My Take
Tommy Roe is easy to file under bubblegum and forget, but I think that does him a disservice. Sheila, Sweet Pea and Dizzy are impossibly catchy, the sort of songs that lodge in your head for days, yet his early work had a genuine rock bite that critics like Bill Dahl rightly flagged. What I admire is the songwriting craft underneath the sweetness; writers who generate their own hooks tend to outlast the fads that briefly define them. The Atlanta native helped color the 1960s with pure pop joy, and I respect anyone who can make happiness sound that effortless.
