Sheila

(Tommy Roe)

Song by Tommy Roe which was his first No, 1 hit and actually the B side of “Save Your Kisses”.  Disc jockeys preferred it to the A side and began playing it instead.  The song is likened to Buddy Holly’s “Peggy Sue”, although Tommy wrote it when he was fourteen, a full year before the latter song was released.
