Tommy Roe - Sheila Lyrics

my aunt name is sheila

Her name was Sheila Donnaly and My God she was beautiful.

Great clip! And thanx for the bio info. I always try to include some educational info with video. I think it does add something.

Love songs was better in the 1910s and the 1920s

My reserve grandmother’s name is sheilah

J'adore

The Beatles covered it aswell in 1962. Early days^^

Absolutely beautiful song.
Genuine Classic 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

He's lip synching to the original 1962 recording on what is I'm guessing a tv show from a much later period, I'd say late 60's or possibly even early 70's judging by the mutton chop sideburns. I read some time ago that he broke up a fight between Chis Montez (Let's Dance) and John Lennon while they were touring the UK with The Beatles in March 1963. They all get back onto the tour bus after a big party and Lennon still holding a beer, pissed as a fart, pours beer on Montez's head while he was asleep and it was on for young and old after that with poor Tommy in the middle. Lol.

This was Garry Sutherland favorite song. Garry was a fun guy to hang out with. R. I. P. . . .

Hello from Berlin, Germany, havent heard nor seen this one for ages, It is so fine💋😍👍

Here is the original version, done by Tommy Roe 2 yrs earlier, it sounds even MORE like Buddy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0K8Un8odDIU

Tommy Roe And Buddy Holly

A lot of Buddy Holly here

Great singer and a very good person.

Das war auch ein Song , den ich sehr mochte. Gibt es auch deutschsprachige User hier?

Ja. Werbung für Daihatsu Feroza von 1992. Auch hier bei youtube.

Was hat daß jetzt mit diesen Song zu tun? Brauche keine Werbung.

@Gabi Jonczyk Da wurde das Lied gespielt. Sieh sie dir doch mal an. Dauert nur 30 Sekunden.

@vdrbw Nö, mache ich nicht. Die Musik ist mir wichtiger. Ach ja , einen Daihatsu führen wir auch und waren sehr zufrieden mit ihm 😀😉 wünsche einen schönen Feiertag

fuhren wir auch ☝😀

They said the music died on 2 Feb. 1959. Tommy Roe revived it.

WTF ? WHATS WRONG WITH HIS VOICE ?

Sheila Watkins was fine - in 1969!

I remember stopping at the "Prairie Queen" downtown in my home town on payday of my paper route, buying a vanilla twist soft ice cream cone, and popping a nickle in the juke box to listen to this song, and others like Down in the Boondocks by Billy Joe Royale. I didn't know about the Buddy Holly connection because I was too young, but listening to this now you can definitely hear Buddy Holly's influence. Thanks for the memories.

WAS IN VIETNAM WHEN THIS 1 CAME OUT

buddy holly in that song!! awesome

He looks like a yong Benny Hill

Buddy Holly's career only lasted 18 months. His influence,has been around for generations. Tommy Roe,Bobby Fuller(RIP),The Beatles..All owe Buddy Holly a huge prop. Fast forward to today. Elvis Costello,Marshall Crenshaw,&Radney Foster were all inspired by Buddy Holly. He will always rave on.

Buddy hollly rip off

It is still quite good.

I have always liked this song. As so many others have said, it has Buddy Holly written all over it.

You guys should check out this cover of Sheila. It's the only one I've seen that I actually like and I've been playing it on repeat

Intro is like Green Card.

My first real girlfriend was Sheila O'leary 1962.

Ich liebe dieses Lied

Man you can really hear the buddy holly influence in his voice.

My father named me Sheila because of this song 😂💕

its a good name you most be a beautiful girl I think the Aussies call all women sheila s.

name my daughter after this

Sheila x ,So did mine,I never forgave him , I was the only boy in school with a girls name !

60s, 70s and 80s will always be the best!

Finally I found it... my Mum has it in 80s mix cassettes and I never knew the title.

Thanks for providing my name

Ran wild in the woods back then, all day, some nights too, never any danger, what a life.

Great song. Sounds like Buddy Holly.

What can I say old music will never die!! Candy for my ears.

I found a really cool version of this song that's really underrated. Check it out

I always wanted to date a girl named Sheila

Melania - you are great for europe - not only for D.J.

