well...what can I say...know most of you are prob chuckling (and understandably), but...I had a hankering to hear TOMMY, JUDY and ME...
Ok...this certainly IS obscure; came out in 1980 or 1981...it's def a love it or hate it...was hoping that somebody here might have a rip of this....somebody???

Rob Hegel - Tommy, Judy & Me

It was a #109 hit on the Billboard 'Bubbling Under' chart. Not that obscure. The album stiffed, though.

Oh...Somebody...WOW!! Thank you SO MUCH!! I'm indebted to you..

I'm originally from NYC (Staten Island) and soon to be returning again I'm happy to say (Westchester and that area) and, you know..
I forget which station it was..maybe..99X ...around there..
and they used to have a "Most Requested" every night, and THAT SONG, for the LONGEST time was a #1 Most Requested...
It's very silly/bubblegumm-ish...that's what made it so great..
He (Rob Hegel) was known more as a songwriter I believe, and tried as a follow-up with "We're Lovers After All", but...no dice...in fact, you're right..MOST of the album I remember being pretty bad..

BIG thanks to you again.

You're welcome. But don't thank me. I just remembered where I got that from. "We're Lovers After All" is there, as well...

www.bodapestmusic.com/tommyjudyme.html.

I don't have the album yet. Just a 7" of "TJ&M." So I wouldn't be the expert to ask on what the rest of it sounds like. As far as the hit, I don't think there's anything to be ashamed of. Always reminded me of Genesis, anyway.

I'm told it got a lot of airplay on the East Coast, but I didn't live in the U.S. in 1980.
