1962. My brother John was killed by a drunk driver when he was 18. He had just met his girlfriend Sheila. I have never forgotten every word to this song. And I've never forgotten John.

Met a cute Filipino girl in 1991...Sheila..was 19 years old...fell in love..but she had been "working" the bars in Angeles City Philippines since age 13...😢...she was popping pills, drinking beer with a straw in the bottle... suffice it to say I couldn't control her...we broke up after she cheated on me .. about 8 years later they found her dead from AIDs...very sad tale..all true...I tried to change her for the good....but the bar owners, other girls, people... didn't like that...now...she's dead....😮😢

[@christopherhennessey8991]

I know it still hurts 42 yrs later. As long as you remember your brother ,whether by memory or the song Shiela,he’s still alive in your heart and with you always.

[@dr_schnabel4286]

My grandma died 2 weeks ago, that was her favorite song. We also played it at her funeral, everytime i hear that song, i can see her dancing. 😊😢

I was 18, when Tommy hit the charts with Sheila , it was pre Beatles dayS and I loved American pop then, one of my Fav songs from that era.

Same here. I am now 73 and remember this from1962, also the year Marilyn Monroe died. I like the backing singers here and of course the relentless drumming.

One of many songs that I used to listen to growing up that inspired me to play the drums. Simple yet driving rhythm.

[@cycleguy200]

Dizzy was the first song I learned to play on the drums , I was nine years old

[@paulinek9764]

Reminiscent of Buddy Holly's "Peggy Sue" and just as good.

[@sparky6086]

@paulinek9764 Tommy Roe first released this song in the late 1950's without the "Buddy Holly" touches or embellishments, & it didn't take off. Several years later & a couple of years after Buddy Holly's death, Tommy Roe's producer suggested, that there were still a lot of people around who wanted the Buddy Holly sound, so he insisted, that Tommy re-release "Sheila", but change it to make it sound like Buddy Holly. Roe reluctantly did it, because he was a Buddy Holly fan & thought it might be disrespectful to the memory of Holly. The second time around, "Sheila" went to #1.

He was very popular in Germany in the sixties. Fabulous time.

[@mkl62]

This hit from Tommy Roe went to #1 on the Top 40 charts. It also went to #1 in Australia and in Canada. It went to #3 in the United Kingdom, and to #9 in Germany. It would finish at #22 for the year, 1962. The numbers are getting smaller and the hits are getting bigger. Who will be #1? Will Bobby Lewis repeat? Or will a new act take the torch? Stay tuned.

In 1965 there was a two-day show that came to town called 'The Dick Clark Caravan of Stars'. The second night was the Rolling Stones but the first night was a collection of pop stars of the era including the Shangri Las, Dave Ckark Five, and of course Tommy Roe. Great shows!

[@grahamashdown4134]

What a great memory from the 60s,this song is Tommy Roe’s best by a mile,it reminds me a lot of Peggy Sue by Buddy Holly. Great to hear it again.

[@sparky6086]

Interestingly enough, Tommy Roe first released this song in the late 1950's without the "Buddy Holly" touches or embellishments, & it didn't take off. Several years later & a couple of years after Buddy Holly's death, Tommy Roe's producer suggested, that there were still a lot of people around who wanted the Buddy Holly sound, so he insisted, that Tommy re-release "Sheila", but change it to make it sound like Buddy Holly.

[@mcbillygoat]

The ABC recording of the song is done in the style of the Lubbock sound, made popular by Buddy Holly and the Crickets in the late 1950s; the strumming pattern, tempo, drumming, and chords (both songs are in the key of A) bear particularly strong resemblance to the Crickets' “Peggy Sue"; Roe's vocals are similar to Holly's. The song became the title track of Tommy Roe's debut studio album, Sheila, in 1962. - wikipedia

I would never leave him. He was so adorable! So polite & well manner. He was a Gentleman! To top of He was very intelligent person. Marlene Toledo Grayson

[@toledomarlene9835]

Good Morning! Daniel Stewart Grayson was always smiling. He study Law at UNM here in Albuquerque. He use tell me the State of NM is full of loopholes. He said. Criminal gets away with a lot. He said. When he first got out the military. He was a tank driver. During the Vietnam Veteran Marines War. He was a Marine Corp. Handsome person. In San Jose, California. He lived with some Jewish Catholic Lawyers. They had inspired him to study Law. Daniel has been gone for 18 years. I still miss him to this day. He was a man with a Heart he said. I don't know what he means. But somehow I understand now. Thank you for likely my comment. May God Bless you! Remember this coming Wednesday is Ash Wednesday. Remember to attend a church service.