Pequena Sheila, você vai conhecê-la se você vê-la Olhos azuis e um rabo de cavalo Suas bochechas são rosadas, ela parece um pouco intrometida Essa garotinha está bem Nunca conheci uma garota como - um pouco Sheila O nome dela me deixa insana Doce garotinha, essa é minha pequena Sheila Cara, essa garotinha está bem Eu e Sheila vamos dar uma volta Oh-oh-oh-oh, eu Sinto tudo engraçado por dentro Então a pequena Sheila sussurra em meu ouvido Oh-oh-oh-oh, eu te amo Sheila querida Sheila disse que me amava, ela disse que nunca iria me deixar O verdadeiro amor nunca vai morrer Nós somos tão felizes Estou andando por aí Cara, essa garotinha está bem Nunca conheci uma garota como - um pouco Sheila O nome dela me deixa insana Doce garotinha, essa é minha pequena Sheila Man,essa garotinha está bem Eu e Sheila vamos dar uma volta Oh-oh-oh-oh, eu me sinto toda engraçada por dentro Então a pequena Sheila sussurra em meu ouvido Oh-oh-oh-oh, eu te amo Sheila querida Sheila disse que me amou Ela disse que nunca me deixaria Verdadeiro amor nunca vai morrer Nós somos tão esperançosos e felizes por estar juntos Oh, essa garotinha está bem Oh, essa garotinha está bem Sim, essa garotinha está bem

Before Tommy sank into the bubblegum world of "Dizzy" he was a top notch Buddy Holly impersonator. This song is the proof! It's even better than some of Buddy's tracks.

Shelia and I*. FUCK THIS SONG.

SHELIA ERLIC

what 99 trolls without a soul give a thumb down to this.. burn in hell

Danced to this many times.

Pretty obviously inspired in large part by Peggy Sue, and that's no bad thing! RIP Peggy Sue Gerron.

Wow I was 12 when this came out

One of my all time favorite singers!

Underrated singer.

The drum paradiddle, hiccupping guitar and background vocals raise this hit version above Tommy Roe's original version and the one he still does. The closer he stayed to Buddy Holly the better it became.

I went to school with Tommy, same grade. Hey, Tommy, hope you are doing well!

Lubbock WesTex - Hotlanna Ga - Scouseville UK - Webwize Worldwide 'n WAY beyond - 'til all times end....

bj j adore souvenir bisous merci

love it...

Tommy Roe was my favorite in 68/69 when I was 9 and 10 years old. I could listen to him 24/7 back then.

The first 45 I ever bought back when I was a youngin'!

The Lubbock sound!!!

I’m only 23 but I can imagine myself in 1962 driving a ‘57 Ford Fairlane on some crager mag wheels listening to this

Thumbs up if you ever dated a Sheila. Mine was a petite dark haired dark eyed bombshell. What a doll.

Einfach klasse !

Loved it how about the folk singer

❤️♥️🌹

double happy! love it!

Liked this song too in 1962 and I was 12, now 67! I got a hand held "6 transistor" radio when I was 12 for Christmas and started listened to the new and exciting world of Rock and Roll music on the ONLY RnR AM station we had in Cincinnati, WSAI ! Then the later 60s came along and it was sex, drugs and RnR! Now all I have left is RnR! Owl!!!!
Of course, they say if you remember the 60s, you weren't really there! hahahahahah! JR

he,, try buddy, sing,!!

I was named after this song

Sounds like the  50's good stuff.

This was the first record I had.

The genius of this song is that it sounds like Buddy Holly easily could have written if you didn't know better. In my opinion, to this day, this is the best Buddy Holly song Buddy never wrote. Roe's performance is the icing. I MISS ALL the music Buddy Holly never had a chance to write through all these years. I was a 15 year old fan when he left us in 59'.

My sister "Sheila" bought this and played the arse of it all the time I was a baby in a pram so I'm brainwashed with this song, but in a good way 😎

За мен е на едно ниво с Peggy Sue на Buddy Holly. Приличат си.

"influenced by the sounds of the late Buddy Holly." Bwaaaahahaha. "Influenced?" Ripped off more like it. And then he turned to bubblegum with "Dizzy."

Very Buddy Hollyesque

Hey guys! I covered this song and spent a lot of time recording (it's my first cover!)
If you care to listen, here it is :) I really hope you like it!

Just for me

She got a polyushka - magyarorszag pony - and a piran slovenic

I wasnt born yet

This vocal by Tommy Roe is so close to the vocal of Buddy Holly,it becomes obvious where his style was coming from.It's the 50s all over again.Buddy reincarnated as 60s Rockabilly Star.Great tune.

Hey Sheila GlennRemember our kiss?

Glad I was around back then...great time to be young...

Thought it was Buddy Holly when I first heard it and soooooo different to his song: Dizzy

Sounds like Buddy Holly!

blew me away when I was 13

so cool

Shelia ,Peggy Sue same tune

same here, enjoy

fought the law sounds like brothers

bobby fuller

I fought the law same

drums rock

he was a big guy with a high voice

When you are only 20 years old and you know this song by heart

One of the shortest pop sons of all time but great
