Popular singer-songwriter Tommy Roe (Sheila, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 84th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Roe, a cultural icon

Born Thomas David Roe in Atlanta on May 9, 1942, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Roe's not just a great singer, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Tommy hasn't done.
