Tommy Roe

Roe was one of the most successful Buddy Holly imitators to arrive on the scene after Holly's untimely death. His big single, Sheila (1962) was a musical and vocal copy of Holly, which he followed with the less Holly-esque The Folk Singer and Everybody (1963), before lapsing into obscurity, apparently forgotten.

In 1969 he came from nowhere and made Number 1 in the UK with Dizzy.
