    One of my absolute favorite songs of all time. Gorgeous.

  • @bostonvair
    @bostonvair Před 2 lety +3

    This was the shorter, single version of this song. Do yourselves a favor and listen to the full-length, album version (somewhere over 6 minutes, if memory serves) to get the full psychedelic effect of this song. This was one of my first favorite songs as a kid (and my first rock album). Other great songs from TJ and the Shondells include:
    Crystal Blue Persuasion
    Sweet Cherry Wine
    I Think We're Alone Now
    Mirage
    A couple of early bubble gum dance rock hits that predated their psychedelic era: Mony Mony and Hanky Panky
    And Tommy James' biggest hit post-Shondells: "Draggin' the Line."

  • @brentfreeland5834
    @brentfreeland5834 Před 2 lety +6

    The song was released in 1968 when I was 8 years old. I couldn't get enough of this song especially the last vocal part with the tremolo. Still love the song till this day.
    What you heard here was the radio edit. There was a midsection that was removed to make this song AM radio friendly.

  • @joelliebler5690
    @joelliebler5690 Před 2 lety +23

    Tommy James was always an innovator that put him ahead of the curve when it came to musical exploration!

  • @bryanCJC2105
    @bryanCJC2105 Před 2 lety +6

    If you want a "feel good" song, listen to the 5th Dimension's "Aquarius/ Let the Sun Shine In" Live version. That song is epic!!

  • @janetwebb2701

    Watching your reactions make my day. Knowing a new generation can fall in love with the music I grew up with gives me hope!!!

  • @seiraeiramasil2302
    @seiraeiramasil2302 Před 2 lety +36

    This is the song that is most popular by Tommy James And The Shondells but they have other hits like "Crystal Blue Persuasion", also, I noticed you picked the shorter version of "Crimson and Clover", the longer version adds an even more psychedelic vibe to it. Tommy James Had a couple of song that were covered by other artist such as, "I Think We're Alone Now" and "Mony Mony", but trust me, they didn't really make the songs better, (IMO) they were classic gold hits before they put their spin on them. Tommy James also had another well known hit titled "Draggin' The Line", other songs of theirs include "Hanky Panky" and "Sweet Cherry Wine" any of these songs, I'm sure, you'll be happy with. This was a totally awesome music reaction, thanks!

  • @steves9905
    @steves9905 Před 2 lety +4

    Luv TJ and Shondells...esp this song. It makes you happy cause its beautifully written and played...slightly trippy...not quite psychedelic, but operates at that level meant to hit you on a spiritual and mental level.

  • @stephenulmer3781
    @stephenulmer3781 Před 2 lety +6

    Bros, The longer version of this is the best version. This is the shortened radio version

  • @davidschecter5247
    @davidschecter5247 Před 2 lety +15

    Tommy James has been writing brilliant pop/rock music for 55 years. His solo material is fabulous as well. An incredibly underrated writer/performer. You guys are SO RIGHT about the musicianship back then and how much work they put into making these songs sound as phenomenally as possible. As you said -- NO COMPUTERS! Just talent.

  • @npkrn6764
    @npkrn6764 Před 2 lety +4

  • @TheArcade70

    A fabulous track. If you like the sound of this band, you have to listen "Crystal Blue Persuasion". A masterpiece.

    I am a 60 year old woman that watch you guys quite often. I love that you are learning the music that I grew up with. we actually have the same taste in music from Tommy James and the shondells to Alice in chains! who would have thought?! Oh and by the way George you are just the cutest ever. lol

  • @francisxray9900
    @francisxray9900 Před 2 lety +2

    Very good reaction to an old song full of surprises. Remember, hearing it first time in the sixties. Got me at once. Now check out Emerson, Lake & Palmer with 'Lucky Man'. Will make you so happy!

  • @Katy_r
    @Katy_r Před 2 lety +28

    This song is so famous for its trippy vibe. A great song for chilling. "Crystal Blue Persuasion" is another one to try. Something else similar might be "Suavecito" by Malo (the band of Carlos Santana's younger brother Jorge). It has been sampled a lot for its cool sound. Thank you so much guys!!!

  • @davidpost428
    @davidpost428 Před 2 lety +4

    This was just a haunting song that echoes and this band can play! Tommy James had a great voice. In those days it was all about freedom to create and express! You guys are onto it!

    @spazimdam Před 2 lety +14

    Wow what a great old tune! I haven't thought about Crimson and Clover for years. I always used to hear this on the radio back in the day. Coolness. A trippy song from way back when.

  • @joonzville
    @joonzville Před 2 lety +9

    "It makes me happy…for some reason." Yeah, it did the same to us 50+ years ago! 😆 This group has some great songs. More pop rock than rock n roll, but still great listening. Some recs: Crystal Blue Persuasion (another beautiful psychedelic type song), I Think We’re Alone Now, Hanky Panky, Draggin’ the Line, and Mony, Mony.

  • @soniasurija8880

    The cool sound is reverb. My sister was in a band in the 70’s and I loved to play with it on their amp.

  • @donnabruhn6907
    @donnabruhn6907 Před 2 lety +6

    This is my favorite Tommy James, it makes you happy because this is groovy 60's
    Vibes at their finest. They had some great hits from this era. Joan Jett also does a kick ass later version.

  • @skydogfan4671
    @skydogfan4671 Před rokem +1

    Really enjoyed your reaction to this song. Just saw Tommy James a week ago. Great concert! He still sounds really good after all these years.

