Best-remembered for his hits "Sheila" (1962) and "Dizzy" (1969),Thomas David aka "Tommy" Roe was widely perceived as one of the archetypal bubblegum artists of the late 1960s, but cut some pretty decent rockers along the way, especially early in his career. In 1986, Roe was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame and his music has been acknowledged by the Rockabilly Hall of Fame."Sheila" was both written and performed by Tommy Roe and it reached number one on the US Hot Billboard 100 chart and number three on the UK Singles chart in 1962.
Johnnie & Joe were an American R&B vocal duo from The Bronx, who were best known for their 1957 hit "Over the Mountain; Across the Sea."
Johnnie Louise Richardson and Joe Rivers began singing together in 1957 and released several singles on Chess Records, which were leased from J & S Records, to whom the duo were under contract. Richardson was the daughter of the J&S label owner, Zelma "Zell" Sanders, who had been a touring member of The Hearts.
Three of the songs hit the U.S. singles charts. "Over the Mountain, Across the Sea", written by Rex Garvin, went to #3 on the R&B chart and #8 on the Billboard Hot 100, and "I'll Be Spinning", written by Freddie Scott, went Top 10 R&B, both in 1957.
