Jeremy Spencer on YouTube (aka I spend too much time watching videos on YouTube)
Ok so I got bored tonight and dug around a bit on YouTube. Sure you've probably all seen these before but that doesn't make them any less brilliant if you watch them again

However, there must have been a breathtaking Linda in the audience during My Baby's Sweet(er). As you can see, Danny is completely overwhelmed. From 2:02 till at least 2:20, when the camera moves to another part of the room (do we see Linda???), he's completely lost at changing chords. |

What I like about the song is that it demonstrates the versatility of Mr Spencer. So different from his Elmore James covers.
Sure, it was still Jeremy in parody mode but I don't think that takes away from its value? |

These videos were very enjoyable and it was my first time viewing them. Jeremy, you sure were a hottie back then.
I have heard the song Linda on the oldies station many times in my life and never knew it was Jeremy & Fleetwood Mac. I always thought it was a Roy Orbison song. |

Vocally, I think those type of songs are fun to sing, in a Buddy Holly way. Michele |

Wow, so all these years I've been hearing an old FM song. This was in Arizona and in Massachusetts.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1ClOAX9zFw Of course both songs are heavily influenced by Buddy Holly, most notably his song "Peggy Sue". But "Sheila", as a hit song from the early '60s, would be far more likely to be played on US radio than "Linda", which was never even released in the US. |

Tommy Roe's "Sheila" was popular enough to be covered by another '60s group from the UK:
