I think all the Sheilas come here. I'm Sheila too, but I was born in 1960, only slightly before this song was released.

@byrunbower

Me as well, even if i'm only 18.

50's - 80's , Best music ever!

[byrunbower]

Believe it or not, I am a 25 year old guy. Growing up I had a huge family and all of my brothers listened to hip hop and my parents listened to Country. I don't know how or why but I have always listened to "Oldies." It is the best music ever. Nothing compares, even though I am also a Country fan. "Oldies" makes me feel so happy and pure...I wish it were on every radio station but at least I can still listen to it online. Man, I would have loved the 50's 60's and 70's.

[Palandy33]

@byrunbower Hey you certainly missed out on the main music time, but look on the good side you are only 25!! The 60's music will live on forever when all the reat disappears.

[62Elvis]

its amazing how much he sounds like buddy holly on this cool song.

[Dean66Essex]

cant beat the 60s music, much better than the bullshit stuff they produce today..

[Palandy33]

@Dean66Essex Hey well said Dean

[she2278]

I named my only child after this song. I loved it that much!

[motelcalifornia]

Man! This people can dance!!! ROTFLMAO

[bobbyfozz]

There's 6 gay people watching this video.

[09kittykatz09]

Yeah.....Notice the Buddy Holly influence...BIG TIME!!!!!

[Baskerville22]

@09kittykatz09 Strong hints of Peggy Sue...

[birdland1]

I saw Tommy live in London in the 90's also on the bill were the Crickets, this song could easy be one of Buddy Holly's

[avillager]

hey, what show is this? and from what year? ... i must say, tommy roe has aged quite well.

[perransands]

BRILLIANT THANK YOU FOR SHARING.

[thaliagirl1000]

love it

[snow0355]

Wow!

I am sheila!!!!! happy call may name ,LOL.❤

[tglatner1]

Another great artist from the 60's. That's when music was "music", something you could relate to, and understand. It had a beat, unlike the junk today. I feel sorry for anyone not born early enough to have enjoyed the sounds. I will always listen to this music....The greatest...

[audiotrax2000]

Fantastic song! So much to study with this style of music; it leads into so many other forms: rockabilly, surf, new wave. Just add a harder edge to it - so much to play with here for songwriting. :)

[psadoug]

all these years i thought greg kihn wrote this song. great song regardless.

[a51hawks]

He his so Excellent, what an intertainer, still sounds great. thanks for the video:-)

[ShielaHuss]

I remember playing this record when I was a kid. My name is Shiela and I guess my dad or bro must have got it for me. I am thinking it was firsts released in 1962 - the year I was born.. confused lol

[tplayer73]

Time has been good to this guy. Looks really good at his age!

[moorediversified]

Always a nostalgic time to think about, West End, Brown High School, a great art teacher Ms. Ann Liggin and best high school ever along with a favorite school remembrance with Tommy Roe's music. Never forget it. "William"

[daspoilt1]

my name is sheila ....lol afta how long I have song name SHEILA! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sheila5060]

i got my name from this song......

[margiescottage]

my hubby called me at work today & played this over the cell phone for me..... so sweet ! Sheila

[brucer12]

Shella---rockin with Tommy Roe---Thx for one great song!!

[tommyandtammy1]

i used to play with billy joe royal and we did several shows with tommy roe.

[HOUNDDAWG]

I remember it well! Not only was there a beautiful neighborhood girl named Sheila that I loved and wanted to sing this song to, but, this song was cutting edge, high energy rock & roll in 1962.

I was still a bit young but this music made my wedding package package throb, and I knew I wanted to rub it up against some girls!

[samlepluvr625]

My Father named me after this song!! Gotta love it!!

[oldeblueboy]

Great memories. I had the good fortune to see Tommy Roe in concert in 1962. He topped the bill at the Liverpool Empire. Also on that bill was Chris Montez (of Let's Dance fame) who was also terrific and a local group called the Beatles.

[mischievouspineapple]

When I was young I loved this song... Now I just can't understand why. Haha. No offense intended.

[aarfeld]

@mischievouspineapple: Well, one of the reasons that you may love it is that it's as if it was lifted straight out of Buddy Holly's note pad. You can't wrong imitating Buddy--a young Lennon and McCartney used him as their mentor as well and as is evident in many of their early creations.

[plutoplatters]

@mischievouspineapple it's because you were smart then. no offense intended.

[mischievouspineapple]

@plutoplatters Oh, of course I'll take into account the opinion of someone bitter enough to get riled up over a song. It wasn't a personal attack directed at you, so take it easy.

[thumpercatwe2]

my grandma told my mom and her bros and sisters that she used to date Tommy Roe and when they broke up he wrote this song... HER NAME IS SHEILA!! HOW WEIRD IS THAT!!!!! they were never dating though.... XD good gag joke though....

[thumpercatwe2]

hahaha my grandma made a funny to her kids about this song...... XD good song 2 lol

[dylanchaput54]

What year was this concert? Look like early 80's.

