Tommy James had a talent for recording songs that he and The Shondells were just jamming to…Hanky Panky…..Crimson And Clover…..I wouldn’t be surprised if Crystal Blue Persuasion were the same….just a jam session.
this is the story i have gotten from several friends who are jehovah witnesses…larry graham (the bass player for sly and the family stone) is a witness and helped tommy convert…at tommy’s conversion ceremony, larry presented him with a bible that had a crystal blue cover…tommy wrote and recorded “crystal blue persuasion” as his way of askin’ ‘can’t we all get along?”…
