"I Like The Way" #25 7/29/1967

Tommy James and the Shondells were no longer a band with a fluky #1 hit, but were for real. As a result, the release schedule of their records got a little crazy. This came out only eight weeks after "Mirage," and still did reasonably well. The craziness also took its toll with rampant pill use, which Tommy acknowledged in his book, "Me, the Mob, and the Music." Remember, he was only 19 at the time. It also brought about personnel changes within the band.
