Tommy James has the songs and the stats to claim the title of Superstar. Starting with Hanky Panky in 1966, the hits rolled out - I Think We're Alone Now, Gettin' Together, Mony Mony, Crimson and Clover, Crystal Blue Persuasion and Draggin' the Line to name only a few. Then there were the successful cover versions by Billy Idol, Tiffany and Joan Jett.

And the stats - 23 Gold Records, 9 Platinum Albums, over 100 Million Records Sold Worldwide and 32 Billboard Hot 100 Chart Hits!

The Tommy James story is amazing. Signing with a mob run record label provided an interesting start, knocking back Woodstock and rejecting songs from George Harrison adds to this incredible tale.

Plus in this episode Brian unveils the newest Uncanny X Men song It's a Shame.

It's not and it isn't new either, but a reworking of a track from 1982's SaliveOne.
