There ya go. Tommy James went from iconic 60s pop (I think We're Alone Now) to funky (Mony Mony) to psychedelic (Crimson & Clover) to New Age (Crystal Blue Persuasion) in three years.
The guy's got a book out; Apparently the mob controlled his entire career and ripped him off badly.

I saw Tommy James on a double bill with Spirit (another great IMO, Randy California wrote some great stuff) back in the day. It was at a local nightclub in Schaumburg. The place held about 250 people and it was damn near empty.
To the credit of both bands they played full sets and put their all into it.
Mr. Skin...we know where you've been.

Tommy James another example of the great music the State of Michigan cranked out in the 60s, and it just wasn’t Motown.
