This guy rocks like Buddy Holly!
@sdcrouch Wow! And I’m bangin’ a girl named Sheila now!
The first time I heard this I was 5 begged my mom to make them play it again…My Name is Sheila..
I was named after this song too I was born before 1969 tho!
I was named after this song, too!
Wonderful!!!

Had a girlfriend named Sheila in 1963. I think this song came out just before that? She was a long legged, straight dark haired beauty…I was speechless when I found out she wanted to go out with me. I think my shyness made me come across as a dork. So…another sweet memory. Not many girls were named Sheila back then.
I think it is neat to have someone else named after the song Sheila.. There are not too many Sheila’s to begin with…Except for the men calling women Sheila’s in Australia
ME TOO!!!!
I was born in 72.
I was named after this song. I quite like the song but don’t know why my mom thought is was so great to name me after this song. I was born in 69. It was a great year I hear.
goog dizzy is better
Love the way this song is played in this!
love sheila etc…where is tommy roe today????
Tommy’s musical style was much influenced by Buddy Holly. He worked with some of the greats, including Roy Orbison and Jerry lee Lewis.
Another great performer out of Atlanta!
Mmm..not bad looking! I’d never seen Tommy Roe before but I’ve heard this song many times before because my friend’s dad had a well worn copy from his youth. In my childish way I always assumed that Tommy Roe looked like my friend’s dad. I’m Pleasantly surprised. Great song, too!
Could this performance been part of “Midnight Special?”
The background lettering looks like it.
Great song! As a goofy little kid, I always thought Buddy Holly sang this song. I guess there is a similarity in their styles. Thanks for uploading
No Dick Clark was the creator of the show, a spin-off to American Bandstand and yes Paul Revere & The Raiders plus Tommy Roe, Linda Scott and another bunch of surprise guests helped mc this variety show. It lasted from 1965 through 1967 and usually filmed by a beach side location in Southern California, great show. Buddy Holly did Peggy Sue which comes pretty close to the song tempo of Sheila by Tommy Roe. Those were the good old days no drugs and clean cut, maybe a few brewskees but that’s it!!
Nice one thanks.
Do any of you baby boomers remember an ABC afternoon show in the mid or late sixties called “Where the action is”?? I think Dick Clark may have hosted it but I could be wrong. Anyway Tommy Roe was usually a regular as were Paul Revere and the Raiders. Wow good memories. At trivia and quizzo nights a lot of people thinkthe song”Sheila” is sung by Buddy Holly.
The Beatles covered this song,except George Harrison forgets the lyrics in the middle of the song,lol,check out the video
This song totally makes me think of my bowling coach SHEILA!!!!! wonder y?
this guys got some serious talent awesome songs mr roe
Excellent version in my opinion, no complaints here.
I believe this was written as a tribute to Buddy Holly.
