Along with 23 gold singles, 9 platinum albums, and over 100 million records sold worldwide, the band’s music is featured in over 65 films, 53 tv shows, and numerous commercials. Tommy’s critically acclaimed autobiography “Me, the Mob and the Music” is now in pre-production for a film with producer Barbara DeFina.
