Description

This song was posted from Tommy James' "Alive" album that was released on June 7, 2019. The song "I'm Alive" was written by Tommy James and Peter Lucia. This song is on the Tommy James and The Shondells 1969 album Crimson & Clover. "In 1969, Johnny Thunder released a version of "Alive". Bob Dylan, who had heard Thunder's "I'm Alive" on the radio, was asked by Rolling Stone's Jann Wenner that year if he was impressed by anything in the rock music scene and he pointed to the song: "Never heard it either, huh? Well, I can't believe it. Everyone I've talked to, I've asked them if they've heard that record. It was one of the most powerful records I've ever heard. It's called 'I'm Alive.' By Johnny Thunder. Well, it was that sentiment truly expressed. That's the most I can say ... if you heard the record, you'd know what I mean." English singer Don Fardon released a cover version as a single also in 1969. In 1974, Swedish band Blue Swede recorded a mash-up that combined verses of "I'm Alive", written by Tommy James and Pet Lucia with others borrowed from "Hush", written by Joe South. The song was also recorded by Tom Jones and released in 2008. (Wikipedia)
