Talk:Tommy James

Untitled
Tommy James & The Shondells are still touring.

Keep - No, I feel Tommy James should have his separate page along with the page listing his career with the Shondells. This is not to diminish the contribution of the Shondells; however, Tommy also had a successful solo career with songs like "Draggin the Line" and "Three Times In Love". His song "Love Words" is currently enjoying success on the Adult Contemporary Charts. Joyce 7122 Baltimore, Md. August 2, 2006

Master tape
"selling the original master of "Hanky Panky" to Roulette Records"

This is actually not true, the master tape to Hanky Panky has never been found (google "both sides now stereo chat board" and look), and the "master" that roulette used for the dub was a worn SNAP! original 45. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.184.235.117 (talk) 14:56, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Duplication
This article is almost identical to Tommy James and the Shondells. Seems to me that one or the other article isn't needed; the Shondells don't really exist without Tommy James. --jpgordon&#8711;&#8710;&#8711;&#8710; 16:55, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Christianity
Why was Tommy's conversion to Christianity, which influenced many of his songs, removed from this article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.147.226.190 (talk) 18:42, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

encyclopedic tone....
some of this reads like it was lifted straight from a fan magazine. PurpleChez (talk) 15:09, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

Drugs
The article briefly mentions a near-fatal experience from drugs, but I can't find any source for it. The page cited at the end of the section it's in says nothing about this event. 172.58.169.160 (talk) 01:30, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

Draggin' The Line II
There is apparently a Draggin' The Line II featuring T.O.N.E-Z and Steven Van Zandt, yet it is not mentioned here nor on the article. I heard this song on the SiriusXM station 60's on 6. It was during a program that James himself hosted on March 22nd I believe. I also have a link to the song on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08LwqnR6wik From the looks of things, this is a very recent remix from 2019, so am surprised 60's on 6 was playing it, though it may have been the original but for whatever reason, whoever controls the station info that gets sent, and then displayed on the radio's (The RDS or whatever the thing where the station shows what artist is currently playing on the radio) just added on T.O.N.E-Z and Steven Van Zandt for whatever reason despite neither of them being featured on the 1971 version. Some more info about this would be greatly appreciated before it's added to the respective pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moline1 (talk • contribs) 01:03, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
