"Hooray For Hazel" #6 11/5/1966

Tommy Roe could be called one of the inventors of bubblegum music. He had a total of 11 Top 40 records, probably none of which dealt with terribly heavy subject matter, but all in all he did quite well. He and Chris Montez toured England with the Beatles right as the boys were taking off in '63, and the response was nuts. Tommy returned the favor by opening for their very first American concert, held in Washington, DC, where the atmosphere was even nuttier.