  • @choos6919

    I can watch Patico and George view, rate, and comment on new Rock Songs 24/7. They are two of the most honest, coolest, and enjoyable dudes on CZcams. They would be #1 on my list to have a beer with.

  • @anglosaxon5874

    Loved this song as a kid. Best music 60's-80's!

  • @lightingprotogo
    @lightingprotogo Před 2 lety +14

    Crystal Blue Persuasion has two mixes floating around CZcams, one with horns, one without. The one without misses some of those brass dynamics. BTW....IMHO, CBP is their best tune. Like CCR, nobody seems to react to their best tunes, in CCR's case, "Up Around the Bend" which is a must listen for CCR fans.

  • @skrozar2000
    @skrozar2000 Před 2 lety +21

    George Harrison "WHAT IS LIFE" is such a great song, there are ao many instruments going on if you can really listen it is crazy how many sre incorporated into such a great tune.

  • @nenelles-dancelikenobodysw8511

    Yaaasssss!!! DRAGGIN THE LINE next 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

  • @Mikex973
    @Mikex973 Před 2 lety +10

    TOMMY JAMES AND THE SHONDELLS ARE BEST KNOWN FOR THE SONG CRYSTAL BLUE PERSUASION AND IT IS PROBABLY THE BEST SONG THEY EVER DID SO YOU MIGHT WANT TO REVIEW THAT FOR THE NEXT TOMMY JAMES REVIEW.

    Love this - you guys already did Billy Idol's cover of Tommy James & Shondell's 'Mony Mony'!

  • @dagmar.6954
    @dagmar.6954 Před 2 lety +7

    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 "Hanky Panky", "I Think We're Alone Now", "Mirage", "Mony Mony", "Sweet Cherry Wine", "Ball Of Fire", "Do Something To Me" & "Crystal Blue Persuasion". When Tommy went solo in the 70's "Draggin' The Line" & "Three Times In Love" were hits for him.

  • @roberttompkins6489
    @roberttompkins6489 Před 2 lety +3

    Tommy James work is often overlooked--however he produced some of the greatest rock/pop songs of the 60s

  • @happymethehappyone8300
    @happymethehappyone8300 Před 2 lety +1

    A True Classic,, Argent "Hold Your Head Up"

  • @DianaJG8
    @DianaJG8 Před 2 lety +9

    NOW you're talking MY teenage years! Loved this song - soooo progressive and "far out"! ❤️
    BTW, Shondells is pronounced (phonetically): Shawn-Dell's - emphasis on the "dells" part. 😊

  • @kathleensmith3555
    @kathleensmith3555 Před 2 lety +5

    you can almost hear how this song had a big influence on music that came afterwards

  • @Marcus-Oh-really-yes
    @Marcus-Oh-really-yes Před 2 lety

    Tommy James and the Shondells performed the original 1968 version of "Mony, Mony," a 1987 live cover version of which by Billy Idol that reached No. 1 in the U.S. you have already reacted to. You might also like Tommy's "I Think We're Alone Now" (1967), a cover version of which by the teen singer Tiffany also reached No. 1 in the U.S. in 1987.

  • @annemaclean6634
    @annemaclean6634 Před 2 lety +10

    Wow, lots of memories of the 1960s with this beautiful song, one of my favourites! Another great Tommy James song is Mony Mony (if you remember, guys, you reacted to the version by Billy Idol). There is such a lot going on in this song, Crimson and Clover, it's amazing, and I've listened to it so many times. Many thanks for reacting to this, guys, great reaction as always, take care now.

  • @satorimystic
    @satorimystic Před 2 lety +6

    "Crystal Blue Persuasion" is another that will slide right into this vibe. Got to listen to it, next.

    One of my all time favorite songs! Way before my time but it gives me goosebumps and makes me happy!! I feel this song is that feeling of being with the one you love and adore it’s almost hard to explain

  • @jacksaintjack2844
    @jacksaintjack2844 Před rokem

    This period of music was all about experimentation. Stretching boundaries. Sonic manipulation and the endless possibilities that could be realized with lyrics, instrumentation, themes, production, etc.

  • @byronmitchell3784
    @byronmitchell3784 Před 2 lety

    TOMMY JAMES, "CRIMSON AND CLOVER ", Pschycodelic Rock was just a very hip sound. I remember this song when I was in 6th grade in 1968. more... "MONY, MONY", "CRYSTAL BLUE PERSUASION", "DRAGGING THE LINE", "HANKY PANKY", "I THINK WE"RE ALONE NOW".

  • @rolandratz1
    @rolandratz1 Před 2 lety

    Bro`s - there is no synthesizer, no sampels - this is good old handmade music. This song, as well as "Mony mony" or "Hanky Panky" were companions of my youth in the late 60s.
    That these songs have lasted so long is quite amazing, at the moment you remember the 60s, 70s, 80s and also the 90s.

  • @Mark-iv7np
    @Mark-iv7np Před 2 lety

    First time I heard this I knew it would be a big hit. Tommy wrote this with Pete Lucia. Tho he wrote another big hit Mony Mony. Got the idea when in a hotel room gazed out and saw Mutual of New York bldg. He has such a great voice. Many great songs. Sweet Cherry Wine, Crystal Blue Persuasion, I think were Alone Now, Do Something to Me, Ball of Fire. It's terrible their not in Rock n Roll Hall of Fame heard that organization is a joke becoming more and evident who gets in and who doesn't.
