Tommy Roe

Born Thomas David Roe in Atlanta, Georgia, United States, he was raised in Alpharetta, Georgia where he was part of a high school band. Greatly influenced by the sounds of the late Buddy Holly, Tommy Roe developed a unique style that, combined with his All-American clean-cut image, made him a popular musical performer throughout the 1960s.

Roe had a Billboard No.1 hit record hit in the United States and in Australia in 1962 with the song, "Sheila" and the following year scored two Top 10 hits with "Everybody" and the critically acclaimed "The Folk Singer." Following the enormously successful tour of the United Kingdom by friend Roy Orbison, Tommy Roe toured there and then moved to England where he lived for several years. In 1965, he and Jerry Lee Lewis combined with Orbison to create an LP for the Pickwick International label. During the 1960s, he had several more top forty hits until 1969 when his song "Dizzy" went to No.1 on the UK Singles Chart as well as to Billboard's No.1 in the USA.

A resident of Beverly Hills, California, Roe is married to Josette Banzet, an actress from France who won a Golden Globe Award for best supporting for her performance in the 1976 television mini-series, Rich Man, Poor Man.

In 1986, Tommy Roe was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame.

Although his style of music declined in popularity with the 1970s mass market, Tommy Roe maintained a following and continued to perform at a variety of concert venues, sometimes with sixties nostalgia rock and rollers such as Freddy Cannon and Bobby Vee.

Tommy Roe, born May 9, 1942 is an American pop music singer/songwriter. The single Luv Your Life was a great success, featuring a colourful animated music video reminiscient of The Beatles' Yellow Submarine. "Jam Up and Jelly Tight" (1970). Leaving the darkness and negativity of the previous albums behind, Diorama was written and produced entirely by Daniel, yielding a positive and unique sound barely recognizable from their old days of grunge, featuring string and orchestral backing. "Jack And Jill" (1969). The third album, Neon Ballroom, diverged from Freak Show by adding a greater amount of experimentation and piano/string arrangements.

"Dizzy" (1969). The follow up Freak Show is much darker, heavier and "grungier", but did not reach the same level of success as Frogstomp despite the popularity of the single Freak. "Horray for Hazel" (1966). After the win Silverchair quickly released their debut album Frogstomp, which although referred to as "light-grunge" by many critics went platinum in the US. "Sweet Pea" (1966). Silverchair came to national notice after winning a JJJ demo-contest with the song "Tomorrow," enjoying much attention during the grunge hype of the early 1990s. "The Folk Singer" (1963). However, Tobin moved overseas, and the band became a trio.

"Everybody" (1963). The group met at Ben's garage to play covers of Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and others. "Sheila" (1962). The group was originally a four piece group, including Tobin Finnane. They were formed in Newcastle, New South Wales, the sixth-largest city in Australia, 160 km north of Sydney. Its members are Daniel Johns, Chris Joannu, and Ben Gilles.
