The coolest -- awesome find -- out on someone's lawn, people dancing in the yard & good closeups of none other than a young BO -- thanks Bill! 😀

You're welcome! I heard about this from a friend in England and had to pass it along. Enjoy!

Whoa, very cool.
Thanks

I just found this on Youtube. It must be a history of the Roemans. At he beginning, Berry isn't in the group but he shows up somewhere in the middle. I didn't watch the whole thing so I don't know how much of Berry is included so, take a look:
Here is one with Berry playing the bass with a ladle. Really!
There seem to be several videos of the Roemans on Youtube. SO instead of me posting links to them, just go to Youtube and search for "the Roemans"

WOW! Cool find for sure! Thanks!

Time to give this a bump to the top.

I actually have a 2-3 "stage of separation" with Tommy Roe. He grew up in one of the neighborhoods that I lived in when I was a kid (Atlanta's West End) - he attended the same schools that I did (me 15 years later). One of my cousins' husband is friends with Tommy. Tommy was basically a bubble-gum pop star i the 60's. How many people can say that the Beatles opened shows for them? Only Tommy and Little Richard to my knowledge. He actually still plays from time to time (80 years old).
I know! This is about Berry! I've got one for that, too! I think those clips were videotaped for American Bandstand at Birmingham's, Vulcan Park. You can't tell, but it overlooks the city (Birmingham was a small place back then). The HS that I graduated from is just down the hill from where these folks are partying. Can't see that, either.

I believe Tommy's first hit was "Sheila" where he sounded a lot like Buddy Holly, even to Buddy's quirks. But he found his own voice, and had some enjoyable bubble-gum pop songs.
