<P> "Crimson and Clover" was a huge success, and the group would have two follow - up hits that also reached the Hot 100's top 10, "Sweet Cherry Wine" and "Crystal Blue Persuasion". James, who co-wrote all three of those songs, and his band did well enough with the transition to be invited to perform at Woodstock . James describes Artie Kornfeld's invitation like this: "Artie was up and asked if you could play at this pig farm up in upstate New York ." I said, "What?!?" "Well, they say it's gonna be a lot of people there, and it's gonna be a really important show ." At the time James was in Hawaii and was incredulous about being asked to travel 6,000 miles to play a show on an upstate New York pig farm, telling the Roulette Records secretary, "If I'm not there, start without us, will you please?" In 1970, after four minor hits, drugs almost killed James when, at a concert, he collapsed, and was pronounced dead . However, he survived, hated the recording studio, and moved up into the country to vegetate . The Shondells, without James, recorded and released two albums under the name Hog Heaven before disbanding three years later . </P> <P> Tommy James and The Shondells were voted into the Michigan Rock and Roll Legends online Hall of Fame in 2006 . Four of the band's biggest hits have been voted Legendary Michigan Songs: "Crimson & Clover" in 2010, and "Hanky Panky", "I Think We're Alone Now", and "Mony Mony" in 2011 . </P> <P> James went solo and had two further Billboard Hot 100 top 20 chart hits with "Draggin' the Line" (co-written by Bob King) (#4 in 1971) and "Three Times in Love" (#19 in 1980), plus eleven much smaller Hot 100 hits . "Hanky Panky" has been James' one RIAA certified gold single . He also wrote and produced the million - selling 1970 hit "Tighter, Tighter" for the group Alive' N Kickin' (co-written by Bob King). In 1971 James spent time in Nashville at the recommendation of friends when a "mob war" erupted among organized crime families in New York, and threats against James were intimated due to his connection to Morris Levy . He recorded an album there with top Nashville musicians, My Head, My Bed and My Red Guitar, which received critical acclaim but sold poorly . He left Roulette Records in 1974 and two more albums, In Touch (1976) and Midnight Rider (1977), followed on Fantasy Records, with yet another, Three Times in Love, appearing on Millennium Records in late 1979 . The independent label Aegis Records put out his Hi - Fi in 1990 . </P> <P> To date, over 300 musicians have recorded versions of James' music. . In the mid 1980s, three covers of James' songs were in the top ten on Billboard's Hot 100 (the last two simultaneously): Joan Jett with "Crimson and Clover", Billy Idol with "Mony Mony", and Tiffany with "I Think We're Alone Now". </P>
