Mike Vale

The story

For DJ/producer please use Mike Vale (2).

Recorded in 1964, the song 491699 by the Shondells suddenly surged in popularity and hit number one in 1966. The band’s leader by this time, Tommy Jackson (later renamed Tommy James) didn’t have a band and stopped in the Thunderbird Lounge in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. There he encountered a group called the Raconteurs and asked them to become the new Shondells.

The Raconteurs consisted of Michael Vucish (formerly of the group the Sonics), Vinnie Pietropaoli, Joe Kessler, Ron Rosman, and George Magura. Mike Vucish’s name was changed to Mike Vale, and after their first two albums as Tommy James and the Shondells, Vinnie Pietropaoli and Joe Kessler were replaced by Peter Lucia and Eddie Zgorecki (changed to Gray) and George Magura dropped out.
