Tommy James Reinvents Supremes and Beatles Classics
Last June, we spoke to legendary hitmaker Tommy James about the fact that Sony Publishing granted James the privilege of recording any songs he wanted from the Motown and Beatles catalogs for use in upcoming movies and television programs. So Tommy picked the first hit single from The Supremes: 1964’s “Where Did Our Love Go.” The Beatle song Tommy chose was “You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away” from the band’s 1965 Help! soundtrack.
