Tommy James Turns 55 (Apr. 29) And Turns Emcee
NEWARK, N.J. (Wireless Flash) 1960s-era singer Tommy James turns 55 on Monday (Apr. 29) but hes not sitting around doing the Hanky Panky. The man who topped the charts with hits like I Think Were Alone Now and Crimson & Clover is now hoping to top the Nielsen ratings as the host of a new series, American Jukebox. James just finished filming the pilot for the series, which creates new videos for classic oldies, like his hit, Mony, Mony. Although James usually sings, not speaks, when hes behind a microphone, he says hes enjoyed the challenge, and is confident hell be able to become a Carson Daly for baby boomers. No word on if American Jukebox will become a series but James latest recording is Tommy James And The Shondells: Live At The Bitter End.
