After suffering a medical emergency backstage in March 1970, and being pronounced dead before doctors revived him, the former Tommy James and the Shondells frontman walked away from the spotlight.
However, a few years later, James returned with a song that not only launched his solo career, but it became his biggest solo hit.
Originally released as a B side of "Church Street Soul Revival," the 1970 hit gained traction as radio DJs began pushing the track.
While many fans believed the song was a cryptic message about Tommy's history of drug abuse, the artist insisted that was not the case.
