "Crimson & Clover", "I Think We're Alone Now", "Hanky Panky", "Mirage", "Mony Mony", "Sweet Cherry Wine", "Ball Of Fire", "Do Something To Me" etc. When Tommy went solo in the 70's "Draggin' The Line" & "Three Times In Love" were hits for him.

    According to James's manager, James was actually inspired by his readings of the Book of Ezekiel, which (he remembered as) speaking of a blue Shekhinah light that represented the presence of the Almighty God, and of the Book of Isaiah and Book of Revelation, which tell of a future age of brotherhood of mankind, living in peace and harmony.

    A lot of people do not know that Tommy James spent most of his career with a gun held to his head by the mob run Roulette records.He did not get hardly any royalties from the songs he wrote.It’s quite sad. But a great song,and great reaction as always.

    Tommy James said the song was never meant to be about drugs. James discussed the origin of “Crystal Blue Persuasion.” “Well, the imagery was right out of Chapter 19 of the Book of Revelation, about the Lake of Crystal, and what John sees. James said the song is based on the passages at the end of the book of Revelation about the coming of the New Jerusalem. He says he read the passage and saw the words in different parts of the passage and they all came together in his mind as "Crystal Blue Persuasion".