[maken410]

Dead on instrumentation that captures and even adds more feeling than the original studio version. I appreciate an artist who gets it right.

[Nefarioso]

Great Buddy Holly tribute song.

[thelovesickdrifter]

Yep!

[lovessheila]

I like this song, when i was young my parents told me that this song was mine, because my name is sheila and i have blue eyes.

[tacosrfunny]

I was also named after this song. I was born in 1970. My dad named me after this song...he must have known I would be nosey!

[nomisbehvn]

Love Tommy Roe! Have listened to his tunes for years! "Dizzy" is my ultimate favorite, but all the others are sing-a-longs too!

[XMIR10C]

It seems to me I posted this a while back and now its famous

[jazza123456789o]

It would be nice if someone could post 'Ginny come lately' & 'The Folk singer' by Tommy. Surely someone must have copies somewhere?

[slasherjbr]

my name is Sheila and i'm a man

[puppypuncher61]

ha ha

[gloyahoo]

Great song by a Great Singer from back in the day. Tommy Roe what a singer.

[avp60685]

This is a beautiful song I can't stop listening to it, Michael J. Fox mentioned this song in his latest book "Always looking up" and how he and his siblings sang it at his oldest sister's Karen's funeral. It is sweet song and so easy to remember once you hear it you can't get enough of it and you never forget how it sounds.

[29Janice]

Oops! I meant 1967 is when I saw him live.

[29Janice]

I LOVE this! It brings me back to 1964 when Tommy came back from Viet Nam (he served in the Army) and I heard him sing live at the Seattle Center. Thanks for posting this video!

[tingles0069]

This was playing on the radio as my dad was driving to the hospital when I ws born (1969). I love this song!!! I have neither ponytails or blue eyes but that is ok.

[originalwildman1969]

Tommy actualy wrote this this song with the name Freda, but then changed it to Shelia. either way it is still a fun ,happy song. No one can put on a show like Tommy!!!

[almostvanilla]

I hate my name because of this song.

[scrott18]

my name is sheila and i was born in november but in 92 =]

[takoma5]

You should be happy, Sheila is one of

the most beautiful girlie names i know..

[elmarkothegreat]

[spacepatrolman]

Wow, this is awesome!!!! Tommy sounds awesome and still looks HOT!!!! Thanks for the post!

[novapup2001]

Great song. Nice job, Tommy. RIP Buddy Holly.

[sjw2005]

Another Sheila here, but named before the song came out.

[sheilaannhoadley]

My mom heard this song in the 60's and said her first daughter was going 2 be named Sheila. In Nov. 67 she had her daughter and her name is Sheila.

[strummer357]

great rhythm, great song.

[perrywar]

GREAT!

[txhillcntry2005]

I remember back in the late 60's my girl friends and I found out where Paul Revere and The Raiders were staying when they were touring through Fort Worth TX. We went to the hotel and met Tommy Roe as well as other band members. The best part was Tommy gave me a kiss on the cheek. I thought I died and went to heaven. Those were the fun good ol' days.

[grammy1145]

That is such acute story , I enjoyed that and sounds like something I would do . Thanks for sharing !

[nativequeen222]

I love this song so much!!! My grade five teacher used to play this for us on his guitar, Mr. Knutson was so awesome at the guitar!!! But he was like a hippie... Ha ha ha, hippies smell. I can't belive he still teach's he is 60 years-old!!! :D

[fmarine1]

Vocal aren't bad, music leaves a lot to be desired, no matter the time lapse

[Palandy33]

Music not the same because the dreaded keyboard is being used here.

[fmarine1]

Wimpy version of a great song

[Palandy33]

Great song,great version considering time lapse.

[MichelleKolbe]

my neice got her name from this song....in australia they call females sheila///

[zacandtaylorrule]

This is the song that introduced to Tommy Roe. I first like everybody else thought it was Buddy Holly. My favorite Tommy Roe songs are Shelia, Oh Sweet Pea, Dizzy and Horay For Hazel. I love Tommy Roe.

[Bosniack]

haha my mom was named after this song!

[RONDOC68]

Did your mom and Tommy have sexual intercourse?

[doowopisnumber1]

Wow his voice sounds the same as it did when he was in his prime, amazing.

[corycollier]

yeah it does

[sukie1958]

the sounds not in time with the vid though

[sukie1958]

this was even a bigger hit for del shannon

[luv4lightfoot]

This is the first song I remember. I was living on Madeline Island in 1962 and my mom's little brother gave me a pet rabbit and I named it Sheila because I loved the song, the rabbit and the name, Sheila.

[bluelightenigma]

Rock on Tommy...!!!

[bamitssheila2]

wow first time i heard this song my name is Sheila lol pretty good song though

[fmarine1]

The Beatles preformed this in their Hamburg/Cavern days with George doing the lead vocal

[alaspin85]

its was a great song!!!!

[KENVAIL]

this is obviously somewhat modeled on 'peggy sue' by buddy holly.
